Thanks to Magnum for the free movie and refreshment.

Photobucket


Release Date: 05 April 2012--->Watch on 30 March 2012 (Friday), 9pm at MBO, Subang Parade
Language: English
Subtitle: Malay / Chinese
Genre: Adventure / Drama
Running Time: 3 Hours 15 Minutes
Director: James Cameron
Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, Bill Paxton

My Penny of View : A team of treasure hunter was exploring the wreck of Titanic, searching for the Heart of the Ocean but they only found some sketches. An old woman heard about the news and came to the salvage ship. While she was looking at the sketches, she recalled back her time aboard the Titanic. Back to 1912 when Titanic was first sailing on the ocean, Rose was on board with her mother and fiance. On the other hand, Jack won Titanic ticket from a gambling. Rose was unwilling to marry to her fiance and she wanted to suicide. Coincidentally Jack was there and he stopped her for doing that. That was first meeting between Rose and Jack. What will happen to them?

This movie was produced 15 years ago. After so many years, I still amazed with the magnificent shooting and great story line. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet were so young; and never forget talented director, James Cameron. It still the best movie after Avatar. This movie is exactly the same old movie with some add on 3D effects which it's not that easy to see, with digital quality but when I was watching the movie again, I was thinking how James Cameron able to do it with limited technology? 15 years later, there is no other movie able to beat Titanic. Don't forget the hits song, My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion. The scene of a bunch of musicians insisted to play songs to comfort the passengers until the ship sank make my tears drop. Maybe because I play music too. Another short scene make me feel touching is an old couple hold tightly with each other when death approach them. It was such a great movie but this is a clean version because it needs to show in Malaysia cinema. Photobucket

Magnum Screening-Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

Thanks to Magnum for the free movie and popcorn & drinks.

Photobucket


Release Date: 15 December 2011--->Watch on 15 December 2011 (Thursday), 9.30pm at Cathay, e@Curve
Language: English
Subtitle: Malay / Chinese
Genre: Action
Running Time: 2 Hours 13 Minutes
Director: Brad Bird
Cast: Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Paula Patton, Michael Nyqvist, Vladimir Mashkov, Josh Holloway, Anil Kapoor, Léa Seydoux

My Penny of View : In an assignment named Cobalt in Budapest, an IMF Agent killed by an assassin. On another side, Agent Ethan Hunt was rescued from a Moscow prison by Jane and Benji. The reason he has been rescued was to finish up the Cobalt assignment. They were required to go to Moscow Kremlin archives to locate files identifying Cobalt. During the mission, someone interrupted the IMF frequency and alerted the Russians. Ethan, Jane and Benji successfully escaped but they have been identified as the planner for the bombing. The Russians called the attack as undeclared act of war and the US president activated Ghost Protocol to disavow the entire IMF. What will happen to Ethan, Jane and Benji? Will they manage to solve the tension between Russia and US as well as save IMF?

Who don't know about handsome Tom Cruise with his famous act, Mission Impossible? The theme song is another symbol of the movie. Usually I won't have too much of expectations for this kind of continuous movie because the story line is always the same. The secret agent needs to complete an extraordinary mission, after so many obstacles, he will solve it in the stylist way. Beautiful and sexy lady girl is always one of the most important character in the movie. However, I can tell you that the movie is above my expectations. The action sequences are heart-stirring, exciting and fun. Tom Cruise scales the outside of the Burj Khalifa tower, which is the tallest building in the worldstuck at the high rise building in Dubai was thrilling and the multi-level parking garage was another unforgettable scene. After so many years, the charming Tom Cruise is getting older and fatter but his smile still can kill many girls and his actions still quick and nimble.

Magnum Screening-Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides 3D


Thanks to Magnum for the free 3D movie and popcorn & drinks.

Photobucket

Release Date : 19 May 2011--->Watch on 19 May 2011 (Thursday), 9pm at GSC, 1 Utama
Language : English
Subtitle : Malay / Chinese
Genre : Action / Adventure
Running Time : 2 Hours 20 Minutes
Director : Rob Marshall
Cast : Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Penelope Cruz, Ian McShane, Kevin R. McNally, Astrid Berges-Frisbey, Sam Claflin


My Penny of View : Two fisherman caught a man in their fishing net and the man claimed that he served Juan Ponce de León who reported died 200 years ago. The man said the exploration crew found the Fountain of Youth. The man was brought to the Spanish King and the king ordered his Secret Service to find the fountain. On the other hand, Gibbs has been mistaken as Captain Jack Sparrow and he was put on a trial. Captain Jack showed up by pretending as a judge and put Gibbs under life prison and transferred Gibbs to jail under minimum security. During the planned escape, both of them were arrested by crown forces. They brought Captain Jack to the British King. The king wanted Captain Jack to guide the British expedition to find the Fountain of Youth with Captain Hector who lost a leg and the Black Pearl. Captain Jack successfully escaped and he found out that the impostor was his former love, Angelica. After escaping from the crown forces, Angelica put Captain Jack to sleep and brought him on board the Queen Anne's Revenge which commanded by the cruel Blackbeard. What will happen to Captain Jack? Will he able to find the Fountain of Youth?

It is the first Pirates of the Caribbean film to be released in 3D since the last movie in 2007. Captain Jack Sparrow who walks with a slightly drunken swagger and has slurred speech and flailing hand gestures back in action with more exciting story. The story was interesting. In this movie, the pirates were exploring the journey to find the Fountain of Youth. During the exploration journey, they met mermaids. I think that scene was heart thrilling, the mermaids were fast and cruel. The legendary Blackbeard made appearance for the the first time. I was amazed by his mysterious power to control the Queen Anne's Revenge. However, the whole movie was quite dark. So, don't watch this movie when you are tired or sleepy. This film has nice scenery because it was filmed at Hawaii. The soul of the movie is Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. I can say "He did it again." No one else is able to carry the role of Captain Jack Sparrow as good as Johnny Depp. After this movie, I'm looking forward for his next expedition. One more thing, watch 2D is just good enough because the film is interesting with the story and characters, not the 3D effects.

Magnum Movie Nite-Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides


Photobucket


Are you ready for one of the Blockbuster movie of year 2011 which is Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides? Thanks to Magnum, I'm going to watch this movie on the first day of screening.

Synopsis: Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Rob Marshall, "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" captures the fun, adventure and humor that ignited the hit franchise - this time in Disney Digital 3D™. Johnny Depp returns to his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow in an action-packed tale of truth, betrayal, youth and demise. When Jack crosses paths with a woman from his past (Penelope Cruz), he's not sure if it's love - or if she's a ruthless con artist who's using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn't know who to fear more: Blackbeard or the woman from his past.

Magnum Screening-Tron Legacy 3D

Thanks to Magnum's invitation for the free movie.

Photobucket


Release Date : 16 December 2010--->Watch on 16 December 2010 (Thursday), 9.30pm at GSC, 1 Utama
Language : English
Subtitle : Info not available
Genre : Adventure / Science Fiction
Running Time : 2 Hours 5 Minutes
Director : Joseph Kosinski
Cast : Garrett Hedlund, Jeff Bridges, Michael Sheen, Olivia Wilde

My Penny of View : Flynn was an innovative software programmer. One night, he disappeared mysteriously and left his son, Sam haunted by his disappearance. 20 years later, Flynn's friend, Alan received a page from Flynn's pager. Therefore, Sam went to find out about the mysterious page. When he arrived at Flynn's Arcade, he activated the laser and transported him to the Grid, a world existing inside the computer. Later Sam has been caught and sent to the Gladiatorial Games. What will happen to Sam? Will he survive?

This movie is a sequel to the 1982 film Tron. OK, I not yet born. So, I was totally no idea about the story. Sometimes I found that if I watch a movie this way will give me more surprises. Anyway, it's a 3D movie and I was looking forward for excellent 3D effects. For this movie, not all the scenes were in 3D but you still need to wear the glasses during the whole movie. The 3D effects was good, you always can see a lot of neon lights. I'm impress with the high technology that used in the movie. Further, sound effects was good too. It made me heart thrilling and felt nervous for the chasing scenes. I personally think that they should cut down the talking parts plus due to no subtitle for 3D movie, I fell asleep for a few minutes. Overall, it was good with condition you like this kind of computer game movies.

Magnum Movie Nite-Tron Legacy 3D

Oops...Magnum did it again. This round Magnum going to bring bloggers and supporters to watch Tron Legacy 3D. Photobucket

Photobucket


Synopsis: Following the 1982 original, this reupdate is a 3-D cyber adventure set in a digital world where Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), looks into his father's disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programmes and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin's loyal confidante (Olivia Wilde), both father and son embark on a life-or-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.

Exciting, right? How to get the tickets? Very easy, just visit magnummovienite3d.eventbrite.com and register to get yourself a seat. Get all your friends along too! For Bloggers, post this event poster on your blog and give a suggestion on what else Magnum can organize for you and the rest of the online community (outings, contests, charity etc).

Beside Movie Nite, I think Magnum can think about organize treasure hunt, probably work together with some charity organizations such as Hospis or Mercy. It's can be part of the social responsibility and meanwhile increase the popularity of Magnum. I'm definitely will take part. Photobucket

We were sitting at quite a good spot in the beginning. When the Red Carpet session, we have been asked to change to another table. It was slightly disappointed because we left the good spot for the show. Anyway, it was great to meet the Magnum crew. Now I know who is the one responsible for the Facebook and Twitter. It was great to meet up with Amelia too.

There were many guests and VVIP attended the event. Ben is friendly and cute in real person. Henry Golding also came for this event, he smiled at me and he is awesome.

When all the guests arrived, our food & drinks fest began.
