College is absolutely exhausting, did I mention that ?

It has been a while since I last updated. My apologies. Within these few weeks, I find it harder to actually sit myself down to write something. Things have been busy more than usual. I have about 5 tests or so this coming week and I haven't really prepared much yet. Yikes. I am in trouble now. Plus, I am getting more exhausted more and more as time pass by.

I didn't do much this few weeks. I did manage to catch some movies this few weeks in the cinema. One being Jupiter Ascending and the other, Kingsman : The Secret Service.

I know it has been quite long since the movie is released but I really have been extremely busy tese few weeks. (I know, it is just excuses to some people.) Anyway, I will start with Jupiter Ascending.


I am just going to go right in without section whatsoever.

This is an awful movie. Nope, not even going to help defense this film. I watched it with my group of friends and despite how we heard awful reviews, I wanted to watch a movie and if it was bad, I could laugh about it with someone.

It really was awful. No joke. The idea of the whole movie was good, but the way it was told, expressed and expanded was not exactly what I call Grade A writing. I spent about 3 quarter of the movies laughing at the idiocy of the whole situation. It was not the acting, more of the story line. There was a part where Mila Kunis was like surrounded by bees because they recognize her as queen. It was hilarious.

What I think shocked me the most is that Sean Bean who is in the movie, did not die ! For the first time (I am sure there were other times but so far the movies and show I seen), he never died ! Yay for alive Sean Bean. I am sorry to say but this is not a movie I would ask people to watch. It was just 2 hours of pure laughing at the cheesiness of the whole movie. Sorry, but no sorry. Try better next time. Yikes.


The other movie is Kingsman: The Secret Service. I am going to speed things up but I will try to include all my thoughts in if anyone is interested.



Plot
The whole plot revolved around this young man called Eggsy, whose late father was a member of a secret british spy organisation called Kingsman (duhhh). Ever since he lost his father, his mother remarried to a man who was involved in gangster (If I am not mistaken.) So, in order to run away from the brash life at home, he often get himself into trouble which  will get him behind bars one day. So a dashing gentleman, Harry Hart (which is played by the amazing Colin Firth), who was a co-worker of his late father saw potential in this young man, and brought him into this secret service to train and become a new Kingsman. Things go smoothly until some people gets killed and well, the shit had hit the fan.

I personally think the plot was a bit typical but somehow they manage to breathe a new fresh air into these type of spy story which I thoroughly am impressed. I found myself laughing at most of the scene because Eggsy is so hilarious and how the story line and the writing goes, it just caught my attention, never once making me bored.

Character
I think the characters are quite realistic, besides those some elements that we know that will never happen in real life but it is what makes it fun to watch and interesting isn't it ?

Colin Firth plays the role of a gentleman perfectly and the newcomer, Taron Egerton, too brought out the best of his character. As usual, Samuel L.Jackson was fantastic in his villain character and the accent is just hilarious. Makes me laugh inside everything he explain something to the characters in that accent of his. Just pure entertainment. The ending was unexpected and it was nice to see something different. Instead of the typical story on how the main guy somehow get the main girl always at the end of the movie.

Conclusion
Do I like it ? Yes ! Absolutely ! I didn't feel like I wasted 2 hours of my time on that movie because it was balanced between  the jokes and the element of seriousness in the story line and characters. If you have the time, go check it out because who knows ? You may enjoy it as much as I do.

I am feeling kinda stupid and worthless today. My reviews is not exactly the best out there but I am trying to convey my opinion out there. I apologize if it is horrible. Especially today, it just feel out of place today. Anyway, I stop here. Duties calls and when I meant duties, I meant college and its shitload of work to complete and the depressing night I have to go through every night. Night !
