Movie Review: War of the Worlds

Today's review is my second review in Kemz Movies. I will try my best to nail it this time, because I wanted to review a month ago the movie "Forrest Gump" however, I was really surprised of how hard and complex it is to write about this kind of movies.

First let me introduce a movie of one of my favorite actor, Tom Cruise, and my past crush Dakota Fanning: War of the Worlds.

From the name it just gave me goose bumps. My expectations got as high as possible from the beginning of the movie. It attracts the watcher to keep moving on and forgets about time. Even though it’s 2 hours long, you wouldn't notice it, because of all the entertainment and action it delivers. I have watched it several times and each time was different. Every time I've seen it, it just pulls me more to keep going. I love this kind of movies. It keeps floating into your head after you've finished watching it.

To talk briefly on the movie’s story, aliens invade Earth, trying to destroy mankind. Their machines were buried beneath earth before we got into existing. Our hero Ray (Tom Cruise), the dad, faces true dangerous situations, trying to keep his daughter and son safe. Will he manage to protect them from aliens? Even with the machines that have invisible shells that can evade rocket launchers? I will let you find the answer when you watch the movie.

In my opinion, this movie fits well for those who loved War World Z. If you have seen this movie, you will easily demonstrate the thrill found in War of the Worlds.

Not to forget to mention the emotions and the feeling you gonna have trying to keep up with the movie. As I watched lots of movies of Tom Cruise, I could possibly say it’s the second most brilliant performance after his performance in The Last Samurai.

However, with all the entertainment and amusement I received from watching this movie. I find a little mistake took place in the movie from the beginning, casting Justin Chatwin to play the role of the son wasn’t really a good idea.

In this particular movie, the son faces tragic, frustrated situations that his facial expression should have shown the emotions he went through, but unfortunately, it didn’t happen. His performance weren’t good enough for War Of The worlds. And also to find out more about his acting career, go Google his name, and see why I said it was a mistake. Still, the movie is amazing.

One more thing to clarify here, if you were one of those people who don’t enjoy sci-fi and love actors like Jason Statham, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Lee etc., then don't watch this movie. You won't find fighting scenes like the way can find in those actors typical movie.

However, again if you enjoy movies like War World Z, I would highly recommend this movie for you. For more info and the trailer, please click here.

Now, I finished my review and hope it will excite you enough to watch the movie and enjoy it!

Movie Review: Edge of Tomorrow

The newest Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt’s movie is just amazing! I loved watching it in Cinema and it’s a movie that I will watch again and will remember for a while!

It’s the normal story of aliens (the ugly kind, not cute Thor kind of aliens) invading Earth and how the National Army is planning for one big hit that they think will destroy the aliens. Officer Cage (Cruise), a previous ad guy, is the army’s PR representative, but when he has a disagreement with the General, he finds himself in the front getting ready to fight. In the day of the battle everything goes wrong, but somehow Cage manages to kill one of the aliens. Killing this one unique alien gave him the power to reset time. Whenever he dies, he starts the day all over again.

I was like, OMG, that is like a dying in a video game, getting a Game Over then just rebooting and starting all over again! It was super wicked! I really loved it. There’s a lot of movies that had time traveling and days repeating, but this one is gripping thrilling and “OMG when this is gonna end, but I don’t want it to end” kind of movie.

Tom Cruise was beyond brilliant in the movie. He nailed the development of the character from just wanting to promote the army and into having to face the strongest and most horrible enemy humans have ever faced. And I can’t express how impressed I was with Emily Blunt! She really can play the action movies! The chemistry between her and Tom was so good! They were badass warriors yet so cute together. And funny!! There were some really funny lines coming from Tom!

The movie doesn’t only have romance, but it’s full with sick combat scenes! It was just awesome! The special features weren’t mind blowing, like it’s what we are used too, but it worked! The suits that the soldiers wore for me, were yes, good, but I felt they were a bit heavy and it kind of made me feel nervous for the soldiers hahaha. 

However, the whole movie experience was just aaaah, AMAZING! I mean … Live. Die. Repeat … what more can one say?!

The movie is also based on the novel, “All You Need Is Kill” by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. All the best movies are based on books <3

So, this is my last review before Ramadan.

Till August ;),

Movie Review: The Last Samurai

Are you a fan of Japanese culture? More specifically the Samurai?

If you are then, not watching this movie will definitely kick you out of the Japanese lover list!!  Also, if you are not that type then, your mind will just be taken away by it's imaginative and has an amazing plot and magical landscapes.

It is a movie that will appeal to many tastes since it represent a lot of genres: history, drama and action. It’s amazing, emotional and relaxing. It is a movie that gives people a huge amount of Life lessons.

The story was written by the hands of the famous, successful writer John Logan, who is known by his previous 14 years old movie Gladiator, which won 5 Oscars.

Tom Cruise played the role of the American military captain, Nathan Algren. The Japanese culture plus the actor of, War of the Worlds is something imaginative, believe me.

Nathan’s life was a mess; all he felt was guilt and regret from what he had done in his past; the killing of innocent people. Whenever he experiences flashbacks of scenes of war and the killing of children, adults and the elderly, he gets depressed of what happened and his only option to ignore his past mistakes was to get drunk.

Later on, the Japanese government wanted to hire a professional military leader to train and lead the Japanese soldiers, in order to assassinate the samurai katsumoto (Ken Watanabe), along with his companions, who you will fall in love with just like me! Just kidding.

Anyways, he soon will fall in the hands of the samurai's. At first, he wonders about these people. How are they living together and what kept them fighting together for the past thousands of years?

He then realizes and understands the environment, and understands the way of the samurai and how to find the true pleasure of life that we all seek but few live.

Yup, he really did made me understand and surely he will do the same for you.

Carrying on the story will only ruin the movie and its entertainment, but I can't tell you how I respect this movie, it is somehow realistic and at the same time imaginary!! Believe me, I have watched it over 5 times and I still do, because looking at their perspective of life, like Nathan does in the movie, his past changed. He became a whole different person with less anxiety, more aware of his surrounding and has something to protect and has something to live for. They gave him the concepts of life.

Also, watching how their empire lasted for thousands of years is in itself an honor. They have been protecting it from the past and until now. All of these traditions still being held, the remaining traditions of the samurai history.

One of the best things I love about the samurai is there sword "katana." it is mostly one of the strongest in history because of its sharpness and the holder himself. I truly would love to have one!!

Of course, not to mention the world’s Music Legend Hans Zimmer had his hands on the film. He is a man whom spell of soundtrack enchant millions of people. Especially in this movie, one of the special soundtracks in the movie is "Small Measure of Peace”, an absolute masterpiece of art. The name of it is something important in the movie, which Nathan Algren is seeking for.

Just to mention, it is the best most amazing imaginary soundtrack to me. It is relaxing, which feeds your soul by its taste. Every time I hear it, it reminds me of all that’s good in the nature, specially the cherry tree "Sakura." it is a beautiful kind of trees, with pink leaves filling it. The tree shall give you the peace you are looking for.

What I regret the most is not watching this film in the cinema. I wasn't that movie addict kind of person before, and to be honest I didn't like Japan. I actually thought of it as a normal country with some weird culture. But once I watched this specific movie, it really changed the way I thought of it, and the impact it left on me was weird at the same time awesome.

So don't waste your time. Order it from amazon, and I prefer it to be in Blue Ray so it can astonish it's full potential awesomeness to you.

Movie Review: Mission Impossible 4

Ok, so to tell the truth for years now I’ve been hating Tom Cruise. For some reason I just couldn’t stand seeing him on the big screen. I feel like he went weird crazy and I know many of you readers agree with me. But he is improving!! I thought of that when I saw “Knight & Day”, but now I’m sure of it after seeing Mission Impossible 4!!

Mission Impossible is timeless! I grew up with this movie and its sequels. The first one kinda baffled me, I think because I was too young, haha! But it’s the Original one! You can never deny the way Tom’s actiony flying move in that white room changed action movies history!! I can’t describe it in a better way, but to MI fans, you’ll know what I’m talking about :p. The second part will always be my favorite!! I mean the first scene with Tom on the mountains is just OMG!! I loved how it’s all about a virus and its cure as well. It was really amazing!! The third one was a complete and utter DISASTER!!!! I still don’t understand its plot and I don’t think I will ever do !! It came out in the crazy period of Tom Cruise haha! So that’s explains it!

So now to MI4!! It was so FUN!!! The plot was back to being simple, yet very very exciting!! And it was humorous as well! From Russia to Dubai to India, it was ACTION PACKED!!! I really enjoyed it and loved it!! The scenes were really cool and as always, you have the “good” crazy Ethan Hunts moves with climbing Burj Khalifa!! That scene was soooo thrilling!! It even scared me!! Haha!!

I seriously loved it! Especially when they went to Dubai! It was so fun seeing a neighboring city (especially an Arab one) in a movie as fun as this! And the most exciting part was in it!! I don’t wanna say much more so I won’t spoil it for you, reader, but still, so proud of DUBAI!!! :D

I love the rest of the cast as well, they weren’t the original cast, but they were perfect!!

So this is a MUST SEE MOVIE!! And since we’re gonna head to a boring slow period of movies, you should take the time to see this one!!

And Tom, Please keep up the good work!!!!!
