Tropic Thunder (EN)


















Details

Movie Title: Tropic Thunder
Language: English
Release Date : 13-Aug-2008 [NA]
Movie Duration : 107 mins
Genre : Comedies / Action

Synopsis
In this action-comedy, Ben Stiller plays pampered action superstar Tugg Speedman, who is cast in the biggest, most expensive war movie ever produced. He sets out to Southeast Asia with a "Who's Who" of celebrity co-stars. They include Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Jr.), an intense, three-time Oscar-winning actor; Jeff Portney (Jack Black), star of the popular gross-out comedy franchise "The Fatties"; multi-platinum hiphop-star-turned-entrepreneur-turned-actor Alpa Chino (Brandon T Jackson); and first-timer Kevin Sandusky (Jay Baruchel). Soon after the production begins the actors are thrown into a real-life situation and are forced to become the fighting unit they're portraying, in order to find a way out of the jungle in one piece.



Ayashi's Review
It's hilarious all right... but don't really like it. The story plot and how the events started seems too fake to me. There are couple of scenes which are very disgusting to me...

Rating: 6.5/10

Notes from Ayashi
Another Anime from Manga-illustrated. Its ongoing manga can be viewed online from onemanga.


Ayashi's Anime Review
Although, I might admit this Anime actually has silly storyline but... it never fail to entertain me. The comedy never cease. Each episode is getting funnier and crazier. As mentioned above, this Anime is in the Edo period, meaning it's before Year 1868, and yet they have crazy high-technology things.

Highly recommended. Rating: 9/10.
P/S: Gintama will make u laugh like there's no tomorrow! :D





And don't forget to mention our all times favourite chara, Elizabeth ....

Ayashi's Anime Review

Finally I managed to complete this anime today! I believe most viewer might comment about the funny / weird drawings of the background and chara. I, personally, think it has some similarity to Disney Drawing Style -___-|| ... But! after watching few episodes, it's a "not-so-bad-to-watch" anime.

My Rating: 7.5/10





And hey! How can we forget to mention him? That legendary sword / hero .... ~..~



















BAKA!

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete (JP)


















Details

Released on : 16-Apr-2009

Synopsis
Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete is two years after the Planet Destruction by Meteor incident. During that brink of destruction, "Lifestream" has saved the Planet. However, people exposed to the sudden burst of Lifestream are getting mystery illness called "Geostigma" which results in death. This CG movie casts the incident aftermath where everyone struggle to live a normal life.

Meanwhile, three mystery brothers appear and desperately wanting to retrieve their mother, "Jenova" by all means. Our superb hero, Cloud comes to the scenes to fight them off. Can he stop the Reunion?

Ayashi's Review [Spoiler-Free!]
A must watch to all Final Fantasy fans. This is a new Remake / Complete Version of Advent Children with extra scenes included, more action & more bloodshed. I'm surprise to see parts of Crisis Core and Denzel Episode are included in between this movie. Reno-san is still very attractive to me ^^. Another compliment to be noted is the dirt & blood effect on the chara faces, which have none in previous Advent Children. Very well-made CG movie. Love it!
Rating: 9/10 ~ Highly Recommended
