TOP 10 : My List of Top 10 Movies of 2013

Please take note this list might differ from others because obviously I didn't watch all the movies from 2013, even some popular ones. So, if your favorite movie is not on this list, then please remember this ya.

Well, let's get started shall we?


10. Man Of Steel

Example of an over-hyped and over-budget movie. I actually even considered not putting this on this list. But to give Christopher Nolan credits, here it is, sitting in the 10th spot.


9. Pacific Rim

 A pretty good action flick I must say. Big robots fighting big monsters, nothing could go wrong right?
Damn, that reminds me of Transformers 2, yea, that went wrong.


8. Iron Man 3

Personally, I'm not really a big fan of Iron Man. But this is definitely one of the best superhero movie of the year. Robert Downey Jr. is as excellent as always, and Gwyneth Paltrow, oh yeah she's pretty. Overall a very enjoyable film, and that fucking Mandarin, hahahaha!


7. World War Z

Fast-as-shit zombies, stack-and-pile zombies, gruesome zombies, that is why this movie is so awesome.
I've always doubted this movie, looks like any other over-budget and over-effect movie. Turns out it's pretty decent. A little bit of unexpected plot, good turning point of the story line and great acting by who else, Brad Pitt of cause.


6. The Lone Ranger

A pretty underrated movie of this year. Many people were telling me that this movie sucked. But I think it's pretty good. Johnny Depp never ceases to amaze us with his wonderful acting and the overall movie is hilarious and great. I really enjoyed this movie.


5. Kick-Ass 2

Chloe Grace Moretz, Chloe Grace Moretz, Chloe Grace Moretz, Chloe Grace Moretz, Chloe Grace Moretz, Chloe Grace Moretz, Chloe Grace Moretz!
Well, the first Kick-Ass was already a damn good comedy/action flick and now you add Jim Carrey into it, oh yeah now this is a fucking good movie. Last but not least, Chloe Grace Moretz please!


4. Fast and Furious 6

The Fast and Furious series is definitely heading towards the correct direction. With Justin Lin as the new director since the previous episodes (excluding Tokyo Drift), it has grown into one of the most epic franchise in the recent years.

To sum up this movie, it is jaw-dropping, blood-pumping, fast-racing, gun-blazing, aeroplane-jumping, highway-jumping, anywhere-jumping good! Yea, some scenes were too fake, but still it has earned a place in all of our hearts. R.I.P Paul Walker.


3. This Is The End

A movie that was meant to enjoy and not taken seriously. And prepare to laugh your ass off. If you still haven't seen this, go and download it now!


2. Gravity

Gravity is definitely the break-through film this year. With excellent and creative camera-works and Oscar-worthy performance by Sandra Bullock, it's definitely one of many's favourite selection of No.1 movie of this year. To check out my full review of this movie, click HERE.



And the No.1 movie of the year goes to...

1. The Hobbit 2: The Desolation of Smaug

Seriously, were you guys expecting something else?
This movie is already a masterpiece, all-round perfect movie.
Great music-score, epic and beautiful scenery (well have to include this one because the places are just too damn beautiful), nice storyline (based on the book of course), a group of adorable dwarfs and more and more.

Well, all the beautiful memories of Lord the of Rings are coming back, damn I'm gonna cry.
Why do I have to wait a year for the sequel? Damn, December of 2014 comes faster please!



That concludes my list, now all I have left is the list of  Top 15 EDM Tracks of 2013.
Stay tuned guys.
Oh yeah, Happy Christmas and Happy New Year guys.
A great year has passed, and may the next year be even better of the all of us.

A Beauty A Week #7

Beauty #7
Seo Ju Hyun






Okay, people who knew me would have already guessed that at one point I will put her in this list.
Although I'm no more a K-Pop fanatic, but I still adore her.
One thing for sure, she will always be my most-favoured girl out of all the 9.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Actually I'm really being lazy recently, one girl a week is very troublesome and sometimes I will go running out of ideas and can't decide which girl to put because I can't even find one.

If this keeps on I'm going have to make it ''A Beauty A Month'' since it's easier that way.
We'll see.

And actually I have a lot of ideas in my mind now, I feel like wanna blog all of these out.
Will find some free time and write it all out.

Oh yeah by the way, I'm new in Instagram, follow me here:

A Beauty A Week #6 vs. GRAVITY!

Beauty #6
Dianna Agron








Well, I'm not a fan of Glee, but I think no one can disagree with me that Dianna Agron is superbly beautiful in that show.

Imagining her in the cheerleader costume is like holy shit!
Once again she's still a young actress, and has a long road ahead in her career.
Let's just wish her all the best.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

By the way, finished watching Gravity two days ago with my girl.
As a super-movie-maniac myself, after seeing a lot of great reviews about this movie, of cause I won't waste even a single chance to go and watch and know about what's so great about this movie.

And here's my review of Gravity.

By saying that this is one of this year's top film, I can go with that.
Anyone remembers the famous tagline from the movie Alien?
''In space, no one can hear you scream.''
Well, that tagline goes really well in this movie.

First of all, this movie gives off a very authentic feeling of Space. Oscar-winners Sandra Bullock and George Clooney gave off a superb performance, especially Sandra Bullock, people are saying that her performance in here will win her another Oscar.

The darkness of the vast galaxy, imagine yourself wandering aimlessly in that place, you wouldn't want that to happen.

The camera-work is fantastic, it makes you dizzy but yet it makes you feel like you are there, inside the perspective of an astronaut. It's a weird yet awesome feelings.

If you are a casual movie go-er, you will find that this movie doesn't suit your taste at all because it focuses on more the story-telling, the dialogue especially, I love the dialogues in this movie, the interaction between Bullock and Clooney is really fun to watch.

One of the purpose of this movie is to give you the claustrophobic feeling of being in Space, it keeps you on the edge of your seat and you will find yourself going through one hell of a ride.

I may not say this is a masterpiece, but it's certainly a great movie this year.
Be sure to watch it!

Rated : 8.5/10


And if you forgot how I rate the movies, you can always refer back to this post:

Until then, keep on reading my blog.
