MOVIE REVIEW : Jurassic World

I wish this theme park is real huhu T.T

Hello readers!

And today I'm gonna do a review on a movie entitled as above - JURASSIC WORLD!

Ahhaaa, so actually this is the movie that I watched yesterday on the bus during our journey to Kuala Lumpur for Big Bad Box Sale at The Mines 2 phewww yesterday was superbly a tiring day for all of us - MADPP students and 2 of our lecturers (Miss Jo and Mr.Ainul). We had fun, and had lots of books too! Okay, enough for the BBBS in KL; I'm looking forward to do a special entry, just to tell all the stories about my experiences being here. Now we moving on to the main point which is the movie review ngee ~

Basically, Jurassic World is a story about two boys named Zach (OMG he's so good-looking haha) and Gray, who are off to an island called Isla Nublar in the Central American as they want to visit Jurrasic World - a large size of dinasour theme park - that has been handled by their aunt, Clarie, who has been assigned as the operation manager of the theme park. The story begins to expand throughout the journey of those boys that are struggling to run away from the creepy hybrid dinasour : Indominus Rex. That dinasour is so intelligence as he could resemble anything around him in order to hunt for food and kill people (T.T). Clarie and his boyfriend named  Owen are on a mission to save Claire's nephews from being the victims of that monster. I love to see the Raptors in the movie which each of them are named as Delta, Blue, Charlie and OMG I forget the last one's name huhu sorry guys. The ending is quite exciting as Claire ends up asking her assistant in the control room to open the Paddock 9 - the paddock where T.Rex is livingggggg in XD T.Rex is extremely cool and I totally can't deny it! The ending is just okay. Both of the boys get united with their parents and Claire and Owen are together. So, the main characters are safe!

My most favorite part in this movie is when the T.Rex has been released to battle with the Indominus Rex as Gray once mentions to her aunt that they need more teeth in order to fight with the Indominus Rex. After Claire releasing the T.Rex, the real war begin between both of them while accompanied by little helps from the cute raptors ha-ha. The battle is really cool as both of the Rex are extremely and incredibly big and powerful. They fought each other and at last, the one and the only surviving raptor comes in and help T.Rex out. Hoora-hoorey! They cooperate with each other to drag Indominus Rex into the lagoon and yeah, finally the creepy rex is dead, being eaten by the Mosasaurus; I can say it as a fish dinasour hahaha.

To sum it up, I do love this movie and I'm gonna rate it - 4/5 hahaha lol I enjoyed watching it, even though on the bas and my head slightly looked up to watch it on the TV but overall it was fun!

Here's a new word that I learnt from the movie.

1) Camouflage (n) ; the disguising of military personnel, equipment, and installations by painting or covering them to make them blend in with their surroundings.
on the trenches were pieces of turf, which served for camouflage
(v) ; hide or disguise the presence of (a person, animal, or object) by means of camouflage.
the war area had to be camouflaged with mud

That's all for today. Have fun reading :p

MOVIE REVIEW : Love, Rosie.

Hello and a very good evening I bid to all my dearest readers.

Today I'm gonna add one more entry which is a movie review based on the movie that I had watched before entitled - Love, Rosie. This movie actually had been adapted from one of my favorite writer's novel- "Where Rainbows End by Cecelia Ahern".



        Starring Lily Collins- one of the prettiest girl I ever seen- as Rosie and also Sam Cliflin- one of my favorite Hollywood actor- as Alex, this movie is generally about the conflict between Rosie and Alex in expressing their feelings to each other.

        The movie started when Rosie attended a wedding and she was requested to give some speeches on that day, then flashed back to reveal the lifelong friendship she was shared with  Alex. The two had been inseparable since they were 5 years old; then at Rosie’s 18th birthday, they briefly (and drunkenly) kissed after too many tequila shots. To be short, on the prom night, both of them were having different prom date and Rosie romped with her thoughtless, pretty-boy prom date and winded up pregnant after a condom mishap. After a while, Alex had been offered to further in medicine in Boston and he had once promised Rosie that both of them gonna get to study in Boston- which is their dream country. Rosie had sent off Alex to Boston at the airport and promised him to go to Boston soon too. She gave him a false hope and excuse because she didn't want Alex to know about her pregnancy. Her prom date was nowhere to find. Then, the story grew fast as Rosie gave birth to her pretty daughter. Alex was busy studying medicine in Boston- even though there aren't any parts in the movie that showed Alex was studying medicine there- while Rosie was busy changing diapers. (There's still a lot of things I wanna write about the synopsis and the plot but I don't wanna write any more longer because I don't want to make this review more longer than it should be ha-ha)

          I like this movie because its story line is quite interesting and easy to be understand. In addition, it's a story about a sweet but complicated love story between Rosie and Alex that are actually expanding and getting more interesting as you are reaching the climax of the movie.


          The moral value that I could get from watching this movie is, if you feel like liking somebody or having any special feelings for somebody, do tell him about yours before it's getting late and getting more complicated- like what I had watched from this movie, Rosie had experienced a lot of difficulties before she got to be with the man that she loved. There's no false in expressing your feelings toward someone that you like but do remember that you should not put any hopes that she or he might the same feelings as yours. Yay! Hahaha it's just my opinion okay, don't get me wrong. 

    
         In conclusion, I do enjoy watching Love, Rosie and I do recommend it to you guys (for those who still not watching this), and I could rate this movie 3.5/5 stars yeppieee ~

Happy reading and happy watching!


xoxo,

3rd MAY 2016 - new life began

Hollaa everyone.

So this is my first entry for my new blog - I already have one but it is too shameful to be seen by all of my friends and lecturers.

I registered for MADPP in KKTM Lenggong in Perak on 3rd May 2016 and that was the most biggest decision I ever made throughout my 18 years of living on Earth - I guess. Hmm, nothing much I could say for now but what I could describe my journey for almost 2 weeks here is EXUBERANCE.

I met a lot of new friends here instead of having to face the same faces for about 5 years before this ha-ha. I love to befriend with them and till now, I have no problems with my roomates, classmates and lecturers. They are so supportive and sporting - I totally love them all <3

Okay, I don't wanna gibberish more like what I had done in my other blog. This is the blog for my MADPP assignment (one of the assignments perhaps lol not the only one actually) and I need to be serious with this one, yeah, really need to be serious. My friends and my lecturers (especially Miss Jo) would possibly read this and I'm dead if I'm not doing my best on it.

That's all for today. More entries coming soon. Movie reviews and book reviews are on their way here. Stay tuned!

xoxo,
Iffah
