My Movie Review: The movie is mystery crawling to come out with the mansion's secret and intriguing characters makes it a must-see! Guillermo del Toro's dream horror project is a visual stunner masterpiece giving me great balance of chilling tension and creepiness. Mia Wasikowska fairy like features adds up to the movie that white dress in the winter takes my breath away. Tom Hiddleston change his image from evil Loki to master seducer. Jessica Chastain on other hand steals the spotlight with her deceptive scary performance.
My Favorite Lines: "A house as old as this one becomes in time a living thing." "You have nowhere else to go. This is your home now." "Ghost are real, that much I know. I've seen them all my life." "You are monsters! Both of you! That's exactly what our mother told us in her last moment. "It starts holding onto things keeping them alive when they shouldn't be."

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE W HOTEL ENTRANCE LOBBY

My Personal Experience: I went to W Hotel Entrance Lobby at Sentosa Cove this year July 26, 2015, together with my sisters. We went there to check-in to the hotel and relax to the entrance lounge. There were welcoming drinks and biscuits on the side of the lobby once we've got room I went outside to see the view and enjoy the lavish in style amenities.

My Movie Review: The movie is little bit nice considering the visuals but didn't take off as expected. Don't get my wrong I love this movie since it's about Peter Pan and Levi Miller did a brilliant performance fits him perfectly. I just wish storyline took on high level just like the flying ships felt like great ideas not well executed. Hugh Jackman was effective as a villian Blackbeard while Hook character was mystery becoming the enemy all of a sudden.
My Favorite Character: Peter Pan

Peter Pan is a character created by Scottish novelist and playwright Barrie. A mischievous boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the small island of Neverland as the leader of his gang, the Lost Boys, interacting with mermaids, Native Americans, fairies, pirates and ordinary children from the world outside Neverland.

My Personal Experience: I went to W Hotel Bathroom at Sentosa Cove this year July 26, 2015, together with my sisters. We went there to take selfies on the mirror before going out to have dinner. This is our first night stay so we kind'a excited to see the facilities inside our bedroom and amenities in the bathroom. We got the night cozy but fun at times.

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: THE MARTIAN

Plot: Astronaut Mark Watney is one of the crew members on a manned mission to Mars.

My Movie Review: The movie is impressive in so many levels uplifts the spirit to survive. Matt Damon gave a performance that force to be wreck'in with showing his full potential as an actor. His commitment to the role was commendable losing so much weight to make it more realistic that he was trapped in Mars. The Martian takes us to the incredible journey to make us realized that when everything goes south on you it's you that can make it right.
My Favorite Lines: "Hi, I'm Mark Watney and I'm still alive... obviously." "I'm gonna have to science the shit out of this." "I don't want to come off as arrogant here, but I'm the best botanist on the planet." "They say once you grow crops somewhere, you have officially colonized it. So, technically, I colonized Mars. In your face, Neil Armstrong!" "Every human being has a basic instinct: to help each other out. If a hiker gets lost in the mountains, people will coordinate a search. If a train crashes, people will line up to give blood. If an earthquake levels a city, people all over the world will send emergency supplies. This is so fundamentally human that it's found in every culture without exception. Yes, there are assholes who just don't care, but they're massively outnumbered by the people who do. ~ Mark Watney, The Martian"

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE W HOTEL BEDROOM

My Personal Experience: I went to W Hotel Bedroom at Sentosa Cove this year July 26, 2015, together with my sisters.

My Movie Review: The movie is dark and violent explores the rise of gangster with the help of FBI. It focuses on James Whitey Bulger becoming the biggest criminal in town and godfather of an Irish mob with the help of his friend John Connolly who protected him in getting caught on the crimes committed. Johnny Depp received praises from critics for his performance for being compelling and intense but the story felt short through it's material.

My Favorite Term: Black Mass

A Black Mass is a ritual characterized by the inversion of the Traditional Latin Mass celebrated by the Roman Catholic Church. The history of such rituals is unclear before the modern era. The Black Mass was allegedly celebrated during the Witches' Sabbath. In the modern era for the sole purpose of Satanic worship and sacrifice in ridicule of Christianity.
