My Movie Review: The movie is adrenaline-pumping flick that make every seconds count. It is back better than the first one for sure but still doesn't lose the essence of the first film. John Wick: Chapter Two makes it's return most stylish in setting and elegantly violent with more head shots. This movie gets more cooler in the end with the mute girl who challenge Keanu Reeves to a fight in a mirror-like slick set-up and gave us idea on the next chapter!
My Favorite Lines: "Is this a formal event or a social affair? Social. How many buttons? Two And what style? Tactical." "The man, the myth, the legend, John Wick. You’re not very good at retiring. I’m working on it." " You want a war, or you want to just give me a gun? Somebody please get this man a gun!" "You stabbed the devil in the back. To him this isn't vengeance, this is justice." "I'd like to see the manager. How good to see you again so soon, Mr. Wick. Shall I announce you? Yes, please. Mr. Wick is on his way to see you, sir." "Your descent into hell begins here, Mr. Wick. Earl will guide, do be careful on your way down. Oh, and remember, you owe me. You don’t want me owing you." "If John Wick isn’t dead he soon will beats." "Whoever comes, I’ll kill them. I’ll kill them all. Of course you will."

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE-- RAFFLES MRT STATION

My Personal Experience: I went to Singapore Raffles MRT Station last October 4, 2015, together with my sister. We went there to take a ride on the fast lane in exploring the city's business district. Raffles Place is one of things I like in Singapore because of the buildings serve as skyscrapers giving me positive outlook and progress view towards life in general.

Raffles MRT Station

Raffles Place MRT Station (NS26/EW14) is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the North South Line and the East West Line, and serves as an interchange station between the two lines. It is one of the more prominent and busier stations within the transport system, especially being an interchange station located within the Central Area. The station has a large number of entrances/exits, the two main ones facing the Raffles Gardens, with the building by a miniature facade of the historic John Little building.

My Movie Review: The movie is a visual treat when it comes to the arrows and monsters. The Great Wall is a typical blockbuster that you will enjoy for sure just with Chinese touch. From the colorful costume to the gathering of monstrous creatures make a big impression. Matt Damon looks good in a weird hairdo and the rest of the cast looks ravishing too but come to think of it there's no much soul and no character to root for its all about the looks!

More Description: The Great Wall is a fantasy action-adventure directed by Zhang Yimou which tells the story of an elite force making a valiant stand for humanity on the world’s most iconic structure. The first English-language production for Yimou is the largest film ever shot entirely in China. When a mercenary warrior (Matt Damon) is imprisoned within the Great Wall, he discovers the mystery behind one of the greatest wonders of the world. As wave after wave his quest for fortune turns into a journey toward heroism as he joins a huge army of elite warriors to confront the unimaginable and seeming unstoppable forces.

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE--- LAU PA SAT

My Personal Experience: I went to Singapore Lau Pa Sat last October 4, 2015, together with my sister. We went there to find something to eat but I can't remember if we had just more pictures on the table. Lau Pa Sat is perfectly place at the business district of Raffles where office workers can dine-in and dine-out during lunch or dinner break lot of choices!!

Lau Pa Sat

The grande dame of markets in Singapore, Lau Pa Sat blends history, striking architecture and scrumptious local food into one heady experience. Built in the 19th century, Lau Pa Sat or Telok Ayer Market has long dominated the local landscape with striking presence. A true Singapore landmark, it was gazetted as a national monument in 1973. Situated in the heart of the financial district, the market’s octagonal shape and ornamental columns were first conceived by British architect George Coleman, who designed Old Parliament House.

My Movie Review: The movie is shocking didn't expect that more skin action will be seen. Fifty Shades Darker must focus more on the relationship not with the visuals on how wild and rough they make love. This too revealing for me I want more content on the festivities! Dakota Johnson is the most daring actress as she was exposed on the naked scenes but still manage to be innocent looking. Jaime Dornan as Christian Grey is still dominant yet became submissive when confess love to Anastasia Steele so giving us the wedding feels!
My Favorite Character: Anastasia Steele

Anastasia "Ana" Rose Steele  is the female protagonist of the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. She is the primary love interest of Christian Grey, with whom she finds true love. After the disastrous end of her relationship with Christian, Ana is heartbroken by her decision to leave Christian. Christian and Ana are unable to deny their feelings for each other, and the two reunite. Ana begins working at Seattle Independent Publishing as a personal assistant to Jack Hyde. Christian secretly purchases the company, much to Ana's chagrin.

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE-- CAVENAGH BRIDGE

My Personal Experience: I went to Singapore Cavenagh Bridge last October 4, 2015, together with my sister. We went there to get the amazing view and take rest on the edge! While on the bridge we've bought some ice cream on a bread and it was fun to try new that's why I'm eating like it a sandwich. I'm tourist on the loose in front The Fullerton Hotel.

Cavenagh Bridge

Originally known as the Edinburgh Bridge to commemorate the visit of Duke of Edinburgh, its name was changed to Cavenagh Bridge in honour of Major General William Orfeur Cavenagh, the last India-appointed Governor of the Straits Settlements. Cavenagh Bridge is the only suspension bridge and one of the oldest bridges in Singapore, spanning the lower reaches of the Singapore River in the Downtown. Opened in 1870 to Singapore's new Crown colony status, it is the oldest bridge in Singapore that exists in its original form.

My Movie Review: The movie is suspenseful tale that give you clever look to one's mind. M.Night Shyamalan is it behind the twists master of directing and writing new found horror. Split marks his successful comeback through the critics and on blockbuster phenomenon. James McAvoy throws himself into multiple parts that show the essence of being an actor. This is a must-see surprisingly hit with smart plotting and fine performance of all the stars!!
My Favorite Lines: "My name's Hedwig. How old are you? Nine..Someone's coming for you! Who's coming?" "He's done awful things to people and he'll do awful things to you." "Help me get out of here, Hedwig. Are you trying to trick me? I'll tell on you." "An individual with different personalities can change their body chemistry with their thoughts." "You've emailed for an appointment two days in a row. Tell me what's going on. Did something happen?" "I've never seen a case like this before. 23 identities live in Kevin's body." "The only chance we have is if all three of us go crazy on this guy." "What are we doing here? What the hell is going on? I was sent to get you." "Don't worry, he's not allowed to touch you. He knows what your here for... He listens to me." "The broken are the more evolved."

My Movie Review: The movie is extreme packed with action throughout truly pleasurable. The Return Of Xander Cage is what the franchise need with over the top stunts and sport in style they did just like that! The all-star line-up from east to west made it more must-see. Vin Diesel give us what we what- thrilling fast ride even in the ocean and wearing a fur coat looks good on him. Ruby Rose spark with her cool hair and bad-ass looking attitude.
