MOVIE REVIEW - "MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS"

When I cannot travel during the school holiday, I would have to find other source to entertain myself. This was one movie I managed to watch last week at MBO KSL Mall, and at the same time, I had to redeem the points accumulated from my member card. [READ: Free]

Adapted from the novel of the same title by Agatha Christie, this should be a drama when a Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, tried to solve a murder case on the train "The Orient Express" through deduction. There were many speaking scenes, which younger generation would not like but I found listening to the dialogues was really amusing as one had to get all the information (to solve the case) from all the interviews done.

For once, this was a movie I enjoyed watching without being distracted by all the CGI effects throughout. And there were big names starring, like Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer and Penelope Cruz. I am now thinking of getting the novel to read.

MOVIE REVIEW - "MORTDECAI"

This should be a fun movie to watch but I found there were just too many talking scenes to digest. Mortdecai as the main character who had an obsession with his newly grown moustache despite his wife's objection. He was on a mission to find a stolen painting, hence the adventure he had to go through. Seriously, that was all the plot.  Johnny Depp's acting was brilliant though - you wouldn't believe it was him on screen. That was one reason I went to watch as I wanted to see "unpirated" Depp.

The movie was rated not suitable for viewers under 18 but surprisingly there was nothing exciting to see, except for a few scenes with bad jokes and that was all. Unfortunately, this was a movie that will be easily forgotten and sorry Irham, you had to tag along. Maybe we should go out one more time before you fly back to Medan. :)
