I never liked locally produced Malaysian movies simply for the fact that they’re rubbish of the highest order without any substance, except for the late Yasmin Ahmad though I think some of her movies were overrated. Khairil Bahar who wrote and directed it made the flow understandable in...
Homeland (TV Series) Season 1 Review
posted by Gallivanter
It didn’t take long for me to be glued to this underrated series, which is seemed to be making airwaves among critics more than the public. I’m no fan of Claire Danes but she’s acting out of her skin in this thriller of a show. Homeland is a drama/thriller series developed...
We Bought a Zoo (Movie Review)
posted by Gallivanter
I always had a very soft spot for movies that touches on the theme of the death of a loved one. However, I was skeptical about it as I disliked Matt Damon. However, he kind of proved himself to me with this flick, at some point I was thinking to myself that even Jon Bon Jovi could’ve...
Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol (Movie Review)
posted by Gallivanter
I think this movie could arguably be the best of the Mission Impossible movies. Personally, I prefer the 3rd installment with Philip Seymour Hoffman played a starring role as the baddie. There’s some humor in the form of Simon Pegg and lots of over the top action sequences, with the one...
New Year’s Eve (Movie Review)
posted by Gallivanter
The movie lack substance simply because they assembled one too many stars with one too many vignettes. Just how many celebrities can you cram in a movie? How about - James Belushi, Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, Jon Bon Jovi, Ludacris, Robert De Niro, Josh Duhamel, Zac Efron, Carla...
The Help (Movie Review)
posted by Gallivanter
I rarely review movies, only if it’s really good. Like this one, “The Help”. I never thought highly of Emma Stone like Jim Carrey does but that all changed a little when I saw her in “Easy A”, which was a good movie. This movie, set in the 1960s when racism is...
Community Season 2 Review
posted by Gallivanter
Now this is how you develop characters while sticking to the game plan of Season 1! This TV series in my opinion is better than Modern Family for its dig at pop culture references and uses lots of cliches and worn-out stories to show what makes pop culture pathetic. It’s not as basic as...
House Season 7 Review
posted by Gallivanter
Finally, after 7 seasons, we see House and Cuddy having a relationship after all these years of teasing each other. However, after a while, you will get bored of their relationship as it ends up being too serious and kills the witty remarks shared between them prior the relationship. I guess...
Community (TV Series) Season 1 Review
posted by Gallivanter
I started to watch this after been trying to find new TV shows to follow. I no longer buy movie DVDs (well, hardly.) and rather spend cash on TV shows. I read reviews online via my favorite critic site, Metacritic, a website that compiles and averages ratings of movies, music, books and TV and...
Game of Thrones (TV Series) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Unlike Rome (which I though was the best so far), and Spartacus (violence and sex galore), it took me 5 episodes to warm up to Game of Thrones. In fact, I kept falling asleep during the first 5 episodes and wondered why I put myself through this. However, I expected it to pick up but did not...
Mark Salling – Pipe Dreams (Mp3 Download) Album Review
posted by Gallivanter
If you don’t know who Mark Salling, take a look at Glee, or the photo below will give you a very obvious hint. I listened to the “Pipe Dreams” album and there’s nothing too interested about it as it seems like he’s trying to cash in on his fame with...
Alicia Keys – The Element Of Freedom (Album Review)
posted by Gallivanter
Alicia Keys is in suppuration process. “The Elements of Freedom” plays up her ripeness as an artist. Although the song elements have little commercial attraction to please the masses, there are some poignant tracks that is grappling to the matters of the heart. She stays true to...
