Transformers One

 Make me miss the old Cybertron games for the pc











What is it about?
The origin of Optimus Prime and Megatron before they became who they were meant to be

The Good
The story is amazing. It is true to the Transformers lore
It is 30% funny (Bumblebee has the best lines) which is great
The evolution from friends to being enemies is great to watch 

The Bad
Nothing much this movie is perfect. I just wished that they used some of the classic music and sound from old Transformers shows

The Ugly
Nothing

After Credits: 2 Scenes

Verdict: One of the best Transformers movie. A must watch.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters

Part of the Godzilla universe 










What is it about: A show about the secret organisation Monarch that monitors all monster activity all over the world. The series spans over 80 years and the cool part is both father and son are playing the same characters

Its so dark: As in some places is just to dark. I think they do that to save on special effects but it makes of very terrible viewing

Family drama: The family drama is the main crux of the story. Basically it follows the Randa family and how it ties everything to Monarch 

Season 2: It has been confirmed but they added a new character in the mix. So I don't know what is going to happen since the story is pretty much wrapped

Die Hart 2 Die Harter

This movie is dumb for all the wrong reasons 











What is it about?
Kevin Hart wants to make a movie where the action is not scripted

The Good
The comedy does hit when ti does
Ben Schwartz is carrying the movie 

The Bad
The plot is so dumb. Really this movie skimp on the writing. 
Kevin Hart is really not as funny as you think

The Ugly
The ending sucks and also doesn't make sense. 

After Credits: No

Verdict: Avoid watching, this movie isn't that great

La Brea Season 3

It is a good thing that the story is finished. 

















Cancelled: This show was already cancelled before they started but it was nice of the network to allow them to wrap up the story which was very confusing 

Cutting cost: Since they are working on a tight budget, they had to make some cuts. Gone was the big crash site. Most of the key actors from the previous two season were not present (but were there on the finale) 

The story: The story is so confusing that it doesn't make that much sense on what they are telling. Time travel stories are usually weird that way 

Ending: Everyone got their happy ending which is a win in my book even if the story end in the end was just ok

Week 40 - The Perfect Week

Do you know sometimes when you have nothing going on in your life and everything is just smooth sailing. So that is what happened to me this week. Life was kind to me. Nothing much out of the ordinary happen. Everyone just got on with their lives. This is a rare occason and I love cherishing this kind of week

Sept 29 • Today mama brought us a fancy restaurant that serve local malaysian food. The food was good and the prices was quite high. • My best friend is quitting their job tomorrow. Read their resignation letter. I'm really worried since they are not that frugal. So we will see what will happen next

Sept 30
• First day of eveything. H2 as usual has school. H1 and wife have uni. My day today consist of going back and fourth from uni to school. I think I went there at least 5 times today.
• Made some beef stew with garlic bread
• My friend choose not to talk to me. I think I need to stop hanging on to them that much. Really, in my mind I am their friend but they are not mine. They will need me when it is important to them and I think I need to understand that I am just a friend of convience. So just sit down and shut up

September is over and we have 3 more months left till next year. I can say this month has been a good month. Nothing to bad happened and everything was manageable. October is going to be another busy month for me. Let's see how I navigate this without any major problems

Oct 1
• The Perfect Day. A rare occurance where everything happened as the way it should
• Went to take out kids money to pay some fees.
• Had some dim sum with wife. Met my niece at the mall.
• Got a hour on the bike. Made some dinner for the girls.
• Slept super early which is a plus in my book.

Oct 2
• Father in law came.
• I need to learn how to budget my cooking. So today going to be better.

Oct 3

• Made some Arayes - Lebanese fried stuffed meat in pita bread

Oct 4

• The new neighbours experince a generator malfunction which cause the whole section in front of my house to experince blackout. As a result. They have to bring 3 portable generators to power the whole half section of neighbourhood until they figure out the problem. It didn't help due to the rain.

Oct 5

• Made some homemade burgers
• The finally fix the problem after 30 hours
• Brought the girls to watch Transformers One. Great movie.

Next week there is nothing on the horizon. Basically once everyone is busy usually life takes a backseat. I want to see if I can finish the Plucky Squire next week. But it requires an hour of my time. I'll see if I have the time

Rebel Ridge

Its like what if John Wick was black


















What is it about?
A stranger needing to bail out his cousin has gotten into trouble with local police. Little do they know. He is not your average person 

The Good
The action is realistic. They interviewed the director and said they wanted to make the action as believable as possible 
The story is simple and yet it will leave you hanging due to the action 

The Bad
The final fight scene was quite fast. I was expecting more. 
Too much B roll on stuff why did it happen. 

The Ugly 
I wish it was more. 

After Credits: No 

Verdict: Awesome movie. I think I can see a sequel if netflix pick it up

The West Wing Season 4

 I think this is where the season peak 










Whats going on this season: Running for relection, Sam got regulated to be a senator

Goodbye Sam: Well in real life it was always about pay so they made a story where he is running for a senator for California. I kinda miss Sam. I like how he talked and only getting him like 13 episodes sucked

Hello Will: Will is the speech guy. He is a bit better but doesn't have the same spark as Sam. But I think he doesn't mind he role in the white house 

Ending: The ending with a major cliffhanger and a new president. That was scary.
