Movies vs Real Life

Ever watched a movie and thought to yourself.
"Man this wouldn't happen in real life"
That's what we all think all the time.

Our video shows our perspective of how a scene would really take place in real life. In this case its a parody of the Phone Booth scene in "Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol" 2011.





As a group, we discussed on what our vlog would be about. The first idea that came to mind was just the five of us sitting in a room talking about either our favourite movie or review a movie but that wouldn't of been very entertaining.
So we decided to parody a scene from a movie and give our perspective of what would really happen in that scene if it were to happen in real life.

We each had a different part in planning the video. It took us a couple of days to come up with an idea. So Kam and Ria went location scouting to find a empty area similar to the scene in the movie but we couldnt find a phone booth in an isolated area.
Mushtaqali, Olivia and Khenn took some time to plan and storyboard ideas so it would be easier to film.

The camera work was done by Khenn and Olivia using an iPhone 6S
Mushtaqali played the role of  Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise)
Kam and Ria played the role of "Agent Dunn and Agent Carter"
Khenn and Olivia made their "director cameo appearance" in the real life segment.

The video was edited by Khenn with his experience in film making and videography.

We hope you enjoyed reading our blog and our video

Dont breathe is a thriller movie and its about there are few kids they wanted money so badly wif their own reasons. So they always go and rob other's house and something. One time they did the robbing as usual but this time the house owner was a well-trained soldier but he was blind. However, he could also killed one of the kids and he kept searching for the rest but they were trying to escape. This movie is kinda intense and excited to watch. However the ending was kinda easy to guess and its too predictable.However its good to watch if you are bored.
Rating :6.5/10

It is impossible to talk about Stranger Things, the eight-episodes Netflix sci-fi drama series released last month, without talking about all the 80's references, such as the J.J. Abrams film Super 8, Stanger Things is an homage to all things Spielbergian broken families, kids having secret adventures on bikes, supernatural beings, government consiparies, heartfelt endings.
the story focuses on the mysterious disappearance of a young boy named Will, the search effort that ensues (led by his mother, played by Winona Ryder), and the arrival of an odd young girl with stranger powers. in the hands of its directors, the Duffer Brothers, Stranger Things is turns out touching the it explores teenage love and friendship and harrowing when it follows the creature that turns out to be terrorising the town.
in the first season of Stranger Things, we all can know that on November 6, 1983 in the small town of Hawkins, Indiana, 12 years old Will Byers vanishes mysteriously. Will's mother, Joyce, becomes frantic and tries to find Will while Police Chief Jim Hopper begins investigating, and so do Will's friends; Dustin, Mike, and Lucas. the very next day, a psychokinetic girl named Eleven knowing Will's whereabouts is found by the boys. as they uncover the truth, a sinister government agency tries to cover it up, while a more insidious force lurks just below the surface.

based on personal experience, you can't stop watch this movie once you started. So, i highly recommend you guys to watch this film. Just click here to find out the reason why you SHOULD watch this movie series
i personally will give this movie series a 9.5/10
Looking forward for the season 2 which will released in 2017!!

Nerve



Note : a quick piece advise to anyone planning to watch: don't watch the trailers above, as they pretty much spoil the entire flick.

"Nerve" is a lot like high school: The jocks and pretty people have all the fun before eventually being bailed out of trouble by the nerds who were ceremoniously not included. The nerd in question is here Tommy (Miles Heizer), a computer guy who pines leading lady Vee Delmonico (Emma Roberts). Vee is blonde, beautiful and has just been accepted into CalArts. There's no way in cinematic hell-or actual Hell-that she'd wind up in Tommy's arms. Yet it's Tommy to the rescue when Vee gets herself involved in a sinister smartphone game whose online ringmaster sounds suspiciously like Stephen Hawking

After i watched this movie, it reminds me of another Dave Franco movie, Now You See Me from 2013. It was a low budget movie that came out of nowhere and actually ended up surprising a lot of people. Just like that movie, Nerve isn't perfect. The ending is rushed, and the more you think about it, the less sense it makes. But overall the flick is very entertaining, the cast is great, and it's a fun watch to everyone

I was thinking to give this movie 8 out of 10. But my eyes... they didn't even blink when I saw Dave Franco there.
I mean.... Look at those smile

So, i ended up give this movie 9/10.

Dragonball: Evolution??????????

Say again?
Dragonball: Evolution (2009)
Yeah that's right, that live action movie that turned out to be horrible.
Let me explain why.

Seems interesting right?
Well yes it is because this movie is based off my all time favourite anime "Dragon Ball Z".
I was about 11 years old when I watched this movie and back then I was just in it for the action.
But now as a videographer myself, I see why this was one of the worst rated movies of the time.
I could write so many things about what made this movie bad.
But first!
The Positives:
  1. Jamie Chung!<33333333333333333 (The actress who played Chi Chi in the movie)
Alright now to the negatives
  1. The story was all over the place: The synopsis above is basically what the movie is about however, there are plot holes everywhere. The story didnt make sense and there was no lead up to the main point of the story. 
  2. Character development: There was no character development whatsoever  other than Goku (the main character). But everyone else was thrown in to the movie and expected the audience to know who they were. 
  3. Usually I dont consider CGI when reviewing movies but oh my the CGI!
    For a movie that was released in 2009 id expect the CG to be somewhat believable.
    Example: Dragon Ball Evolution (2009) vs Transformers (2007)





Final Verdict:
2/10 :) :) :):) :)

Fast and furious movie review

Hello everyone. Its Zac here doing the movie review.
 Image result for fast and furious
 To be honest i am a huge fan of cars. I like cars a lot. Therefore,I just watched this movie few days ago and its awesome. The story is about an undercover try to catch or you can say destroy the illegal racing activities. I pretty enjoy watching this movie cause there are tons of cars in the movie and i like the way they modified it and its so fabulous. Especially, the green one on the poster mitsubishi eclipse thats nice. I recommand this movie to those car lovers to watch. You will feel excited when your watching this.







Rating: 8/10

Descendants of the Sun

Do you consider yourself as a K-Poppers ?

Well, this move is the one you don't wanna missed



"Descendants of The Sun"

This movie originated from South Korea directed by Lee Eung-bok Baek Sang-hoon and starring Song Joong-ki, Song Hye-kyo, Jin Goo and Kim Ji-won
well, it took me a while to write those name...

As you guys can see, i wasn't familiar with all the k-drama things until one time I discovered a short clips from this movie on Facebook which got my attention and had me interested to watch the rest of it.

This movie is about a love story develops between Captain Yoo Shi Jin (Song Joong-ki) from South Korean Special Forces and Doctor Kang Mo Yeon (Song Hye-kyo), who works as a Surgeon at Haesung Hospital in Seoul. They will find themselves in the middle of great events and deadly dangers, both in their Motherland and in the fictitious, war-torn country of Urk (Uruk).

This was the first k-drama I watched in my entire life and I am not regretting it even though I had a sleepless night trying to catch up with the episodes but I love every episodes of it.






This is one of the funniest episode from the movie.
I hope there'll be a season 2 of this movie.

Rating:  11 out of 10 :p
