Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald @ FB Movie 怪兽与葛林戴华德的罪行

This is one of the most anticipated movies this year and it did not disappoint. J. K. Rowling world of magic made a comeback long after the Harry Potter series and it's just as glorious.

有一句话，我个人很喜欢 -- “哈利波特已经完结了，但魔法世界还在继续。”。是的，JK这一次用电影把我们带进那个熟悉又陌生的魔法世界中。
怪兽（简称FB）电影系列将会有五部曲，而现在只出到了第二部，离它完结还长呢~

Rise: Ini Kalilah @ Malaysia Movie 变天

I was lucky enough to win a pair of tickets to the movie 'Rise: Ini Kalilah' from GSC. Coincidentally, Chin Yee was in town so I asked her to accompany me. Honestly, I have not watched much Malaysian movies, at least not as much as Hollywood movies.

就在几天前，倩雯从GSC电影院的FB主页赢得了两张《变天》的全球首映礼入场券。正巧我在那天上去了KL，她就拉着我一起去看了。
顺带一提，我看过的本土电影是很少很少的，更别说是本土的非华语电影（华语电影=电影对白以全华语/华人方言来演绎）。

Ready Player One @ Movie 一級玩家

When this movie's trailer was out, I was intrigued. At first, Chin Yee didn't want to go but ultimately, we both watched it albeit a few weeks late.

The premise of the movie is that it is set in the future, when people spend most of their time in an online world. This is something that I can see happening in the future since we are already glued to our phone now. The movie has action, romance, and comedy.

这是一部我没有想要去看的电影，但倩雯有两张免费的戏票，所以就ok了。电影的背景设定在几十年后的未来，那时候的VR已经非常普遍，人人都负担得起。

The Greatest Showman @ Movie 大娱乐家

I love musicals  and when I saw the trailer, I was super excited! Honestly, the trailer was not great but the fact that Hugh Jackman and Zac Effron were in it totally sold me the movie. Before I watched the movie, I have been playing the soundtrack on repeat for weeks. So I knew all the songs when I finally went to watch it.

是不是觉得我们看了很多歌舞片呢？是的，歌舞片是少数我和倩雯都爱看的电影题材。
这部电影上映之前，倩雯说了一定要看。她很早就看了，而我因为工作的关系，就拖到现在才看。

Jumanji: Welcome to The Jungle @ Movie 野蛮游戏：疯狂丛林

This is a reboot/sequel to my childhood nostalgia so I was worried when they announced the movie. As I have mentioned in my previous post, the movie using the name Jumanji has already set itself up for comparison to the 1995 version, which is a classic with an amazing performance from Robin Williams. I think I have sufficiently talk about the 995 version to death, so let's start this review already!

如果你的童年是在这部电影的前作中度过的话，那么这部续集是必看不可了。当年的野蛮游戏不只是在我心里留下痕迹，里面的剧情也让很多当年的同龄人留下阴影，因为感觉身边随时都会发生这些事情。

这是一部续集，我想也是一部延续我们未完的梦的一部电影。

Jumanji (1995) @ Movie 野蛮游戏 1995

Before we get to see the new Jumanji movie, we decided to revisit our childhood version of Jumanji. Honestly, I don't think anything can top Robin William's Jumanji. The trailer of the new Jumanji shows that it is not a reboot and instead of a board game, it's now a video game. The trailer seems promising but I kind of wished they just did their own movie without using the Jumanji name because it is not a reboot nor is it a continuation of the old movie. They could have just made a new movie and it would have been fine, but by using the Jumanji name, they kind of set themselves up for comparison with the old version. Anyway, I'm not gonna judge the movie before it's out.

如果要我列出童年里最喜欢的电影，这部一定在前几名里。就算到了20年后的今天，我还是对它印象非常深刻。这部电影的剧情超乎了我的想象，让幼小的我很惊叹当中的剧情发展。如今，野蛮游戏以另一种方式重回世上了。
这次的电影是否还能给我同样的感动呢？在新电影上映之前，就让我们来回温一下1995年的野蛮游戏吧~

Murder on the Orient Express @ Movie 东方快车谋杀案

I would like to begin by saying that I was hyped for this movie because I knew about the book. I actually have the book but never got around to reading it. Okay, that's a lie. After I found out the movie is coming out, I tried reading it. I only read the beginning before getting distracted by other stuff.  Anyway, I know that the book is about a detective. I love watching movies about a detective solving crime so I was excited to watch the movie.

我很喜欢看侦探小说，除了剧情紧凑之外，我也享受案件背后的真相。如果小说里的侦探非常有特色的话，我就更加喜欢了。
这部电影改编自非常著名的侦探小说之一，我相信很多喜欢阅读的人都会知道甚至读过这部小说。顺便说说，我个人是没看过，虽然我很喜欢侦探小说，不过西方的侦探小说比较少读到。这部小说已经被翻拍很多次了，可见它的知名度是一等一的。既然我没看过小说，因此我可以很客观的只是说说电影带给我的感觉。

Kingsman: The Golden Circle @ Action Movie 王牌特工2: 黄金圈

Hello, friends! Today we are going to review Kingsman: The Golden Circle, which is the sequel to the Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015). FYI, there will be spoiler so if you don’t want us to spoil it, please leave and come back after you have watched the movie. Be warned! 

动作电影一直以来都是倩雯的最爱，我对它的喜爱就只是还好。如果要说原因，可能是因为它的剧情发展都是预料之内，我喜欢比较动脑或预想外的发展的电影。

Bad Genius @ Thai Movie 模范生/鬼才

I'm not actually a fan of Thai movies. I love their advertisements but I don't get their movies. Although to be fair, most of the Thai movies I've watched were horror movies. Most were not as scary as I expected them to be. Once, I remember watching a movie expecting it to be scary and I ended up laughing a lot.

Chin Yee was intrigued by the trailer and asked me to watch it so we can review it. After watching the trailer, I was still not interested. However, after finding out that it scored a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, I was intrigued (This was before I found out the formula rating for Rotten Tomatoes. Let's just say it's not very impressive after I found out the rating system).

说起泰国电影，很多人都会想到鬼片。这无可否认，泰国鬼片的确是闻名世界的。但最近这几年，泰国的小清新电影慢慢受到了关注，从《初恋这件小事》开始，我就开始注意泰国的非恐怖电影。

我陆陆续续看了很多泰国的爱情喜剧，也很推荐大家去看。直到这一部电影，我对泰国所出品的电影更加敬佩了。

The Mummy (1999): A comparison review with The Mummy (2017) 神鬼传奇(1999)：与新神鬼传奇的比照

Since we were so disappointed with the reboot of The Mummy (2017), we decided to wipe the slate clean and rewatch the one we grew up with. The one that I actually enjoyed and had a lot of fun watching, which was The Mummy (1999) starring Brendan Fraser…and yes, I know this was also a reboot but I grew up with  this one and I like it so bugger off.

虽然我们应该用新的角度眼光来看一部新电影，但对于新版的《神鬼传奇》，很抱歉我们做不到。那部新电影真的太让我们震惊了，为了压压惊，我们找出了我们心目中的经典 - 1999年的《神鬼传奇》系列的第一部来重温。

Too Late To Love Short Film Fans Meet + Screening 《来不及的爱》媒体粉丝见面会

We got invited to go to 'Too Late To Love' short film fans meet and screening at Freeport A'Famosa Outlet. You might not know this but my Chinese movie exposure is quite limited. When we got invited for this event, I did not know the director, actors or the special guest attending this shindig.

今天，我和倩雯被受邀来到《来不及的爱》媒体粉丝见面会。这是一部由马来西亚导演所执导的微电影。
这部微电影也在美国加州荣获两座奖项。

The Mummy @ Dark Universe Movie 神鬼傳奇/新木乃伊

To be honest, there was a lot of articles and interviews going on about this movie and how Tom Cruise actually did the zero gravity for real. Before watching the movie, I saw the trailer and thought it was decent. In theory, the basis for this movie and the idea of a cinematic universe of monsters sounds awesome. So now let's move on to the actual execution of the idea, The Mummy as the beginning of said universe.

我对于这部电影一无所知，甚至连预告也没看过。而且，我对于木乃伊的印象还停留在很多年前的电影上。因为倩雯很喜欢看这类型的电影，所以我和另一个朋友也就跟她一起去看了。

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 @ Superhero Movie 银河守护队2

It's a Marvel film so of course I had to watch it on the big screen. This movie got me so hyped that I watched it the day after my Japan trip and without Chin Yee. We decided to watch it separately and write the review.

这部电影的第一集得到了空前绝后的成功，使得这一集还未上映就已经被所有人关注。
作为第二集，有很多电影都做得并不是很成功，往往会使人有点失望。
我对于这部电影也有很多的期待，更是在上映的第二天就去看了。

Beauty and the Beast @ Disney Movie 美女与野兽

I personally grew up on Disney,  so when they announced a reboot, I was kind of iffy about it.  This is mostly because the idea of rebooting a classic is super dangerous,  I mean... How do you top a classic? Plus the recent trend of rebooting classics are not all successful, case in point - Ghostbusters reboot. Anyhoo...I went to watch the movie with Chin Yee and I have to say it was a well-made movie, although I can't stop comparing it to the original.

我相信大多人的童年都会有迪士尼卡通的陪伴，甚至成年后，都还是不会舍弃他们公司出品的卡通。
公主系列的卡通更是他们的主打，从需要被王子拯救的公主到喜爱冒险的公主，形形色色的公主角色都影响着每一代的小孩。

Kolya @ Czech Movie 游子/爱在布拉格

GSC held a Czech Republic Film Festival and of course being a movie lover and lover of free stuff, I had to go. As usual, I dragged Chin Yee along and we watched two movies. One of the movies is called Kolya.

最近，GSC上映了多部免费的捷克电影，主要是为了推广捷克这个国家的文化，电影是个很好及直接的方式。
如我所说的，我一直都很希望能够接触更多异国电影，所以这次时间上和朋友间的配合，我终于有机会观赏这部得到奥斯卡金像奖的捷克电影-- 《游子》，又译《爱在布拉格》。

Last Cab to Darwin @ Australia Movie 最後的士達爾文

I got free screening passes for the movie Last Cab to Darwin and asked Chin Yee if she wanted to go. Honestly, I know nothing about the movie nor the cast. Now, I will enlighten you the summary of the movie so you know what the movie is mainly about.

如果不是因为倩雯得到免费的戏票，我想我这辈子都不会去看这部电影，这类型的电影并不是我的首选或选择。
但，我一直都很想接触更多异国电影，所以也没多抗拒就去看了。

The Lego Batman Movie @ Superhero Movie 乐高蝙蝠侠大电影

After I have fulfilled my part of the bargain, Chin Yee accompanied to watch The Lego Batman Movie. As usual, this review will have spoilers, if you do not want spoilers, please leave now.

我对于超级英雄的电影都不是很感兴趣，所以这部电影是不会在我的清单里的(虽然它是卡通)。
但是倩雯昨晚已经陪了我看我想看的歌舞片，所以这就当作是陪她去看咯...

52Hz I Love You @ Musical Movie 52赫兹我爱你

This was a movie I am not really interested because I normally don't watch Chinese movies much, but Chin Yee insisted so we made a deal. I would go to this and she would watch Lego Batman with me.nBefore you continue reading this, please be aware there will be spoilers.

这部电影是我拉着倩雯去看的。
因为她喜欢歌舞片，所以我就想着要不要拉她一起去看。
为此，我们就达成了一个协议，那就是她陪我看这部电影，然后我陪她看她想看的。

La La Land @ Musical Movie 爱乐之城/樂來越愛你

I only found out about this movie a few weeks before it released thanks to the Internet.  I know it's a musical, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are in it.  I also saw a poster of them dancing under the stars but that's the extent of my knowledge about the movie. One of the reasons I really wanted to watch this movie is because it is a musical and I have a thing for movies where people who burst out in songs and dance. In fact,  life would be real cool if we live like that.

Chin Yee and I went to a cinema nearby to watch it. I was super hyped but alas I was kind of disappointed. I know a lot of people are singing praises and absolutely love the movie, which makes me one of the few rare people who actually dislike it. If you are reading this, please know that there might be some spoilers. If you have not watched the movie and do not want it to be spoiled, stop reading now.

音乐电影一直以来都是倩雯很喜欢的电影类型之一，我个人是不讨厌，也看了很多部中文音乐电影。但对于这部电影，我并没有抱着很多的期待，因为我根本就不知道这部电影的存在或看过任何预告。

倩雯在知道大马会上映这部电影的时候，就一直很兴奋的说一定要去看。所以，我就很顺手地被她拉来一起看了。
