Review: Despicable Me

Despicable Me is another favourite animation of mine other than How To Train Your Dragon.

The movie started off with Gru (Steve Carell's voice) being a villain who wants to be the meanest villain around.

However, Vector (voiced by Jason Segel), another villain, is the real culprit behind the existing major theft cases such as stealing the pyramid!

As a result, Gru decided to do something more outrageous instead - steal the moon! In order to do that, he managed to steal the shrink ray but Vector stole it away from him.

Since Gru and his cheeky minions were unable to retrieve the shrink ray back from Vector's heavily defensive fort, he resorted to use 3 orphan girls in his plan.

Meet Margo (center), Edith (left) and Agnes (right). These girls managed to infiltrate Vector's base, distracted him and Gru successfully stole back the shrink ray.

As Gru continues his plan to steal the moon, the three little orphaned girls changed his life and made him someone whom he never expected to be - a potential Dad.

Overall, it's a funny yet touching movie. Contains a variety of jokes and laughter that can certainly make your day!

Review: Get Smart

Warning: Content may contain spoilers.

Get Smart is an action-packed spy film. Just a reminder, don't sulk if this movie doesn't turn out like James Bond, the spy codenamed 007 with beautiful seductive girls and sophisticated gadgets.

Well, Get Smart is more of a comedy action movie starring Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. *girls scream handsome* This movie contains many hilarious and entertaining scenes which would make you laugh frantically.

Reminder: If you haven't watched Get Smart and you don't want to spoil your Get Smart movie outing, read no further. Feel free to read the other posts.

The storyline is about Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) and his partner, Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway), trying to save the world from domination by the evil crime organization known as KAOS (Kill All Obese Scumbags). Initially Smart was working as a report analyst for the U.S. spy agency CONTROL (Company Of Nations To Rectify Obesity Level) but when the headquarters has been attacked, Smart was promoted as an agent and was given Agent 86 as his codename.

The scenes are mainly in Russia where Max and 99 went after the nuclear-fanatic members of KAOS. That's where all the funny parts come in.

Besides that, it's packed with various creative gadgets such as explosive floss (do read the floss container before you floss if you don't want to lose your head), shoe phone (doesn't it smell?), tooth transmitter (anyone needs a tooth replaced?) and piano bomb (always look under your piano!).

My favourite gadget would be the Swiss Army Knife. Besides the usual scissors, magnifying glass and can opener, the unique components of the gadget are the flamethrower and the crossbow.

Unfortunately with this gadget, Max hurts himself many times. He shot himself with the crossbow several times and tranquillized himself, and it's just hilarious.

I love the part when the KAOS huge guy jumps and swings from one building and crashed into the window of a room of the opposite building. A guy and his granny are watching some exploding scene on the television and when the KAOS guy smashes through the window, the guy excitedly yells at his granny "Woooowww, the real surround home theater is so real!" They didn't even notice that their window was smashed to smithereens!

However, there are some mild violent scenes too, such as the picture above. Even so, these scenes don't undermine the hilarity of the movie.

Oh yeah not to forget, this is especially for the The Rock's fans, a picture of Dwayne Johnson, known as Agent 23 in Get Smart.
