Hangover (Part III) (2013)

The Last Hurrah! (sings *Ave Maria)

Rate: 3.5/5

My Review: 

            How can a movie so great end up so quickly? And how can a movie such as these becomes so seriously funny? Well.... one proof. That's the movie HANGOVER.

                   It was been so long since the last sequel when the finale comes up and the trio, Bradley Cooper (Phil), Zach Galifianakis (Alan) and Ed Helms (Stu) reprise their roles as the forgetful, dangerous, risk-takers wannabees in their epic final comeback for the movie Hangover Part 3.

                  Well, it's not so "SUPER" as I may so expected to be but it never leaves its trademark to become hilarious and extremely action packed in an their own fail and careless games. What truly caught up my mind is the story stays as part of the series and the three never ever leave behind what they've done from the past and it haunts them until their "UNFINISHED BUSINESS" has been done.

                 And it always continues when one of the team, their own "WOLF-PACK" team do something careless and having no distinct precautions that may affect their own lives and the people whom they love and hide their secrets upon. And from one point, it's always Alan (Zach Galifianakis), who always tries to or had no intention to start their own adventures that becomes so unnatural and unplanned as it may seem to be. But sadly as I may see or feel, Alan had a confusing and sad adult life.

No one seems to understand what he feels or what he can do that he comes to his views to do what he wants, to befriend notorious criminals and some points had few tempers. But it comes to me, that he is real. That he also knew it too. But as it may always shows, (As I quote,)

"When you are different, no one understands you and how you are doing." feeling. And to me that's what Alan feels that he becomes awry and careless.

            Although...what i had remembered from the film, is that they all wanted to change their lives and plan their futures after what had happened to them (Twice!) and they tried to help each other to solve their mistakes or just forget it through their most horrible memories in those ridiculous years. But... it seems to be that it they always end up there.

More hangovers + Unremembered night = Total disaster from the following day.

          What just caught up mine is that personality changes. for good reasons. for few times.
Alan becomes fitting to his friends and families and he promised to change. Phil wants to forget what had happened for the past years and Stu boosted up his confidence and becomes a fighter to himself, to his wife, to his friends and especially to the people who wanted to mess up with him. And if you thought, most of it remains the same but officially... all of them evolve for the best.

          And i might seem that this movie, becomes so boring to others because of continuous sequels but the story may have grown something and it also brings lesson to us as well...

"THAT IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO CHANGE."

WTFacts! (A Clash of Kings Infos 📝)

      I'm halfway reading through A Clash of Kings and by far I am truly happy and satisfied through the story. It was because I learned so much about it, facts that not just opened my eye but also my mind and heart also. And it was not just the characters that I really loved but....

Everything. (Most of it, for now.👌)

And that's why, I'll think I will not post the characters in the book but the others as well. (I'm not referring to the Others in the book huh? It's quite different.)

So BTW, I'll post any facts about the book. Still alphabetical and still very much interesting. And I'll update as best as I can. (For me, somehow 😄😄.) I hope you also read the book just like me. I'll wish. 🌟🌟🌟

Saving Private Ryan. (1998)

"The moment you remember the past, the time you knew everything makes sense."

          The day after I've watched As Good As It Gets, it's time for me to watch some 90's actions films which is one of the most acclaimed films of all time. The film also was been directed by Steven Spielberg and stars Tom Hanks.

First, the movie started when an old man is walking with his family into a memorial funeral for American and French soldiers who died in Second World War and he stopped and cried when he saw a grave kneeling to it and went for him to go for flashback.

It was June 6, 1944 when American recruits have been consulted for their first time in war, young and inexperienced and was fighting French soldiers who are killing and slaughtering each other with no left for survival.

The Sgt who is assigned to help the soldiers to lead into war was Tom Hanks (Captain John Miller) in the movie who was apparently shocked and can't find any solution on how to cross the Omaha Beach with his soldiers been slaughtered and killed amongst their lives.

When all of his comrades have a chance to cross the border successfully, their first mission was completely been accomplished. But it didn't end there.

Back at Washington D.C., men at duty, and women who works for death letters who printed this for families, received a telegram that three of the Ryan family got killed in action in war internationally and this was received at first by their General George Marshall who later on got to go visit the mother of four and was been delivered about the sad news. But apparently it wasn't over.

Back at France,  Sgt Miller received a new mission for their commander that they've got to rescue one of the last survivor of the Ryan family who happens to be in France fighting with their opponents. The plan after became one of their most hardest battle yet.

***
After days of preparing for their mission, Capt. Miller needed some help for his team to accompany him to rescue Private James Francis Ryan (Matt Damon) and bring him back to safety. With the help of his  six soldiers,
   
      *Sgt.Mike Horvath (Tom Sizemore)
      * Pvt. First Class Richard Reiben (Edward Burns)
      * Pvt. Stanley Mellish (Adam Goldberg)
      * Adrian Caparzo (Vin Diesel)
      * Danny Jackson (Barry Pepper)
      * Irwin Wade (MEDIC)

who were all soldiers and last one who is a guy who serves the American military who speaks French, Timothy Upham. (Giovanni Ribisi)

All of them assembled. Best soldiers to be brought upon but what comes next were all 🔫🔫😱😱.

Every one last of them tried to survive to look and search for Pvt Ryan and seemingly the first try to find him is too unlucky. The first one they've got is a false one. He wasn't the Pvt Ryan whom they're looking for because he has  brother who is studying in grammar school. He was shocked to hear the news but was been confronted at last.

At the same placethey've looked for the false Pvt. Ryan, a source said that he got to be dropped in the drop zone of Viervielle. And not to this place they are staying now. But unluckily as they got out of the village, a family of four was trying to make some help when Adrian Caparzo got shot and killed by a sniper shot. He died a few minutes later.

Afterwards, they've walked again and located a few soldiers who knows about where Pvt. Ryan is and someone said that he was in the town of Ramelle guarding a bridge from Merderet River.

By the second time, they've saw a town to help them past Ramelle, andthis time all of it were swarming of French soldiers. Miller and his team proposed a plan to attacked them, silently and it becomes accomplished when all of them cleared the area but one of them had died a natural death. Wounded at first but Wade had struggled to be alive.

In anger, the remaining soldiers were all trying to kill the French soldier who killed Wade whose named is "STEAMBOAT WILLIE." Due to Miller's consent he let him get away, blindfolded but Horvath was to furious accept it. Due to the unexpected death of their friend,  Miller's story became the background of their conversation which told about his life as a preschool teacher. Afterwards all things became calm and they went and came upon arrival to Ramelle.

They have been greeted by their own fellow allies who are also paratroopers and knew that Ryan was on them. And now, by that time they knew and felt that he is the one they're looking for. Miller introduced himself to Ryan and tell him about the sad news. Ryan was too angry and he said that he was unfair to live his life after his brothers were killed in the war.

When Miller offered to take him back him, he refused and that makes the other American soldiers to get angry and tell their stories that two of their comrades died tried to rescued him. And that makes him felt sorry for them for what he had said.

Afterwards, Miller just got the news from the paratroopers that French soldiers were going to be in the village soon and that makes just them to prepared for the battle.  Two of them groups clashed to wait until they come.

It took days for them to prepared and wait until unexpectedly, numerous French soldiers attacked the village. For they are lacking of allies, most of them got killed at combat.


Horvath, Jackson and Miller were killed while Miller survived the attack. He went to the bridge to bomb it but he was shot by "Steamboat Willie". He was killed before even Ryan got to save him and Upham who saw the shot killed Willie while three of them survived.

Reiben. Ryan. and Upham.

Up until the end of the story, it goes back to modern day when the old man who was kneeling is Ryan not Miller and telling him that he is really a good man. He stands up and salutes Miller for his bravery.

The end.

As Good As It Gets (1997)

Change is a good thing.

Rate: 3.5/5 

       
        I've been planning to post movies from the past week but I've been busy updating my blog for the book I am reading and I can't find any available time to do it and it seems that it's to unlucky for me to post some movies.

Until now.

And before today, the last post I've done was more than 2 weeks ago and it was from Deadpool which is great by the way. Too AWESOME! Ha!

From the past week, I've been watching romance films  and downloading it and to start watching again what I chose is the 1997 film "As Good As It Gets" starring Jack Nicholson as a compulsive, mad novelist, Helen Hunt as a waitress who has an ill-young son and Greg Kinnear, a famous gay artist.

The movie was a bit dramatic than romantic and a bit of mix of comedy and I can find myself to angry for the movie because of Jack Nicholson's character. (mmm... right.)

Through the movie, I've found most of the scenes a bit of lesson of "CHANGE."
When Greg Kinnear's character got beaten up their whole life changed.

Jack got to take care of Greg's dog and founds himself to be compassionate from others especially to Helen's character. Helen got to enjoy herself more than worrying for his son and Greg got to be patient and a family-oriented person as he can be.

And this may be funny? But this all happens because of the dog. (TRUST ME! WATCH IT FIRST!)

From the half of the film, when the three met finally. It happens when Greg got to got home from his family and since he's got hurt he favored a help from Jack to accompany him and also made his decision to bring Helen from the trip. (IT'S BECAUSE HE'S CHANGED AND HE ALSO FELL IN LOVE WITH HELEN.)

They went from a road trip, riding a convertible and most their time have each other.

By the time they reach, Greg's home. They got time to enjoy themselves. Jack got to bring Helen for a date. Saying that he has a feeling for her.

But it didn't end well. Not really good.

Helen got home to the hotel with Greg furious while he's done going to sleep and Jack left to drunk himself at the bar for the night. When Greg got to go to bed and see Helen prepare herself to take a bath. Greg suddenly recognize something good about her, he wanted to draw Helen's body for the view and he can't wait to do it now. He asks her to stay where she was but Helen refuserefuse

d first but since Greg is a good guy. He got to do what he want to do. They've talked for a night and have fun like it didn't last.

By the time morning went, the two were happy but Jack got to the hotel furious asking if the two have their time been cuddling or something happened to them last night. Helen explained unspecifically, and even though Jack's anger got him to lose his cool over the two. He's still been attracted to Helen's beauty and started to act to remain calm. 

By the time, breakfast ended, Greg got a call to his mom that his visit is cancelled and they've got no choice to return home. Jack was mad. Greg is okay. And Helen acted she does but still mad at Jack. They've returned at the afternoon that day.

They've got to city again. Normal lives to live upon but Jack can't control himself. And since, Greg is living also in his apartment to be taken care of. He got an advice from him. That he must say what he wants to say and go on with it. (WATCH what happens next?)

When Helen agreed to talk with Jack and take themselves for a walk, Jack explained and say sorry. Helen tried to accept him and understand what he's trying to tell and nods for acceptance.

At the end of the film, the two got to a grocery store, Jack been calm and happy and Helen been great for what has happened to them. The end.

❤Love Song🎤

(William Carlos Williams)

Sweep the house clean,

hang fresh curtains 

in the windows 

put on a new dress

and come with me!

The elm is scattering 

its little loaves 

of sweet smells

from a white sky!

Who shall hear of us 

in the time to come?

Let him say there was

a burst of fragnance 

from black branches.

My desires were all completely different.🌌
