THE BIG SHORT movie review

So I don't want to pretend that I really like THE BIG SHORT because it has a very intelligent context about the big financial recession of the United States during the late 2000's. I am not very well versed with the stocks, bonds, funds, etc. so it is better for you to have full knowledge of the financial terms to be able to relate much in this movie. But if you really got a hold of your money, this movie is for you.

One reason to watch it maybe is you got Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale, Steve Carell and Brad Pitt showing one by one in the big screen. If you have a fanatic sense with these four, you'll be served well. Their roles are something you've never seen before. They're well, fine, and sometimes giving the feeling that they may be trying to play on you and your money. Admire them for that and the writers as well.

At least they've managed to give the balance among these A-listers and even helped you with a few items if your discombobulating with the terms. You will be surprised as what gives what and in a bit, I liked them all too.

THE BIG SHORT opens January 20. Distributed by United International Pictures through Columbia Pictures.

Hikers warned! Don't dare to enter THE FOREST

A real-life forest at the foot of Mt. Fuji in Japan was believed to be home of evil spirits and lures in tourists who never return. The Aokigahara forest was also dubbed as Suicide Forest and is an inspiration to film director, Jason Sada, for his next film, The Forest. Set to open in theaters this February 2016.

Natalie Dormer (Game of Thrones/The Hunger Games) braves the said forest as Sara -- an American woman who tries to find her sister who mysteriously disappeared inside the forest. In the company of expatriate Aiden (Taylor Kinney of “Chicago Fire”), Sara enters the forest having been well warned to “stay on the path.” Determined to discover the truth about her sister’s fate, Sara will have to face the angry and tormented souls of the dead that prey on anyone who dares come near them. These malevolent spirits lying in wait for Sara at every turn will plunge her into a frightening darkness from which she must fight to save herself. Watch the trailer here:
