[movie screening] Destination Wedding and Searching

I am really grateful that I got the opportunity to attend the movie preview screening of two upcoming movies,'Destination Wedding' and 'Searching'.

 

 

'Destination Wedding' reunites two of Hollywood's most adored stars, Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder, as socially awkward 'Frank' and 'Lindsay'. The duo meet on their way to a wedding which they were invited to at San Luis Obispo, and two of them discover that they have many things in common. Both of them hate the bride, the groom and the whole wedding. They are both pessimistic individuals, and are negative about their lives!

 

Personally, I did enjoy the show in the beginning but I found that as the movie progressed, there was way too much long dialogue. The main cast go through long conversations with each other and they have no interaction with other actors in the movie at all! 

 

'Searching' is a classic suspense movie which takes us on a series of twists and turns. It is told in an extremely unconventional way, and every shot is told from the perspective of a tech device that we use every day to communicate. The entire movie is done through the screen of computer, from texting, googling to facetiming. It was an unique way to tell the story, yet it is easy for viewers to understand what is happening. 

 

 

John Cho takes us on an intimate and gripping journey as a widower who raises a 16 years old daughter, Margot Kim (starring Michelle La). He nails his role as a concerned father. 

 

 

After David Kim's (starring John Cho) daughter goes missing, Detective Vick (played by Debra Messing) is assigned to the case, but after 37 hours, they are still without a single lead. He decided to search his daughter's laptop, to see if he can find any secrets or clues to ascertain to her sudden disappearance. 

 

 

This movie reveals the reality of online personalities. In the movie, David talks to supposed friends of Margot who act and respond differently once she goes missing. While online, they show a huge amount of worry and concern, yet in reality, they are not interested in her at all! In my personal opinion, this is one of the best movies I have ever seen and I think that everyone should watch it! 

 

 

Thanks once again for the tickets to the movie preview!
