Lolwut what did I say to make you bring up my name now?

I think it may be the best chinese movie I have seen, ever. Which probably speaks more about the amount of chinese movies I've seen than the actual quality of the movie really. But it's a superb movie.

Anyway watched a few movies over the last two weeks.

Paul - The jokes are a lot more low-brow than the usual Pegg/Frost comedies, but it's still highly entertaining and funny, with loads of nods to old sci-fi movies. The alien itself was annoying though, especially in the beginning. Pairing it with the voice of Seth Rogen just makes it worse.

Pi - Finally got around to watching Aronofsky's debut feature. You can definitely see where his latter claustrophobic, downwards-spiral-to-hell movies derived their inspirations from. They all share the same main theme, but are remarkably different enough to stand alone alongside each other. Love Libatique's high contrast B&W photography here. Good to see how a no-budget film can have smart ideas and look so stylish at the same time.

The Adjustment Bureau - Oh I liked it. OK, the movie does find it a hard time balancing romance and sci-fi. It isn't meshed together as well as say, Eternal Sunshine which has romance and sci-fi ideas going on simultaneously in each frame, coexisting perfectly. Here, the romance and sci-fi bits exist mostly in different frames. You have the romance when Matt Damon is with Blunt. And you have sci-fi when Matt Damon is with the adjustment guys. The tone swings. And when both elements merge in the final act, it feels rushed and not very captivating. But at least the it tried to do something differently. It had ideas, and executed them decently enough. I also loved the chemistry between Damon and Blunt, they actually reminded me of Joel and Clementine from Eternal Sunshine... and that's definitely a good thing.

Zodiac - Must have watched this 4 or 5 times now. Fincher's masterpiece.

Mean Streets - Watched for the first time. It was kinda loose storywise  but Harvey Keitel's and De Niro's characters and the friendship between them made the movie. De Niro here actually reminds me of a friend If my friend were to be a gangster I have no doubt he would be something like Johnny Boy. I thought the ending was too abrupt. But really it's a very good film about a bunch of marginal thugs , their way of life, and how they interact with each other, sans a real driving story behind it (some subplots even go nowhere). And the movie is more personal and intimate than his later movies. Less calculated.

I watched those over the last two weeks... Plus let the bullets fly and xmen and pirates 4 in the cinema. Surely that's not too much! Still much less than the two movies you watch each day.

My exam is actually on next Monday. And I'm on study leave this whole week.

3 or 4 years ago, i've used to jotted down every movie title i watched. just keep track /record. i've an average around 2 or 3 movies a day. are that too much?

right now, maybe less than 1 movie a day... but im mixing up with much more TV series.

what an anti social i am 

MF, i saw blake camwhorin pix..nice did she manage to steam up the flick ala scarlett johansson in ironman2?

camp value wise, is this better than superman3?

entertainment wise, is this better than green hornet? (plus point: gondry, jay chou, sweet ass made in taiwan hornetmobile)

from your opinion of what the flick got right, looks like a certified green turd.

Sucker Punch.

Oh my god what a piece of crap.

OK the action is alright, but holds no weight whatsoever and I wasn't invested in them one bit. Visually it's pretty to look at in the same way processed canned foods are nice to eat.

Rubbish.

Mov_freak, have you seen it?

Absolute drivel. Worst of the year so far.

And to think I chose to watch such garbage on the eve of my exam lol. I hope the movie isn't a reflection of hoe bad I'm gonna screw up tomorrow. Because Snyder did just that.

Disturbia (2007)

I don't have any expectation on this movie when i saw Shia LaBeouf here..
But, I read a lot of a good review for this movie and decide to give a chance to watch what critique like so much about this movie..

It turn out to be damn nice..I love thriller movie and this movie will be one of my favorite movie..all the aspect that we need for thriller movie is here..
All the suspense, action, unexpected scene, spontaneous are there.. i really like the story line and the pace of this movie..fast but detailed and also quiet funny for certain scene..

Because of this movie i'm being a big fan for DJ Caruso..

The Eagle [2001]

i think the movie started really well, and i thought i'll watching a great epic. 30 min or so, i've really enjoyed it..

but after that (the lads going north searching for the Eagle), it went downhill..

5/10
