The Dark Knight review

?/10

RED [2010]
ok pedestrian fluff but wouldn't watch it again. funny how helen mirren is so much hotter than Mary-Louise Parker especially in that stunning white gown and thinks karl urban is uber suave effin badass.
5/10 ..meh

Paranormal Activity 2 (2010)

It has quite nice build up prequel for PA. Even though the suspense and shock is a bit lowered down compare to PA. I like the way they link the Katie and Micah in this movie. Not bad movie but could be better.Can't wait for PA3 this year (or most likely next year in Msia)

I notice the director trying to insert a few jokes in this movie even though it doesn't necessary. (for e.g. Ali and the maid dancing)

Rating: 7.5/10

Scott Pilgrim vs the world
10/10

this movie kissass beyond awesomeness that epic beyond epicness

Damping Malam (2011)

And again, another Malay movie that did not live up to my expectation.

5/10.

The Owls of Ga'Hoole [2010]
typical hero's journey story with OWLS but wow i'm pretty impressed with the cgi even more so than frigin avatar. extra points for using the dead can dance song in that triumphant scene. what i don't like: the shitty pop song during the montage and the end credits. its an oz production nick cave n warren ellis not available?!!
7/10 this one i'll definitely revisit...soon

The Freebie
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1474889/

Like it so much.. love the way it's done.. With the free hand shot, if I don't know better, I'd say it looks almost like a documentary, or reality tv.. Plus, I heard almost all of the dialogs were ad-lib kinda thing, spontaneous, and it turn out perfect, so that count for a lot.

but this is what my not-so-interested-with-anything-other-than-explosion friends would label as a banyak cakap movie.. but it's perfectly fine with me because it's not boring at all..

Very good indie movie. I rated it in IMDB with 8/10.

Kick-Ass

First movie to start off the 2010 season. Really kicks major ass. I love about everything in this movie. Action, swears and Nicholas Cage + Chloe Moretz. Amazing cast, btw. (McLovin? lolwut). Only gripe is the ending could've been more climatic (c'mon? a deus ex machina?!). A-



Prince of Persia

I believe the subtitle has Sands of Time in it but I've only seen the dagger usage like 2 or 3 times. lrn2market. Anyway, thin plot as always for a video game movie and that sadly destroys the movie for me. But I like the black guy and the guy who owns the ostrich racing syndicate. C+



Iron Man 2

Disappointing. Nothing much to say except I still have faith for a beter third film. :|



Hot Tub Time Machine

Guilty pleasure movie of 2010 for sure. I can summarize the movie in a sentence: 4 dudes found a hot tub time machine and went back to the 80s. Totally hilarious especially the part with how the bagboy lost his arm. The chemistry between the four guys are great as you can really feel like they're best buds since ages ago. B-



Toy Story 3

Amazing, amazing, amazing. I've watched the first two films a day before i watch TS3 to experience the nostalgia beforehand. Pixar can never do wrong. Great plot, great animation, great characters and most of all great emotions. Makes me teared at the end. Very few films can do that to me. Farewell, Toy Story. A+



Predators

Oh look, the aliens from Jamaica (j/k) are back! After the stinkbombs of AvP and AvP2, I can finally see the light at the other end of the tunnel with this film. Humans vs predators ftw! A few badass death scenes here and there makes it great. I also like the cast as well (Yakuza guy was badass, Adrian Brody was unexpectedly good but he hast that Batman voice in him for some reason, Topher Grace/Venom/Eric Forman was hilarious in this flick). There's also an unexpected twist at the end. Nice summer movie.B+


Inception

Nolan can do no wrong. He's like the human version of Pixar studios. When the entire audience are at the edge of the seat all the way to the ending, you know you have done something right. The acting in this film is phenomenal (big props to JGL and Cillian Murphy). Visually stunning, some of the shots in this film has what it takes to enter my top 10 fav. shots of all time. I'm still digesting the plot and I have to go see it again to fully absorb everything. A+



Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

Visually impressive and funny most of the times, it's safe to say Edgar Wright still has a perfect score card in directing movies. A



Machete

The first half is just so fun to watch cuz of DAT VIOLENCE. Fortunately, it's enough to keep me entertained over a timid 2nd half. B-



Buried

Nobody should decline an offer to watch 90 minutes of Ryan Reynolds in a coffin. Without a great performance by RR and innovative cinematography, this movie would be boring as hell. A-



The Social Network

Great acting by the entire ensemble. Flawless writing. Beautifully handled by David Fincher. Amazing soundtrack. A modern masterpiece right here. A+



Red

How can a movie with so many talented actors be so dull? I can't even watch this in its entirety. Most disappointed movie of the year. D+



Unstoppable

Funnest movie of 2010. CHOO! CHOO! B+



Due Date

It's really funny but somehow this movie lacks soul. Might be due to pacing issues and poor character development. C+



Get Him To The Greek

It has the funniest scene and the most WTF performance (I'm looking at you, Diddy) of 2010. But I really wish some of the other characters from Forgetting Sarah Marshall were in this movie. In comparison, FSM is a better movie but GHTTG is funnier. B+



Enter The Void

One of the best cinematography I've ever seen, it has a really interesting premise. Unfortunately, new wave french cinema isn't my thing as it can get pretty distasteful. Pacing is also another issue but the journey is still worth it. A really spiritual film. B-



Macgruber

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS CRAP? D-



The Kids Are All Right

Family-in-crisis movies don't do much to me. But this movie is somewhat considered more original because it features a lesbian couple with kids. A lot of Oscar buzz but I don't get the hype. C+



Black Swan

If you think Inception was a mindf*** experience, go watch Black Swan. It'll f*** your mind until your mind gets paralyzed from its amazing orgasm. If my description makes you cringe, the movie will practically have the same effect to you. A



The Town

Crime movie of the decade so far. Intensely shot and confidently directed by actor/director Ben Affleck, it'll be unfair for the movie to not get nominated for Best Picture during Oscar season. A-



Tron:Legacy

Basically the Avatar of 2010: Amazing special effects but boring plot. I really wish the characters and story were written better but the visuals made up for it. B-


Somewhere

This movie follows an A-list actor whose life seems monotonous. The first 30 minutes of the movie basically drones on and on until it makes me bored of the movie and I was really disappointed because I'd high expectations of somewhere. And then all the scenes with his daughter came and his mundane life was turned upside down. The hour and so of these scenes really made the main character so lively that I've finally understood why the director chose to make the first 30 minutes to be that. A



Exit Through The Gift Shop

This has to be my fav. documentary I've ever watched. Smart and creative throughout the film, the film does a fine job as a documentary: educating us while still being entertaining. A



127 Hours

James Franco has proven himself with this film that he's finally joined the Premiere League of actors. Some people compare Buried with this but I don't think there's much to compare as the context of both films are different. Basic plot is about a guy who got trapped in a cave and the only way to escape is by amputating his arm with a made in China pocket knife. The amputation scene is unexpectedly gruesome but I can understand why Danny Boyle made it that way. And the best part of the movie for me is the use of a Sigur Ros song during the ending. A-

Paranormal Activity 2

To quote my GF, "As Shitty as Shit".

Overuse of sound to give frights. Too much overuse.

4/10.

Notes On A Scandal [2006] - UK

a sexual scandal between a female teacher and her teenage pupil. a colleague discover this forbidden affair and try to manipulate it for her own benefits.

great performance by Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench.

8.5/10

Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985)

a review by avgn

Faster (2010)

Here's the sad part - this is another downfall for The Rock.

This movie ain't "FASTER"... it's S-L-O-W-E-R and completely one too many unnecessary plot fill-ins...

What to expect from this movie? Well, it is a revenge film... but one that ends so sadly, from a dark and gritty cold revenge to... hope?

Seriously, Hollywood just don't understand what the audience wants... or its the script writer that do not understand what we want.

The action here is terribly minimum - you get to fill in on a S-L-O-W ride of why The Rock gets revenge, who are the people he wants to take revenge upon and... why is there even an assassin with an ego trip?!?

This is not a come back for Dwayne Johnson on action genre... this movie just fails.

Rating:- 2.5 out of 5.

Has he ever rise to the top before? o_O

Well, The Rundown and Walking Tall are both good films...

Inception
agreed, an excellent film.

Black Swan
i cant class it as mindf*** (maybe i already predict the storyline). nevertheless its an excellent movie, better than Inception. the best for me in 2010.

The Town
an excellent crime movie, but certainly not the best of 2000s (for me). i grown fond to Ben Affleck works (as director)

Exit Through The Gift Shop
very interesting piece of documentary about street art. the picture are in poor quality, but acceptable because it came from amateur cameraman and never meant to be a major motion movie.

Knight and Day. A breezily paced, very agreeable in tone action movie, with a few well executed action scenes, in particular the freeway chase has originality in how it's shot and fluidity in how it comes together, marred only by the obvious and rather shoddy CGI. Tom Cruise's introduction in this sequence is mindblowingly cool, and if it had been his first formal introduction in the movie, it would have probably been the best introduction to a character since Captain Jack Sparrow in the first POTC. Apart from all that it's all rather fomulaic and uninspiring, but I was entertained adequately.

John Powell gives us yet another great score in this. I just can't get enough of his percussive action cues.

Here's a taste:

devil
quite good for me.gave enough suspense and thrill.at the end of the day,the suicide case didn't get solved.i thought there might be something that could really link both events apart from the story but there's none.the plot twist works for me.i almost thought that ramirez was the real devil as he knows the story and works for caraway security.that old woman wake up from dead was scary.

i'll give it 7/10.could be higher if they could link up between those two events.

You got me at breezy!!

Good movie to pass time

From what I understand, it is suppose to be a trilogy...

If the do make the 2nd and 3rd movie, maybe the loose ends you had pointed out would be answered.

Yes, I too enjoyed this movie

a couple weeks, completing TV series, Mad Men and Rome.. both awesome..

The Cell 2 [2009]
also suck..

The Last Exorcism (2010)

Review :

Anyone watched this already? The movie is fantastic... shaky camera method from start to finish. Some (very) disturbing images and genuinely scary moments.

So it must be an overall brilliant movie? ....short answer, No. The last 15 minutes of the film RUINED IT ALL !



This is like "Blair Witch Project" but the ending kills off the movie. Almost, the entire movie. Wonder who wrote the ending. Geesh.

6/10

Posted before in "The Last Exorcism" topic... thinking of which I did do quite a number of reviews in their respective topics...

1957 - Hati Malaya [2007]

i love historical film. ive already known (almost) all the facts and the storyline, but as Malaysian this film are quite meaningful. but the plots are quite messy and for somebody who are unfamiliar with Tanah Melayu independence will be certainly confuse. the acting are so-so, except the Tunku (unfamiliar actor) which i think he's very outstanding.

by Malay film standard, its very good film me think..

The King's Speech - 2010

Watched this last night. I was clueless to what this movie is about. Read some synopsis & was thinking, why would they make a movie about a stammer? How could this be interesting & oscar worthy?
I really loved it! One of my fave movies of all time. It's a really inspiring movie about a friendship between a King who has a stuttering problem & his speech therapist. Very human. I recommend everyone to watch this. I certainly give it 8.5/10. Even a 9.

Khurafat.

Too much technique on "Calm before the storm". Over reliance on sound. No chemistry between husband and wife. plot holes as usual. And sorry guys, Liyana Jasmay is still kayu here in this. Syamsul lagi bangang.

2/10.

Green Hornet (2011 3D)

FAIL

Too many things wrong with the movie, tak kuasa to sebut....

1/10 (because Christoph Waltz did the best he could with almost nothing...)

My Two Sen

oh no!! since I read so many positive reviews on this
Some more having Evan Goldberg as one of the writer - Superbad, Pineapple Express: which I loved!
Mov_freak, do you like these two movies?

Planning to watch this movie soon. yeay

You are usually so lenient towards bad movies, so this must be a real turkey. Personally I find it hard to believe someone who made the best movie about love I've ever seen is capable of making such a disaster, but Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind remains the only movie I've seen from him, so I can't say.

Watched Animal Kingdom. Crime-drama from Australia. Great script that allows for a number of great characters I was very involved in, great pacing, assured direction. There are moments of suspense in here that do not rise from the plot of action thrills, but rather stem from the changing dynamics in the relationships between characters. Fantastic. These are characters that we care about, and when their lives are snuffed out... it's nauseatingly brutal. The only thing I didn't like was the ending... a film of this calibre didn't need a surprise like that.

Easily superior to The Town.

Hi Amygdalai and QuickFire

There is just no pleasing some people!! (I'm directing this at you Quickfire)

Yes, Green Hornet has some great pedigree (in terms of script writer and director)

Yes, I love Pineapple Express and Superbad

The thing about Green Hornet from a script point of view is how POINTLESS it is...

Seth Rogen as Green Hornet... Really, and don't even get me started on Jay Chou....

Maybe I'm too much a fan of Stephen Chow, who was originally slated to directed and play Kato

He left under a storm of creative differences...

2011 isn't started with a bang for me...

I dont care about that half-trick pony Seth Rogen so I dont care about watching the movie either.

You shouldn't be watching Green Hornet. It should really be Kato and the Green Hornet as it was. The name title means a whole lot.

And here we have Seth Rogen being supremely annoying. Never have I thought he would go to this length to be annoying. Its totally unbearable.

this. one of the best of 2010. simply surpass Inception and The Social Network in my book as the best of 2010. but still, equal class with Black Swan.

looking forward to watch Rabbit Hole, 127 Hours and The Fighter..

DARN!!!

Why DIDN'T you review B4 I watched it!!!!

Seth Rogen just went on MTV stating that if you watch Green Hornet and after you had watched the movie and you don't think it is the greatest movie ever made, he'll personally come to your place and give you One Million US Dollars...

I WANT my One Million US Dollars!!!!!

Legend of the Guardians

Just caught this 15 minutes ago and what a brilliant film. Such a shame that this film isn't given recognition and attention it deserves. While the voice cast comprises of relatively lesser known actors and actresses (the most famous being Mirren and Sturgess?) but each of the characters are wonderfully voiced by the cast, each played with conviction and believability. The film has some astounding visuals. Hand to heart, of all the 2010 releases I have seen, I don't think I have seen anything this beautiful. Incredibly choreographed and almost perfectly paced, the film breezes by filled with some thrilling sequences, vibrance and characters you care for. Such a shame that the film is so underappreciated.

Would just like to point out that though the rating states it's PG for some sequences of scary action, some of the sequences are so violent one has to wonder how this film didn't get a PG-13 instead. One thing of note though, two of the most intense sequences featuring Saron is interrupted by Snyder's insistence of using slow-motion intended to heighten the exhilaration of the particular sequences, however I feel rather than heightening it, the usage of slow-motion has become more of an annoyance in my book. God helps us if we'll have to sit through Superman in slow-mo for over half the film!

Still, a small nitpick to an extraordinary film. I can only scream one sentence at the end of the film: GREEN LIGHT THE SEQUEL!!!!!

9/10

Is that the one by Zack Snyder? How can it be that good? Scandalous!

Oh and I watched Winter's Bone. I suppose you can call it a perfectly good movie in its own right, but the whole thing was just unappealing to me in tone, looks, and story. Kinda like that other 'indie' movie I saw a few years ago, Frozen River or something. Something about how these movies look just seem so unappealing and uninteresting.

This post has been edited by QuickFire: Feb 2 2011, 10:45 PM

Yeap, same film. I was equally surprised as to how good it turned out to be but blew me away. Never beyond my wildest imagination a film about owls could be appealing but he did it, just as he did with Watchmen.

And how are you watching Animal Kingdom?! I have been searching for it everywhere!

EDIT: just caught Dinner for Schmucks

Since Anchorman and The Forty Year Old Virgin, Hollywood have capitalized on the popularity of the bromantic comedy genre by churning out several films each year. Fans will have fond memories of Knocked Up, I Love You, Man or The Hangover while cursing the day they sat through The Other Guys or Grown Ups. Dinner for Schmucks lies somewhere in between the two extremes.

Dinner for Schmucks tells the story of Tim (Rudd) who at the request of his boss, has to find an idiot to invite for dinner to be ridiculed by guests at the dinner, in order to boost his chances for a promotion. His girlfriend, Julie (Stephanie Szostak) finds the idea repulsive and asks him not to do follow through with the idea. Tim agrees but what do you do when an idiot falls down from the skies and onto your lap? Tim knocks Barry (Carrell) over and instantly notices that this is the idiot that he needs and invites Barry over for dinner. Barry, oblivious of Tim's motives agrees to the dinner and throughout the film, Tim and Barry goes through a series of events, each more preposterous than the last, as both people learn on what they want in their lives, about friendship and love.

The main problem I have with the film is the sense of overwhelming familiarity I feel as I watch this film and I am not talking about the premise although I am told that this film is a remake of a very successful French film. For instance, Paul Rudd seems to be playing the same character he played in I Love You, Man while Therman (Zach Galifianakis) seems to be playing the same character he played in The Hangover. Steve Carrell seems to be playing the same character he played in Get Smart although there is one scene where Barry is asked to 'punish' a very naughty girl that screams Forty Year Old Virgin. And there is this character Kieran, he feels similar to Russell Brand's character in Get Him to The Greek. This film feels like a mix and match integrating successful elements of previous bromantic comedies but someone should have told Jay Roach that while you may have the same ingredients, the results may differ and in the case for Dinner for Schmucks, it has produced average results. Another fatal blow the film makes is to have the audience laugh at Barry's idiocy. The viewers are constantly reminded by Tim and Julie on how cruel is it to laugh at others' misfortune but then ironically proceeds by asking the audience to laugh at Barry's behavior.

At heart, Dinner for Schmucks has a noble message; that the joke is on the one that laughs at others. Having said that, I am not sure anyone would want to be in Barry's shoes, even for a day. In spite of my many criticisms of the film, I do believe that there is some entertainment value in this film for a lazy Saturday afternoon. While it is neither original or laugh-out-loud funny, I do believe that Dinner for Schmucks would be a worthy recommendation for a rental.

6/10 (a very lenient 6 but it does slightly better than pass and I don't believe in the 0.5 system).

The Town

Repeated viewings will help me decide if The Town is truly a great film but at the very least, The Town is a gripping film that is sublimely well directed and carried by some great acting performances. While Ben Affleck, Rebecca Hall and Blake Lively deliver some solid acting performances, it is Jeremy Renner and Pete Postlethwaite that well and truly steal the show. Renner portrays the life-wire Jem with such compulsion that makes him the driving force of the film in spite of him being a supporting character.

While The Town boasts of many great scenes that elevates the film, there are three scenes that particularly stand out in my book. The first scene is driven by the acting performances of Postlethwaite as Fergus who responds to the ultimatum delivered by Doug by turning the tables and threatening Doug to perform the task handed to him. The second scene features Jem (Jeremy Renner) sitting at a coffee table finding out that his partner in crime Doug (Ben Affleck) is having a romantic relationship with Claire (Rebecca Hall) who recognizes Jem from his tattoo at the back of his neck. Much of this scene plays on whether Jem will position his body in such a way Claire would see Jem's tattoo and what Jem might do at any second during the conversation. Renner's acting and Affleck's skilled direction ensure that we witness one of the tensest sequences of the year, wondering if Claire would find out the truth about Jem or how Jem would react at any second. The third scene features Doug asking Jem to help me hurt somebody but Jem must not and cannot ask who or why the attack is taking place and Jem simply asks "Whose car are we taking?" This scene emphasizes the importance of how Jem in particular is blind in his devotion and loyalty to his partner-in-crime cum brother-from-another-mother in Doug and would do anything for him. There are many more of these sort of scenes in The Town that separate it from lesser crime dramas.

It is a disappointment to see Jon Hamm, one of my favorite actors, consistently excellent as the enigmatic Don Draper in Mad Men appear so impotent as the FBI agent set out to hunt Doug and his gang. The Town has been compared to Heat by various parties but one of the most intriguing aspects about Heat was how both the protagonist and the antagonist were fully fleshed out and come across as entirely believable in their conviction to out do one another. While the script did Hamm little favours, it is still incredibly disappointing to see Hamm play the wrong hitting all the wrong notes and is probably the only thing that makes me question The Town's status as a truly great crime drama of the decade.

Much has been said about the ending of The Town and I am of the opinion that the film's ending is neither here-nor-there in a sense that it is neither a fairy-tale ending or a Greek tragedy. It seems like an ending where Affleck had little idea on how to end the film and decided to have Doug end up in limbo. While fans have said that they were pleased in seeing that the film did not resort to the typical fluff ending, the ending that accompanied the film seems to be a non-ending to me and leaves me relatively dissatisfied. The non-ending, in my books, betrays much of the two hours that precedes the end.

Still, The Town his the right spot more times than not and is a solid entry to the crime-drama genre. Only time will tell if it is a masterpiece.

8/10

Everything was pretty good until that ending which petered out to nothingness. The movie just suddenly grew weak knees and everything fell apart. Go watch Animal Kingdom, which is a far better film about crime impacts life. It's a bit like Goodfellas without all the wiseguy jokes and fun tone.

There's a copy of the bluray floating around if that's what you are asking lol.

its CNY holiday, so ive decided to watch some of the movies which was over-looked and buried in my HD, before delete it to make some space..

Leatherheads [2008]
a film about professional American Football in 1920s. its very comical, entertaining, good at some parts, but overall it just an average movie. Starring George Clooney, Renée Zellweger, Jonathan Pryce and John Krasinski. 6/10.

Rise: Blood Hunter [2007]
another vampire movie. meh, i never like this genre but not so bad if you comparing this movie to the others vampire movies. rare glimpse of Lucy Liu's body will make up the disappointment 5/10

Jennifer's Body [2009]
its all about hotness of Megan Fox (and Amanda Seyfried). another meh.. devil eating men in a form of hot Megan Fox. some good OST track are the only bright side (and of course, Megan Fox ). 5/10

The Devil's Whore [2008] - UK 4 episodes miniseries
i expect another great epic (from UK TV series), like Rome or at least as good as The Pillars of the Earth. this series arent that good, but still worth watching. it centres on the adventures of the fictional Angelica Fanshawe, and historical Edward Sexby during England turbulence period 1638 to 1660. 6.5/10.

Trolljegeren (The Troll Hunter) (2010)

Liked it. Basically about hunting trolls, no surprise there..
But it'd be better if they put more "secrecy" in it. Just that how easy such information, such world, never got notice by the public, as the ones involved don't seem that secretive.

Nevertheless, 7.5/10

The Kids Are Alright [2010]

bit funny here n there.. good family drama of lesbian couple. and Julianne Moore as usual, never shy to show off her body. 7.5/10.

Overboard (1987)

Ah, comedies from the 80s...

Back then Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell was the "IT" couple and Garry Marshall was a few movies away from Pretty Woman.

There is obviously chemistry between Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell.

Goldie Hawn literally moves this RomCom along and she does a good job. It's a pity that she's a racist in real life...

Kurt Russell is basically window dressing here!!

The kids did a great job as well.

Very self indulging piece and I have watch this a couple of time over the years...

127 Hours [2010]

one the best of last year, great performance by Franco. great camera works and magnificent view at the first 20 minutes, a bit dull in the middle but still OKish, and the ending are nice (but predictable. yeah, its true story so they cant alter it)

not Oscar material, but hopefully they can make an upset in Best Actor category..

No Strings Attached (2011)

I'll hate to admit it but I really, really enjoyed it. There may have been a growing trend in Hollywood these days for Hollywood to churn out R-rated comedies that are so tame that one has to wonder why the studios insisted on keeping the R-rating that would have hindered the film's commercial prospects. No Strings Attached happens to be the second film in less than a year that falls in to the aforementioned category (the first being Going the Distance) and like the former, both films unnecessarily spices things up by adding scenes depicting some 'raunchy' dry humping as well as exploring unconventional forms of maintaining relationships.

There are many things going against the film. Many of the jokes and sexual innuendos are the sort that belongs in the 'been-there-done-that' category and I cannot help but wonder if the film had a better lead opposite Natalie Portman, we would have had a great film. Ashton Kutcher is so bland that much of the film is carried by Portman's strong performance. Physically, Kutcher looks a chiseled specimen fit to be Michelangelo's subject but unfortunately, Kutcher is no match opposite Portman and the pair rarely hit the same notes (all of it due to Kutcher's limitations as an actor). The supporting actors behind Portman do whatever is required to provide little gags here and there and special praise to Ludacris who never fails me up whenever he is on screen.

People have mentioned many a time on how Natalie Portman resembles a young Audrey Hepburn and I never really believed that to be so apart from some physical resemblance. And in my defense, of all the films in Portman's filmography, she has either been brilliant (Leon, V for Vendetta, Closer and Black Swan or mind-numbingly annoying and boring (Star Wars, Star Wars and Star Wars). It is hard for me to say more and not spoil the film but Natalie Portman at the end of the film shows shades of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast in Tiffany's.In No Strings Attached, I believe she shows her that fun and sexy side that we have not seen from her previously in the same way Hepburn let loose in Roman Holiday. It is easy to see why she has taken on such roles and personally, I am glad to see her taking on such roles in this film and the upcoming Your Highness even if they end up being box-office bombs.

No Strings Attached is an incredibly frustrating film to watch as Natalie Portman deserves better in this film. If the film had a better lead actor, if the script was a little tighter (there is one minor 'jealousy' subplot between Portman's male doctor colleague and Adam that is never developed and ends up being very pointless) and if the film ditched the pointless R-rating, I am convinced that No Strings Attached would have been a much larger commercial success and a better film at that. I believe that No Strings Attached happens to be Ivan Reitman's best film since Junior but if you were to look at his filmography since that film, you would realise that it is not much of a compliment.

7/10 (most of the 7 points lies in Portman's performance that undoubtedly makes the film).

NOTE:

1. I compared this to Going The Distance quite a bit, there is no doubt in my mind that this is a better film, if only for Portman's charming performance.
2. In my books, this is the second film in a year which a female performance has single handedly carried a generic romantic comedy and turned it into a watchable film - the other film being Letters to Juliet.
3. I wish Kate Winslet would take on such roles once in a while.

90 minutes of interview of Hitler's last personal secretary. if u love /obsess about Hitler's story, this is for u. if not, this is just a plain interview. this interview is a base for Der Untergang /Downfall [2004], a great movie about final days of Hitler.

Unstoppable [2010]

surprisingly good since im not fond to Hollywood action movies lately. good pace, nice action, im totally enjoyed it.

Here's a Mix malay and Chinese Guy doing A chinese Movie review and No Strings Attached.

Mr. And Mrs. Incredible.

Aside from a typical flat movie at the end, the ticket price was worth it to see the chemistry and bond between Louis Koo and Sandra Ng. Sandra being bubbly and Louis being charming has always been great for me and truly is a wonderful sight to be seen.

No Strings Attached.

Sigh... Why did Natalie even do and produced this? Flat acting, flat performance, hampering ending, shots were not right, and music was... wonderfully awkward.

Faster - coulda been a Statham flick and i must agree the opening intro is badass. 5/10
alternative: lee marvin's point blank or mel gibson's payback

Let Me in - the shithead bully looks awfully like jgl @ tommy 8/10
alternative: tony scott's the hunger

going for sactum this weekend

I Am Number Four (2011)

Movie companies are now putting "interesting" stuff out before the cut throat summer frenzy.

Case in point putting Iron Man in 2008 in May just before summer!!

Now, Iron Man, this movie is NOT, and THAT IS NOT a bad thing!

My impression of this movie is like a movie version of Roswell, if you don't know what I mean, never mind.

I have notice Alex Pettyfer when he was only Alex Rider in the movie Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker. I remember back then I was saying to myself, wow, this kid can sell the idea he did all that (eg action sequence).

And in this movie... wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.

Story as mention above is NOT original.

As for pacing, I believe many a person [in the I Am Number Four Thread] had stated that the movie is slow. Personally, I didn't mind the pacing, it allow the viewers to see/feel things from John/I Am Number Four point of view so I was invested in the character. There was a spot before the much touted 15 minutes of action sequence, where I did find myself going, they are doing WHAT at this point in time, and have to emphasis, I only felt that in THAT in that ONE scene. And after the action sequence happen and it didn't matter anymore...

Alex Pettyfer and Dianna Agron looks good together, and I have always liked Timothy Olyphant.

Alex Pettyfer can sell the idea he can do ALL the action sequence.

In short I did like the movie, so much so I am actually thinking of getting the book to absorb more details about the story.

The second book is suppose to come out this year.

I really do hope that gets a movie treatment too!!

Oh, before I go, I just have to say, I LOVE BEAGLE!!! (Snoopy, anyone!! )

My Two Sen!!

i need quick review /opinion about this films:
You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger
Easy A

i assume its some kind chick-flicks films, is it any good? TQ.

True Grit: 8/10

Coen brothers remake of a John Wayne western if not mistaken. Hailie Steinfeld should easily win bloody Best Supporting Actress since her maturity and "guts" defies her young age. Good plotline buildup towards the middle but somehow the tension fizzles out rendering it a little anti-climatic. Not Coens brothers best, but still a good watch for terrific acting.

True Grit (2010)

Who says that Hollywood remakes always turn out to be bad films? True Grit, in my opinion the best film of 2010, is a stern reminder to fans that film remakes can be good, if placed in the right pair of hands. Like what Martin Scorsese did for The Departed, the Coen Brothers' interpretation of True Grit is superior to the original film and is one of the great films of its genre and God knows how deprived of great Western films we are in recent times.

Set around the 19th century in the Old West, True Grit tells a tale of a young 14-year old Mattie Ross seeking revenge and retribution for her deceased father murdered at the hands of a spineless scoundrel by the name of Tom Chaney (Brolin) who flees and joins up with Ned Pepper's gang. Away from her family, Mattie Ross (Steinfeld)' determination leads her to an alcoholic Marshall Cogburn (Bridges) to take on her case for revenge who according to the local law enforcement officers is known for showing 'true grit.' Accompanying Ross and Cogburn is Texas Ranger LaBoeuf (Damon) who is hunting and hoping to bring Chaney back to Texas for an assassination commited there.

Throughout the film and Ross and Cogburn's journey, we learn bit-by-bit a lot about the two characters and the prices they pay for earning their 'true grit.' While the film's trailers and posters advertise the actors playing Cogburn and LaBeouf (Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon respectively) having first and second billing, do not be fooled, this is primarily Mattie Ross'(Hailee Steinfeld) story. Bit by bit as the film progresses, we learn more about Ross and Cogburn's characters and we witness some subtle changes in these characters. As the film opens, we see Rooster Cogburn literally in the dumps as an alcoholic Marshall who is drinking and smoking his way to his grave. However, in the pursuit of Tom Chaney, Rooster Cogburn regains his appetite for life and he shows great poise, accuracy and true grit which Ross admires. On the other scale of the story, we see Ross as a mature 14 year old teenager who is as single-minded as she is sure of herself but as the film progresses, we learn as she learns quickly that her sharp tongue and stubborness leads to her pitfall (pun intended if you have watched the film). However, as she learns the hard way that she may sometimes have to forego what she wants and settle for what she can have, Ross earns the admiration of both Cogburn and LaBoeuf for showing grit that the earlier two characters deem a necessary characteristic to survive in the West.

Some people may say that True Grit marks the Coen Brothers' attempt in making a straight-forward Hollywood film that carries little to none of the signature touches of the Coen Brothers but I certainly do not see it that way. The sharp dialogue, elements of dark humor mixed with moments of brutal violence, great acting and cinematography and the casting of Coen Brothers' regulars are all marks of the Coen Brothers. Thematically, the Coen Brothers once again play with the idea of a predestined fate that awaits each of the characters and the film establishes this by stating early in the film that nothing is free in this world except for the grace of God. Mattie Ross pays a steep price for avenging her father's death and just as Rooster Cogburn has an eye patch to show for his grit, we see that LaBoeuf and Ross have their own fair-share of scars to show for.

Off the heels of winning the Academy Award for Best Actor in Crazy Heart, Jeff Bridges does it again with a supremely confident performance as Rooster Cogburn who does not attempt to imitate John Wayne but rather he brings his own unique style and poise to the role. The Coen Brothers have also continued their trend of taking the mickey out of the new Hollywood rat-pack by casting another one of Ocean's Eleven (previously Clooney and Pitt) as buffoons. Both Bridges and Damon successfully walk a fine line between comedy and drama that while being (literally) painfully funny at times does not make a mockery out of the serious escapades. Josh Brolin has limited screen time as Tom Chaney and I am surprised how different Chaney appears to be compared to the average criminal who appears with nothing more than a scowl but rather Brolin successfully humanises Chaney and for a brief moment, we feel sorry for him. However, the star of the show happens to be Hailee Steinfeld who won the role as Mattie Ross after beating 15,000 other candidates in an open casting call. I sincerely believe that it must have been a pretty easy decision to make after seeing how brilliant Steinfeld is on screen, holding her own against veterans of the calibre of Damon, Brolin and Bridges.

True Grit is probably the most accessible of films that the Coen Brothers will ever make. It is a brilliantly made film that takes a straight forward premise to a level of unparalled brilliance with impeccable acting, gorgeous cinematography and last but certainly not least, a brilliant script as well as the assured direction from the Coen Brothers. In my opinion, True Grit is the best film of 2010 and it is my favorite Coen Brothers film.

5/5

Wow I just found out both True Grit and Black Swan are playing at local cinemas now... Not been paying attention.

I assume nothing is censored in TG? I'll try to catch it tomorrow.

City Island [2009]
light and easy family-comedy-drama film. a dysfunctional family whose members all have a dirty secrets and live in City Island, New York. i like a lot, IMO its a bit similar to The Kids Are Alright [2010]. this one had less award recognition but im enjoying it more. 7/10

Easy A [2010]
teen-drama film. about a girl (Emma Stone), pretend to be a slut. and her ill growing reputation awkwardly help a lot of her schoolmates. partially inspired by the novel The Scarlet Letter. i dont like the story but its quite enjoyable. 5/10

The Next Three Days [2010]
i read a lot of bad reviews about it, so i didnt expect much, surprisingly im enjoying it. this my type film, an ordinary /despair man give it all to do an extra ordinary things. likened it to Law Abiding Citizen [2009], but this one much better. never say this is a great film by any definition, but TBH im enjoying it. 5/10

Straightheads [2007]
similar formula of classic I Spit On Your Grave, The Last House On The Left et al. the avenge of rape victim. nothing special overall (except Gillian Anderson rare **** scenes). 4/10

I like this movie even the pace kinda S.L.O.W..but at least not like Drive Angry or some other movie juz boom here boom there..at the no story to tell juz a popcorn flick movie

True Grit

It starts of with a bang, ends with a flash. Spectacular performance by Hailee and Jeff in this one. Worth the ticket price alone. Josh Brolin, TOTALLY UNDERUTILIZED.

The Fighter

Christian Bale deserves his win alright. Scene stealer in every one of them. Melissa Leo also deserves for her role. Too bad Marky Mark was still not up to par.

[●REC] (2007)

One of the best movies i ever saw, and definitely best horror flick. While it maybe similar to Paranormal Activity, it's much much better. Its movie-making genius in various aspects. Definitely A MUST WATCH. The movie is Spanish though, but don't let that stop you from watching it, get the dubbed version or at least with subtitles

10/10

Last 10 mins is the scariest I've ever felt watching a movie.

1. Black Swan

9/10 - Definitely a must watch and definitely one of the best movies in 2011 (and its still early in the year). Superb acting by Natalie Portman and superb portrayal by both herself and the movie itself.

2. The Fighter

8/10 - This movie definitely felt real. Nothing was over the top. Christian Bale was really good in this. Look at all the muscle he lost. haha... Marky Mark, though one of my favourite actors (he's not great, but he's okay) still gave his usual 'average' performance.

3. The Kings Speech

8/10 - Brilliantly told story. Well-paced. Not for those who doesnt enjoy long scripts and dialogues. Witty and serious at the same time. Who knew a movie about a stuttering king could be so good.

4. Fight Club (yes, i know, i slowpoke)

8/10 - Superb movie. It is fun in its own way. Slightly Mindf*ck. Great plot development. great acting. enjoyed every minute of it.

5. Youth in Revolt

7/10 - Your typical indie teenager movie. Michael Cera has become somewhat of an indie icon. With his usual role as a dork-ish guy in love with a pretty girl and goes thru shit trying to win her heart. A good and fun watch (if indie is ur thing).

6. Date Night

6/10 - pretty sub-par and farfetched storyline. Tina Fey was great but Steve Carrell was kinda annoying. enjoyed this movie but didnt really laugh my ass off.

7. Brothers

7/10 - A sad, depressing and overwhelming movie. The emotion when Tobey Maguire got back from his ordeal was overwhelming. The mistrust, the depression, the hurt. Phew.

8. Hot Tub Time Machine

6/10 - Only worth for a good and mindless laugh. But Good laugh nonetheless.

9. Exam

6/10 - Could have been smarter and better in its presentation, but failed to deliver the killer twist.

10. Dead Poets Society

7.5/10 - It was great how the story tried and succeed in developing each character to a certain extent. It ticked all the boxes in the emotion department. Great movie, definitely.

I know the bluray rip of Black Swan is out, I just watched it again last night, but I really suggest watching it in a cinema. I know there probably isn't a big hall anywhere in the country showing this, but you can catch it in GSC Pavilion- small hall, but the screen is pretty big, and unlike all other GSC/TGV cinemas I've been to, the Pavilion GSC has excellent picture and sound quality. The picture isn't dim.

Watch it in a cinema not because it loses its effectiveness on a small screen (I can assure you it's still every bit as powerful at home), but because Black Swan is one of the finest cinematic experiences I've ever had. From the mesmerizing opening dance sequence filled with foreboding blackness, to the jaw-dropping, head-spinning, soul-crushing final 30 minutes, this film will grip you like no other... provided you give in, provided you are willing to... lose yourself in it.

The following may contain small spoilers, and I recommend not reading until you have watched it.

The plot isn't that much and could be called perfunctory, but what Aronofsky does, how his darting, stalking camera pulls you right alongside Nina and right into her psyche... what he does with human flesh and skin looking so vulnerable to being violated in a very evil manner... and the insane images that manifests all about the film... my god. A long as you're not occupied trying to discern what is real what is not, and accept that it is the intention of the director to keep things blurred, to make Nina's experience yours, it is impossible to turn away from it.

And I can assure you, when the finale finally reaches its climax, you will be so utterly transfixed by what is happening that I could set fire to your dog next to you and you wouldn't move. I was watching this last night and the music (which is f***ing brilliant) was so loud that my mom was yelling for me to turn it down, and I didn't move a muscle. In a way, Requiem for A Dream has a similar effect, but while that finale was singularly bleak and destructive, Black Swan's finale moves in two opposite, incongruous directions simultaneously. You know it's going to be a crushing ending, but you also feel... glad for her. It is STUNNING.

Yeap. A masterpiece.

Sorry if I hyped it up too much, but that's how I feel.

^ couldnt agree more.

I felt really into the movie.

The Tourist [2010]

plain stuff.

weird nomination on last Golden Globe Awards (Musical /Comedy)

Funnily, if u all watched our own Malaysian movie Belukar [2010] (Daphne Iking, Bront Palarae), u'll find the storyline are very identical. totally co-incidental certainly..

Ever After (1998)

Next to Princess Bride, I believe this is one of my most watched movie...

Drew Barrymore deserve some kind of award for her role here.

Also interesting this is Dougray Scott first feature film...

Interesting how he gets pass over for roles like Wolverine and James Bond!!

Retelling of the Cinderelle tales but with women power!!

I cannot find any fault with this movie

It is perfect as it is, acting, script delivery!

If you love a story driven drama movie with a dash of comedy, by all means give this a try!!

You Will Meet A Dark Tall Stranger [2010]

star studded British comedy-drama film (Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Gemma Jones, Freida Pinto, and Naomi Watts)

similarities are far fetch, but this film kinda remind me of Vicky Cristina Barcelona, maturer version.

not as good as i expected, but i can assure you its not boring stuff. the pace are good, the characters are colourful though the story are cliche. 6/10

anitichrist - natalie portman has nothing on charlotte gainsbourg. L.V.T. vastly becoming my fave director. CHAOS REIGNS

dogville + mandelay - fancy some mindfarkin?

black swan - vincent cassel is magnetic. is it me or i wanna punch mila kunis' voice (meg griffin??!!!)

If u watched Darren Aronofsky's previous movie the wrestler, u do feel there some sense of deja vu.

Still, a bloody wonderful double feature from Darren Aronofsky. Let's enjoy before he may do a potential turkey in "The wolverine"

This post has been edited by travis_ckf: Mar 15 2011, 01:12 PM

^i read somewhere, The Wrestler and Black Swan are actually an idea for single film. a couple of wrestler (considered as lowest form of performing art) and ballet dancer (considered as highest form of performing art)..

both great films. Black Swan are definitely better, but if im given a choice to re-watch it again, ill pick The Wrestler..

The Chronicles of Merong Mahawangsa (2010)

I rarely watch Malaysian movie period. The last Malaysian movie I had watched was $ellout. Something has to be said about the marketing for this movie, it had done enough to peak my interest.

I am pleasantly surprise.

Very surprise that with a budget of RM8,000,000 the amount production quality appearing on screen is staggering!!

Please do NOT compare this movie with USD100 Million movie. It is NOT a fair comparison. A more fair comparison would be to compare this with a high budget Thai or Singapore movie, and it does shine.

A word of caution, it is a pretty "bloody" (literally) movie. So might not be suitable for young'uns...

In short I found it entertaining, and from that point of view, it fares well.

For serious history buff, please note, if you don't pick it, you'll enjoy the movie better. (Actually, I did less history picking in this movie, compared to movies like The Mummy and Mummy Return!!)

And there as some blatant boo boos in the movie (please refer to spoiler)



There are certain scenes in the movie that is actually the throw back to old P Ramlee movies!! And THAT is NOT a bad thing!!

Impressive, IMPRESSIVE work KRU. More please?!

If you want a locally produce movie that is highly entertaining, here it is!!

Apart from both lead characters willing to die for their respective art, Black Swan and The Wrestler couldn't be more different. One is a film utterly reliant on acting and devoid of its own character, the other a perfect balance of bravura acting and the director unleashing his full insane vision.

Le Concert [2009] aka The Concert - French

a former Russian top orchestra conductor working as a cleaner at the concert hall where he once directed. one day, he intercepts an official invitation from the prestigious French music hall. he assembles his old pals musician and try to re-live his dream in Paris.

its pretty good movie, powerful music and nice bit of comedy (though im not fully understand the jokes because its in French and Russian). i give 7.5/10.

Rango

This isn't POTC alright, but this is certainly a LOT better than the movies. Very fun, not so kid friendly but fast paced and very punchy. Recommended!

World Invasion: Battlefield L.A. (2011)

Watched this on Wednesday evening and was total a zombie for the next two days... (old already... *Sigh*)

Please note that I really REALLY like Aaron Eckhart's works.

Notice him in Erin Brockvich (2000)

Always though he would make a good Thor.... Cest La Vie...

Okay back to the movie

Yes, if you play first shooter game and get nausea... this movie is NOT for you.

Think Clovefield (Not as bad), Paranormal Activity or last Exorcist.

Would like to add, the above are exaggerations, but you get the idea.

I'm never a fan of war movie. I usually avoid them like the plague. There are exceptions, namely Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan.

The reason I went to watch this movie is the war is with Aliens, not human and the Aliens started it.

This movie is exactly the movie Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise avoided to do, while they made War of the Worlds

I'm not sure if there are "persuasions" from certain quarters in American for movies makers to "justify" the wars that US is involve in.

On an international stage, the wars America had been involve in the past few years, aren't seen as "justifiable"

So, in short this is a feel good war movie?!?

It is entertaining, no question, just not sure if I like the "America can do no wrong" message being shove down my throat....

Bring medication for nausea and lozenges people.

Beastly (2011?)

Let's get what is on anyone mind, when they hear about this movie.

Can Vanessa Hudgens (ingenue??) act?

In a nutshell, NO!

She became popular in High School Musical 1,2, & 3. She and he ex-beau (Zac Efron) made headlines... because they were going out!!

This is suppose to be CBS Film and her vehicle to make it big and... it is a semi-dud...

Alex Pettyfer plays a passable beast

Neil Patrick Harris does what he does in How I Met You Mother

Mary-Kate Olsen, surprisingly truly, TRULY got her part down pat!!! (Witch)

Gosh, she EVEN looks the part!!!!! (*shivers*)

Watch this ONLY if you have nothing better to watch....

man from nowhere [korean, 2011] - yes i do agree the knife fight scene is pretty impressive i reckon right up there with SPL and hunted and how the scene ended, is both original and mind blowing. there's also an awesome one take scene that made me go how the fark did they do it?!!! in my book, the koreans reign in the entertainment superiority department. beware, it's violent til no end.

Can I ask what attracts you to bad movies?

Its a beautifully stunning animation. I love how detailed everything was.
Johnny Depp did a hell of a job with the voice over.

Mean girls 2

My rating : 3.5/5

Its a good movie, if you watched the first movie and love it, then you will love this.

No connection with the first movie however, its still about the plastics

Good movie for both guys and girls. I gave it .5 because it didnt have lindsay lohan in it and the main protagonist is a girl from camp rock 1 & 2.

The fact that they are bad!!!! Clear??

Hotel Rwanda [2004]

i never heard about this movie, not until recently. had multiple nominations for Oscar 2004.

basically had same theme like Schindler's List. a hotel manager bribing numbers of political figure and military top personnel in order to save human lives during Rwandan Genocide in 1990s.

i think the 1st hour are very good, but seem flatten in 2nd hour. 8/10.

Sucker Punch (2011)

Mr. Zack Snyder makes me squirm...

He pushes my movie viewing comfort zone into directions I'm usually don't want to go.

So much so that I have to watch the scene even when I don't want to!!!

He did it, in 300. He did it in Watchmen. He does it in Sucker Punch

I did NOT read ANYTHING to do with this movie.

I'd read 300, when it was first published. I'd read Watchmen about 2 - 3 years after it was first published.

I avoided anything Sucker Punch like the plague because Mr. Zack Snyder makes me squirm...

I didn't know what to expect and the movie hit me like a runaway FREIGHT TRAIN!!!!

The visual! THE MUSIC!!!

Everything and ANYTHING to do with action, fantasy movie and video games, is reintroduce here, only Mr. Zack Snyder does it ON CRACK!!!

Lord of the Ring, I-Robot, Manga Anime, doesn't matter, he marinate them in crank and puts them in the movie and it IS AWESOME.

I finish watching this at 8:30 pm and I'm STILL processing the movie... in my mind... too much information... information overload... does not compute, DOES NOT COMPUTE... ERROR! ERROR!!!!!!
