Super 8 (2011)

Does anyone here remember watching E.T. Extra Terestial when it first came out at the cinema?

Of course not, everyone here is 18 yo and below... *sigh*

Anyway, go watch Super 8 and u get an experience very close to that

Think Close Encounter of the Third Kind + ET + Cloverfield

I categories it as a drama suspense movie, emphasis on drama

Be warned when u are fully immerse in the movie!!!! It is over

Highly recommended

Please stay for the end credit. It is HIGHLY entertaining

The Hurt Locker (2008)

I do not and could not understand why this movie stole the thunder from James Cameron's Avatar at the Oscars back then. Although Avatar was mainly eye candy but it was pretty impressive eye candy. This movie however defied any classification from me.

I am a pretty patient guy. Especially when it comes to watching a movie in the comfort of my own home on DVD with no one around to bother me. Having said that, The Hurt Locker managed to break one of my records - it became the one and only movie that I could not sit through even when I was watching it at home. So far this record had stood.

The movie is about the war in Iraq. It focuses on a particular bomb disposal squad. One member died early in the movie and then there's this obnoxious replacement that does things his way and defies orders and shows how macho he was in the field. I don't get the point. All I see is one obnoxious bomb disposal officer and the pacing is boooooooooooorrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnggggggg!

After about 60 minutes into the movie with no obvious plot, I hit the off button on my DVD player.

Rating : 0 out 5 stars

The Usual Suspects (1995)

How do you get your hands on an amazing script, a whole stable of great actors and also have a reasonable budget in 1995 for your directorial debut?

The answer is, you have to be Bryan Singer.

For the life of me, I don't know why I have only watch this movie NOW!!!

Everything is delivered!

There is absolutely, positively not wrong with this movie (well there are some goofs, but as far as story, acting and editing is concern), NOTHING. This movie is categorise as a mystery and boy is it ever!!!

Bryan Singer, is still showing alot of directors, how it is done, with this little gem!!

I cannot recommend this movie enough!!

Like always, My Two Sen.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty:

Awesome cinematography and soundtrack... Each frame is like a master stroke. Those are the merit. Acting wise so so... few characters feels like cartoon / card boardish. As for the plot it's a tad too predictable for my taste. Overall still a good watch for this festive season.

Rating: 3/5

* Can't wait for American Hustle and The Wolf of Wallstreet
