QUOTE Karen Effiel is an author writing her latest novel about an isolated man named Harold Crick. What she doesn't know is that her fictionalized character is real. The real Harold Crick is an IRS agent who has lived a dull existence and one day begins to hear Karen's voice as she narrates what she puts on paper to what Harold has and is doing.
Because of this Harold enlists the help of a literary professor to find out what is happening and ends up changing things about his life including beginning a relationship with his IRS client, a government-hating bakery owner named Ana Pascal. Harold, however, finds trouble when he hears that Karen plans to kill him. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0420223/Heard good things about this movie. Maybe I'll watch in the cinema.

But the only other movies worth watching now would be Blood Diamond, which I've just seen yesterday, and which is a great film, and also Babel. I really want Babel but I fear it will the censors will butcher it. Ah malaysian theaters... wish I was in Singapore. They even had Pan's Labyrinth there as early as November I think!

To be needed as The Sand's Kazekage

Just watched it. Honestly, I think it's a good watch. A really meaningful movie. I really thought the ending was gonna suck and spoil what was, up till then, a great movie. Until she narrated the ending and I realized how meaningful it was. Sometimes less is more.

I think this is a nice movie to watch. Not a top class one but it does have a nice storyline and an interesting plot to it. I'll only rate it a 7.5/10 movie though. Will Farrell just can't act in these kind of movies. He should just stick to movies like Talladega Nights

the first time i saw Will Farrell was in Be-witched. He was annoying. After second watched dat movie, i started to understand his humour style.
2nd times, saw him in ELF. He made my day.
Yesterday, i watched Stranger than Fiction. He is completely not a crazy dude anymore. He only back to his "normal" react for certain scenes but not all the times which he usually does. Der are a few peacefully giggles for his silly respond.
This movie is strange & out of this world. Even though the whole movie place in a real world. If u are guys into John Malkovich, Adaptation, Broken Flower, Lost in Translation. This is definately a should watch. The Ending is not dat great at least it is a warmness ending. it did not broke my heart though.
So, it would sounds boring for ppl who usually dun accept weird & narrator type of movie. And it is slow-paced to develop story's motive into audience's mind.
Enjoy the Special text effects bout Farrell daily routine. It is cool. The last time i saw this effects was from Fight Club.
