GI JOE... lots of action...!!!

You know what, not many people do!

And I have to add, I like it LOT.

Andy Wachowski & Larry Wachowski made it for they inner child, and people who has not lost their appreciates that!!

Nuff said.

SR was real fun, I pity those who overlooked its "cartoonish" outlook.

Broken Embraces

most might not be familiar with this if they're not exposed to spanish cinema. this is the latest masterpiece of the oscar award winning director pedro almadovar staring (again) penelope cruz. it's a brilliant drama with a twist of mystery that takes u into the life of a blind film maker and those around him.

it's a heavy drama, takes u one step at a time, and tells the story passionately. the visual ambience is enhanced by the choice of music that is very almadovar. if u've seen his previous work "Volver", u'd know what i mean. it's a brilliant film, very satisfying even for me who's not so much into drama.

verdict: 8/10



and owh, u get to see penelope cruz' marvelous twin assets.

District 9,

they look more like roaches than prawns.

UP,

heartwarming and fun show. very worth it !

D-9.

@Cheesenium
Where do u watch Inglorious Bastards? Outside of malaysia?

I watched it outside Malaysia.

It's draggy in some sense,but it's fun.

aiyo........so nice...

yr rating on it??

i give it 8.5/10.

Some parts are very intelligent.

Just watched Princess Protection Program starring Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato..
Id give 6/10.
Its a girly thing.
Im a dude guys.
Still wondering why i could watch that movie.

watched crank 2..got "buah-buahan" everywhere.. lol

Taken

Wow. A very UNDERRATED movie.

Liam Neeson does a good job as an ACTION star.

Good action thriller storyline. Good acting. Highlights the seedy side of France, Paris!!

Recommend this to thrill seekers!

Its not underrated at all. If memory serve me right it got good reviews from critics, and audiences everywhere love it. It's a very entertaining flick, and Neeson is just badass.

Sunshine Cleaning - Only saw this because of Alan Arkin and Amy Adams. Turned out to be very good. Nicely paced and acted, its the kind of movie that doesnt break any new ground but leaves you with a nice smile and no regrets spedning the last 90 minutes watching it. 4/5

Brick - Didnt start off well for me, maybe because I wasnt used to the matching of noir to a high school setting, but about half an hour in everything begins to click and after that its an engrossing and a very different take on the crime/detective genre. Some of the dialogue is just rapid though, and I dont really understand everything in the end, but this doesnt hurt the movie really. A unique film. 4.5/5

I'm sorry, I should have made myself clearer. What I meant by underrated was that it should have made ALOT more in terms of Box Office (> US Box Office of USD 145,000,989)!

The Last House on the Left (2009)

Bad things happen to good people and then good people turned bad-ass!!

Saw the unrated version and boy is it VIOLENT!!

Interesting to see Tony Goldwin (great grand son of Metro Goldwyn Mayers also know for his role of @zzhole in Ghost and Disney's "Hm Hm Hm Tarzan"!) as father roles and the kid from Gladiator and Unbreakable all grown up!

If you like VIOLENT movie, the unrated version of this movie is for u (especially the closing scene!!!)

The closing scene as in the microwave scene? It was such a stupid and ridiculous scene lah.. The movie was overall just decent entertainment.

btw, 150 million is actually quite a good turnover, some good films (Oscar films) never pass the 100 million mark.

My last was Kungfu Cyborg and I don't know why I watched that ~_~
Freaking horse s**t of a movie

Well, i thought that the ending is a little CRUDE but effective way of getting rid of the baddies!!

Yes, USD 150M is respective, but if it had made alot more, then movie studio would make more movie like Taken (that I'm assuming cost USD 80M - USD100M to make or District 9 [which cost USD 30M to make] for that matter) then movie I don't know like Transformer 2 which made USD 398,441,218 to date but cost USD200M to make and market!! (*Sigh*). Movie companies HAVE TO LEARN that a movie with GREAT stories and well made (Below USD 100M) are BETTER then more Transformer (the horror, the horror, 3 & 4????!?)

My two sens!

Added on August 31, 2009, 4:50 pmQuick question Quickfire, I know you usually don't like animation from other company (eg Dreamworks etc) but what did you think of Kungfu Panda and Happy Feet?

Added on August 31, 2009, 5:21 pmJust re watched Happy Feet on BD.

It's great movie except for the overly optimistic ending!

Also would have like to see an actual making of the movie!

Two Thumbs up!

I like myself some gore, but the microwave was so obviously tacked on, and its not helped by the rubbish CGI either.

Actually I like some of the Dreamworks stuff like Shrek, Bee Movie, Flushed Away, and Kung Fu Panda. Those are okay. But they are grossly inferior to anything Pixar has put out, yet most people I know say things like "Pixar cartoons ah... okay okay lah... not bad, but Dreamworks much better lah. So much funnier".

...

Never seen Happy Feet.

P/S: Now that you've mentioned Kung Fu Panda, I might rewatch it again sometime this week.

Because that is purely based opinion..so I see nothing wrong if people prefer over x over y and vice versa.

You should have seen the deleted scene of that scene on the DVD/BD!!

I like the First Shrek, Flush Away and Kung Fu Panda.

Wow, if you haven't watched happy Feet, I can only imagine how you would react after watching it! (I can still remember the FIRST time I watch it!!)

Go on, give yourself a treat and watch it!!
