Rushmore rocks, man!

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

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.

I actually rank Shrek 1 in the top of Dreamworks list, and in the same podium as the good Pixar movies. Flushed Away and Happy Feet were good animation but it lacks that touch that Pixar always seem to be able to conjure. KungFu Panda was funny though.

I can't remember how the music went actually, will have to rewatch it.

I Love You, Man is by far the funniest movie of the year, even funnier than the much acclaimed The Hangover.

I liked Defiance too but it just didn't managed to reach the heights the likes of The Pianist achieved.

Schindler's List is one of my fav movies, I have to agree with you. It's not just realistic, it's brutally honest.

Ponyo was a good movie but I was actually slightly underwhelmed with it, considering it's a Miyazaki movie. It's the same feeling I got with Totoro ( this i can understand, it's an 80s movie if im not wrong). It's simple, straightforward but it just doesn't bring you to the next level the way Spirited Away or Princess Mononoke did. I'd also recommend Porco Rosso and Naussica.

Match Point - I think I've lost count on how many times I've actually watch this masterpiece. This is perhaps my favorite Woody Allen movie and i think it's because Woody isn't in it hence a different Woody genre altogether. It's classy albeit slow moving. I like the opera soundtracks, the streets of London, the art galleries, the rich family and how they gel together to tell us a haunting and mind pondering movie. The actors were wisely cast and kudos to Woody for writing an awesome screenplay. I particularly liked the last few scenes of the movie where the police came into the picture. I like how Woody made a "satire" out of the whole movie. Great film 4.5/5.

I hated How to Alienate People and Lose Friends. Simon Pegg isn't funny at all being in an American comedy. It was so contrived. How is the script clever and witty without the british influence in it?

No I'm not english, I'm a Malaysian tulen.

No i don't mean the characters in the movie, i'm referring to him as an actor. He was doing more than fine with Edgar in Hot Fuzz, Shaun, etc and when I heard that he's doing a Hollywood film with Megan Fox, I knew the movie will turn out like this - a dry and forgettable film. What I mean with the british influence is because so often their script and writing is much more sharper and wittier than the conventional American comedy. Have you watched Big Nothing? He stars in it with David Schwimmer, now that's also a good comedy. There's nothing original about How to Alienate People and Lose Friends, all they did was made a doofus out of Simon Pegg over and over again and it's not even funny. In other words, it's not a film I would want to watch again. Unless I want to see Megan Fox of course.

Bruno - sh!t written all over it.

I didn't know it could imply in a good way

EDIT: oh, i didn't know i could say shit. Yes, Bruno is the shittiest movie this year.

It's very different from Borat.

Bruno is plain pathetic, it's humour no one can enjoy. In fact, I wonder which person on earth can actually enjoy the entire movie. I admit there are some funny scenes - the imaginary blow job scene was gross and hilarious but other than that NOTHING!

I love Borat. I watched it 5 times or so already. Bruno? Once more than enough.

Banlieue 13 and Banlieue 13-Ultimatum. The former was a great movie. Pulsating, fresh, kinetic and everything an action movie needs. It was like watching Crank and Lock Stock meshed together. The sequel however was a recycled product, nothing original. What a waste of time. My recommendation - watch the first movie.

A Few Good Men is probably the only movie that I acknowledge Jack as a credible actor. That's the truth.

Nope I don't like them both. As good as it gets - what's so great about it? It's just a rom-com for the older folks and Jack was just Jack, i don't understand his and Helen Hunt's Oscar either. Bucket List was a little pushing the limits - it's unbelievable and to be honest, it's kinda tiring seeing him and Morgan Freeman playing the same role for over 30 years now. Maybe not Jack but at least for Morgan.

American Beauty didn't get you?

Not everything is deliberate.
