Tonight watched 2 movies back to back. First movie was GABRIEL. Its a story about battle between archangels and the Fallen (bad angels I guess). The whole story looks like MTV music video with dark city/rain/gloomy alley background. Didnt even bother to watch the last 10 minutes of the show, coz the next movie CLOVERFIELD was starting. All I can say is that GABRIEL is a pass for the movie. Probably worthy to watch in the DVDs, but its abit slow in the story and the fighting scene are nothing to shout about. The only memorable scenes are when the archangel gabriel (in his human form) has a bright blue eye. I bet women would go gaga over the hero.

Cloverfield to me is a stunning and innovative piece of movie making. Its just like Blair Witch project but with bigger budget. Oh and the mysterious entity is not a ghost, but a giant freakin monster (think the host, godzilla, starship trooper). The characters portrays reallike people in the sense that they do not have short takes. Each clips is like 5~10 minutes shots so their blunders, and dialogues feels natural. Lots of humor one liners and the sound effects are superb! Only available in cinemas for now. Word of caution, if you're open to the concept of movie in the view of handy cam, then by all means watch this movie. You'll feel like there are truly monsters in our world.

last movie was the national treasure 2....7/10

It's just that I don't watch that much romance movies really, but I'm interested in anything good, dialogue-ish or not. By the way I have just watched Gone Baby Gone, at the end of the movie I was pretty much speechless. It's crazily good for a first time director. It is everything, even more, than what I imagined it to be. Affleck did a really wonderful job transforming the book into a movie(except the Angela part). And I hope there's more to come.

Juno. Really good, Ellen Page is what a great actress she is btw. the music is great, so is the screenplay and the supporting cast were up there with Page.

Such an emotional movie.

Already watch a 2005 Korean Movie title Jeni, juno.. So after watch the english version of Juno, i still prefer the Korean version..

BTW, yesterday i spent 4++ hours watching Australian Open, almost 2 hours for BPL (MU vs Reading) and another 6 hours watching movie..

These are 3 movies i watched yesterday:

1) The Jammed: 8.5/10
A good movie about human traficking, i prefer this movie compare to another movie with the same theme i.e 'Trade'.

2) Sweeny Todd (2006 released): 9/10
Never bother to watch this movie at first but when i saw advertisement about the new version of this movie featuring Johnny Depp (2008 release), i think i better watch this first so that i can compare btw the two.. Really good movie and it will be a hard task for our Jack Sparrow to make it better..

3) Beowulf: 7.5/10
The story is so-so, but i like the awesomeness of the CGI they are using to produce this movie.. The finger licking good angelina jolie still looks almost 100% real and thus scorchingly hot..

just finis watching rocky balboa 2006...really awesome, make me fall in love with slyvester stallone...i know it sounds gay, but who cares?

A walk to remember. sucks.

LOLX. Why on Earth would anyone watch that? Notebook would be a better choice.

i duno. some of my friends said it was nice but gosh notebook was better but still my fav popcorn romantic flick is Serendipity

Mine is How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Can't wait for Fool's Gold. I adore Kate Hudson.

Did watch The Notebook, but only to watch Rachel McAdams get her tits out. Hahaha.

Last movie watched. 3:10 To Yuma on the plane. Did turn on Balls of Fury after that although I fell asleep as I was tired.

It was a double. You wasted your time

This website I go to say it's nto though. But you don't see much of it ayways. Next on the list. Closing the Ring. Mischa Barton gets em out...Hahaha

I love holidays, watched many movies today One of the movies that I managed to catch today was James Cameron's The Abyss, what an amazing movie.

Can't believe I left the DVD unwatched after almost a year buying it. Seriously I would put this film on par with Aliens, probably better. There's no monster but in Cameron style, it deals with tense human emotions coupled with some great suspense. And Ed Harris is such a great actor, he was brilliant in this one. It's visually stunning and definitely one of the best sci-fi movies ever made.

Harris is a great actor but Abyss was a decent with with good visuals. Nothing more if you ask me and Makakeke, please make the transaction happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Abyss is so under-rated if you ask me. It was brilliant bcz Cameron created a suspenseful film without the horror factor of aliens/monster whatsoever. Sunshine was close to that but failed in the final third. 2001 still sets the bar for a film of this genre.

Yes, it will happen tomorrow, no worries. Just call if anything

yeah, i love The Abyss too. Very good storytelling from James Cameron

I just watched Solaris. Just WOW. Great mindfking... highly recommended.

i am a legend ***
will smith is showing that he is a very capable actor but i felt that he is a camera hog for this movie. there is only 1 real actor in this movie and thats you-know-who. the suspense was quite good but the story seems to be a lil boring at times. if the ending was a lil better i think i might like to watch this movie again. too bad though..

beowulf***
i have great hopes for this movie but when i watch this movie i was really dissapointed. a CGI movie that did not made full use of the talent actors available to it.

dragon wars **
the only reason this movie got 2 stars and not 0 from me was because the visual effects are really amazing considering its not from hollywood-land. the story is absolute rubbish!! just sit back and have someone wake you up when the snake pops out.

The Abyss was such a revolutionary movie because what they did in the movie became true for real deep sea exploration. I'd say Cameron came from the future because how can he know the true concept of deep sea, the correct physics to use in the vehicle and so much more.

The Abyss was great, revolution for CGI too. too bad my dvd is badly scratched and no loner playable.
