Just watched an old movie
Harold and Kumar: Go to White Castle

i wasn't expecting an oscar-worthy movie, this movie doesn't disappoint me(despite not oscar-worthy),
after the first twenty minutes i already can guess where this movie is heading, but it never fails to tickle me
good piece of entertainment (got more than what i expected)

7.3 out of 10

an american crime

The last movie I watched was The Medallion. Hehe! Last night on TV3.

As for recently released movies, then it's Twilight. I liked the book, I like Pattinson, I don't like the Jacob actor, I'm not sure about Kristen Stewart, and I'm not sure if I liked the movie or not. I only watched it once and almost fell asleep during the scenes where Edward and Bella kept staring at each other. So..................boring! Why do they have to stare at each other for so darn long???

But despite all that, I'm waiting for the movie to come out on DVD. I'm also curious about how the 2nd movie, New Moon, will turn out since the director has been changed and is it true that the Jasper character will be played by a different actor too?

RocknRolla

I like British gangster films, and I'm a big fan of Guy Ritchie's first two movies, so naturally I was very happy when I found out that he was going back to his roots with this movie.

As per usual with his movies, you are overwhelmed by a big cast of characters, and with the frenetic pace it might be hard to understand everything that is going on the first time. But as always once you finally settle in the fun really starts. And there is nothing more to say than that - if you liked Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, you will most probably like this too. The formula stays unchanged, and that's not a bad thing at all.

However, what makes the first two movies so fantastic is the cast, together with sharp as a needle and witty british dialogue, and of course the plot which sees characters double cross and triple cross. And all that is still here, but in lesser amount. The cast isn't as fun nor as likeable as the other bunch. That's not to say they are bad, but Gerard Butler and co simply do not compare to Jason Statham, Vinnie Jones, Brad Pitt, del Toro, Alan Ford, Stephen Graham, Dexter Fletcher et al. I've never liked Thandie Newton, and she definitely didnt do anything here to change that. The strongest performance here is probably by Tom Wilkinson, but even his Lenny is surpassed by Hatchet Harry and Dog when it comes to intimidation, and Brick Top is both funnier and more terrifying than him.

The dialogue itself isn't as smart and funny as well. It is mostly good, sometimes very good, but falls a bit short of my expectations. Something else I noticed is that the movie takes itself just a wee bit seriously this time around, and I wished that it was funnier. The plot is also less punchy than the other two and the little quick jabs of irony is mostly lost in this one.

But it's still a Guy Ritchie Gangster movie, you get all the colourful characters, the cockney accents, some trademark cool Ritchie direction, and in the end the very bad guys get what they deserve, and the less bad guys go home with a smile, and that's enough for me to recommend it. Fun movie, for sure.

4/5

Let The Right One In 8.5/10

Religulous 7.5/10

Oh man..this comedy got bond wif Oscar??!!

I felt it just wasted my hours.. I really wonder how come it have a second episodes.. But it is 4 years later though.

I wouldn't feel like recommend to anyone who are into comedy movie. I found no parts which can showing the charmed in this movie.

At least Zohan got its brilliant moment in some parts.

ok.. i admit i am low-taste in comedy sometimes. haha.. But Zohan did rocks my socks.. in a strange/embrassing way.. but there are extreme ways from him still i feel disgusted. Well, if Zohan is not Adam Sandler. I wouldn't even think to watch it finished.

Anyway, better than Disaster movie. That one can destroy my life and make my brain polluted. The ending songs made me blush completely. Makes me feels like homo.

I had a pretty rollercoaster emotionally swifting in this weekend.
Saturday Morning - slumdog Millionare, After dinner - Harold & Kumar + Disaster movie, Midnighte - 7 pounds.

I am a movie garbage.

7 pounds just made me a gloomy Sunday.

Zack and Miri make a porno

not bad as a comedy. Lotsa sex scenes... It's kinda funny...
Zack and Miri were housemate and they were so broke that they were unable to pay the water and electric bills for several months. In term to get money quickly, they decided to film a porno. In the making process, both Zack and Miri felt in love.

i would rate 4.5/5 as a comedy... The sex scenes helped alot...


The Rockers

It's about a drummer was in a 80's rock band and got dumped by his bandmates due to certain reason. 20 years later, his nephew needed a drummer in a band, so he was asked to play for them. Who knows that they suddenly became famous and asked to play an opening for his previous band in a concert. Conflict happened; Will he play for it? Can he handle his 20-year anger to the band?

3.8/5 as a comedy.

The Godfather, again. haha...

The last movie that I watched is ' The Mirror '. The opening of the movie is very nice and excited.

check this movie out>>>SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE..

really2 interesting to watch..i'll would give this movie 9.5 out of 10

yesterday i watch Sleepy Hollow, for the lulz, classic but nice , fight off with the headless horseman

8/10

last ovie i watch is Punisher War Zone.

i have a soft spot for comic adaptation. good or bad, i'll try to watch. War Zone unfortunately is one i wish was never made. Kinda kill Frank Castle completely. 3 movies 3 flop. i think Punisher will stay off big screen for a while now.

i suggest you approach this movie as a comedy and you might enjoy a few moment.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Quite a delightful romance/comedy, with nice sun-drenched photography which radiates heat, and good performances from all the actors. Bardem and Penelope Cruz in particular are terrific. Very good film.

Happy Go Lucky
I didnt give a damn throughout this. There isnt much which happens in the movie, and I totally found the main character not appealing. I really wanted to give a her a tight slap during the driving scenes. Disappointing.

The 40-year Old Virgin
Utterly hilarious and till now still the best product of the Apatow factory.

Training Day
Denzel Washington is enough reason to watch this. He shifts between charm and terror so effortlessly, you really feel afraid for Ethan Hawke.

Get Smart
I didnt expect to like this so much. Highly enjoyable and funny, it's good to see a spy comedy/spoof which doesnt completely render its hero as a buffoon ala Johny English.

you missed the point of the movie then, it was meant to annoy you and by succeeding to do so, it succeeded.

I fail to see how a movie that aspires to annoy its audience can be called good.

Dude doesn't the title of the movie already gave it away? She was carefree, unconcerned and the fact that she was annoying in the driving scenes all the more made her perfect for the role. It was meant to annoy you, so to speak

When I saw the words "happy go lucky", I didn't think of "insensitive", "living in her own world", "rude", "irritating". Not only does she live in her own bubble, but she wishes to encompass everyone else in that bubble of hers as well! She's like that person who goes to funerals with a big smile on the face, asking everyone else "why the long faces?"

I'm not saying it's a bad performance by Sally Hawkins, I'm saying the traits inherent to the characters itself makes this unwatchable (for me at least).

About the only thing I really liked in the film was Eddie Marsan as the driving instructor.

yeah slumdog millionaire is great! watch this too, shawshank redemption. old film hehe

well i enjoyed it, i thought the subtle transformation of Poppy at the end of the movie after her argument with the instructor was well made. she was the essence of the movie and i thought she pulled it off damn well.

I'll agree with you that the film was better (or could have been better) after the argument, but too little too late...
