Mr. and Mrs. Smith

A must see! It was funny and the action was good. No wonder there is an issue going on with Brad and Angelina. Their chemistry is good. The funny twist is how the story revolves around their marriage. Really fun to watch.

Sin City

The title descibes the MTRCB rating. Plenty of sex, some nudity. It is like a series of stories, 3 to be exact, all happening in the same city. Slightly intertwined. Nice story. Interesting cinema effects and use of color in a mostly black and white screen. Its a nice violent movie. Cool but not spectacular. The last movie to see from this week's lineup.

A Lot Like Love

This is an amusing love story spanning 6 years. It was a pleasant boy meets girl flick. Quite liberal and reflective of California values which does not necessarily mean good. Still, it was a pleasant movie. Fun to watch with a significant other.

Shutter

This movie is a story of a guy in Bangkok. The dialogues are in Bahasa (i think) and subtitled in english and japanese. A thriller with a moderately good plot and good direction. Hope you guys dont mind my very vague entries since i do not want to reveal anything that will spoil your experience when you watch the movie. It uses real ghost pictures. Nice to watch but you can do without it.

Madagascar

A humorous cartoon! Really liked it. The tune sang by the lemur is catchy. The lines are hilarious. A must see for kids and adults alike. Great choice of voice talents.

Unleashed

Simple plot. Interesting choice of location and actors. Jet Lee's moves are ... basic. Not as entertaining as Jackie Chan. Still, the movie was ok. You can go without watching it.

Star Wars Episode III

Hmmmmm..... Nothing to say but its star wars and i like it. Finally it is complete. I really had to go pee while in the movie but i didnt want to miss anything so i held it in. I like the effects which is basically what one is after when you watch star wars. I have heard a lot of comments about their acting. I just didnt care about how they emoted. Maybe they had too much of Anakin crying but nuff about that. Now i want to get all 6 movies and watch them back to back ;)

Sahara

This is a fun action movie about treasures, a plague and industrial disasters. Dirk Pitt (Matthew McConaughey) is the adventurer in search of a legendary iron battleship, Doctor Eva Rojas (Penelope Cruz) is the WHO representative investigating the plague affecting some african villages and Steve Zahn plays the sidekick of Dirk Pitt. In my opinion, Steve Zahn should have gotten equal billing because he did quite a bit of the work and was more fun to watch. 3/5 ratings :) You can go without watching this but if you do, expect some fun :) not a total waste of money.

Finding Neverland

There were more than a handful of teary eyes when the movie ended. It was funny and heart-warming. The child who played Peter, Freddie Highmore, deserves an award. It has a great story and i liked Johnny Dep in this one (this as compared to the trailers i see with Willy Wonka). 5 stars. You have to see this.

XXX2

Cool movie. Just as much action as i anticipated but not as much gadgets. Some parts were quite humorous. Comments while leaving the movie house were "they didnt even say how vin diesel died," "parang kulang." I agree to the latter. The ending could have been better.

Ring of the Nibelungs

This is a nordic love story with adventures of Dragon-slaying and magic put in. It was a nice movie. The hero isnt that much of an actor. Reminded me of Arnold and Sylvester. The queen, a great nordic beauty, moves marvelously. Note that Iceland is supposed to be green and Greenland is the one full of ice and snow. Wish it ended differently but it was nice nonetheless.

Miss Congeniality 2

I liked this movie. It is a very good sequel. Sandra Bullock is still one of the prettiest girls i know and quite funny. Here she starts out continuing her work but her fame is not helping. The FBI Director assigns her to be "the new face of the FBI" with a partner/bodyguard that has an attitude problem. The partner, whoever she is, needs acting lessons in my opinion. Anyway, in the middle of it all, her Ms. America friend gets kidnapped and the story goes on from there. Again, its a great movie that you should watch. Stay for the bloopers at the end of the movie ;)

The Pacifier

This movie is totally entertaining. 5/5. My companion said that there were times when Vin Diesel would be overacting but i didnt see it. I was just enjoying the funny lines and antics. Dont expect earth shaking theories and deep sentiments. It is just plain comedy. The trailers are very misleading. The things you expected based on the trailer are not how it is in the movie but it didnt make it bad. You should watch it.

Robots

Amazing graphics! Really funny lines. Really love Robin Williams. His mark was unmistakable. A must see if you have kids or just want to laugh. The story revolves around Young Copperbottom and his journey to his dream. In the city, he meets people, a problem and some bad guys. I give it a 5/5 rating. You must see this. :)

Cursed

We were hesitating when we decided to watch this movie. I thought it was a sci-fi horror flick. To our surprise, it was a teen meets werewolf movie. Cristina Ricci played a very interesting role. It wasnt very full of substance but it was entertaining. It is good enough to watch if you dont have anything else to watch. I would rate it a 3/5.

Hostage

This movie is a story of, as the trailer shows, 3 teen thugs trying to rob a house and ending up with more than they bargained for. The show has a lot of twists and it was generally what we expected from a movie entitled Hostage with Bruce Willis in it. He did pretty well. It was fun and didn't get boring. The ending didnt leave us wanting for more. The opening credit sequence was actually cool so watch out for it. I'll rate this a 4/5 movie.

Final Cut

Watched final cut last night. Robin Williams is great. The story is quite interesting. This is a sci-fi what-if movie. The premise is what if there exists an implant attached to a baby's brain which will record everything it sees and hears. How will it affect the person after he or she is told that at the end of his/her life, someone will see everything that happened. The problem with the movie is the ending. It could have been much better rather than the senseless way thay did it now.

The Aviator

This movie is have-to-go-to-the-bathroom too long but you would want to go back. It wasnt fabulous but it was entertaining. It is the story on the life of aviation pioneer Howard Hughes played by Leonardo di Caprio. Kate Beckinsale is gorgeous in this movie as she plays Eva Gardner. I would say go watch it if you have nothing else to watch.
