My Rating: 4 / 5 Plot Outline: Wesley is an ordinary guy in a desk bound job. Suffering from constant anxiety attacks, he resolved his problems by popping pills. That aside, his personal life is...without saying anything yet conveying everything builds up the nice tension between the two characters. Fox's story telling scene, Wesley's revenge scene comes gloriously together to form a nice touchdown.
The Incredible Hulk My Rating: 3.5 / 5 Plot Outline: Bruce Banner who had been changed radically from gamma ray poisoning is on the run from the government. He trains himself mentally and physically... I was surprised that the production used some real middle eastern music. Or at least, sounded middle eastern to me. But the soundtrack might just be worth getting (or sourcing online...).
Sex and The City My Rating: 3.5 / 5 Plot Outline: The four women are back with a vengence in their new movie. Better than a half hour episode, Sex and the City depicts Carrie's impending marriage...to the mix. In all, I must say that Kung Fu Panda is a celebration for those kiddos who love to imagine themselves as kung fu masters! Go watch it now. This has got to be my longest reviews ever
Taxidermia My Rating: 4 / 5 Plot Outline: Taxidermia chronicles characters spanning over three generations of obssesions. The grandfather is a sex addict, the father has an issue with speed...the cover of the comic. I did some background study and together with a crash course from a fellow comic fan, I managed to glean some history on Tony Stark. I must say that Robert Downey Jr (>.
My Rating: 3.5 / 5 Plot Outline: Two idiots were on their way to Amsterdam when they were mistaken as terrorists. They escape from prison and encounter many silly and comical adventures along the...approached in a very spastic and insensitive manner. Quite like the first movie. So, if you can accept White Castle, you will definitely like this movie. I did laugh for almost the entire screening.
This is a god damn back log. I decided I shall forgo the other movies before these... although I hate leaving things out. The Kite Runner My Rating: 4 / 5 Plot Outline: The two main characters of...unexplained. There was zilch character development. Redeeming factors were the special effects, action and interesting props. Probably watch it when you have exhausted your list of movies to watch
My Rating: 4 / 5 Plot Outline: Tom Ludlow is a cop who will use any means to ensure that justice is served. He was maligned by his own people when he starts investigating a best friend's murder that...However, the cop in Street Kings does resembles the cop in Speed. Despite that, I marvelled at his cemented anger and the callousness at which he disposed of the villains. Great movie. Must watch!
My Rating: 3.5 / 5 Plot Outline: A deadly virus had wiped out a huge portion of the British population. In order to control the spread, the government had built a wall and...that, I still enjoyed watching Doomsday, if only for the eye candy and the sleek fighting sequence. The female lead was gorgeously toned, making me god damn envious of that hot bod. ^_^
Please do keep in mind that my rating is not based on how block buster like a movie is, nor is it based on how Oscar-deserving it should be. Rather, I always felt that a good movie connects with the audience...period movie. Rob Minkoff is one great director. After watching the movie, it feels like he had grown up obsessively watching Asian kung fu movies. Go watch the movie, his passion is infectious.
Rule #1 My Rating: 3 / 5 Plot Outline: A cop gets severely injured after discovering a body in the boot of a serial killer's car. Being able to see ghosts and spirits after the incident,...good thing is that it is the first local movie with an awesome soundtrack. If you are the type who digs romance chick flick, you will probably not want to miss The Leap Years .
