Gulliver's Travels [2010]

The movie does not 'wow', but it does entertain.  You'd be smiling with the scenes, but you won't find your tummy aching from laughter. The storyline was cool enough, a little far from the original classic, but the changes are welcomed.  Unfortunately though, the movie is good and safe for kids, which also means there are a lot of silly scenes.  From an adult point of view, the ending was rather disappointing, but the kids would be happy. I for once felt it could be better.  I watched the movie in 3D, and I felt it was a waste of 3D technology as 2D would be sufficient.

He's Just Not That Into You (2009)

This movie was recommended by Dinang after I reviewed Definitely, Maybe. First off, I'd like to say that this movie shows how desperate women are in getting married. Well, it does seem that way in the first few scenes anyway. The story revolves around 3 couples which have issues of their own while highlighting issues such as trust, marrieage, love and passion.

Although the movie does seem rather slow, but this is a movie which grows on to you. Frankly speaking, I felt that the movie was going no where and it was just a typical romance comedy movie, until... well, the ending.

I have watched this movie twice and everytime, I get this overwhelming feeling which I'm uncertain off at the end of the movie. It is just beautiful, that it seems so unreal. The part I like best was the proposal made by Neil (Ben Affleck) to Beth (Jennifer Aniston), which was so darn romantic I wish it was me making such a move. My final verdict: A movie which would kill time, and worth to watch.

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past [2009]

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is a charming movie revolving around Corner Mead whom is a playboy and has so many past girlfriends. The story moves on with Corner being shown 3 life times in his life, namely his past, present and future, which initially makes him realize about what he has been loosing out on, and what his priorities should be. I know, the plot sound really familiar with that old Christmas story by Charles Dickens, which is 'A Christmas Carol', and yet... it is, but with a twist.

The whole movie is rather slow, but you should bear with it as the movie starts getting interesting when Corner finally meets up with his past girlfriends which come to him in the form of ghost. Nonetheless, the plot gets very clear once Corner is shown his past and present life with Jenny Perotti, in which he sees the anguish and sadness he has caused the one girl he has un-knowingly loved for his life time.

Honestly, this is not a 'wow' rated movie, nor it is one of the best romantic comedy movies which strikes the heart. The plot is easy to read once you are introduced to Corner's ghost of the past, and that kills off most of the excitement. Nonetheless, the build up of the movie is solid, and it is worth a watch. For what's it worth, I think the message of the movie is well in tact, and that this movie is a really good lesson for those whom don't believe in love, or take love for granted.

17 Again [2009]

17 Again isn't the best of all movies to be honest. The plot is very much predictable, and I felt that so much more could be done. Nonetheless, regardless of all that, it is a decent watch altough you will not find your eyes feeling teary or your tummy aching from laughter. In fact, most of the comedic scenes do not come from the main character which is played by Mike (Zac Efron), but rather by his best friend (Ned) whom continueously tries to impress Mike's new principal with huge and expensive gifts. Other stuff in the movie does seem rather ordinary to be honest.

Apart from that, the movie fails to make any decent impact as I couldn't fit myself into the shoes of the cast. Altough I do acknowledge that the movie is based on fantasies, sort of like Lindsay Lohan's Freaky Friday, but this movie doesn't make the cut, and is less impressive than Freaky Friday. Some segments of the movie felt too good to be true, while others were felt so fake that I thought "in real life, it wouldn't happen like that". In fact, I did feel that Zac was trying too hard in his acting.

Em, not all is lost with this movie as I really liked the ending, which I personally thought was romantic. The best moments in the movie must be when Mike expressed his feelings in the hallway of the gym, and also him reading a letter of his fond memories in court. Well, if you are a huge fan of Zac Efron, they maybe you would want to catch this flick, but if you are looking for something deeper, I'd suggest a good One Tree Hill series.

Definitely, Maybe (2008)

Definitely, Maybe is a romantic comedy movie which is so subtle and gentle, that you will find it amazingly awesome. Despite being one of those movies which focus a lot on love and romance, the movie does not fail to impress with its turn of events making it a movie different from many. Frankly speaking, I found this movie fantastic, and I’d recommend it to many.

The fact that it does actually reflect what some of us are going through does make the movie feel so real and incredibly are touching. There are some important details left here and there, but it is not as significant as the theme of the movie, which I think should be “Love beats all odds”. In addition to that, I love the character brought up Isla Fisher a.k.a April in the movie. Yeah, the plot is a little predictable, but it is worth to watch. Definitely, Maybe is a definite recommendation.

If you have a girlfriend, and want to watch a movie at home, this is the best one to see... while cuddling at home.

Paul Blart Mall Cop [2009]

Paul Blart Mall Cop is a nice family movie. Despite having trailer which may seem to give the impression the the movie is largely based on comedy, my observation generally differs. The story line is strong and easy to understand, but there are moments when I feel that the movie could be greater.

On a positve note, I did enjoy the movie, but I do not think it is worth to see in the cinema. One thing special in the movie is the moves and also stunts made by the robbers whom display fantastic if not awesome extreme sport jumps and moves.

The ending was mediaroce, and rather romantic, but it will not give you 'the feel'. Overall, a decent movie, but it will not score any box office any time soon.

The Love Guru

Caught it @ STAR CINEPLEX, KUCHING
Its 1 HOUR & 28 MINUTES of SEXUAL HUMOUR!!
You should catch it because you WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT SEXUAL ACRONYMS.
You should not watch this movie if you WANT TO MAKE FUN OF JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE.

If you plan to bring your kids for this movie, well, don't!! Seriously... unless you want your kids to grow up knowing what "BLOWME" means, literally. After all, it is rated as 18PL.

Yeah, I know, you'll be screaming "Its Mike Myers!!!", but I seriously doubt you'd enjoy this... unless of course your into these sort of jokes.

Not wanting to be so "closed minded", I felt that this movie over did it when it comes to sex jokes. I felt the movie was way worst than Kung Fu Panda, and I felt that I was disappointed. Nonetheless, if you are a huge anti-Justin Timberlake fan, you should catch this movie because I have never seen Justin Timberlake seem so gay, and you would enjoy making of fun of him for years to come.

My verdict? Urrghh.. skip this.... its just so lame.. and a waste of Jesicca Alba's acting skills.
