Aliens In The Attic (2009)

When you know a movie is about aliens, and it involves animation, you must think, "Gosh... this must be a movie which would be full of laughter", and this is the case in this movie. It's a typical 'kids animated' movie. You have the good aliens, and the bad ones, with the bad human and the good ones. You also have the ignorant sister, and her boyfriend which in frequent cases or movies are a huge bully, and kids, running around doing 'their stuff'

While the movie itself may have a decent and predictable plot, but the comedic elements are worth to mention. There is nothing much to say about the movie, but for what's it worth... you would find it interesting. The only problem was.. it was just so predictable.

Pelham 123

This action thriller is nothing short of fantastic to watch although it may seem to be anti-climax with certain things arguably illogical to be presented. The one thing I really enjoyed most is the big bike riders from the police force whom were entrusted to bring the hostage money to the Pelham 123. Err, actually, Pelham 123 is a train, which arrives at Pelham at 1:23 daily.

The effects in the movie are as usual, top notch, but I was dissatisfied with the lack of reality in the movie. As I said, somethings just don't make sense. Nonetheless, John Travolta and Danzel Washington provide excellent acting here, despite the predictable script line. There is really nothing to shout about in this movie, but I think it would do something to feel boredom perfectly.

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.

Charlie and Me (2009)

Charlie and Me is an enticing movie which everyone could see. It's about Charlie (Tom Bosley) which is the granfather of Casey (Jordy Bannater) and realizes that he is on the verge of death following a heart attack while going out for the movies.

With little time left to buy, Charlie embarks on a journey of living his life to the fullest with his grand daughter, and teaches her so many simple, yet meaningful along the way. With Charlie and Casey bonding very well together,Casey's dad (James Gallenders) felt outcast, and started confronting his father regarding his absence in his daughters life. With Charlie's life moving nearer to ending, things start to work out with Casey and her dad and you have to watch this movie to know what happened.

Anyway, the movie is one of the bet family oriented movies available, and I'd hugely recommend this movie to go with a box of tissue. I really love looking at Tom Bosley's acting here, and I have to admit that he puts the word 'grand' in granpa. A fantastic movie. Trust me.
