Amistad (1997,  R)
Amistad
strong,powerful performances by an all-star cast. Loads better than Amazing Grace, another film about slavery.
105
Twilight (2008,  PG-13)
Twilight
No idea to catergorise this under "romance" or 'horror" as the vampires are not really that scary, in fact, I find it weird when they bared their teeth at each other and there are no fangs. Haha but Edward's is pretty enchanting hence the extra 1/2 star. The story is fast-paced and easy to understand, but it is slightly different from the book. If you had the time to read the book, you would know more in depth about this story.Good casting of characters and nicely shot scenes. loved the dark and gloomy surreal atmosphere also.

Coco avant Chanel (Coco Before Chanel) (2009,  PG-13)
Coco avant Chanel (Coco Before Chanel)
a bit diappointed that this film features mainly on coco's love life between 2 men instead of more on the fashion side. But then, its "coco BEFORE chanel" so do not expect much. Decent acting overall though.
116
Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl (1999,  R)
117
(500) Days of Summer (2009,  PG-13)
118

Bakjwi (Thirst) (2009,  R)
121
Kataude mashin gâru (The Machine Girl) (2008,  Unrated)
Kataude mashin gâru (The Machine Girl)
its funny when its a funny gore splat slasher violent film with a well-endowed schoolgirl as the protogonist and yet , it gets more enjoyable the more they tried to be serious. a Gem. though b-rated movie. screw the rating and watch it anyway.
122
Julie & Julia (2009,  PG-13)
123
Cheri (2009,  R)
Cheri
Michelle still looks astonishing. But there's way too much talking and the film is not passionate enough. Not much sex scenes either.
124
My Sister's Keeper (2009,  PG-13)
My Sister's Keeper
overhyped due to the book.I think that although the actors were great, the story is just a seemingly normal tear-jerker and just a sad tale. It is predictable towards the middle part to the end.
125
City of Life and Death (2009,  Unrated)
City of Life and Death
saw the original 1920s original in black and white before. This disappoints.the lead actor died way too early in the film. similar mostly compared to the original but the ratings are based on the potrayal of characters by skilled actors who made their roles believeable.
126
Michael Jackson's This Is It (2009,  PG)
127
Roz (Pink) (2006,  Unrated)
Roz (Pink)
a seemingly mundane film about wild punk poetess, pink, searching for the perfect life partner by marrying 3 of her friends, as word have it : Third time lucky! This will disappoint most people who watched it expecting more, or something different.
128
The Countess (2008,  Unrated)
129
A Mighty Heart (2007,  R)
A Mighty Heart
One of Angelina Jolie's stunning feats. About the true story of American-Jewish journalist Daniel Pearl who was kidnapped by terrorists in Pakistan and cut into 10 pieces plus beheaded in response to iprotest the inhumane treatment of terrorists imprisoned at Guantamano Bay.Sad, tragic but inspiring tale.
