i love watching movies. people i know sort of think i have weird taste in movies since i would rather watch a horror film over a romantic comedy but jumping out of my seat or surpressing a scream is more fun to me than going ga-ga over a mushy scene.

Ok, this is probably the funniest horror flick i've ever seen..and it's not even meant to be funny!
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (Hellboy 2)
PG-13
Again, a visual masterpiece from Guillermo del Toro. Maybe a bit too much cgi for my taste but is still a very enjoyable piece of entertainment. I thought Hellboy was a lot funnier here compared to the first movie. Abe was pretty cool too. I don't know if its good, but I'm beginning to like Doug Jones better when he is in a costume and when the character he plays is voiced by a different actor. ^_^ There wasn't really much going on story-wise so I guess they compensated for it by investing on the graphics, which IMO was a bit of a disappointment.

The Dark Knight
PG-13
Not that I'm joining the bandwagon or anything but I must say that this film absolutely lived up to all the hype it created prior to its release. I've seen all the Batman movies that have been made (well, only those beginning from the one which starred Michael Keaton) and I do admit that I have enjoyed watching each one of them. this recent installment would probably be the most chaotic and disturbing of them all, but it might also be the most heart-wrenching. The movie started great, viewers get to see what atrocities the Joker is capable of, but I thought the next few minutes were a bit dragging. But all that can be forgiven since the rest of the movie was full of twists and turns that you would feel as if the Joker is playing one of his jokes on you. Christian Bale, IMO, takes the place of Michael Keaton for being the best actor who played the caped crusader (yup, Keaton was my favorite Batman, lol). Bale's performance was very subtle, yet gripping and strong. Heath Ledger, indeed, gave the performance of his life on this film. His role on Brokeback Mountain may have been difficult, but his portrayal of the Joker is no doubt the best I've seen him in. I would not say that he did better than Jack Nicholson since I think they played the role differently. Nicholson was the more the playful, whimsical type, while Ledger was a lot darker, more like vengeful and uncaring. Aaron Eckhart was a big surprise for me. I didn't think he can make that transition from a good guy to villain but he was just as convincing. The rest of the cast, returnees such as Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine provided a strong support cast that made the movie even more brilliant. Now will there be a next one? Unlike the end of Batman Begins, there was a tell-tale sign of a sequel. As for this one...I really didn't see any or I might have just missed it therefore, gives me a good reason to go back to the cinema and watch it again. Which I certainly be most happy to do. :D

I Am Sam
PG-13
i seldom watch dramatic films but this movie pulled a string in my heart. i feel so much for penn's character because it shows how great love is that it can defy even psychological illness.

50 First Dates
PG-13
this 2nd team up of drew and adam is a hit. as always, adam sandler gives a performance that would not only make your stomach ache of laughter but also make your heart flutter with so much mush. drew was cute and funny too. an original plot, outstanding main characters and an equally funny supporting cast, noteworthy of course is rob schneider, plus a listenable soundtrack spell box office success~!

i don't believe other poeple saying that tom cruise can't act because in this movie he played the character so convincingly. i love his smile!

Reign Over Me
by mr"Let in the unexpected."
A chance run-in with an old college roommate becomes the catalyst for healing in writer/director Mike Binder's tale of friendship and understanding in post-9/11 New York. When the Twin Towers went down on that fateful morning in 2001, Charlie Fineman (Adam Sandler) lost everything that he had to live for. Five years have passed since Charlie lost his family, and now the once-successful and sociable man has become a withdrawn shadow of his former self. When fate brings Charlie and his former college roommate Alan Johnson (Don Cheadle) together once again on a Manhattan street corner, Alan is shocked to see just how far his old friend has fallen. Though on the surface it would appear that Alan has it all, the pressures of his family and career have been weighing heavily on the successful dentist and loving father's shoulders as of late. At that pivotal moment when Charlie and Alan both needed a trusted friend to help them work through the seemingly insurmountable challenges they face in life, the restorative power of a rekindled friendship provides just the lifeline needed to move forward into the future with hope and optimism. Jada Pinkett Smith, Liv Tyler, Saffron Burrows, and Donald Sutherland co-star.
Review
Sandler was amazing. He wasn't a goofball like in Billy Madison and The Waterboy. In fact, there is very little sign of those adolescent characters in this movie. He shows he is mature and plays it so well, I personally couldn't tell it was him at all. The storyline was really strong and the acting was good. Probably Sandler's most dedicated role to serious as he gets. It's his best work in my opinion. The characters are not out there, but like the same things we like and talk the same way. I felt a connection in that. Cheadle, on the other hand, was also great as Charlie's one and only true friend, Alan. With "Hotel Rwanda", "Traffic" and "Crash" in his acting slate, you can already tell that Don is a great actor.
So, if you want to see a heavy dramatic film during a cold night, see Reign Over Me.Probably Adam's best role ever. And its not a comedy...highly recommended.

The Fly
by mr"Something went wrong in the lab today. Very wrong."
Seth Brundle is a research scientist, employed by Bartok Sciences, who has invented "Telepods" two matter transmission pods that teleports any object through space from one "Telepod" to the other "Telepod". But, it is until Seth meets journalist Veronica Quaife who inspires Seth to correct the system, that Seth achieves successful teleportation. But something goes horribly wrong, when Seth uses himself as a guinea-pig in a matter transmission experiment, as he teleports himself, unaware his genes have been fused with a house fly that was trapped in the telepod with him. Seth, now finds himself slowly transforming into a terrifying mutant creature known as "Brundlefly" as he finds himself in a fierce battle as his mutated genes begins to take over.
Review
This 1958 horror remake directed by David Cronenberg was a great watch, it had all the elements for an epic horror film. First the amazing yet nasty and puke inducing special effects. For a 1986 film, I'd say it was way ahead of its time when it came to make-up effects, I almost puked on my popcorn every time Brundlefly is doing nasty things in his apartment. Second, the character development of Jeff Goldblum's character Seth Brundle and Geena Davis' Veronica. Come to think of it, if you remove the horror factor of the film, you'd get a romantic story between an eccentric scientist and a promising journalist. The first half of the film basically focuses on said love affair and the second half is where the horrific element sets in and I gotta be honest, it really pays off.
Jeff Goldblum in his best role ever, is stunning. He delivers great dialogue and even when he's covered in horrific make-up, you can still see the humanity inside of the character, all thanks to the brilliant performance of Goldblum. The Fly is more than a horror film, it was a statement back when it was released and its still a statement up until now. It truly is amazing how you can find cinematic gems like these where you least expect it."Something went wrong in the lab today. Very wrong."

Boy A
by mr"Who Decides Who Gets A Second Chance?"
Having been institutionalized for most of his life, Jack (Andrew Garfield) is finally released from prison at the age of 24. He and another boy murdered a child when they themselves were children. The film follows Jack's attempts to readjust to the world outside of confinement and restart a life which never really got going.
Under the fatherly mentoring of Terry (Peter Mullan), his parole contact and social worker, he experiences a coming of age, which would normally have happened years ago. Forces from the past are constantly upon him. As we learn more about the events leading up to the crime which has ruined so many lives, there is an increasing sense of suspense, intrigue and ultimately doom: the tabloid press and Terry's real son are not going to let things lie.
Definitely one of the best films I've seen this year. This came as a shock to me because I have never heard of this film beforehand. But because of the buzz that's been circling around this film I decided to buy me a copy of this one and man, was I surprised. This film tackles the idea of second chances and starting life all over.
Boy A is visually stunning. The acting is astounding, credit goes to up and coming talent Andrew Garfield and the raw emotion that he invested in the character. It was very convincing and all the while, heart breaking. He carries the film from start to end and you can't help but notice his presence from the get-go.
It just goes to show that you don't need big explosions and loud, noisy scenes to make an excellent movie. With all the rubbish Hollywood's been releasing these days, its nice to see films like these just circling around, silently building its audience fan base and through the word of mouth, it spreads and it spreads. Boy A is highly recommended.Amazing. Captivating. Heartfelt. See it now.
