2012
PG-13
2012, year of hype! Damn, it's so hard to get ticket for this movie, every day is a full house! How was it? Frankly, i have seen this coming, haven't we all?
2012 is a sci - fi movie with the same formula recycle over and over again. Stupid plot, may be one of the brain-less movie I've ever seen, bad casting, bad background music, bad directing? so what's the Three stars for? Simply, for the stunning Special Effect; amazingly disturbing!!
Bad casting? I like John Cusack in few movies, sappy one. Thandie Newton, as usual always wasted, minim screen time. Amanda Peet, uhmm.., the only decent character was played by Chiwetel Ejiofor.. the main scientist in the movie.
Bad directing? I love Emerich previous movies; name it : Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow, The Patriot, even i enjoyed Godzilla for Christ sake! but his 2012 over-hyped, is simply his worst.
Why? Once you watch it, you will note this; Racism - I never complained, but C'mon not one Indian survived?, Moral Plot - Not big fan in this department, but it's always there in his movies, where else here you will notice 'If you get 1 Million Euro, you will be saved!'.. Yes, every one that were saved in the end are bunch of rich bastards, the poor one's died; sink at the bottom of this damn earth!
Cliche - not surprising at all, i like cheesy and campy scenes here and there, but in this movie it's just over the top!
So, keep this point in mind and go ahead.
6/10.
Scoop
PG-13
I find this one very enjoyable. Scoop is something bizzare yet completely lovable movie, with the exact amount of comedy, suspense and thrill. I like the concept, a young journalist try to uncover the Tarot Reader killer by the help of quirk old man and earth bound spirit of famous late journalist. What makes it different is the non cliche, second is the chemistry between Scarlet and Woody Allen is just hilarious! Love the ending scene too, unpredictable.
7/10.

Tyler Durden: Shut up! Our fathers were our models for God. If our fathers bailed, what does that tell you about God?
Narrator: No, no, I... don't...
Tyler Durden: Listen to me! You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you. He never wanted you. In all probability, he hates you. This is not the worst thing that can happen.
Narrator: It isn't?
Tyler Durden: We don't need him!Narrator: [to Tyler, while looking at a Calvin Klein-esque ad on the bus] Is that what a real man is supposed to look like?
Narrator: I don't know my dad. I mean, I know him, but... he left when I was like six years old. Married this other woman, had some other kids. He like did this every six years, he goes to a new city and starts a new family. Tyler Durden: Fucker's setting up franchises. 10/10.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day
R
John Connor: No, no, no, no. You gotta listen to the way people talk. You don't say "affirmative," or some shit like that. You say "no problemo." And if someone comes on to you with an attitude you say "eat me." And if you want to shine them on it's "hasta la vista, baby." The Terminator: Hasta la vista, baby. John Connor: Yeah but later, dickwad. And if someone gets upset you say, "chill out"! Or you can do combinations. The Terminator: Chill out, dickwad. John Connor: Great! See, you're getting it! The Terminator: No problemo. 10/10.
