'Skyline' ; I really didn't mind this one. I can't remember what other people said about it here, but I thought it was a pleasant enough variation on a well used theme. I was enjoying that it was centered around a small group of people and the bigger picture was never revealed via way of other broadcasts within the film, or other storylines. Yeah... I thought this was individual enough to be quite enjoyable. Interesting enough ending too, I guess.

 

'The Lincoln Lawyer' ; another one I thought was quite good. I guess after everything was said and done it was a pretty "typical" crime/lawyer kind of movie, but I thought it was well done with a good interesting story. Yeah, good one.

Tourist (2010)

 

the scenery is breath-takingly beautiful, the plot isn't horrible at all, in fact, reading many negative reviews toward this, I think this is one of Depp's underrated movie. Not exceptionally good, but quite unpredictable to the end, and of course it has that small surprising twist that makes this an interesting movie. Some funny scenes, but mostly it's a romance/thriller kind of thing about an undercover agent (Angeline Jolie) who's meeting a tourist (Johnny Depp) on a train when in the end it's uhm...

"Insidious"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfcHoXTlMX0

Pretty decent creep-o-rama ghost story. When a family's young son mysteriously falls into a coma-like state, weird sh*t starts to happen around the house. Paranormal investigators arrive and figure out that "something" on the other side has plans for their child. Kinda like an updated riff on "Poltergeist."

 

It got a bit silly towards the end but dang, this thing had creepy atmosphere to spare and I'll admit I jumped a few times. During one pivotal scene my wife screamed like a teenybopper at a Justin Bieber concert, she had to clamp her hand over her mouth cuz she was afraid she was gonna wake the kids. Haha.

Well you've got more patience than I have. That thing bored me into a coma.

My wife and I went to see this at the cinema when it came out, she jumped out of her skin, some creepy parts but probably the last quarter of the film is where it went downhill for me!

Paranormal Activity 2 - that's one and a half hours of my life I'll never get back. Pretty much exactly the same as PA 1. Boring!

 

I jumped in this film and I absolutely never ever jump, not as good as the first though. :crazy:

Inside Job (2010)

 

a really horrid movie about the 2008 financial meltdown, narrated by Matt Damon, a comprehensive overview of how the trouble happened. Sad to see that by the greed of human, and especially the top executive of Wall Street, eventually cost an unbearable pain to the mid-low society, and even sad that by the time the crash is over, they went away with the fortune intact, and even re-instituted by the government and company in a respectable position, leaving the poor even poorer.

 

Hard lesson from this one is that if we want to invest something, better we do our homework and knows every detail of it. Unless you want to lose some serious money, this is an obligatory.

 

Great movie and a must-watch especially if you're looking for a detail information on the American housing bubble.

Arn: The Knight Templar

 

A little slow. I liked the story and the cinematics but not enough to keep me from quickly getting up to grab another beer or look out the window now and then.

The Sixth Sense.

 

How can a director make a movie like this and never come even close since??

'Machete' ; dreadful movie, but superbly watchable because they obviously weren't interested in hiring any female for any part who was not sexilicious. The nude girl at the start, to Jessica Album, the girl from 'Lost' and then a superdeluxe nude and delicious Lindsay Lohan (and her MILF mother in the movie). It's all great viewing. The violence was kind of amusing at times - I did laugh a couple of times at how stupid the movie was. But yeah, without all those girls you just wouldn't bother with this.

"Big Trouble in Little China"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yM3-YO7qHs

Wacked-out, comic-book, chop-socky fun from John Carpenter. Kurt Russell is a truck driver who gets caught up in a battle against an ancient Chinese wizard beneath the streets of San Francisco's Chinatown. I swear that this movie must've been made up as they went along, it honestly doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense, but boy is it fun to watch.

Snatch (2000)

 

a classic movie of diamond heist and unlicensed boxing match where the story gel to one another and characters get to involved each other. Brad Pitt plays the Irish gypsy boxer and Jason Statham as the casino owner and promotor. The plot is very interesting, a lot of character to deal, probably required couple watch to absorb the whole story. Crime-based story mixed with comedy, a fun movie indeed and i must admit, almost all Brad Pitt's movie is always unique and entertaining.
