[Movie] The Blind Side

Definitely one of the best movies I've watched recently. The acting is great and the story is just superb! Something that I've always liked, a feel good movie that has a heart.

The movie made me cry even in scenes that the actors are not crying. It's just so heart warming to think that there are such kind people in this world. So kind that color or appearance was not an issue for them. Not even society had any hold on the kindness they showed which changed one person's life totally.

A very inspiring story that is truly worth watching! =)

[Movie] The Proposal

I was on a dvd movie spree a few weeks ago. I watched about 5 movies straight and this one win it for me! ^_^ Just when I thought I'm so over all the romantic comedies, "The Proposal" does it again to me.

I used to really love romantic comedies for the simple reason that I'm a romantic and I like to laugh. But being single and having no love life makes one somewhat cynical in this world full of love birds flying all around you. For a time there, I forgot what romantic is and all that sweet lovey dovey couples started to annoy me. LOL! XD

But whatever, I still love to laugh which is why I watched this movie and I'm not sorry, I love it!!! I just wish the romance will come to my life before the weak fire that kept me hoping for a love story of my own got completely snuffed off. ^^

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

I'm not one to watch movies in the movie house. I usually watch my movies at the comfort of my room with my dependable dvd player. ^^ So I surprised even myself that I managed to watch Transformers a couple of weeks back and now Harry Potter. Thanks to my good friends for inviting me to watch with them. =) Not having a boyfriend do have it's down sometimes, no movie companion for me since my friends watch with their other halves. Oh well, that's life haha!

Now for the movie, we watched it in Imax with only 15 minutes of 3D. I was looking for more around the end part when Harry and Dumbledore started fighting in the cave but none. =< It's more of story telling to reveal the secrets that had been left unanswered from book 1 and in preparation for the final book. And I hope Harry will grow a few inches taller, Ginny looks tougher than him. Hermione had grown to be a really beautiful lady! She's so beautiful! I love Ron, and like Hermione, I had always found him interesting. ^^

Looking forward to watching the final chapter! Still not ready to say goodbye to Harry though. ~

Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen

I love the first and still love the 2nd! It's action packed movie that kids and adults will surely enjoy!

And it's my first time to watch with a La-Z-Boy recliner and i love it! You wouldn't want to watch with a regular movie house chair again! ^^

Slumdog Millionaire

I'm one who often gets disappointed when it comes to hype. I usually expect too much because of the big fuss that I often end up disappointed with whatever it is, be it a movie, a drama, series, music, artist, etc.

So with the big hype of "Slumdog Millionaire", I was prepared to be critical of it. I watched it looking for something that I could say, "This one deserved it's Oscar" and to my surprise, I'm happy with the movie! Okay, so I'm a fan of happy endings and feel good movies so this one's a give away actually. ^^

I loved the movie because it started out really sad by showing how hard life is for these two kids and their way of life. Then how they survived living in the train on their own until they grew up without parents and all that. They managed to get through even though not everything they did is right but at least they were able to go through another day alive.

It's a movie that gives everyone hope that no matter how deep you're under now, there will always be hope as long as you keep your head up and lead your life with love. Well yes, he's one lucky guy too. But it doesn't hurt to believe in a little luck once in a while right? ^^

The Incredible Hulk

I watched The Incredible Hulk right after I watched The Dark Knight so I can't help but compare the two. They're both comics characters after all.

I'd have to say, there's not much comparison there. The Dark Knight is a bigger production and definitely better. With Hulk, I got a headache watching the computer graphic fight scenes and I don't understand much of what's happening in the climax battle between Hulk and Abomination. I think it's too violent for my taste.

But I like the story about Bruce Banner fighting to cure himself so that what he had in him will not be used by the military as weapon, which is really dangerous since the power is uncontrollable.

Another good thing is that Edward Norton has a nice body, now that's some good eye candy.^^

The Dark Knight

I've finally got to watch this movie in DVD after all the chaos and talk about this film, I still didn't get the chance to watch it on big screen, and I'm regretting that now. But anyways, it's still good that I did get the chance to watch it and I like it just fine.^^

It's sad that Heath Ledger is gone now, he did a great job for this movie! Awesome performance and even if he's the villain, no offense to Christian Bale who played Batman and did quite well too, but Joker is the main man in this film. It's all him and it's amazing how Heath Ledger with his good looks can become the scary joker and made it so believable!

I love that they put more depth in this movie not just the ordinary super hero movie that we usually get. It's a twist of a sort because this time, batman becomes the bad guy in the eyes of the people while doing something good. He's the dark knight because of his sacrificial nature and working behind the lime light. The last scene is what I loved most, when Gordon called Batman the silent guardian, the Dark Knight.
