Movies, movies and more movies....

Few movies I've watched lately:

Mr Bean
Typical Bean movie...nothing much to comment except that I like the first movie better. Nothing much to expect from this one.Go for it if you need some illogical laughs. Watch out for Spiderman's Green Goblin who potrays a vain, self-admiring director.

Rating : 1 out of 5 (yes, it's that bad)

The returner
Old movie starring Takeshi Kaneshiro. Why it's worth my time? Hehe....who can resist Takashi in black leather, cool sunglasses, extremely cool gun-handling skills and a big bike? *drool* Story about a girl from the future, sent to change history so that war will not occur. And the enemies? Alienation....The plot is a bit funny but hey, Takashi is worth the 2 hours....

Rating: 3 out of 5 (just because of Takashi)

Music and lyrics
First thing that came to my mind....Gosh, Hugh Grant is old. And errmmm....I cannot see or feel the chemistry between him and Drew Barrymore. The song at the beginning "Pop goes my heart" is entertaining though...And you can see Grant singing and strutting his cute dance moves but he's a tad too old for it.

Rating: 3 out of 5 (for the catchy tunes and beautiful love song)

Stranger than fiction
Cool movie...I'm beginning to like Will Ferrell. This movie is something diferrent from the normal movie and it's touching in the end. I almost thought that it will not be a happy ending...but the way they twist it, it's touching.

Rating: 3 out of 5

300
A feast for the eyes (well, except for the head-choppings and blood splashing here and there). The CG is so nice, it's like watching a PS2 game in action. Men in tights with six-packs (errmmm some even 8?) are nice to watch....Heheh...And at some parts, we are the only one who are laughing in the cinema. We found it funny somehow especially the elephants' part and the Persians with their magic....

Rating: 4 out of 5

Shooter
Another typical US conspiracy movie....Nothing much to anticipate from it...All pretty well plotted and fans of Mark Walhberg will definitely watch it. Sniping is fun....And more fun if you get a head-shot....:)

Rating: 2 out of 5

The Reaping
I've read of the 10 biblical plagues before but I can't really remember all of them and now, it's all in my head. The movie is not bad. You will like it if you are into movies about cult and signs from God and Hillary Swank....Hehe...Scientific explanations for all the miracles that had happened, even for the 10 plagues. A phrase I remembered from the movie- 'The only miracle is people keep believing'. But towards the end, the movie becomes a bit fake....With firestorm and stuff, it looks like a scene from 'The Day after Tomorrow'.

Rating: 4 out of 5

Can't wait for the months to come....so many good movies lining up - Spidey3, POTC, Shrek3, Oceans 13, RE 3: Extinction....
