November 7, 2008 200811 3:54 am | In Personal | Comments Off

Well, yet another movie review…this is gonna be long. Sorted in no particular order:

1. Iron Man – Wow! This IS the action-movie of the year. Robert Downey Jr. is perfect in this role and I suspect this movie alone will boost sales of collectibles! (10/10)

2. Babylon A.D – I expected a surprise like Chronicles of Riddick, but Vin Diesel's getting old, and the story just doesn't flow! Maybe it's the young girl who made Vin Diesel look like a pedobear sometimes…lol, but action scenes are decent (6/10)

3. Ping Pong Playa – Quite a funny movie…Jimmy Tsai's (C-Dub in the movie) a little annoying at the beginning with him trying to speak like a black dude, but after a while, you start to feel for the character. Smith Cho (Knight Rider geek beauty) looks much better here with less make-up. (7/10)

4. Burn After Reading – Pretty amusing story, I think this movie can at least win the most number of f*ck spoken in the film for the year…lol, made me say WTF alot of times too. (8/10)

5. Star Wars – The Clone Wars – I'm a Star Wars fan, I just like it, although it's not groundbreaking… (7/10)

6. A Complete History of My Sexual Failures – pretty interesting documentary. I can say it's not a complete history, but there's this sex-addict ex-gf who said he was the last white guy she dated and went for Asians after that….lol…made me wonder. (7/10)

7. Bangkok Dangerous – Charlie Yeung playing a mute girl? I wonder what happened to her for the past few years. She looks much better now though….but Nicholas Cage should just be bald (6.5/10)

8. Mr Brooks – This movie surprised me! (7/10)

9. Death At A Funeral – This film is really funny. British films are doing quite well this year. (8.6/10)

10. Hell Ride – not exactly a Tarantino film, but had similar tempo in the storyline… (7/10)

11. Pathology – pretty decent thriller (7/10)

12. Deception – a phone call away from sex with high fliers – no questions asked. I wonder if it really exists…lol, weak ending though. (7/10)

13. Forgetting Sarah Marshall – good movie for those who just broke up, really hillarious in some parts (7/10)

14. Futurama – Bender's Big Score – they should just stick to 30-min slots (6/10)

15. Red Cliff – I sat through 3 hours of this movie & it didn't even end? Pretty good production though. And please, why it seems that Tony Leung's getting it these days in HK cinema. (7/10)

16. Righteous Kill – I expected more from the combo of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, but I guess they kept them apart for a reason. No one really shined in this movie. (6.5/10)

17. Journey to the Center of the Earth – Fun family movie, it's kinda gives you the same feeling like Jumanji. (6.5/10)

18. Death Race – Just an action movie, something along the lines of Tokyo Drift. (6/10)

19. Fool's Gold – Beautiful beaches, nice boats, ok movie for a lazy aftenoon… (6/10)

20. Made of Honor – I don't normally watch chick flicks, but this is pretty funny! (7/10)

21. The Bucket List – Strong beginning, pretty weak ending. Still pretty fun to watch (7/10)

22. Kung Fu Panda – I liked it, been a long time since The Incredibles for some animated movie to make some impact. (8/10)

23. You Don't Mess with Zohan – Mariah Carey can't act…but it's pretty entertaining nonetheless (6/10)

24. Shoot Em Up – pretty good action movie, from start to end…a keeper, and I can't believe Monica Belluci still looks like that at 48! (8/10)

25. Superhero Movie – from the crew of Scary Movie, but sadly not as funny. (4/10)

26. Cloverfield – I thought I would not like this movie, or turn up to be some crap like Blair Witch Project, but it's surprisingly good. Guess showing bits & pieces of the monster's builds up the suspense.

27. Into the Wild – This movie's a masterpiece, and the landscape shots are really beautiful! Must watch! (9/10)

28. Hitman – This show needs Jason Stratham, PERIOD. (6/10)

29. Rambo 4 – 236 kills! AWESOME!!! (9/10)

30. The Savages – this movie's pretty sad, but entertaining nonetheless. (7/10)

31. You Kill Me – I think Ben Kingsley finally got himself a good role in this one…after a series of really bad films from Uwe Boll. (6.5/10)

32. Dead Space – Downfall – animated movie for a game, makes me feel like playing it! (6/10)

33. Step Brothers – LOL, this movie's funny, finally something close to Anchorman & Old School. (8.5/10)

34. Hellboy 2 – The Golden Army – Selma Blair's really *HOT* here…lol, nice work on the imagining, landscape, costumes, etc but the story's not deep enough…not too bad though(7/10)

35. Hancock – It's time for Will Smith to quit acting, nothing good came up since MIB & Independence Day…(6/10)

36. The Happening – I kinda enjoyed this movie, I can't explain why…I guess "its all an act of nature which we will never understand" (7/10)

37. Harold & Kumar – Escape from Guantanamo Bay – White Castle was genius but the only thing I could remember from this movie is the Cockmeat Sandwich…yucks, damn you Harold & Kumar!!! (6/10)

38. Speed Racer – What can I say, it's colourful…could have gave adult viewers something more…but maybe I should just realise I'm already a grown-up…lol (6/10)

39. The Bank Job – Saffron Burrows saved the movie. Otherwise, it pretty much bombed, focussing too much on Jason Stratham perhaps… (6/10)

40. 21 – Pretty ok plot, but I expected more mathematical shit coming from this. (6/10)

41. Be Kind Rewind – I expected another School of Rock, but there's just not enough funny parts to get it going… (5.5/10)

42. Jumper – Hayden Christensen couldn't act and here same thing happening again. Could have been a better movie if not for him. (6/10)

43. The Promotion – This is a dark comedy. Wrong casting perhaps. (5/10)

44. Vantage Point – It has a strong story, same time period showing what's really happening from diffent vantage points, but something is lacking…probably needs more action. (7/10)

45. Felon – Val Kilmer's acting is pretty commendable here. But this movie serves as a reminder how life can be so f*cked up when you get jailed for killing somebody trying to rob you! (6.8/10)

46. Doomsday – B sci-fi movie, but when you happen to find a Bentley Continental GT as a runaway car it really is pretty unrealistic! Need more gore/sex to spice it up though…lol (6/10)

47. Untraceable – pretty interesting story, but considering ISPs can just block any sites they want, there's a hole in the plot. Anyway, it's worth watching if you're bored. (6/10)

48. 10,000 BC – Just an action film, nothing great but pretty enjoyable. (6/10)

49. Semi-Pro – Gosh, this is really bad…skip it! No where near Old School or Anchorman. (1/10)

50. Son of Rambow – British films seem to be getting better. This film explores so many topics but focuses on 2 boys trying to make an action film like Rambo. Very funny and some scenes are really touching. (9/10)

51. No Country for Old Men – The most memorable thing after the movie is probably Chigurh's cattle gun! Most people just don't feel intimidated by it, until they are dead… (8/10)

52. There Will Be Blood – Started well but ended up pretty f*cked up! Seems to get really good reviews in IMDB though, but probably due to the references to US history…which I'm not too familiar with. (6/10)

53. Wanted – could have been better, concept is good, action is pretty good, but curling your bullet seems to defy laws of physics…the pacing seems abit rushed & I'm not sure if it's just me but Angelina Jolie lost her touch here… (7/10)

54. Tropic Thunder – I really liked all the Vietnam War-era shows, so naturally this film is very amusing to me. Laughed so much in the first 45 mins of the film, but it slowed down after that… (6.8/10)

55. The X Files – I Want to Believe – It's disappointing. I'd expected something more "X-File"-ish, and I find Scully more annoying now and can't imagine equate Mulder to David Duchovny's character in Californicatoin… (4.5/10)

56. Day Watch – Russian sci-fi movie…pretty decent (6/10)

57. Dark Knight – Should have ended when he got Joker, but why close it for Two-Face too? Still, pretty good movie. (8.5/10)
