The Lovely Bones [2009]

I felt so depressed after watching this movie.  It is so sad!  I also felt frustrated because I don't find any justice in it.  How come the bad person can escape the law and justice.  Sure, karma will get him but I felt the pain of the family who lost.  Despite all those, there is an optimistism in the persona.  Although she is dead but she didn't hold any hatred about life and wishing her family will move on, be safe and happy.  It is true in the end all of us have to die.  It is just a matter of sooner or later.

The Lovely Bones directed by Peter Jackson tells a story about a 14-year-old girl from suburban Pennsylvania who is murdered by her neighbor. She tells the story from Heaven, showing the lives of the people around her and how they have changed all while attempting to get someone to find her lost body.

Avatar [2009]

One of the greatest film I have watched.  Love the graphics as well as the storyline.  It is best to watch on 3D.  Thumbs up for James Cameron!!

When his brother is killed in a robbery, paraplegic Marine Jake Sully decides to take his place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora. There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge's intentions of driving off the native humanoid "Na'vi" in order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the Na'vi people with the use of an "avatar" identity. While Jake begins to bond with the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the beautiful alien Neytiri, the restless Colonel moves forward with his ruthless extermination tactics, forcing the soldier to take a stand - and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora.

Interview With The Vampire [1994]

I have to praise this movie, great storyline and not to mention all the big stars like Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Antonia Banderas and Kirsten Dunst.

Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles is a 1994 film, based on the 1976 novel Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice.  Vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac has decided to tell his story to writer Daniel Malloy how he became a vampire in 1791 at the age of 24 and what it's been like living for 200 years.  The film was directed by Neil Jordan, and stars Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Antonio Banderas, and Kirsten Dunst. It was a box office hit, generating a little over $100 million in domestic receipts.

Snow White: A Tale of Terror [1997]

Snow White: A Tale of Terror  directed by Michael Cohn is based somewhat more authentically on the Grimm Brothers' story of a young woman who is unliked by her stepmother, the film includes the talking mirror, a poisoned apple, and some ruffian gold (not diamond) miners (and they aren't dwarfs or cute). It takes place at the time of the Crusades, and depicts the attitudes of the wealthy and the peasant classes toward one another.

I thought I didn't like this movie but the more I watch it, the more I got drawn into the story.  It is not what I have expected in the Snow White movie.  It is more on the eerie than the lovely fairy-tale that we were told when we were young.  A great movie to watch!

Couples Retreat [2009]

I was looking forward to watch this movie.  There has been so much fuss about this movie and my friends actually go to Bora Bora for their honeymoon.  I think it was because of this movie.  I was sort of disappointed in the movie somehow because the setting of the beginning is a bit too long.  It is not what I was looking forward to.  But it's still a good movie about relationships and how to maintain a healthy family.

Couples Reatreat directed by Peter Billingsley is a comedy centered around four couples who settle into a tropical-island resort for a vacation. While one of the couples is there to work on the marriage, the others fail to realize that participation in the resort's therapy sessions is not optional.

Spider-Man 3 [2007]

Marvel action heroes are still my favourite up to this age.  I remembered when I first arrived in Australia, I used to buy those comics from Franklins and read.  It was only 30c then...now if you want to by a book it costs more than $20.

After 2 years, I have a chance to watch this movie again and I still love the action although the ending is a bit sad.  I always thought there will always be happing ending in heroes stories but I guess reality is not a nice place.

Spider-Man 3 was directed by Sam Raimi.

Peter Parker has finally managed to piece together the once-broken parts of his life, maintaining a balance between his relationship with Mary-Jane and his responsibility as Spider-Man. But more challenges arise for our young hero. Peter's old friend Harry Obsourne has set out for revenge against Peter; taking up the mantle of his late father's persona as The New Goblin, and Peter must also capture Uncle Ben's real killer, Flint Marko, who has been transformed into his toughest foe yet, the Sandman. All hope seems lost when suddenly Peter's suit turns jet-black and greatly amplifies his powers. But it also begins to greatly amplify the much darker qualities of Peter's personality that he begins to lose himself to. Peter has to reach deep inside himself to free the compassionate hero he used to be if he is to ever conquer the darkness within and face not only his greatest enemies, but also...himself.

It's Complicated [2009]

The name Meryl Streep was introduced to me from The Devil Wears Prada.  I think she's one of the most talented actress and for her age I have to give my thumbs up.  Her roles from each movies show the diverse talent he has.

It's Complicated directed by Nancy Meyers is fun and very entertaining.  However, it's probably not one of my favourite.  I would like to see Steve Martin more in this movie though :)

During his son's college graduation, Jane hooks up with her ex-husband, Jake, who's married to a younger woman.  When brought together at a family event, two exes find themselves oddly attracted to each other after ten years of divorce.  Although the couple think that this affair will stay in a different state, it brings itself back to their own city and disrupts their personal lives. While the couple still maintain other romances, they cannot help but to continue with their affair.  As if being your ex's mistress isn't tough enough, Jane also finds herself drawn to Adam, a smitten architect.
