The September Issue (19/09/09)
The Catch: I -honestly- thought it was a RomCom
Wanna see The Devil Wears Prada comes to life? There you have it!
The way I see it, Miranda Priestly (a fiction character on The Devil Wears Prada) is based on Anna Wintour's (editor-in-chief of Vogue magz for 20years) real life. Oh yes, there's a lot of haute couture and pret-a-porter to see. You can also sneak on famous designers like; Oscar de la Renta, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Karl Lagerfeld and Vera Wang. Now that I see 'the making of' fashion magz, I can be more appreciative to the people behind. They are not always physically fashionable, they are too... under a lot of pressure, and you'll never know if they were once the front-liners.

Inglorious Basterds (Various Lang. - 19/09/09)
The Catch: Listening Kruger in Deustch
Salute! Kruger has busted her *ss to be able to converse in Deustch for this part and I think it's totally worth it! She's quite a vixen here... Worry not, Tarantino's (in)sanity still shown in this movie, although not as much as he did in Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction.

Whiteout (19/09/09)
The Catch: First homicide case in Antarctica?
Although I'm not very satisfied with the plot, I think this movie still worth to watch in the cinéma. I guess I didn't realize that in the whiteout, one's can't see the others till they're a breath away. Beckinsale's icy-role match nicely with the character she plays.

The Time Traveler's Wife (05-06/09/09)
The Catch: Eager to know how it works
Yea yeaaa... I know it's fiction. Not to spoil the moment, I am pretty satisfied with the ending. Unless you don't mind to know the ending before watching it, grab your ticket now!

Year One (30/08/09)
The Catch: Checking Michael Cera outside of teen-movie
Plain, merely half comedy for me... More excited to spot the cameo role. Another home-DVD for the weekend.

Final Destination 4 (29/08/09)
The Catch: (can't think of any)
Despite of the cutey Bobby Campo, this movie is sucks! Seems like watching the scenes rolling over and over again. I think they've lost the edge. As they say, three times a charm FULLSTOP

The Last House On The Left (29/08/09)
The Catch: It's been quite some time since I watched family-thriller
Well, it's not totally true. We've seen Orphan few weeks earlier (superb movie!) but this one also paid it off, not bad at all...The intensity was there, makes you like... ('0')

Coco Avant Chanel (French - 29/08/09)
The Catch: Plain curiosity
One word: Inspirational!
It's not like I wanted to be a fashion designer or what, but to look from her background all the way to the success was just remarkable. Correct me if I'm wrong, I think it proves that women doesn't always have to be somebody's wife to stand out in the society, even back in those days. Grace à Coco -et Tatou, la grande actrice-
PS: Capel (played by Nivola) was a true gentlemen. Melting down our hearts...

Whatever Works (13/09/09)
The Catch: Getting more acquainted to Woody Allen
Truly American Comedy! I find it very dull at the first half running, but there's this caucasian -American, I guess- who keeps laughing. Didn't really gets what it means and why he could enjoy that much. After the parents character appear then I started to feel the 'it'. Generation gap might be the big problem here.
From my p.o.v, the last scene was intriguing. Tell me, how can an ex-married couple can be in the same room with their new -so called- spouses? And it's not only one couple - couple, but it's two couples - couple within' blood ties (still following me?). The mother with her new guys (that's right, GUYS with an 'S'), then there's the father with his new GAYfriend, the daughter with her new actor hook-up (pretty normal here) and lastly the daughter's ex-hubby with his new girlfriend which he fall into during his second suicide attempt. They just gather around in a room, counting down to new year. Ain't that crazy or what?
PS: Evan Rachel Wood looks like Rumer Willis meets Chloe Sevigny here.

G-Force (13/09/09)
The Catch: To kill some time (?)
It turns out watching a bunch of guinea pigs can be so much fun! No enthusiasm at first, but in the end I left the cinema smiling ^^ Oh... Didn't 'recognize' Nicholas Cage in Speckles too!

The Ugly Truth (12/09/09)
The Catch: Gerard Butler (again!)
Was not as funny as I expected to be. I guess Butler is not a romantic type (remember "PS I Love You"?). Produced by Heighl herself, it is not as good as The Proposal (also double-act by Sandra Bullock). For my note, Connolly only appears 2-3 mins, what a disappointment :-(

Dance Flick (12/09/09)
The Catch: (was) Looking for laugh...
All parody, all Wayan's... Can't say more. Save some $, better wait for DVD release.
Gamer (12/09/09)
The Catch: Gerard Butler for sure!
Sorry to say that this is a cold, harsh, futuristic movie. Don't enjoy any bit, perhaps because I am not a techie. If you're planning to catch it in cinema, make sure you sit at least 7 rows from the screen due to rapid movement in several scene.
9 (12/09/09)
The Catch: One of Tim Burton's
Even-though this is Burton's project, I somehow feels like there's Shyamalan touch in this movie. Perfectly detailed! At certain scenes, I even forgot that it was animated.
