The Catch: In memorial of Heath Ledger
I can only say: It's totally beyond my imagination, ironically... Not in a good way. I get a little bored in the middle of the movie, I guess the attraction lies within the 'imaginarium' icon of Tony which played by so many heart-throb (Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell).

Everybody's Fine (31/01/10)
The Catch: I thought I could use some laughs.
I was wrong, it's a total drama. This would be the first time I watched DeNiro as a mellow old man and family-less (can't think of other -if any-). I am kinda disappointed finding out that this is another gloom movie, considering I've been wetting my eyes lately. Nonetheless, I do like Sam Rockwell here... Seeing him cry so sincere, melts down my heart.

Brothers (30/01/10)
The Catch: (none)
I wasn't really enthusiast to watch this movie. Drama in a family, boring conversation and love affair just not really my thing. So I thought... So I thought... Turns out I cried my eyes out for this one. I can't really describe more, watch and you'll know.

Edge Of Darkness (30/01/10)
The Catch: Mel Gibson's back!
A dirty nuclear manufacturer behind Senator campaign killing all of the scientists of the project including Emma Charlotte Craven (Bojana Novakovic). The bad news is that Emma's father is a Boston detective, Thomas Craven (Mel Gibson). He doesn't give a darn care about the political, all he wants is the murderer of his daughter. Typical Gibson's movie, police-action. Sorta Lethal Weapon sequel.

The Spy Next Door (30/01/10)
The Catch: This is my catch: I got free ticket =)
It's a rather slow pace action movie, not really funny though. I think Jackie Chan better stick to Chris Tucker or Owen Wilson.

Nervous after one night stand?
Justin Bartha - Eva Amurri:
Normal problem between young adult
Natalie Portman - Irrfan Khan:
It's a Jewish thing?
Hayden Christensen - Rachel Bilson - Andy Garcia:

Legion (23/01/10)
The Catch: Speaking of apocalypse?
It's just sadly that the trailer has shown all the good parts of the movie. I've been expecting this movie enthusiastically, but it turns out so-so to me. Not a top notch from the critics, but I like the comments from E! Online (Luke Y. Thompson): "Angels with guns! Wing-fu! God-zombies! ..."

Law Abiding Citizen (23/01/10)
The Catch: Well... Hmmm... Just watch it!
Remember The Punisher (2004) or Death Sentence (2007)? This is another type of father's vengeance with a little twist of law. An engineer Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) spent 10 years time to plan and prepare the revenge of his family, who was killed in their own house, in front of his own eyes. Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx), prosecutor who was assigned to the case, was being forced by his boss to do an 'arrangement' with one of the killer to testify against his accomplice so he will get a lighter sentence.
Clyde master-minding and execute a series of murders (and admit it blatantly) behind the bars! With intention to teach all of the key-players behind the laws, especially Nick, for the real justice.

It's Complicated (17/01/10)
The Catch: Funny ol'ppl =D
Laughing Out Loud. This is really what we do whilst watching this movie. I guess everything flows naturally and it -somehow- doesn't seems like just a scene. I can see the old chap sitting next to me was really enjoying this movie. Especially when it comes to the 'adult' jokes. Unfortunately, Steve Martin wasn't so funny here. His character is a bit undisclosed. Ou-ouhhh... Not to mention, Lake Bell was so bitchy here. Never see it coming.

The Blind Side (17/01/10)
The Catch: Touching!
My first fave female actress: Sandra Bullock. I suppose Leigh Anne Touhys will be so proud that her extraordinary life has been brought to the world, especially when Bullock plays you! I admire the Touhys, I thought there will be an internal struggle between the family members when she lets Michael Oher stay. Turns out everybode very supportive, even her teen daughter has acted up so mature. Standing ovation and applauses to this great family.

It's Not Me, I Swear (Canada-French - 16/01/10)
The Catch "C'est Pas Moi, Je Le Jure"
Two reviews that I like:
- Bad news for parents,
- Hilarious darkly comedic film.
Such words to perfectly describe =) and what's written in the posters:
"Swearing in 7 January" Haha...
"Swearing in 7 January" Haha...
IT'S NOT GOOD TO LIE, BUT IT'S WORSE TO LIE BADLY
Daybreakers (16/01/10)
The Catch: Bored with the sweet romantic vampire of the Twilight saga.
It's been so long since we saw Ethan Hawke in the big screen, now that I've watched him as a doctor vampire... Totally paid off! The best vampire movie in years! Different genre, different thrills.
Disclaimer: This is not an encouragement for 'weak' condition people due to most of the disturbing scenes.

Invictus (10/01/10)
The Catch: A look at the life of President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela and Rugby Captain, Francois Pienaar to unite his people. "Unconquered".
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of fate
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years finds
And shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
Cirque Du Freak; The Vampire's Assistant (10/01/10)
The Catch: Cirque Du Freak! Catchy right?
Unfortunately... NOT! Not really funny, not so scary either. A lot of freak yesss, but generally I consider this movie as another teen movie. However, Willem Dafoe and Ken Watanabe is really bewildering me here. So not typical them-self, was it a good thing? Hmmm...

Motherhood (09/01/10)
The Catch: Mother and housewife mid-life crisis
Can't say much about this movie. It's just that initially I went to the cinema with a lot of excitement, but as the movie rolls along, doesn't seems so fantastic. I guess it's worth to wait for the DVD release.

All About Steve (07/01/10)
The Catch: (Friend's DVD)
It was (or has not been) played in cinema yet, but a friend of mine show me the DVD and I quickly grab it hoping that it's another great movie from Sandra Bullock. It turns out... I'm absolutely 100% right! I even think this is the best movie of Bullock so far, and of course much better than The Proposal. The character was unusual, good ending (GOOD, not happy), let's face it... This is real life we're talking about and it has moral message: Don't change, for anyone.
Closing the year 2009, Bullock was claimed as the most influential female in film industry for the role that she played in The Blind Side. I haven't watch it yet, but now I'm convinced that she is some-kinda femme fatale. Rock on!

Did You Hear About The Morgans? (03/01/10)
The Catch: A fusion between Briton and American
Stepping on the 3rd day of 2010, I already found a great movie. A little romance in the air and a lot of comedy, that's what I have in mind. You should really catch it in the cinema and then again when the DVD has been released.

Sherlock Holmes (03/01/10)
The Catch: Cat got my tongue?
I am sorry that I am not too thrilled about this movie. Funny, yes I agreed. Not so great though.

The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard (02/01/10)
The Catch: Jeremy Piven
I do laugh at some scenes, but overall I still think this is not really a good movie. Sorry... It feels like watching Piven's character in TV series Entourage, Agent Ari Gold. Ambitious and smooth-talker was that all about. However, he is the only reason I don't want' to missed this one. Misleading huh?!

Alvin & The Chipmunks 2 (01/01/10)
The Catch: The Squeakquels
Watching 3 talking and singing chipmunks a couple of years back was quite entertaining, so why don't we double it up this year? It's fun to watch the Chipmunks collaborate with the Chipettes.

Fourth Kind (01/01/10)
The Catch: I mistakenly thought it's another type of Resident Evil
You see, the thing about me when I'm heading to cinema is that, I don't want to know what's the story of the movie I'm about to watch. Just experience it and explore.
Alien encounter of The First Kind SIGHTING.
Alien encounter of The Second Kind EVIDENCE.
Alien encounter of The Third Kind CONTACT.
Alien encounter of The Fourth Kind ABDUCTION.
Based on true-fact, it's up to you to decide what's to believe.
PS: It's always nice to watch Ukrainian Jovovich apart from Resident Evil franchise.

Old Dogs (01/01/10)
The Catch: Funnie-movie
Another family movie from Disney. I enjoyed this movie very much, especially for a beginning of a new year. Feels so refreshing, enlighten your spirits and it just completes your holiday. Loveee Travolta and the gank!

The Princess & The Frog (28/12/09)
The Catch: Disney's Classic
Missing those Disney's classic cartoon? Here's your chance to catch it before it's totally vanished from the 3D-technology. It's a classic tale with a little twist. Quite refreshing, I must say. Do enjoy it with your little one.
