The Catch: ?
First half sucks, second half not too shabby. I don't know what's wrong but Justin Long & Hayden Panettiere definitely not good in 'voicing' / working together? @_@

Devil (16/09/10)
The Catch: The second best of M. Night SHYAMALAN
According to me, so far this is the second best movie from M. Night (Sixth Sense still on top for sure) -Shyamalan only write the story- Quite a thriller packed in 81mins!

Resident Evil 4: After Life (12/09/10)
The Catch: Was this the end?
Another story of Alice's (Mila JOVOVICH) struggle to ended Umbrella corp.s effort to develop a stronger T-virus with her DNA. Was this the end? Certainly NOT. I suppose we'll be expecting another sequel in a couple of years to come.
One of my friend said that it's a combination between: Prison Break + Heroes + Matrix + a little bit of Mission Impossible. Another added Ultraviolet as well. I don't know about Prison Break or Heroes, but definitely agree with Matrix & Ultraviolet. Like Die Hard 4 (which I think so very far from 'die hard'), I also feel like there's not much of 'resident evil' feeling here. A bit disappointed.

The Infidel (11/09/10)
The Catch: Cultural fusion
A comedy-art movie that combined with humanity value, suits me just fine. Quite a distinctive story, I like it!

Going The Distance (04/09/10)
The Catch: Barrymore-Long on-off
Watching this movie seems like picturing a bit of Drew & Justin's real life. Maybe that what makes it so natural, I love it!

The Hole (04/09/10)
The Catch: No catch, just a waste of time!
Ever since "Music & Lyrics" I never heard the name Haley BENNETT in any other movies, so when I saw this one... I am anxiously waiting for it! Two hours later, I am exiting the cinema with a huge disappointment. The story was just ok, nothing special.

L'Arnacoeur (29/08/10 - French)
The Catch: Spotting Mrs. DEPP
A casual story-line with a twist of comedy. I don't really like the actors (including Vanessa PARADIS herself), but I manage to enjoy the whole movie :)

The Joneses (28/08/10)
The Catch: Selling the American Life?
Another good movie for the weekend. I find MOORE and DUCOVNY match nicely here. Not to mention, a unique story makes it different with other RomCom movie.

Grown Ups (28/08/10)
The Catch: Another one from Happy Madison
A lot of people I know said it's funny. To me, there's only 2 scenes that really makes me laugh;
- the one where 4 of the guys switching their head when they eagerly want to check Rob SCHNEIDER's character hot-bods daughter without being too obvious, and
- the one where all of the guys peeing in the swimming pool that has been added some sort of chemical to turn the pee into 'blue'

Frozen (21/08/10)
The Catch: ?
I watched it because I'm a movreak. This is one of the movie where there's no beginning & no ending. My suggestion, wait for the DVD release. Kinda wondering whether it's true story or not? @_@

Step Up 3 (21/08/10)
The Catch: Move that body!
Great one! I like the Robotic-with SamWORTHINGTON look- guy. So cool!!!
Kinda intrigued me to watch the 1st & 2nd again ;)

The Expendables (21/08/10)
The Catch: All the muscular gran-pops ;)
It was kinda amusing to watch this movie, especially the 2mins appreance of Arnold SCHWARZENNEGER & Bruce WILLIS. Can't really understand Jet LI's english :(

The Girl who Kicked The Hornet's Nest / Luftslottet Som Sprängdes (17/08/10 - Swedish)
The Catch: What's next for Lisbeth?
I'm gonna stop commenting on Lisbeth (not to say it's getting bad, but it's still the same strong character I loved!). Great ending, consistent on the story line. STRONGLY recommended to watch!

Centurion (15/08/10)
The Catch: Olga KURYLENKO
I would like to call this movie as a Roman version of 300 - Spartans. Guess what? There's even a resemblance on the cast (Michael FASSBENDER & Dominic WEST). In my personal opinion, I don't think Centurion is a good movie. I might not really keen on 300 - Spartans, but I still catch the 'artistic' angle of it. But this? Really?

The Girl who Played with Fire / Flickan Som Lekte Med Elden (15/08/10 - Swedish)
The Catch: Lisbeth Lisbeth Lisbeth
Again, I must admit Noomi RAPACE is a very good actress. I am not familiar about her but I just love the way she brings Lisbeth's character in a very dark-gothic yet simple & sophisticated.
Can't thank enough to Stieg LARSSON for writing such a great novel & creating brilliant character!

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo / Man Som Hatar Kvinnor (12/08/10 - Swedish)
The Catch: Said to be the best trilogy ever made
Applause for Stieg LARSSON for his remarkable book. I love every twist of this movie. The dark-gothic Lisbeth SALANDER was really well-played by Noomi RAPACE. Even the director Niels ARDEN OPLEV praises her when the movie received many good reviews.
Rest assure Hollywood will create their own version, where Mikael BLOMKVIST will be played by Daniel CRAIG. As for Lisbeth, names like Natalie PORTMAN and Emma WATSON are still in the air. We'll see how the remake goes...
Can't wait for the sequels: The Girl who Played with Fire (Flickan Som Lekte Med Elden) and The Girl who Kicked Hornet's Nest (Luftslottet Som Sprangdes).
Update (22/08/10): Lisbeth's character will be played by newcomer Mara ROONEY.

The Last Airbender (06/08/10)
The Catch: If you like Lord of The Ring to be made in Chinese, then you'll like this!
Amateur actors, slow-mo actions, repeated dialog. Very disappointed...

Salt (05/08/10)
The Catch: Jolie in blond / black?
Jolie seems more natural in this movie. Like her in this one, not so Lara Croft or Mrs. Smith -i.e. too exaggerating-

After Shock (01/08/10 - Mandarin)
The Catch: ?
I thought this will be one of the historical movie emphasized. Turns out, so dramaaa...
I guess I should've seen the tagline before bought the ticket.

The Crazies (25/07/10)
The Catch: Another Romero's thriller
Not much to say, bottom line is... Useless efforts!

Sorcerer's Apprentice (24/07/10)
The Catch: (none)
At least it's making a lot more sense than Percy Jackson :p

Inception (17/07/10)
The Catch: For most ppl: LeoDiCaprio. For me: CillianMurphy
The good thing is that I completely understand where the story flows.
The bad thing is that it's so Shutter Island.
I am just happy to leave the cinema un-puzzled :D

Despicable Me (10/07/10)
The Catch: Millions of Minions
I used to like how animated character resembled to the dubber. But this one is rather different.
Let's not mention Gru, we can see the big Jason SEGEL on the contrary of skinny Vector + Russell BRAND voicing Dr. Nefario!?!?!
It said: A bad man doesn't always bad ;)

Predators (10/07/10)
The Catch: Watch a mercenaries, death squad-er, Yakuza, convicts and doctor 'working' together.
Unfortunately I have never seen the original version of Predators, so can't compare Adrien to Arnie ;)
Overall it wasn't so bad. Not too dark, at least we have a clear view of what's going on, not always swamp-ing =P
