The Eagle

Jamie Bell is THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Channing is not bad too...  The movie don't really have visible and obvious flaw..... for me, its 5/5 stars!!! :P

Recommended for people who likes war, history, and deep movies. Not that much fighting scenes though, but enough...

I am number FOUR!

4 is my favourite number, but that's not what this post is about... as all the people who don't live inside a coconut (katak dalam tempurung???) clearly knows that 'I am number four' is a movie that starts Quinn Fabray from Glee.. yes, I know that doesn't have anything to do with the story. :P

I watched this one with my little sister during one of her weekend stints away from boarding school that bores the hell out of her... anyway, so we went shopping, and after that just decided to watch a movie.. and as the timing was perfect (we were like 5 min late, maybe..) I went for it as it has been a boring holiday cooped up in my toaster of a room watching episodes of Glee, GossipGirl, HIMYM, and some new episodes of Community.

Anyways, I actually thought that this one is a thriller, turns out it's just another crazy story about aliens living among us. The acting was okay i guess, but the storyline is what i do not like. However, the action scenes were marvelous. Added bonus, there's an extremely cute dog that's gonna limp his way into your hearts. Awww~~~~

I'd give it a 3 out of 5... coz I don't think that the acting and script was strong enough... and one more thing, if it doesn't have a sequel, I'm gonna be VERY pissed coz the ending is hanging.... and I'm a sucker for full closure~

The Way Home

I had been on a long hiatus of watching movies in the cinema and I decided to go watch a serious movie alone... this one caught my eye, or more accurate is that it's the only one that looks good and serious enough that none of my friends would want to accompany me watch it.. :P

The Way Back is a movie that was made so meticulously and so dear to the original settings that you can't even believe it had a star studded cast. They were ALL in shambles since this movie is set in the time of communism and world war. Even the dashingly handsome Colin Farrel looked like a thug, and a disgusting one at that. Saoirse's performance was good, better than in The Lovely Bones, which was already a great performance from her. Jim Sturges was stunning, both in performance and in looks.... I almost forgot him after his performance in 21, and this just means to me that he will be here not just yesterday or today, but in the days to come as one amazing acting talent in Hollywood. Ed Harris was, well, Ed Harris! 

Such a beautiful story told in such precision and detail that it reminds me why I love this movie genre... because of it's ability to move hearts without having too many lines or sound effects.. :P

*not for everyone though!*
