somewhat sille, that's me!

i think i've watched more movies this year than in the past 5 years combined. hahaha.. just a quick 2-sen's worth on the ones i've seen the past 2 weeks alone.

how to train your dragon

so cute! someone told me that the animators were the same as those who worked on lilo & stitch (seen in the similar mischievous behavior of both creatures), but i didn't like L&S. gosh, i wish i'd a Night Terror for a pet! hehe.. can fly to work everyday. haha..

alice in wonderland

i was rather disappointed with this i must say. i loved the psychedelic colours and the quirky characters, but the storyline was rather weak. i wish tim burton had just stuck to the original instead of giving us this. plus, i didn't quite like this alice. hehe.. call me superficial, but i didn't think she was attractive, nor did i like her acting. :P someone suggested that tim burton's choices of female leads have never been the conventional beauty type. true dat.

up in the air

did i like it? mmhmm. i might have, a little. clooney's ryan bringham was good on his own, even up to his flirting and hook-up with vera farmiga's alex goran. but after that it was kinda bleh. anna kendrick was good here as the bright-eyed overachieving new blood who got a rude shock about the reality of their business (they call themselves 'transition counsellors', people hired by bosses who are too chicken to lay off their staff. i wonder if this is a real job.) so, did i like it? again, just a little.

kick-ass

i normally would pass up on a movie i know is littered with profanity (no sam l. jackson movies for me!) but i succumbed to the gushing reviews i read.. and realised after the movie that most of the reviewers must have been guys. it was such a dude movie. i didn't quite like it.. i like the premise of the show, but.. mm, i don't know. hit girl (the purple one in the poster) on the other hand was awwwesome haha (though i'd to work triply hard to filter out her curse-a-min dialogue.. man, can she swear! i was kinda torn abt her charac - but i hope they make a spin off of her character. hehe..)

the blind side

yaaaawn. this was so boring i couldn't finish it. can't believe sandra bullock won the oscars for this. i like her lots, but this? i'd sooner give her the statue for ms congeniality. there's something just so "off" about this movie. maybe it's her too perfect a family. could be the dialogue too. the editing? whatever la, i just don't like this. sorry, sandy.

shutter island

this was the best of whole lot! a good page-turner of a movie. glad i didn't read any reviews prior to watching.. cos for some reason, overtly zealous scorcese fans were dissing this movie, saying it wasn't his best blah blah.. hello, it was so good i will watch it again. we shall take a moment here to appreciate the gravity of what i've just said, because there isn't a single movie that isn't funny or isn't an animation that has make me to want to re-watch (as far as my mind can search la, but we all know how limited that search function is haha), so yeah this movie is that good! although i kinda wrote off leo dicaprio after titanic, he's proven to be very watchable since. there were some points that were a little draggy, but overall, a gripping thriller i really like. :)
