Historically nonsensical, relatively boring and mundane flick.

Enjoyable and clever at times, but ultimately a little too teensy and pedestrian for me.

I went in there expecting not much plot but a lot of awesome stylised action sequences... and that's what I got! Lots of fun to watch.

Big Fish

2008-05-24 19:01
Whimsical, interesting-looking movie with really cute and clever stories but still ultimately lacking in coherence. Ewan McGregor is uber charming in this movie though.

Compelling and fascinating movie. It's always good to see media that in some way dispel the stupid hype about diamonds.

Casablanca

A well-done movie, with lots of charming characters and a gripping (if now cliché) storyline. I love the main song for this movie.

It's got... a couple of funny jokes I guess, but overall it was an unfunny mess of a movie.

Fight Club
10/10
2001-01-01 03:10
One of the best movies I've seen. It asks great questions about the role of men in today's society, it's got great dialogue, characterisation and plot.

A HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE MOVIE. Trite, contrived, bland and juvenile, with horrible music.

Hancock

Some funny moments, nice visuals but the plot got weird, as in not-explained-properly weird. Great first half, disappointing second half.

Lots of eye-candy, a very stylised "make-over" movie in a way.

Moulin Rouge
6/10
2007-10-13 02:10
I watched this six years after the cinematic release and meh, I find it quite disappointing. A number of songs were quite good, but there were some poor choices. Added to some overacting as well bad directing and scripts, makes for a rather mediocre musical.

Great surreal movie that's at times scary, at times confusing but it's got lots of great plot twists.

My Best Friend’s Wedding
6/10
2007-06-26 02:44
I hate Julia Robert's character so much. Mind you there wasn't anything wrong with the acting or development, she's just a hateful character. Whereas Cameron Diaz's character is just adorable.

Spider-Man 3

2007-05-03 02:51
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie! There were too many villians I guess, but I'm definitely on the side who thinks that emo-jazz-Peter Parker is totally awesome.

Super Size Me
7/10
2008-05-23 18:52
Interesting and thoughtful documentary with lots of nice facts and interviews. However, tends to be a little biased and lacking in explaining some important intervening factors, such as the fact that the dude was a vegan.

The Da Vinci Code

Eh, okay movie, at least it was shorter than the book! It wasn't as impressive to me, having already known what happens.

The Incredible Hulk
7/10
2008-07-02 19:26
Edward Norton was awesome (as always) and not as bad as I thought it would be. Standard, big-budget, action Hollywood movie. The end "villain" was really hastily put together though.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show
4/10
2007-06-26 02:47
Maybe watching it 32 years after it was made really threw me out of context. But it was all of the place and campy I felt, though I imagine it would've been quite revolutionary in themes for its time.

The Scarlet Pimpernel
10/10
2001-01-01 19:02
Argh, love this movie so much. The actors who play both Blakeney and Marguerite are just exquisite. A gripping and just heart-wrenching love story.

The Shawshank Redemption
8/10
2008-05-24 18:56
A clever and thoughtful movie, well scripted and directed. I think it tends to still make prison life a little bit too nice and straightforward though.

The Simpsons Movie
8/10
2007-07-26 02:13
The film actually was a lot better than what the trailers indicated. There were some moments were the jokes fell flat (like the ones exhibited by the trailers) but it was quite a fun and well-paced film overall.

Great movie to watch! V's so cool! Lovely themes though a bit too anarchistic for my tastes.
