I just watched it. I rate 2/5. I had high expectation but didn't turn out as good as I thought it will be.

I think I noticed, his movies, although it's supposed to be a comedy, he always have to slot in something emotional, sad or somebody doing something stupid and be remorseful about it...

Hate that. I prefer Amy Daze over this.... too much drama in a comedy.

to me, 2/5 consider fail. :D maybe i will just buy a DVD from JB :twisted:

i think he is running out of ideas liao. he shld shoot a erotic movie abt his toyota alphard and then slot in something emotional after everyone know he did something stupid. :lol:

CoolieND wrote:A few good movies I've seen in teh past 1 year or so (no particular order):
Black Swan
Leon: The Professional
Wall-E
Inception
The Departed
Good Night and Good Luck
Shawshank Redemption
Silence of the Lambs
Goodfellas
Casino
A Bronx Tale
Stardust
Scent of a Woman
The Forbidden Kingdom
Once Upon a Time in China
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Sleuth (the original, not that remake w/ Jude Law)
Gattaca
Sherlock Holmes
Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels
Snatch
Sunshine
SeaBiscuit
The Men Who Stare at Goats
True Grit

Speaking of Jeff Bridges (until recently quite underrated): The Big Lebowski was a very fun movie. Coen Brothers went away from their dark comedy side (a bit). A Top 5 all time for me. Up there w/ Shawshank, The Godfather & Fight Club in my opinion.


And a few non-Hollywood fims:
Rashomon
Okuribito
Kondo wa Aisaika (A Good Husband)
Ip Man
Hero
Fearless
Life is Beautiful

should watch crazy heart , jeff bridges
very good show that won the oscars... not rly a big box office hit though

For a moment I thought the CHEONG seikos had attacked openly in the market. Duh... It's just a movie thread.

Attack of the clones still not as bad as The Phantom Menace . Jar jar binks should never have existed :x . I think the saving grace for AOTC is the Lightsaber duel :) . Out of the 3 prequels , Revenge of the Sith is the best , or at least to me , it is .
