41. The Illusionist (3/5)

Well, this one is a break from usual cartoons I had watched. It is a full of drama, and realness on its theme.

To be honest, I felt sleepy and really slept on the first part of the movie. I watched it the next day, and it was profound. I guess the reason why I felt asleep is that it is in French, no subtitles. It feels like you are watching Mr. Bean all turned in to an old man in a dramatic cartoon. But isn't it amazing that you would still understand it without subtitles? Amazing. :)

But, the movie is great. Profound story, and real. :)

I give this movie 3/5 

40. Bourne Identity (3/5)

This is another movie from our DVD pile. It is a great movie, you discover and journey the answers with the protagonist. It is also exciting at some points.

Matt Damon bores me too. He is hot and all that, but he feels like Channing Tatum-- hot and sexy, yet boring.  Hahaha! Who am I to react this way?

Kudos to Doug Liman for directing this movie. It is great. Thanks to Robert Ludlum for a great piece of literature. :)

I give this movie 3/5  

39. Full Monty (2/5)

This is another movie watched from our piles of DVD. I just discovered that I haven't watched 25% of the movies we have. You know, the 15 in 1 movies? Yes, I overlooked at some movies.

Now, I was surprised to know that this is a movie about a group of aspiring strippers. Knowing the reasons behind wanting to strip and the doubts to really go after it is interesting. You'll see how people could be different and diverse.

Gonna comment on the writer: Simon Beaufoy... it is nice knowing he had also written the screenplay for slumdog millionaire and 127 hours. Nice, I mean, screenplay is a big part of the movie-- screenplay writers are great story writers. They know what is more effective plot to use.


I give this movie 2/5

38. G.I. Joe (2/5)

My bad, it had been days since I watched this movie. I am trying my best to remember what I felt.

Well, I thought of watching action for a change. Browsed through the DVD pile we have at home and I chose this. It was full of action from start to finish, and at some point I find the action scenes uber the top and too much. It was really exhilarating, but you know... I am somehow looking for drama too.

But then again, kudos to the brilliant scenes. I love the revelation in the end-- gives you answers why Scarlet and the other characters are like that.  The revelation parts makes me sigh and say: at least there is a story. :)

P.S. Just want to comment of Channing Tatum. He is hot alright, but I am not so much in to him. He feels like Richard Guiterez, he is handsome alright, but his face is so expressionless. Makes me feel bored. He doesn't even mystify me. Hahaha, peace out. His body is so hot, but... I don't know.

I give this movie a 2/5
