Enchanted

Enchanted is one unique fairytale, a combination of Disney’s classic that we knew so well and the modern time. Beautifully done, I just love the way they started the movie with the female character called Giselle singing merrily simply bringing back memories of the old times Disney’s movies. So there she was singing with birds, squirrels, rats and deer helping around her waiting for her prince. And of course, there must be a monster trying to eat her up like some kind of gummy bear. And the prince comes to the rescue, saving the day. And their eyes met, they ride to the sunset and live happily ever after...

Nope, that’s not all! And this is where the adventure begun. An evil stepmother (of course the stepmother got to be evil, or else it won’t be a fairytale right?) is not happy with the fact that the prince wants to marry someone which in turn will be queen, by all means forcing her to be dethrone. Now, she can’t let that happen, obviously. So, she must do something which she did, resulting Giselle to be thrown into the human world and landed on New York.

And the best part is, you thought her charm doesn’t work on the real world… I mean like singing with the animals and all. But it does! She actually gets to make the cockroaches and the rats to help her doing house chores. I know, it sounded disgusting, but as soon you get pass that, you might actually laugh your heart out.

This movie is silly, to be honest. But silly in a good way, a funny way! They made the simplest thing become so funny and you just can’t stop laughing. Giselle innocence is adorable, paired with Patrick Dempsey negativities, it was just a match made in heaven.

I can’t point of anything bad or wrong about Enchanted. It simply is a fairytale and I love it. I hereby give this movie 4.5 stars!

Bee Movie

I’ve watched this movie a week ago, yet only now that I could post my review. The thing is, I’m having trouble trying to come up with any opinions about this movie. When people ask me, “Have you watched the Bee Movie?” I said, “Yeah.” But then when they proceed to asking me “So, how was it?” I said, “I don’t know.”

It’s not like I had a bad time watching the movie. And it’s not like the movie was very bad. That’s the thing, if a movie was bad, I can write a review telling you that it sucks or it’s not worth your money watching it.. etc. And if a movie was good, I’ll write, 5 stars, go watch it or something like that. But the Bee Movie.. Hmmm..

You know what’s worst than a bad movie? A forgettable one. And that’s why I don’t know what to write or comment or say about Bee movie. It’s extremely forgettable. I had a laugh, I watched it ‘till the end, but the minute I stepped out of the movie, I forgot about it. Not like I forgot what was the movie about.. That, I remember. But I couldn’t recall my thoughts about the movie because I suppose I have none. Bee Movie simply didn’t leave any impression on me.

So, how much do I give this movie? 1 stars out of 5? Whatever..

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry

I have nothing against the gay community, let me clear that up first before I go on with my review.

But I do have something against Adam Sandler. I find his accent a little annoying. However, I can’t seem to stay away from his movies. Despite that red neck accent of his, he always makes me laugh. So, I guess, good sense of humour is enough to make our relationship work, huh Sandler?

Anyway, let’s talk about Chuck and Larry. They are best friends both working as a fireman, everyday facing danger and the uncertainty whether or not they will be alive at the end of the day. While Larry worries about the well-being of his kids if he dies, Chuck busies himself playing around with girls. Until one day, they both got into an accident and Chuck realizes he should do something in order to guarantee his children’s future. Long story short, his plan requires them both to pretend to be gay.

This is when Chuck suddenly met Jessica Beil, his dream girl!

Why should you watch this movie, you may ask. Well, I have no idea why, but I’ll tell you what I think.

I like this movie because it was straight to the point. I like the fact that it didn’t drag it feet like some movie do when they want to introduce the characters. The storyline was simple combined with killer jokes that tickle you like crazy. They have just the right combination of cheesiness and humours that makes the movie an A plus comedy movie. That’s one good reason why you should watch it.

Since Chuck loves to play around with different girls every night, there were a bunch of hot and sexy girls in it. And Jessica Beil plays her character very well, along with everybody else in this movie. For guys, you’ll get your 10 seconds chance to ogle at her body which is another good reason why you should spend 10 bucks to watch this movie.

This movie wasn’t too gay, if you’re not a big fan of the gay community. Although, it does teaches you not to judge people based on their sexual preferences.. As long they’re not pedophiles, I might add. It also teaches you the value of friendship which is quite touching at some point.

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is one damn hilarious movie. It’s an ideal movie for you to just sit back and laugh your head off! I hereby award Chuck and Larry 3 stars out of 5!

Knocked Up

This is a gentle reminder about those party animals out there. One night stand could haunt your entire life. Having said that, let’s talk about the movie.

Obviously, Knocked Up is about Katherine Heigl playing Alison Scott got.. well, knocked up! And in this movie we get to see how it being knocked up affected her life and how she dealt with it. Ok, I would like to stop using the word ‘knocked up’ now.

The strength in this movie doesn’t lie in the story line. It’s in it comedy and humours. The storyline is average although they do have a good concept. And I liked the way they showed how men and women think about each other in a relationship. Not to mention that they showed it in a light and humorous way. And I kept laughing all the way till the end.

Katherine Heigl paired up with Seth Rogen seems like a ridiculous looking pair, right? It’s like beauty and the beast. I guess, it was kinda the whole point. But at the end of the day, they pulled it off and they do look like they compliment each other. Watch the movie, and then you’ll know what I mean.

If romantic movie isn’t your kind of thing, worry not, my friend. The jokes could overcome all the cheesiness in it. In fact, the jokes made the cheesy moments worth while. Word on the street is, people tend to compare this movie with the 40 year old virgin. I don’t really get why. Well, of course it was directed by the same person, still, these movies are entirely opposites. But for what it worth, I like this one better that the 40 year old virgin.

I had fun watching this movie however, it isn’t that memorable. I may laugh while watching it but it’s not one of those that kept you smiling after you walked out of the movie theatre. And because of that, I’m giving this movie 2.5 stars out of 5.

Evan Almighty

Honestly, the main reason why I wanted to watch this movie is because I wanted to see Lauren Graham since I'm a big fan of the Gilmore Girls.

Evan Almighty is a straight forward movie, reenacting Noah's journey about building an ark. Showing you how a congressman, chosen by god to save people and the animal from the big flood. I enjoyed it nonetheless. It's silly and funny. The animals are fun to watch. Plus, to see Morgan Freeman as god was pretty entertaining.

This movie is light and relaxing. Portrays a family that's falling apart because of the madness but still managed to find their way back to each other. Suitable for parents to take their kids to, I'm sure they will love it. But for the others, other than a few good laugh, it's just another movie.

For this one, I'll give 3 stars as this is a good kiddie movie though. Kinda remind me of Jumanji.

Ocean's Thirteen

Ocean's 11, Ocean's 12 and now.. Ocean's 13. The gang is back in business. Only this time, they're more interested in revenge after a casino owner Willie Bank (Al Pacino) double-crossed one of the ocean's member, Reuben (Elliot Gould). Their plan was to make Willie loose a lot of money by sabotaging his casino's grand opening night.

The best part about this movie is seeing the plan coming together and their solutions to every single glitch that they encountered. And what made the movie more exciting is, how they tried to mess around with the casino without being caught. It's hilarious! I had fun watching the Oceans work together yet again.

Compare to the other Ocean's movies, I must say this one is the best. The plot is better than ever and the guys are as cool as always. So, what else could you ask for, right? It's perfect. And how George Clooney and Brad Pitt keep having those 'talk' about relationship tickled me. Especially when they cried watching Oprah!

Would I watch this movie again? Oh, yes! I'll give the Ocean's Thirteen 4 stars!

Rush Hour 3

Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan have this bond between each other. When they act together, it put a smile on your face. Chris's wit and Jackie's innocent look. It made you laugh uncontrollably. And this time, they're going to Paris!

It has good action scene as the Rush Hour 1 and 2 always delivered. However, i must say, I'm a little dissapointed with this one. Don't get me wrong, it's a good movie and I enjoyed it very much. But as the third Rush Hour you expect it to be better than the prequels right? Sadly for me, it's not. In fact, I think it's the weakest one.

It's hilarious and I had a good laugh. But once a while, I can't help but feel that some of the jokes are a bit cheap and desperate which I expect better from Rush Hour. Maybe this time they're trying too hard. Or maybe you just couldn't make the movie any better the one before was already the best. I don't know.. All I know is, Rush Hour 3 is the weakest one compare to the Rush Hour 1 and 2.

So, I hereby give this movie 2.5 stars.
