Revolutionary Road

I don't really get what is this story about, but since this movie has won Oscar so I guess this must be good.

The story told us about the suburban life of an ex-actress and a guy. Their life is sure jagged every now and then but they'll come across. They both wanna live in Paris but then the husband got promoted. This brought a whole new conflict to the marriage.

I give this one 4 stars out of 10 (because I'm too dumb to understand).

17 Again

Okay, when I first watched this movie, for the first 20 minutes or so I thought that this movie is a joke. The hair style that Zac had, and all and all. But I tell u, after 30 minutes, it all became so awesome! The jokes are pretty funny and the story, even though kinda classic (like Freaky Friday) but still okay.

The story is pretty much about how young Zac who didn't go to college because he wanted to marry his love. 30 years later he spent his life grudging about that decision, resulting in divorce.

Then he wished to be young once again and he did. He then re-work on his relationship with his spouse and kids.

And there's also this character Ned, who was a nerd back in high school, he was in crush with the school's headmistress and the both turned out to be nerds. They even speak elfish. XD

I recommend to watch this movie if you want to have some laugh. I give 7 out of 10 stars.

Coraline

This movie is brilliant! I liked it. Even though a bit boring at the beginning and ending.

This story told us about a little girl named Coraline (not Caroline) who has just moved into her new house. Her parents are not very varing to her and so she one night found a passage into a new, exactly as her imagination parallel world.

At first she was very comfortable in there, but it grew to be a trap to keep her forever there.

You should watch it. I give out 8 out of 10 stars for this movie.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Now, this is my 2009 most wanted movie. And I loved it, even though I was sometimes a bit frustrated at how things were changed in this movie. I have watched it twice and I loved every minute of it.

Harry in this year would dicscover the secret of Voldemort's immortality: by using horcrux. However, it is a very difficult task to search for it, and don't mention destroy it. For retrieving one, Dumbledore ended up died. Killed by Severus Snape. Well, it was one of the saddest moment in the movie.

Magic wasn't very exposed here, and some characters have never appeared such as Vernon, Petunia, Dudley, Cho Chang. Oh, and the kissing scene with Ginny, euw.

I was kinda angry when David Yates told that Hermione and Ron have sparks, and so with Harry and Ginny, because it ruined the very essence of the book seventh. We will not be surprised by the chapter "30 Years Later" because we would've figured who ended up with who. So it's kinda reckless.

The story itself was pretty dark, and so the ones that didn't read the book wouldn't understand and therefore made judgement that this movie sucks. I can't blame them, for a movie suppose to not leave any question.

It's kinda funny that the tagline "I'm safe with you, Harry" actually didn't appear in the movie. I was waiting for that!

Okay, I loved the story, love the soundtrack. Hahaha... I give it 9 out of 10 stars for it.

Megan Fox: A Granny or Tranny?!

Okay, some people might have heard of it already, and some haven't. So I will tell you guys again, just in case. There's a wild rumor lately since the release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen that said that Megan Fox was actually a man (transgender she is). A lot of conspiracy here and there, and this is the news I got from www.weeklyworldnews.com:

The internet has been abuzz since this Sunday’s Golden Globes ceremony, where Megan Fox jokingly remarked that she looked like a man. When interviewed on the red carpet, she said “I look like Alan Alda in drag. I’m a tranny. I’m a man.”

At the time, reporters passed it off as a jovial attempt to cover for her nerves. However, today she has cleared the air and officially reported: she’s really a man.

Megan Fox was born Mitchell Reed Fox in Rockwood, Tennessee. From an early age, Mitchell showed an interest in both performing and women’s clothing. When having a preacher lay hands on him did not ‘cure’ him of these interests, his parents simply put him on the pageant circuit.

By the age of 13, Mitchell had already started a career as a female child performer called ‘Megan Fox’. Making her debut on an Olsen Twins straight-to-video release, the twins have kept his secret all this time.

As a sweet 16 present, Fox’s parents offered him sexual reassignment surgery, which, given their child’s career, they’d hoped to write off as a business expense. Unfortunately laws prohibit such surgery to be done to minors.

Since then Megan has been working non-stop, and been included on many Hottest Women lists in publications around the world. Megan, as she goes by now exclusively, also noted this Sunday how much she wants Salma Hayek’s figure. She has even scheduled surgery later this month to get it. After the two met in New York this week, Hayek offered to have a cast made of her bust so doctors can match them exactly on Megan Fox’s chest.

The internet is already speculating whether this news will be worked into the plot of the upcoming Transformers sequel.

Okay the last paragraph doesn't seem to be real but hey, it's not mine to judge. =)

However, IMO I think this is bull crap. Kinda fake like how come Salma Hayek would agree?

Without You, It's Nothing

I was browsing my forum when I found this very very romantic poem. It's originally in chinese but I'll translate it for you!

无解的眼神心像海底针
光是猜测我食欲不振
有点烦人又有点迷人
浪漫没天分反应都迟钝
不够精神花挑错颜色
但很矛盾喜欢你的笨

微笑　再美　再甜　不是你的　都不特别
眼泪　再苦　再咸　有你安慰　又是晴天
靠的　再近　再贴　少了拥抱　就算太远

全世界只对你有感觉

玩的　再疯　再野　你瞪一眼　我就收敛
马路　再宽　再远　只要你牵　就很安全

Translation:
The stare of worry makes a needle oceanbed
To guess only makes me can't eat and drink
A bit annoying yet also a bit interesting
Without the gift of romance it'd make awkward reaction
Without spirit flowers are wrong colours
But very confusing I dumbly like you

Smile, even prettier, even sweeter, if it's not yours, then isn't special
Tears, even bitter, even saltier, with your loving embrace, it all gonna be sunny day
Leaning, even closer, even stickier, without hug, will be too far

In the world, only to you I have feeling

Playing, even crazier, even wilder, if only you stare me, I will stop
Road, even wider, ever further, with you holding my hand, it's all gonna be safe

Well, it's different between chinese and english literature so it might not be as romantic as it really meant when translated. (It might also be a denial of my bad translating skill) =)

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Well, just like its predecessor, it is a very very long movie. I got flat ass watching this one.

The story centers Sam now go to college, and met his new roommate Leo. He started to see symbols in his head after he touched some sort of allspark fragment. Then there comes the pursuit of Sam Witwicky by the decepticons, while the autobots protected him.

Some interesting stuffs in this movie are that there are actually female transformers, which didn't really get anything important except they're fast. Then one of the autobots had actually a pair of red eyes, instead of blue. And devastator (the emerged transformer from multiple tranformers) had green eyes.

Mikaela Banes a.k.a Megan Fox. Now this one I like. But I was wondering the entire movie, could she keep her mouth shut? She always doesn't really shut her mouth. Hot though. But to be paired again with Shia, kinda awkward for me. I mean, the prequel was just ok, but this time, 2 years later, Megan became much more of an adult but Shia still stays the same with tiny body. So it was like a younger guy with older girlfriend. Uh huh.

Overall this one is good, even sometimes I got confused what am I seeing, a face, a body or what?

I give 9 stars out of 10 for this one.
