I have decided to quit doing quicky movie reviews. Moving forward I would be listing the title, my rating, and a sentence or two on what I think about the movie. And here we go...
Gran Torino (5/5). Another wonderfully-made movie from Clint Eastwood. Watch this!
Enduring Love (5/5). Rhys (Notting Hill) stalks Craig (Casino Royale) after they get involved in a hot air balloon rescue attempt gone awry. Great! Watch this!
Sophie's Choice (4.5/5). A couple and an aspiring writer meet in New York and embark in a complicated friendship. It also is about the Holocaust. Watch this!
Me and You and Everyone We Know (4.5/5). A quirky film consisting of several intertwining love stories. Watch this.
He's Just Not That Into You (4.5/5). I don't think this is a chick flick. It's not cheesy and actually quite wonderful to watch. Watch this!
A Room with a View (4/5). One of the great Merchant-Ivory productions released in the 90s. A love story set in the 19th century. Nice.
Wendy and Lucy (3.5/5). A heartbreaking story of a girl and her dog stuck in a sleepy town in America. Michelle Williams is a gem.
T2 (3.5/5). If you expect a screamfest ala Feng Shui and Sukob then this film will disappoint you. The first part plays out like a domestic drama, the middle part is terrific, the end is duh.
Fast and Furious (3/5). Major characters from the first 3 installments gather in this fourth movie of car racing. There is nothing new in this movie that I haven;t seen before. Same old, same old.
The Good Girl (2.5/5). I read somewhere many years ago that this was a good movie. I don't think it is. Drab.
I'm Not There (2.5/5). I don't understand why this film was praised by critics. Is it because I don't know any of Bob Dylan's songs which by the way is the inspiration for the film?

this shows how less time i give in to movies nowadays in exchange to traveling. i didnt watch any of the movies in your list. but looks like i need to watch gran torino.
I remember watching Enduring Love a few years ago. Daniel Craig wasn't the famous actor he was then. I've always been a fan of Craig; I like him in The Mother and Sylvia. I was a bit disappointed when he went mainstream.
I wish I had all the time to watch this much film to give a single blog entry. Way to go!
dong > its cheaper watching movies at home than travel. hehe.
andy > so ayaw mo sya as james bond?
inkversified > matagal ko na napanood ung iba sa listahan. ngayon ko lang na-compile. and thanks for visiting. :D
I like Craig more as a character actor; mejo ilang ako whenever I see him doing Tom Cruise roles.
thanks for the movie list, this should keep me occupied for the next few days after graduation. :-p
dalawa lang nakita ko rito. gran torino at sophie's choice.
gran torino is grand. sophie's choice (book and movie) is a heartbreaking study of human nature and the unexplainable split-second decisions we make. (i hope no one goes through that kind of a wringer).
only saw T2 and He's Just Not That Into You in your list...
Probably The Good Girl too if that's the one with Jen Aniston...
sonia > graduation?
atticus > oo nga. ang lupit ng scene though.
gillboard > si jen aniston nga sa the good girl.
