Ok, I think I am so lag in updating the movies I have watched for the past few weeks. And of course, I have been watching during my leisure time because it’s the cheapest entertainment I can find. Whatever it is, I watched a few movies over the few weekends. So perhaps, I can share with you what’s nice and what’s not.

I will start with “The curious case of Benjamin Button” by Brad Pitt. This story is about a baby who was born in a body of 85 years old. And when everyone thinks he’s dying soon, he gets younger and stronger each day! He got closed with a girl named Daisy whose grandmother was living in the nursing home. And he decided to work for a term long at the tugboat with Captain Mike (which Daisy told Benjamin to send her postcards from everywhere) and during their free time, Captain Mike brought him to brothels and pubs. While Daisy became a very successful dancer along the way. And she was very upset when Benjamin fell in love with a British woman who was married but continues to have an affair with him. After that Benjamin meets up with Daisy again, this time after Daisy met up with an accident ending her career in dancing. They did not get married officially, bore a daughter whose name was Caroline and Benjamin who believes that he can’t be the burden for Daisy decided to leave. He came back looking for Daisy as a youth. And on the day he passed away, he became a baby in Daisy’s arm.

The movie itself is long, and you might think it’s draggy because after all the whole movie is just about Benjamin Button’s unusual life. Of course, the summary is not everything, because it will be too much details if I were to write it here. So watch it for yourself.

Next, “Valkyrie” by Tom Curise. The movie setting is in World War II. Focusing on July 20, 1944 ploted by the Germans to assassinate Adolf Hilter and to use Operation Valkyrie national emergency plan to take control of the country. Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg became the mastermind in planning the assassination of Adolf Hilter. He plants the bomb in the meeting with Adolf Hilter and leave the scene before the bomb exploded. And have activated the Operation Valkyrie and was in the process of taking over Germany and most importantly Berlin. As night falls, the rumor death of Adolf Hilter was cleared when he addressed the nation via radio. And the operation was failed and the people who are involved in this operation was arrested and shot to death.

It’s a real life story. How many people have the courage to assassin someone who great powers (let’s not mention the poor presidents who got assassinated during visits to somewhere else.. because for some reasons, it’s seems much more easier to assassinate the president in the past than assassinating Adolf Hilter.) and the best thing is, it’s so hard to kill him even though he’s so near. Whatever it is, I am so glad that WWII is OVER.

And the next movie we talk about will be “Bride Wars” by Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway. The movie is about 2 young girls became best friends and swore to have their wedding at The Plaza. And now that they are in their late 20s, their boyfriends proposed making them realized that they are closer in fulfiling their dreams. Now things turned out bad because the wedding planner made some mistakes and thus making their wedding on the same day. Not willing to give in, the friendship between them turned sour. So, they came up with ideas to make themselves look the best on their wedding day and of course, they tried to sabotage each other’s plan to look good. On the wedding day itself, Anne Hathaway decides that her boyfriend loved her old self and attends Kate Hudson’s wedding. The movie ends with Anne Hathaway married to Kate Hudson’s brother.

It’s a girlie show lah. But it doesn’t turn out to be as funny as I thought it will be. Teck Yong says it’s not realiztic because girls won’t just be best friend again in just spilt seconds. Perhaps he’s right. Haha. Perhaps if I were to quarrel with my best friend some day, I don’t know when I will be talking to them. Like, I wasn’t very happy about the Partyworld incident, I haven’t really been talking to the girls. So broken hearted can? =[ Their MSN buddy isn’t me.

Next movie will be “Outlander“. Ok, this is a sci-fi movie. Quoted from Cathay: During the reign of the Vikings, Kainan (Caviezel), a man from a far-off world, crash lands on Earth, bringing with him an alien predator known as the Moorwen. Though both man and monster are seeking revenge for violence committed against them, Kainan leads the alliance to kill the Moorwen by fusing his advanced technology with the Viking’s Iron Age weaponry.

It looks like an human (an alien look alike human) came from an unknown world a.k.a outer space, whose space ship crushed into earth. And what makes it worse was the space ship brought an alien predator which looks like a dinosaur that GLOWS. Outrageous it looks to me. Totally crap. And I think I am good enough to give it 2 stars.

And all the movies, I watched with Teck Yong. Haha. He’s my singing kahkis + pool kahkis + movie kahkis. But I’m definetely not his bowling kahkis because I am super lousy at that.

I have finally catch the movie “He’s just not that into you” today with Sue. Have been wanting to watch this movie since last week and I think Teck Yong might not be too interested to watch this with me (i personally thinks this is a very girlie movie) but I know he will still watch it with me if I really want. =] Nevertheless, the movie is about girls (or women) looking for love. Their motto: it’s either we married or we break up.

When a guy told you “it’s nice meeting you” and doesn’t calls back, he’s not interested in you.

When a guy told you “what’s the best that happens to me today is me knowing you” and you exchanged name cards during happy hour, he’s not interested in you.

If a guy is truly interested in you, he will take whatever it takes to date you out.

Ahhhh, so sweet isn’t it? The movie is indeed a bit too long. It’s 2 hrs without realizing. Oh my. But the story line, I think it’s kinda predictable.
