My Comment:
I was really excited to see the movie because there were a lot of praise to it and because of Jay Chou was in it. I wanted to see his acting in this movie. Well, I really didn't like the beginning of this movie, because it was trying to be funny but not. Seth Rogen and Jay Chou were not really great to play the character, not blend with each other. Damn, the jokes were cheesy. But, It got better from the middle through the end, it's getting funnier and the action covered the bad actings of the two characters. Christoph played Bloodnufsky pretty well. Overall, I gave two thumbs up for the action things.

The Holiday (2006)

Plot:
Two women troubled with guy-problems swap homes in each other's countries, where they each meet a local guy and fall in love.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457939/

My Comment:
Yeah, wow, wonderful! It's funny, romantic, touching and yeah, inspiring. What I really like is this movie adopted a lot of other movie's soundtracks, Ennio Morricone and John Williams. Feels good imagining another movie while watching this movie. I like the trailer background voice! Jude Law's hot! However, because there was two stories in it, I got a little bit confused about them and about the climax (seemed there was any). Recommended Movie!

Eat Pray Love (2010)

Plot:
A married woman realizes how unhappy her marriage really is, and that her life needs to go in a different direction. After a painful divorce, she takes off on a round-the-world journey to "find herself".
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0879870/

My Comment:
I must say that this was not a very good big-budget movie. Eat Pray Love is a movie based on a book. My opinion is that if you want to make a movie adapted from a book, it may turn into a good movie or a disaster. This movie could be the last option that it could turn to, however I must give other considerations like description of magnificent countries and their cultures, for example: Italian food. Overall, it was so ordinary for a big time spender.

Plot:
A mountain climber becomes trapped under a boulder while canyoneering alone near Moab, Utah and resorts to desperate measures in order to survive.

My Comment:
Before I watched this movie, my friends had reminded me about the self-surgeon scene. It made me felt more curious. So, there I was, watching this movie. Before the "scene", I was hoping that the scene was not true, yet the scene was there with my hands covered my eyes (I did sneak). The fact was several people fainted while watching this movie. Despite the scene, this movie was really exciting and very accurate (Aron said: "so factually accurate it is as close to a documentary as you can get and still be a drama"). No wonder that this movie nominated for golden globes and oscars, way to go! PS: Danny Boyle used A. R. Rahman for this movie's music, again.

My Comment:
It was cool. I got my gag from some scenes. Nice plot! However, it was so typical of Steve Carell, so I got a little bored. But, overall, it was nicely done, love the accent's goofs scenes.

My Comment:
Before this movie was published, i was so excited. Because the character i used to use when i played marvel games would become real. And this movie made me quite satisfied. All I'd imagined were real and I really liked the story. I can't be boring watching this movie over and over again. And Tobey was just a perfect guy for this movie.

My Comment:
I wasn't too excited, a little bit boring
The plot was running slow
But, i realized one thing, that we are equal, gay, black people, religion people. Sometimes we forget about that... this movie delivered very well
That to make changes, we have to sacrifice
