No Strings Attached (2011)

>> Thursday, March 8, 2012



Plot:
A guy and girl try to keep their relationship strictly physical, but it's not long before they learn that they want something more

My Comment:
It was horrible! Friends With Benefit is so much better than this movie. The plot was pretty much the same, but I can feel that this movie has a lot of fake-ness in each scene. Natalie's act was so fake. The jokes were okay, giggled a few times, but still, FAKE.

My Comment:
Contains *SPOILER*
My reaction after watching... "What the hell...". Yeah! No kidding
Okay first of all, let us scrutinize the title: Princess: A modern fairytale. What came in my mind was a princess (modern one) not using real princess clothing. Do you really have to wear that? Even though she's not living in the city, but she's still in the big city. Never mind that, it is still okay.
Then the men were talking about sex, how to get the princess laid. This is a princess movie right which can be considered as kids movie? It's just not making sense. The plot was okay, but the acts were horrible.

Holiday In Handcuffs (TV) (2007)

>> Saturday, December 3, 2011



Plot:
A struggling artist working as waitress kidnaps one of her customers to bring home and meet her parents at Christmas.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0938666/

My Comment:
Not bad for a tv movie. A perfect movie for movie marathon on the holiday. Mario Lopez as always is charming and sexy. Melissa Joan Hart played a good role too. I really like the plot. Some scenes cracked me. But something is bothering me, how could you possibly be in love with just a little amount of time and no chemistry between those two persons?
Overall, let's just say thank God I was not wasting my money to watch this in the theater, but still good to watch.
PS: The youtube video that I put below contains spoiler!

Elle: A Modern Cinderella Tale (2010)

>> Tuesday, November 29, 2011



Plot:
Elle wants to be a singer/songwriter, but her dreams are cut short by the sudden death of her parents. She moves in with her adoptive uncle, who runs a small independent record label whose biggest act, Sensation, is also Elle's biggest pain. The pop music environment at the label, very different than the country roots she is used to, adds to Elle's feelings of loss and frustration, and her misplaced guilt, which is caused by the fact that her parents had been en route to her performance at the time of her death. But when she meets Ty Parker, a famous pop singer with a passion for "real" music, her repressed ambition is released through a revitalized interest in singing and songwriting
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1436372/

My Comment:
Okay Netflix, do you have others worse than this? This movie is such a failure. First of all, I'm up for every movies with the fairy tale theme. But this is beyond fairy tale. The actors suck, they could not act! The editing sucks too! The plot was okay though but seriously, even other Sterling Knight movies are even better than this (sarcasm).

Anastasia (1956)

>> Saturday, November 19, 2011



Plot:
An opportunistic Russian businessman tries to pass a mysterious impostor as the Grand Duchess Anastasia. But she is so convincing in her performance that even the biggest skeptics believe her.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048947/

My Comment:
I smirked all the time during the movie. I never imagined that it would be an exaggerated dramatic movie. The cartoon version of Anastasia no doubt is dazzling, however the real live action is disappointing. I could not feel the love between the General and Anastasia, could not see it in their eyes. The only good thing about this movie is Helen Hayes, she was marvelous, that was the real acting. I do not like how they talked so fast without emotionally attached with what they're saying...

Kissing Cousins (2008)

>> Wednesday, October 19, 2011



Plot:
A "relatively" romantic comedy about a professional heartbreaker (and cynical bachelor) who teams up with his attractive cousin from the UK in order to fool his friends into believing he is capable of a relationship. Hijinks and laughs ensue with a hilarious cast!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0822819/

My Comment:
I was hoping to get a wonderful love story, but I am disappointed. I get the moral story that being a loner is not cool. But overall it was just so boring, and the actors played horribly. The bond between the characters seemed so fake. The relationship between Amir and his best friends seemed unreal. I really hate the character of the lead actor. Failed!

Ever After: A Cinderella Story (1998)

>> Monday, October 17, 2011



Plot:
The "real" story of Cinderella. A refreshing new take on the classic fairy tale.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120631/

My Comment:
I always love Cinderella story, and this version is the best version i have ever seen. As we know that fairy tale is not as perfect as we think. This movie interprets it well. Not only sad and happy, this movie also has its wit. It is funny, motivating, and somewhat unpredictable. The only problem that I found is that I could not feel enough love.

There she learns to be come a teacher and eventually seeks employment outside the school. Her advertisement is answered by the housekeeper of Thornfield Hall, Mrs. Fairfax. Written by Volker Boehm
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116684/

My Comment:
I was really touched by this movie. Tearjerker since the first scene. It was a harsh, painful journey for Jane, and during the movie I was hoping that it would be a happy ending, a happy situation for Jane. It turned out that way, however, I am not satisfied because in the end I only felt gloomy. The actors were great, they played really good, I just do not fond of the ending, I should try to watch another Jane Eyre version and compare it to this movie.

Plot:
In rural 1800s England things go bad for a young matchmaker after she finds a man for another woman.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116191/

My Comment:
I was excited to watch this movie since I am a fan of Jane Austen. A lot of people praise this movie, but in contrast, I am disappointed. I have not read the book yet, but I am sure the original story is lovely. I must say that this movie is a failure. Boring and unexpected quality of Gwyneth. And the worst thing was, no love sparks and chemistry between the leading actors. However, there is still a good thing about this movie. I love the ending.

>> Sunday, September 11, 2011



Plot:
At 10, Fanny Price, a poor relation, goes to live at Mansfield Park, the estate of her aunt's husband, Sir Thomas. Clever, studious, and a writer with an ironic imagination and fine moral compass, she becomes especially close to Edmund, Thomas's younger son. Fanny is soon possessed of beauty as well as a keen mind and comes to the attention of a neighbor, Henry Crawford. Thomas promotes this match, but to his displeasure, Fanny has a mind of her own, asking Henry to prove himself worthy.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0178737/

My Comment:
I always love the arts of Jane Austen, romantic and unpredictable. Some people might say that this movie is not as good as the book, but for me, it's enough to get the chemistry of love. The actors were stunning and somehow it's as if I was in the movie. Prejudice, unrequited love, confusion, romance were merged in this movie. However, I could feel that we need more scenes, especially for the love scenes

Plot:
A father's life unravels while he deals with a marital crisis and tries to manage his relationship with his children.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1570728/

My Comment:
Finally! Found a good movie to watch. This movie was simple, yet funny and inspiring. All of the actors played their roles remarkably. I can see the love sparkles between the actors and the script was lovable and not exaggerated. Ryan Gosling was totally hot, Emma Stone was incredibly beautiful. This movie makes me want to love someone... Cause true love exists.

Bride & Prejudice (2004)

>> Sunday, August 7, 2011



Plot:
Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice gets a Bollywood treatment.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361411/

My Comment:
This movie is good in its unique way. Some people may not be pleased because it's different from the original plot of Jane Austen. The chemistry between the leading actors were lacking, but somehow this movie got the romance. It was weird to see such well-known "Pride and Prejudice" in Bollywood and I couldn't stop laughing. It's as if there's a little India in everyone, when they're dancing and singing... Compared to American version of Pride and Prejudice, this movie is way better.

Friends With Benefit (2011)

>> Sunday, July 31, 2011



Plot:
While trying to avoid the clichés of Hollywood romantic comedies, Dylan and Jamie soon discover however that adding the act of sex to their friendship does lead to complications.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1632708/?licb=0.39441894536594735

My Comment:
Wew, felt like hours! I'm not saying that this movie was not good, it's pretty good though with the help of funny sex scenes and famous actors that played in it (except Justin and Mila). I like Justin and Mila, but... I couldn't feel the chemistry and sometimes during the movie, I felt that they didn't give their best in acting.

NB: No kids allowed!

But with the help of his best friend Felix's sister Kelly, he follows his ex into the school's spring musical.

Written by Will Nixon.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0192071/

My Comment:
I don't like this movie at all. The idea that many famous actors play in it, Doesn't work! I hate that the main character was so dramatic and girly, and no love chemistry! Thank God, Ben Foster was saved by playing "The Messenger". This movie was his worst. The only good thing in this movie is the soundtrack. Period.

My Comment:
I didn't expect this movie would be good, and that's true. It is boring. The story was pretty good though, the past haunts you when you've already taken the big step. But the idea of each scene is ordinary, nothing special. It's only 90 minutes but it felt like hours. Overall, nahh, it's not good.

Waiting For Forever (2010)

Plot:
A Hollywood-set romantic tale of a guy who is content to live his life without a job yet with the love of his life, a young actress
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1296898/

My Comment:
A bit confusing and boring at first. But, it got better in the middle because that's where the pinpoint of the twisted plot. I think that this movie was very simple, but a deep simple movie. I believe that almost everyone that has watched this movie ends it with red eyes, such a tearjerker. It's just that you can feel it as if you were there, and that perhaps because of the casts that played really good job on this movie. I give Tom Sturridge 2 thumbs up for his great act.

Plot:
A Joseon dynasty bounty hunter becomes the body guard of the queen he secretly loves.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1465518/

My Comment:
Warning! This movie is a tearjerker movie. Every scene that might turn to be saddened was very appealing to me. But Me crying does not mean that this movie was perfect. I feel dissatisfied. There were something lacking. This movie started with information that it was happened in the 19th century, so I think that the audience needs to know about what happened next, what happened to the history. What happened to the Jeoseon. This movie was only concentrated in the love affairs and the action things (not attractive enough). Overall, it succeed made me crying.

Beastly (2011)

Plot:
A modern-day take on the "Beauty and the Beast" tale where a New York teen is transformed into a hideous monster in order to find true love.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1152398/

My Comment:
I am very disappointed that this movie turned to be a boring teenage version of Beauty and The Beast. I expected that this movie would serve me with a simple touching romantic movie. It was very short. I don't know why this movie just had a duration less than 90 minutes. The romantic scene was not much, need more. It should have focused on the high school since it was a teenager movie. The chemistry between the main characters were not sparkling, maybe because of the limited scenes. I was dissatisfied.

My Comment:
I have no idea why the average stars for this movie is 4.8 on IMDb. It's not that bad though. It's an ordinary romantic plot with basketball as a sidekick. I admit that the plot was not that great and the chemistry between the couple was not that nice. But, this movie still could make me blush and smile with its romantic scenes. It's a very light movie and it's nice to watch on television with friends.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0272338/

My Comment:
I'd say this movie was interesting. The actors were great, talented, genius! The plot was really funny (weird is also the word). Even though I think there had almost no climax, I could feel that this movie could twist the audience feeling. Weird, confused, happy, hate, and the most important thing, Love Feeling! I really like this Barry character, he simply could do anything if he wanted to. However, this movie can't be enjoyed by everybody, because it's mature and not really funny as a comedy.
