this entry is based on my own opinion. it is normal if you do not agree with me.

i was bored last night so i just decided to watch a movie alone. it's definitely less hassle compared to gathering a bunch of people to watch together, but it felt kinda weird too, sitting alone that is.

anyway, the movie was good enough to make me forget that i was watching alone. 'gone baby gone', nice thriller. i like it.
in fact, there are so many good movies around nowadays. let me give some comments on some movies that i have watched for the past 3 weeks...

the mist
based on rottentomatoes.com/RT (probably the most accurate movie rating): 70%
i agree.
it's ridiculous and not scary.. but.. it's not the worst horror movie that i've ever watched.. in fact, it's quite entertaining at some parts.. so.. 70% is probably the correct rating.
watch it if you are a big fan of stephen king and if you errr have lots of money to spend.

atonement
RT: 82%
i agree.
the cinematography is fantastic.. the drama is a bit slow and draggy and tiring though.. not as good as i expected.. but.. it is still an oscar quality.
watch it if you are a big fan of keira knightley, don't be shocked to see how skinny she is though. lol. nah.. watch it for the artistic feel.
btw, this movie won the best movie for golden globe.

3:10 to yuma
RT: 88%
i agree.. wait.. maybe should be higher.. 90%
this is a great western movie. one that i enjoyed very very much.
and it's russel crowe + christian bale!
watch it.. watch it..

away from her
RT: 95%
i don't really agree.. perhaps.. 90%
this movie is good for those who love drama.. sad drama.. something that is so slow, so beautiful..
and those who are more sensitive will cry, like the girl who watched with me =p
this movie is only playing on cathay picturehouse.

assasination of jesse james by the coward robert ford
RT: 75%
i agree.
this movie is too long.. if only it is shorter, i will give it a higher rating..
nevertheless, it is still a good movie. i like the conclusion.
those who hate long drama should avoid this movie.

sweeney todd: the demon barber of fleet street
RT: 87%
i agree.
i think i don't need to comment a lot on this. most people that i know have watched this movie.
it's interesting, it's entertaining..
johnny depp can sing. a revelation.
this is a movie for gathering.

gone baby gone
RT: 93%
hmm... i agree.. or maybe.. 90%
a very interesting thriller.. but i believe it is not a movie that many can appreciate..
it's complicated. yes that's the word. complicated. lol.
good movies are always complicated.

27 dresses
RT: 37%
i seriously disagree..
well, the story is predictable and not brilliant compared to many others, but i think the movie is entertaining. i certainly enjoyed watching it. it's just great watching katherine heigl and james marsden together.. yes.. marsden himself can make this movie at least 60%. LOL. ok kidding, with the story and everything.. maybe i will give this movie 80%.
sometimes we just need a nice romantic show that doesn't require frowning..

i am going to watch american gangster and juno soon.
next on the list: no country for old men, there will be blood and perhaps.. spiderwick chronicles
some stories should just remain in a book, so i don't think i will watch the kite runner and ps i love you. do read the books if you haven't though.

i am definitely not watching cj7, kungfu dunk and ah long pte ltd. no offence, but i think there are just too many better movies. too many.
