Tropic Thunder (2008)

Tropic Thunder

This was a very popular movie in the US. The so-called funniest movie of 2008. Having seen very little films released in 2008, I don't really have a basis for comparison if this is indeed the funniest movie of 2008. But one thing I'm certain, it was not as funny as I thought it would be. Tom Cruise's role is a cute surprise. That's it. Even Robert Downey Jr. as a white man pretending to be a black man was full of blah. Good to see him in movies, though. I will forever love him in Heart and Souls and Only You.

Oh well. Maybe Im missing something

2 out of 5

Resurrecting the Champ (2007)

Resurrecting the Champ

It was alright...

A Place in the Sun (1951)

A Place in the Sun

Here it goes... Montgomery Clift was so hot. As for the movie, well... it's depressing. More on that later.

Funny Face (1957)

Funny Face

Fred Astaire was too old for Audrey Hepburn, in my opinion. Anyway... I thought Audrey Hepburn looked really cute in the jazz bar scene.

Dial M for Murder (1954)

Dial M for Murder

I liked it! Thanks to my thesismate for lending me this one :D Will definitely buy a copy when the dvd price goes down!

Mamma Mia! (2008)

Mamma Mia!

It was alright... The songs were annoyingly catchy.

National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets (2007)

National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets

It's a really good adventure. I know some of the so-called "facts" in these films are erroneous but you really can't help enjoying fast-paced adventure movies like these. And yes, I'd love a third National Treasure!

Blades of Glory (2007)

Blades of Glory

LOL. I am not a huge fan of Will Ferrell but this movie was funny!

** POST WILL BE EDITED SOON!**

Mister Lonely (2007)

Mister Lonely

Painfully indie. Diego Luna as Michael Jackson is SOOOOOOOO creepy.
