Fracture

It was a slow and lazy weekend. Maybe I needed rest hence spent most of the time at home apart from treating myself to a quite a good movie by Gregory Hoblit. Initially was supposed to catch “Invasion” because of Nicole Kidman but after reading and hearing some reviews, me and my group of friends decided to switch to “Fracture” instead. Nevertheless, we made the right choice and “Fracture” was entertaining and pretty good looking at the fact that they have of one the Hollywood big name in it. Mr. Anthony Hopkins. I’ve to admit that Mr. Anthony has aged a lot (can see a lot wrinkles). Not sure how old is he now but he looks like someone around 70+. But, he is still as good as he was when he acted in the “Silence of the lamb”. I guess that is where he found his fame (especially his trademark "stare", can really psycho you man!). Apart from his good acting, the show does have quite a good storyline. As usual, me and my friends are not easily satisfied for some simple movies but we usually prefer movies that are thoughts provoking and with plenty of twists. I guess we like the “unexpected” part. The best if we could anticipate it, that will keep us glued to the seats and deserved our full attention. Well, each of us have our great taste for movies and that is why they have so many genres out there to satisfy the fans. Anyway, I’ll leave it to you guys to enjoy and decide for your own. Happy Watching!:)

Ratatouille (by Brad Bird) & Secret (by Jay Chou)

As you have noticed, I was away for a period of time. Reason, I was busy watching these two good movies: (trying to think of a better reason but what better reason that to watch these two good movies)

Ratatouille:
It tells a story about a rat named Remy which have a special ability to scent for good food and how he become one of the famous chef in “Paree…” His adventure and despise all the disappointment; he continues to strive to become one of the “Paree” most famous chefs. I quite the part where it says “Anyone can cook” (which is quite true and again this does not only apply in cooking but in everything we do in our daily live). As usual, there will always be a moral of the story / lesson to be learned. The storyline was good and again Pixar strike a 10/10 movie once again!

More to be told here.


Secret:
It is Jay Chou first directing and acting at the same time. Although his acting was quite good but the storyline was even better. It was truly a touching love story. Although, the ending was kind of sad but there were some twist here and there which makes it more than just a typical Chinese romance movie. As the story slowly unfolds, it’ll really catch you by surprised… not going to spoil your appetite further on!

For those who have not catch it yet, try it out! :)
