There were many jokes about the male organ but I especially like the uncertain period of romance in all relationship. Too bad in this relationship for the main characters in the movie, the romance did not blossom. They almost got together but broke off for a silly reason. No happy ending to all movies. I am still disturbed by this. However, it is also this element that helped to relate the story to the audience’s real live experience.

Towards the end, the male character suggested that in an alternate universe, he and that female lead might be together. This got me thinking…

This movie is good. I recommend watching?

The rich has all the time in the world and they can live forever. The poor struggle and live from hand to mouth. I think this movie reflected the current situation. There was not meaningful ending but gave some food for thought. Something to ponder about.

Boy I was wrong. This movie is awesome. I got excited over the movie that I felt hot in the air-conditioned cinema.

I went in to the movie with quite high expectations on it. In the end, the story line was weak and the effects were nothing to boast about. B agreed that the movie was not up to her exceptions as well. But I am glad for the great company.

No. The poster was not attractive, but it just caught my eye. I managed to get free tickets for this movie which helped ensure I watch this.

The show was rather fast paced with a man trying to kill himself. He was always unsuccessful. The last time he tried, he was rescued and found out he could see ghosts. He saw 4 of them. All 4 of them keep sticking to him which made him frustrated and he decided to grant them one wish each to help them settle their unsettled worldly matters. There are bits and pieces of funny scenes as the man’s body was taken over by the ghosts. The way he helped the ghosts is presented like short stories. Every relating to him and the ghost, as well as a female nurse whom the main lead liked. I got a little bored towards the 4th ghost’s quest as all the requests seemed lame.

There was a sudden twist in the story line after the main lead shouted for all the ghosts to get out of his life. At this point, everything become reasonable and clear. It was a touching moment. From this point onwards to the end, the whole cinema was filled with sobs. I can hear half  the cinema crying. The show is this touching. I shall not reveal the spoiler here. Go find out yourself.

I recommend it strongly

Truthfully, I went into the cinema without a gist of what the story will be like. Before the movie started, I was trying to recall about the first 2 parts of the series but nothing was recalled.

The show was interesting with Johnny Depp as the pirate captain. He is witty and funny and the reason for me to catch the show.  A side note: The Spanish lady in the show is hot. :)

The movie is about the how the X-men was formed. There was not as much fighting as I would like to have and worst of all, no wolverine, my favorite character. Furthermore, it seemed that this movie wanted to explain how Xavier lost his use of his legs albeit in a hurry and also not to how I remember. Still, this movie provided me 2 hours of entertainment.

I can see the water effects, the trees very life-like. I think this is amazing. I like the presentation of the show from beginning to end. :)

The show is self explanatory and I think one can catch this show without needing to watch the first one. In this show, the main thing is about inner peace. which I think Po did get it well at the end. His parentage is well explained here and it left a hint for a 3rd sequel – which is good. I look forward to watching the next show.

There is nothing wrong with it, just that I do not enjoy movies where everyone dies.

The plot is about a team of explorers divers mapping out this huge unexplored hole trying to find how it links to the ocean. Very meaningless job. Due to bad weather, the hole started to flood. The team could not get out in time and got stuck underground. They must find their way out before their supplies ran out and they get drown…

Cyrano Agency: The Dating Guru is just so this typical of this genre. This was a blockbuster in Korea.

The story is about an agent of 4 people who help stage romantic situations to make people fall in love. It so happen that one client sought the help of this agency to woo a girl. The girl is the ex-girlfriend of the boss of this agency.

There were many jokes that a comedy should have, but somehow I feel a tinge of sadness towards the end when the agency of the boss struggled with his own feelings.

I would recommend this movie who anyone who needs to relax.

Not the best movie around, but still acceptable.
