6.7/10 She's All That
I thought this one was different but it's just the same ol teen flick. Nothing amazing about the storyline, a recycled storyline where, a girl geek must be transformed into a prom queen by the coolest guy in school.. it's a bet thing. Rachael was beautiful.. i really think she's cute... hope more of her in future movies. The teen casting were all great, but the storyline was too typical that it actually sucks. Anyway, the dancing scenes at the prom nite, was well synchronised eh? HIndi genre in it??
6.7/10 Entrapment
The movie could have been better, that's what i think when I came out of the cinema. I could have bought a VCD, but looking at KLCC, the world tallest building(untill end of this year only there is) on big screen was something to be a proud of. The plot has its own twist from the very beginning till the end. Catherine was really good as a thief and a seducer not to mentioned and she's someone you could bring in your wet dreams.. haha then Sean Connery with his James Bond style and charismatic. The script was sometimes funny. And don't get ur self confused.. the first stealing scene is Chaterine not Sean Connery. Spoilers huh? Acton wise, it gets boring towards the end. If the scripts are polished, this can be such a classic. One more thing, I always get annoyed if dialoques are repeated. He had mentioned before that if he's not punctual means he's dead? Then, why stressed it again at the ending scene? It will lose its touch. For Malaysian viewers, this one can be meaningful if you live in Malacca.. KLCC kat malacca siuts ha ha.
8.6/10 The Matrix
I heard reviews in the newspaper praising this movie and on he other hand my best bud told me this movie sucks. So, I was not that eager to watch this intelligent-action flick. Finally I watched it and.. wo.. this movie kick-ass! I guess my bud didn't really get what matrix is all about, and matrix can be different to each other opinions, it's how you relate the matrix to our daily live..or yet our knowledge, This movie is actually a very meaningful yet symbolic, each scenes, the virtual life.. the matrix depicted something we can actually relate to us. You have to watch them to really understand it. It's about finding the one and searching for the one.. and to make realise the one is the one. I like this kinda movie... Star Wars has its Jedi knights as the ones.. and in The Matrix, Neo(keanu) has to fight the evil programmers/programme (virus as in computer terms) which is the agents. hmmm.. i think i'll have to leave out the plot, cause it'll be such spoilers. Ofcourse, the visual effects are nothing that unusual, but with action, movements, holo- motion plus the effects.. where can you get that in a movie? So, after all it is something new.. and fresh.. The one thing that I find it a little disapointment(which is not considered a flaw) is the martial art should not be named kung-fu, as it will only make us(the asian) comparing it to the hong kong movies.. which ofcourse make the american look inferior... the martial should be named something else. new terms, maybe.. and the scene where Morphiuse where trapped and hold by the agents, he looked damn miserable as if he loses all his confidence and hope... after all he's so sure that Neo is the one.. and also Morphius is 'the one' to find the truth out of Neo. Then why make him looked that horibble in those scene?I think Morpius should be calm in the scene though after being beaten vigourously. anyway.. that doesn't affect the movie at all.
The characters are all well developed, If there is gonna be a sequel to this one(still unconfirmed), then Trinity character should be develop more.. as we can actually see, she fought real good starting from the beggining.. then her movements when avoiding the bullets or any hits towards her was exactly the same when Neo encountered the agents after he has truly know who he actually is(where he raises his hands and all the bullets stay static. So, maybe Joel silver should develop the connections between them, other than the love connection. This one shall be in my top 105 movies of all time.
The Mummy 7.0/10
