Couch Potatoes!

Yup. That's right. That is what I have been doing a lot after my finals. So I managed to catch up with a few movies and I think I have to speak my mind about them now.


Twilight
I know I am very late. But I don't think the movie did justice towards the book at all. I got the book recently (actually I got it because I wasn't satisfied with the movie and knew the book would definately offer more) and although I am still not done with it yet, the standards of the movie is nowhere near the book's. The book is just SO MUCH BETTER.


X-Men Origins: Wolverine
This to me is a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. Thankfully my friend downloaded it or else I would be cursing myself for giving away at least 9 bucks to catch this show in the cinemas. I expected so much more due to all the anticipation, etc. Turns out that is just another one of those meaningless superheroes movie. This, I believe, is the worst installment of X-Men. And I read online that they are gonna do another X-Men Origins on the guy who can't stop talking. Geez. Is there anything to tell about him?


Wild Child
What can I say. It is just another one of those movies.


August Rush
Awesome movie with awesome music but the ending was sucky. How could he have known who his parents were by just looking? -Sigh-


The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
This is an awesome movie. Although it is dry and slow at times but it has an awesome storyline to make up for its flaws. And Brad Pitt, is just SO HOT.


Slumdog Millionaire
I totally understand why this movie won so many awards at this year's Oscars. If Benjamin Button is awesome, this movie is totally wicked. And it is also a sad one. Oh yeah. I have to say that I really despise the stupid host of that Who Wants To Be A Millionaire show. He has this stupid face that people just have to hate and his stupid attitude is just pain in the neck. But all in all, it was a brilliant show. It is just really sad thing though that the child actors of this movie are still in real slums themselves, battling to live a life especially Rubina Ali. -Sigh- Poor fellows.


Inkheart
This is another good movie. Very interesting but I think the ending was kinda pathetic. I wished there was a better ending to it. The ending gave me the impression that the movie was meaningless because Brendon Fraser could have just wrote his own story and bring back his wife and set everything straight in the first place. Like his daughter did at the end. He didn't even had to spend years finding the book actually. I make sense, don't I? Lol. Anyway, it was still a good movie.

According to my post in January, "Most Anticipated Movies Of 2009", I think I missed Monster vs Aliens. I will have to download it soon. I also have The International, Race To The Witch Mountain, Marley And Me, Taken and The Ghosts of Girlfriend's Past to download. -Sigh- Hopefully I wouldn't grow old downloading them. Lol.

This month will also see Angels & Demons, Bruno, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, Terminator Salvation and Up hitting the cinemas. I will definately catch Angels & Demons and Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian for sure and would probably leave the other 3 out. But then again, Up is a cartoon by Disney and I never miss their cartoons. Lol.

And next month, Transformers 2 will be on! Yay! And the month after, Harry Potter 6! Double yay! Guess I will probably be dragging my friends out to catch that show if I am already back in Johor by then. But I doubt they need drgging. Lol.

I am saving the book. To prolong it. So that I don't have to buy another too soon. The book only has 24 chapters, 498 pages. So very easy to finish. Terpaksa force myself to slow down. Ok! That is good. You are my partner for Harry Potter then. 'Darling' for sure Transformers partner if we are already back. Lol. But I advise you to read book 6 first cuz I am sure they will cut many, MANY scenes.
