Big Momma's House (2000)A 9 year-old film which i haven't watch until just recently. I actually watched the sequel (Big Momma's House 2) first before this one, on Astro. & i instantly like the movie, plus Martin Lawrence's performance as a comedian actor is way better than Will Ferrell's (whose acting usually wind up more as annoying than comedic, except for the movie Elf). I LOL-ed so hard on scenes as Malcolm (Martin Lawrence) tried to adjust to the life of an obese grandma, Hattie Mae Pierce aka Big Momma whom he's supposed to go undercover as XD Especially when he was to be the mid-wife to a woman giving birth there & there; it was hilarious LOLZ & the pervert BF (Carl Wright) of Big Momma (Ella Mitchell) just cracks me up with his weird ways to woo the woman of his dreams HAHA & i don't care about what other critics say about this movie; i like this movie, SAKOK?!! Without a doubt, Martin Lawrence is my fave comedian actor, even more than Jim Carrey ^^

Malcolm/Big Momma encounters Sherry & Trent
Oh, s~nap~!! 2 Big Momma's?!!Another Martin Lawrence movie, this time as an overly protective father, James Porter to his 17 year-old daughter, Melanie (Raven Symone), who's soon to head out for college. James, trying to change Mel's mind on going far away from home (she decided to go to Georgetown University, which is all the way in Washington -the family's living in Chicago- along with a twinning program to study in Tokyo), surprises her with a college road trip. Along the way, James & Mel encounter the overly active daddy-daughter duo, Doug (Donny Osmond) & Wendy (Molly Ephraim), who tend to annoy not only James & Mel, but also the audience at times XP Nonetheless, my family & i LOL-ed throughout most of the movie, especially the ending where Doug couldn't take it anymore when his seemingly goodie-two-shoes daughter unexpectedly brought home her fiance, Scooter (Lucas Grabeel) on Thanksgiving, causing him to freak out & attack a shrieking Scooter XD

"Northwestern's No. 1, ya'all!!" LOLZ
Skydiving to a college interview? How cool is that!! XDA typical male/female conflict on POV, this time in terms of love & what each gender wants for love. After the success in 27 Dresses, Katherine Heigl plays Abby in this movie, who also like her character from 27 Dresses, seem to be romantically inept & with almost no luck in her romance life. Things heated up when she encounter playboy Mike (Gerard Butler) with whom she's forced to work with by her boss. It was really cute when Mike coaches her on 'what guys want' i.e. the ideal woman for a guy, when Abby fell hard for her hunky doctor neighbour, Colin (Eric Winter). Of course, Mike didn't let go of the chance of teasing Abby along the way on her being inexperienced in dating. Long story short, it's a comedy chick-flick where two people who hate each other eventually fell in love for one another, but refuse to accept the truth until the end.
Movie rating:
4/5
Watch where you're placing those hands, Mike XP
Slow dancing between former enemies...falling in love *sigh~~A chick-flick on the romance life of 9 people in Baltimore, along with some pretty good advice on dating & love in it. Notable actors can be found; Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, Drew Barrymore, Bradley Cooper, Scarlett Johansson, Justin Long & Jennifer Connelly. It's actually filled with logic; not much of the so-called the-girl-always-end-up-with-the-perfect-guy love fantasy that often appear on chick-flicks, & it's good, 'cause then we won't be blinded by some of the truth about the person we have feelings for. Sure, one day we'll meet the person who'll love us for who we are, but if in the mean time it doesn't happen to us yet, we just have to keep looking. & we don't really need to be so desperate in that; just see what happens. If it happens to you, yay happy day then. & we can't keep our hopes too high when it comes to love. Sometimes, we just gotta accept the fact that the other person just ain't that into you. Oh yeah, before i forget, girls, if a guy treats you like he doesn't give a shit, it's NOT because he LIKES you, but because he really DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT.

"Why don't you take control & call him? Instead of waiting all day for him to make the 1st move"
Finally accepting each other's POV & flaws =]A sequel to the hip-hop dancing movie Step Up, this time it focuses on Andie (Brianna Evigan) who reluctantly goes to the Maryland School of Arts -courtesy of her cousin, Tyler (Channing Tantum) convincing her guardian the school is what's best for her to build character & keep her out of trouble- & forms a dance crew to compete in the dancing competition The Streets after getting kicked out by her former crew, the 410. I didn't feel much of heat from the on-screen romance between Andie & Chase (Robert Hoffman), compared to the love between Tyler & Nora (Jenna Dewan) from the 1st movie, which was much more burning up. But the dance moves in this movie is much more wicked & cool, especially during the dance-off at The Streets, under the falling rain ;-]

Salsa time, amigos~!
Breakdance in the rain; wicked cool~!!This Disney family movie is not as funny as its predecessors (like The Game Plan, The Shaggy Dog, Pirates of the Carribean, Enchanted, Princess Diaries, Freaky Friday, The Parent Trap), but it's still ok. But frankly, it could've done a lot better. But instead of paying attention to the whole alien-invading-the-planet plot (which btw, is what the story's all about), i paid more attention to the subplot on the relationship between side characters Bethany (Ashley Tisdale) & her jerk-of-a-boyfriend Ricky (Robert Hoffman), & scenes where Nana (Doris Roberts) & Ricky got all remote-controlled by some alien 'thingamajit', especially the part where they fought kung-fu style (Nana even used the famous Shoryu-ken move -ya' know, the move that punches upwards while spinning from Street Fighter?- during the fight LOLZ).

What'cha all looking at? Aliens?
He's kinda cute for an alien, ain't that right ^^This movie is one where i cried the most since i've watched The Notebook last semester. Everytime it shows flashbacks or scenes where the lead character Holly (Hilary Swank) would talk or think about her deceased husband Gerry (Gerard Butler), & when she reads the last note of each letter he gave her (the part which read "P.S I love you"), tears would just well up at my eyes & i'd go waterworks. The story is beautiful. & the way that Gerry thought up of a plan (which he planned sometime after he was diagnosed with cancer) to help Holly move on with her life after his death, it was really touching. & i love it when Holly first met Gerry while on a college field trip to Ireland, where she got lost while taking a stroll at the Irish countryside & just happened to bump into Gerry who also was taking a walk there. Then they instantly clicked, sparks flew, & they even kissed each other passionately at the end of the day =]

4/5
Another letter from Gerry~!!
"Move on with your life, Holly. P.S. I love you."A movie based on a novel on how a girl who has leukemia since as a kid, & how that affects her family. Well, the movie's ok with me, but not to the point that i was too touched by the plot & stuffs that it brought me to tears. In fact, if concerning a tear-jerker movie regarding the character suffering from some sickness or the sort, i would've prefer the japanese based-on-true-events series, 1リットルの涙 (1 Litre of Tears), which tells the story of a girl suffering from some disease called spinocerebellar ataxia,, that slowly leads her to vegetative state. Anyway, My Sister's Keeper still kept me glued to my seat, curious on how the story develops. But the constant flashback scenes tend to confuse me... Even the group of well-known cast (Cameron Diaz, Abigail Breslin, Joan Cusack & Alec Baldwin) can't seem to interest me as much though.

3/5
"I wanna look pretty just for one night~!!"
"Bubbles makes me happy~~"I initially knew about this movie when they keep showing the trailer of the movie on Star Movies, but i didn't bother to watch it. Then, a friend recommend me this movie as one of the scariest horror movie he's ever watched. So, i took this movie from PV. Verdict? Ok ok lo. I didn't exactly freaked out much from the movie; scenes where the yurei Megumi (Okina Megumi) appear didn't have much effect on me, but the part where she appeared all gooey, with a long tongue, & bugs coming out of her systems grossed me out!! YUCK!!
Movie rating:
3/5
Something wrong with your camera, dude?
Oh~, you're in deep shit~!!A supposedly comedy, but not as much too... I did laughed at some scenes where Paul (Kevin James) get all silly on his job & as he tries to save the hostages though. & i was impressed by how the crooks get around the mall really quick, parkour style XD But the characters tend to be too stupid at times, like when Paul didn't capitalize the distraction he just caused on one of the crooks, instead he just stood there doing nothing, & so does the others who have been released from being bound to ropes...
Movie rating:
2.5/5
Stomach-gliding in the mall~~ Whee~!!
Parkour rocks~!!!
Note the closure going on between Adam Lambert & the dancer.. Guess what happens next..
