Movie Review : The Proposal


"Highly entertaining movie, a total fun!"


Synopsis :

For three years, Andrew Paxton has slaved as the assistant to Margaret Tate, hard-driving editor at a New York publisher. When Margaret, a Canadian, faces deportation for an expired visa, she hatches a scheme to marry Andrew - he agrees if she'll promise a promotion. A skeptical INS agent vows to test the couple about each other the next Monday. Andrew had plans to fly home that weekend for his grandma's 90th, so Margaret goes with him - to Sitka, Alaska - where mom, dad, and grams await. Family dynamics take over: tensions between dad and Andrew, an ex-girlfriend, Andrew's dislike of Margaret, and her past color the next few days, with the INS ready to charge Andrew with fraud.

I really really love this movie!! A lot!!! It was so funny!! I totally fall in love with this movie. This movie has a lot of funny scenes which I think that were really funny, until I could laugh a lot. I have to say that a film like this usually not good in movie critics review and stuff, but I think this movie is very entertaining. Sandra Bullock and Ryan Renolds is a very perfect couple and they seem good for each other. Sandra Bullock's acting is amazing I think. She is so good to play that kind of bossy woman. Ryan Renolds was good too, but not so special I think. I think this movie is well-prepared so there's no boring scenes in this entire movie. Sometimes people just say, this movie is just another chessy movie, but I think it's not that chessy. It's good. And for every guy, maybe you want to watch this. There is a scene when Sandra Bullock was naked. This movie is refreshing, a total fun, highly recommended for you.

Movie Review : Tooth Fairy


"Enjoyable, but not memorable"

Synopsis :

Derek Thompson is 'The Tooth Fairy,' a hard-charging minor league hockey player whose nickname comes from his habit of separating opposing players from their bicuspids. When Derek discourages a youngster's hopes, he's sentenced to one week's hard labor as a real tooth fairy, complete with the requisite tutu, wings and magic wand. At first, Derek "can't handle the tooth" – bumbling and stumbling as he tries to furtively wing his way through strangers' homes…doing what tooth fairies do. But as Derek slowly adapts to his new position, he begins to rediscover his own forgotten dreams.

I have to admit that I adore Dawyne Johnson. I love when he plays in a children movies such as Game Plan, Race to Witch Mountain, and now Tooth Fairy. I enjoyed this movie. Some scenes are funny. Although the story was kinda insane, I think that was okay because it's just a children movies, made to entertain children. I''m sure children gonna love it. But I'm not sure adults will love it too. Maybe they will think that this story is total fake bla bla bla. But who cares? It's just a movie. I'm sure if you just sit and relax watching this movie, you will be entertained. Don't think about the plot, or the fake stuff, just enjoy it. Dawyne Johnson was okay. Not so good but not so bad. The other cast were also okay, especially the little girl played by Destiny Whitlock. She is so cute. Love her! I think this movie was enjoyable, but not memorable.

Movie Review : Ghost of Girlfriends Past


"Enjoyable, but not so special movie"

Synopsis :
Connor Mead, a successful fashion photographer and a Lothario keen on casual sex, goes to his younger brother's wedding to convince him not to marry. He arrives at his dead uncle's estate during the rehearsal the night before the wedding; he starts in, taking his brother aside, trashing marriage. Later in the men's room, his uncle, who taught Connor all he knows about women, appears to him, confesses to have been wrong, and tells Connor that three ghosts will visit him that night: the ghosts of girlfriends past, present, and future. Connor has already set the breakup in motion. Can he learn anything from his life and fix what he's broken?

I had no idea before about this movie. In fact, I thought it is a horror movie, considering the title has "Ghost" in it. I haven't seen the poster too. And, I was very wrong. It is a drama-comedy movie. This movie was enjoyable, but it's not a film that everyone will remember forever. It's just like another romance comedy movie. Not so special, but quite good. The story wasn't original. If you watch this movie, it will remind you to "A Christmas Carol." This movie has the same idea as Christmas Carol. A guy who loves to play women and doesn't have feeling, will be visited by 3 ghosts to remind him that his life would be bad if he continues act like that. So, just look like Christmas Carol, right? That's why I don't think this movie was special. But it was okay to watch. I still enjoy the plot, some jokes although they weren't funny enough to make me laugh, and the romantic scenes.Jennifer Garner and Matthew McConaughey played good and they match each other. If you have a lot of free time, you may watch this. Maybe this movie can refresh your mind. That's why romance-comedy genre are created for movies right?

Movie Review : (500) Days of Summer


Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love. Girl doesn't.

Synopsis :
After it looks as if she's left his life for good this time, Tom Hansen reflects back on the just over one year that he knew Summer Finn. Despite being physically average in almost every respect, Summer had always attracted the attention of men, Tom included. For Tom, it was love at first sight when she walked into the greeting card company where he worked, she the new administrative assistant. Soon, Tom knew that Summer was the woman with whom he wanted to spend the rest of his life. Although Summer did not believe in relationships or boyfriends - in her assertion, real life will always ultimately get in the way - Tom and Summer became more than just friends. Through the trials and tribulations of Tom and Summer's so-called relationship, Tom could always count on the advice of his two best friends, McKenzie and Paul. However, it is Tom's adolescent sister, Rachel, who is his voice of reason. After all is said and done, Tom is the one who ultimately has to make the choice to listen or not.

(500) Days of Summer. I think this is the best romance-drama movie in 2009. I love it a lot!!! Although the tagline is "This is not a love story", but I feel a lot of love here. I adore the director, Marc Webb, who can make a simple story in a different way. It makes this movie so special. Unlike the other love story. Zoey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-levitt was a perfect couple. I don't think this film will be success if Zoey and Gordon-levitt aren't in this movie. Some scenes will make you laugh, some scenes will make you sad, some scenes will make you feel happy. (500) Days of Summer is a breakthrough drama movie. I never watched a drama movie like this before. I like the different style that the director used to create this movie. It feels so unique. Watch it! Highly recommended!

Movie Review : Bandslam


"Do we ready to rock?"

Synopsis :
When gifted singer-songwriter Charlotte Banks (Michalka) asks new kid in town Will Burton (Connell) to manage her fledgling rock band, she appears to have just one goal in mind: go head-to-head against her egotistical musician ex-boyfriend, Ben (Porter), at the biggest event of the year, a battle of the bands.

Against all odds, their band develops a sound all its own with a real shot at success in the contest. Meanwhile, romance brews between Will and Sa5m (Hudgens), who plays a mean guitar and has a voice to die for. When disaster strikes, its time for the band to make a choice: Do they admit defeat, or face the music and stand up for what they believe in?


I have to agree that I love this kind of movies. I like musical-drama films. It also happens when I watched Bandslam. It's a good film for teens. I enjoyed this movie. Of course, the reason I watched this movie was because of Vanessa Hudgens was in this movie. I can say that I'm a fan of her. Actually Bandslam is just like another movies such as Step Up, Make it Happens, and the others. But, this film is better. Story about an unpopular boy managed a band seems cliche. But, why do you want to watch movie? To have fun, of course. So, just enjoy this movie. This movie has some funny scenes which made me laugh. You'll know what it is when you watch Bandslam. It's not the best musical film but it's worth-watching. Also, Vanessa's voice is so damn good! Gaelan Connell who played Will Burton was good too. I'm kinda disappointed with this movie because Vanessa only sang one song. I thought Vanessa will sing many songs, but actually that didn't happen. Overall, I suggest you to watch this movie. It's very enjoyable.
