Talentime (2009)

Been a while since a film made me laugh and cry this much. I thought Yasmin's previous film felt a bit amateurish for a tried filmmaker. But the same can't be said here. Talentine is possibly my favoritest film of the year - if not one of the top few.

Coraline (2009)

Watched the 3D version. Had strong expectations that were not met. Actually fell asleep at the front bits - dramatic tensions not that strong there. Felt this could be watched in 2D.

At the End of Daybreak (2009)

Watched this at the Tokyo International Film Festival. I fell asleep at the start. Maybe I was quite tired. Acting is generally strong throughout. Did not really take to the contents of the film, though have few complaints when it comes to the quality of the film.

Green Lantern: First Flight (2009)

Not bad. Sinestro was rightly casted here.

This Is England (2006)

Not bad.

Watchmen (2009)

Watched the director's cut on the small screen. Kinda boring. Fell asleep.

Darah (2009)

Just watched what I think is probably the bloodiest locally funded movie I've ever seen. Bears the advice - 'Best watched in cinema' because a responsive audience made the experience fun. Loved it when someone shouted 'Check! Check! Check!' after the evil one gets killed for the umpteen time and the hero leaves.

Not my type of film tho - brainless victims, torture, murder, gore, violence and lots and lots of blood. Even in edited form, the M18 rating looks like it was stretched to the fullest for this film.

The Uninvited (2009)

Ah.. the film this was based on made so much more sense now. The story here is interesting. The unfortunate bit may be that this felt like it belonged more on the small screen than it does in a cinema.

Moon (2009)

Interesting story. It did plod along, and I did fall asleep at the front.

9 (2009)

Satisfactory.

Inglourious Basterds (2009)

Hated it. Because I did not like the director. Not that I did not enjoy the show here and there.
