Very typical of modern America in spirit - as most of the characters are very caught up in themselves. This film also seems inexpensive, proving that you don't need big budgets to make a good film, just a good script and some decent actors. The use of 90s pop references is one of the delights, and while this did not deliver the big "ha-ha"s I thought it was gonna deliver, it still managed to put a smile on my face for the most part.

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
Not too bad. Chris Evans actually carries the role rather well, and is starting to impress me with his acting talents. Tommy Lee Jones has some great lines. And comic fans are gonna have fun making comparisons with the source material and spotting the easter eggs which only fans in the know will recognize.

Karate-Robo Zaborgar - 電人ザボーガー (2011)
Not too bad. Ridiculously funny at times. [Watched at 15th Pucheon International Fantastic Film Festival]
Yakuza Weapon - 極道兵器 (2011)
Niched mindless entertainment. Not my cup of tea though, but not something I dread sitting through either. Does have its moments of ludicrous dark humour.[Watched at 15th Pucheon International Fantastic Film Festival]
Resurrected - Seru (2011)
Malaysia's answer to The Blair Witch Project. It has its fun moments, and it does have some fun jabs at filming in this part of the world, but it's pretty much a one-trick pony - it doesn't set out to do more than what its genre is meant to do, and would probably be more fun to watch together in a group on one of those mindless entertainment days.

The Cat - 고양이: 죽음을 보는 두 개의 눈 (2011)
Standard horror fest. Nicely shot. Cute girl in distress with a kind heart. Not a bad way to spend 2 hours if some generic entertainment is what you're looking for.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon [3D] (2011)
Boring. Fell asleep (during action sequences!). Don't bother watching this in 3D. An awful waste of time. Yawn....
Beautiful Lies - De vrais mensonges (2010)
Okay comedy. Some fun parts, but whole thing could be tighter.
