There are a couple of movies I watched recently:

1: GI Joe

A lot of people would expect a lot from a film like this considering the fact that there are already a whole lot of super heroes/romance/action film produced before this. I do personally enjoy this film not based on how fabulous was the plot or the effect but the high entertainment value (Good looking actors (*plus point: Channing Tatum), Mixture of comedy, romance and action). I thought this film would capture the attention of mainly young kids. Big budget? high returns? Possible mainly through young consumers who makes up the biggest number in the market. This film however lacks in many aspects. 6/10 for the film.

2: Public enemies
Me and Alex were discussing on if we could classify this under the film noir category (Mafia style). It's arguable as we couldn't find any other links and signs showcasing a noir film (Femme Fatale--> women=weak, Color splash or black and white). The films lacks narrative and character. I do however love the shooting locations and the scene which resembles of the one in fight club. 7/10

3: Drag me to hell
Sam Raimi proves the be one of the good horror film directors. This film is highly entertaining----> A twist of comedy and horror. Absolutely enjoyed the film. This could possibly be a new direction in the horror genre. Good direction, plot, humour,effects. Everything was nicely pieced up. Worth watching indeed! 8/10

4: Harry Potter: Half Blood Prince
Not the best but I thought it was pretty good. Good effects, acting, cinematography. It kept me entertained. Waiting for the next installment! 7/10

5: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
I thought the movie was good but not great. The first installment was much better. Highlights: Megan Fox--> What more can I say besides having the dudes going crazy for her. Smart choice of actors, pretty good special effects and I would give a plus point for one of my favorite director (Micheal Bay). Overall 6.5/10

6: Bruno
Love it or hate it depending on the humour you enjoy. I thought the very fact that the comedy itself is bold and risky makes it a pretty good film. Unfortunately, I didin't enjoy it as much as the guys did. 6/10

7: The Hangover
I thought this film was a great one. It kept me entertained. Great narratives, acting and most importantly it's one of the best comedy film this year. 7.5/10
