Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (in 3D) PG

Very impressive and exciting sci-fi/fantasy/adventure I ever saw since 16 years to know all about future Jedi knight Anakin Skywalker in this prequel. Awesome special effects including an exhilarating desert race (that scene reminded of Ben-Hur in chariot race) and stunning space city vistas. Glad to see George Lucas returned to his own directing on this film.

Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 PG-13

It was quite fantastic story between Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) in the wedding and honeymoon scenes. The birth scene is so intense as well as the fight scenes between Cullen vampires and Jacob's former Alpha wolf pack members.
It was literally like watching a bunch of the characters finally grow up. From Bella's jitters before sleeping with the man she's loved for two years, to her reflecting and remembering the love making the morning after, to the oh so incredibly cool wolf scene (they all congregate at the lumber place and speak to one another telepathically), to Edward literally witnessing the woman he loves waste away behind this pregnancy, to the actual emotionally charged birth scene, and the cinematography of the flashbacks... the movie was shot in a totally different way than the three prior films were.
Stewart perfectly captures Bella's apprehension as she's about to walk down the aisle at her wedding. And the wedding scene is so lush, romantic and heartfelt as Edward and Bella whisper their vows.

The Fugitive PG-13

I really love this action-thriller film adapted on the 1963-1967 TV series starring my No. 1 idol, Harrison Ford, because it gave me excitement by seeing Ford go on the run to trace an one-armed killer who committed the murder of his wife after he was accused. Ford was fit as the part of Dr. Richard Kimble perfectly. With this role, the last thing required is a melodramatic actor that sticks out like a sore thumb. Ford casually settles into the role of the man on the run, bringing intelligence and style to a less ostentatious character. The result is an interesting cat-and-mouse game between Dr. Richard Kimble and the police that never allows your attention to fade away. Excellent directing and acting and the constant action and tension, this movie really delivers everything that you can expect from it. I keep watching that movie on DVD several times when I make my chance.

Spider-Man PG-13

This is one of my all-the-time favourite Marvel Comics superheroes when I was a kid. While the movie started in the production, I was really exciting to look forward watching the amazing scenes of Spider-Man's action more better than late 1970's TV series. I finally watched it at the cinema on the late night in the first session released. This is absolute masterpiece as well as fascinating mix of spectacular action and powerful drama. These scenes are mostly familiar to Marvel superhero comic book series I last read - very impressive. Director Sam Raimi's excellent at showing us the hero's pain, as well as the one he causes to others, and he gets terrific performances from the entire cast, particularly Tobey Maguire (as Peter Parker/Spider-Man) and Willem Dafoe (as the evil-looking Norman Osborn/Green Goblin).
