My Favorite Movies

Unforgetable. This is one of those movies that I have to watch at least once a year even though its not my #1 favourite movie. Its got the perfect terrorist attack with the perfect ct that can take them all out.

OMFG, this ties Raiders in almost very aspect except for the cast. How can you beat Sean Connery and Harrison Ford being in the same film. They are so freaking great together. I personally think their chemistry rivals that of Harrison and Karen Allen. Then you have another biblical treasure, probably the most desired treasure of all time. What you end up having is a super stacked movie that cant lose in any way. The only thing that is worst than Raiders is the comedy/action, Raiders have rolflmao sequences while this one just has lmao but it has a truck lot of them to make up for lost marks.

Contains the best Gladiator fighting sequences in cinema history. Along with a decent storyline, this movie deserves to be in my top 10 list.

I don't think I've ever seen a corny movie/show that would make me think this is corny. Mandy Moore's verison of Only Hope is just as good as the original if not better. Actually, all of the music in the movie are meaningful and timed perfectly. Its no wonder Mandy's manager demanded the movie's music to be from Switchfoot. But that is not the reason this movie is so high up my list. This is the perfect story of the perfect love complete with the whole "till death do us apart" thing. I guess the only problem is the ending starting with Shane in his Jeep. It becomes far too predictable. However, the song Cry times itself so that we can ignore that error. Cuz no matter what, im giving this a full mark. This is hands down my favourite romance movie.

It beautifully depicts our world as hell. Seriously, u have an ex-mole for the triad (Andy), a dirty cop that could be another mole (Leon), and a gang leader that could be an undercover cop. The entire movie is so freaking suspenseful and intense cuz you have no freaking clue whose a cop and whose not meanwhile their lives continuously chris-cross. This is the best in the trilogy by a long shot because the title suits this movie the best. Our world is indeed a "mou gaan dou" (continuous hell)!

This is one of my most highly recommended movies of all time. Although it was a test for technology that were to be used in Star Wars, I consider this movie better than most of the Star Wars episodes.

I highly anticipated this movie and it didnt disappoint at all. Although, I saw Disturbia first, it was not exactly a remake so Disturbia did not give much story away. So, I found myself enjoying many moments of the film. One of my favourite things in Rear Window were the witty and snappy comments and jokes made by the Stewart, Kelly, Ritter. Every word and tone were well thought up and executed. Ritter really sold herself as a lovable old lady. Then, there was the sensational chemistry between Stewart and Kelly. They played the perfect couple!! Both characters were so different in personalities and yet their love made each character change for the other. Lastly, I loved the idea that it was adults spying on the neighbours. When Disturbia chose teens to spy, they took away the bizarreness of spying on the neighbours cuz teens are always bored so they will naturally find ways to entertain themselves. However, in this case, the adults knew what rights they were violating but they still continued. This is a major masterpiece, the average mark of 4.5 is extremely accurate if not a little low.

I've heard some really bad reviews for this movie but after watching it, I realize I have a really different taste from professional critics. I love this movie. Its got the perfect mixture of gore and action that was started by zombie movies like resident evil. Not only are they gory but the action sequences are also frequent. So, I believe this movie goes above and beyond the criteria of being a great action movie. However, it does not satisfy the great movie criteria and I think this is where critics destroy the greatest of the action sequences. There is no evident message, Julie Benz does an extremely bad job, the Christians were not brutally harmed, and there was no time for character development. Still, if you ignore the errors as errors and think of those parts are they, the result is you have a very reasonable movie. War only spawns more war and God does not do shit for these ppl. As a result, although this movie is not a good movie in the sense of Oscar worthy, it is a highly entertaining action movie especially for ppl that like gore/action and hell is already on earth.

This is my favourite out of all Gold of Gamblers movies. Not only do the jokes, action, and gambling look interesting but the cast is insane. How can you go wrong with Andy Lau & Stephen Chow? Having them in a movie is like holding a pair of aces. If you play the rest of your cards right you get can get a really good hand and that is what this movie is.

At some points, the movie feels like a drag but overall, I think it is the best romanctic movie/story ever. To top it all off, the director found a really lovable female lead that just fits the movie perfectly. But above all else, THIS is how I want my girlfriend to be, a VERY sassy girlfriend.

Finally, a Chow movie that deserves full marks. It has all the necessary elements for a very good romantic story. Not to mention, it has great action and great jokes. And most importantly, it has the MONKEY KING!!! He is my all-time fav hero, even beats Superman! This has to be my fav Chow movie!!

Change of heart. Reboot = New 'Bond' image = I like!

All time fav from 2000 to 2006. The movie contains all the elements essential to a excellent movie: A corrupt king, a band of loyal knights, and the perfect plan to overthrow the king. Surprisely, all of this elements were very well executed. Sadly, Leo wasnt a good actor back then. He was the only thing that prevented the movie from getting full marks.

My favourite Star Wars movie! How could it not be, Vader fights son and Death Star gets destroyed again. As if seeing it get blown up the first time isnt good enough.

Its a messed up movie in more ways than one but I love it. You have so many things happening at the same location but at different parts and yet you know exactly what is happening to who and where.

This movie is freaking awesome! Not only do they finally improve their biggest problem but they add a femme fatale, Rene Russo. Im not sure if adding more good guys are going to continue helping these movies get good marks but one thing for sure, its working for this sequel. Fortunately, the movie returns to its roots and once agan delievers hilarious and amazing action sequences. Turns out, this is my favourite in the series cuz this movie deserves 5.5/5 while 4th only deserves 5/5.

One of Hollywood's hidden gems. Although it has a few technical flaws, if you do not know the actual procedures, the flaws wont be noticable.

Rambo just laid out the flaws in US government. This movie goes above and beyond the original and actually demonstrates these flaws. The movie is an excellent put down movie on US government. They think soldiers are expendable? Then they are wrong. Rambo says it best in the end of the movie, the soldiers "[want] for our country to love us as much as we love it." If rescuing POWs can start a war then do rescue as descretly as possible. Dont just leave them there! Also, the action tops that of the original as well. There is way more action and explosion. The amount of action in this movie makes all those Arnold Schwarenager movies look dull and him like a wimp. One last thing, I love the credit music. Soft music is the perfect remedy to a hardcore action movie like Rambo. There is no doubt, this is an EXTREMELY awesome tribute movie to all the soldiers in the world.

Greatest movie of the decade! Only problem is that epologue is so freaking long and boring. I guess its essential boring stuff but its nonetheless boring and so it gets half mark off but I give the movie a full bonus mark. The fights are no doubt the best in the trilogy include the Shelob fight. But my favourite has to be when Legolas kills the Haradrim elephant and Gimli says, "That still only counts as one." It makes me laugh everytime I watch it.

Very good movie but there is some missing.

Another classic!! Sure you dont have as much of the rebelous McClane in the first three but if you remember that he laid low since the third then his new attitude towards his comrades and his enemies are understandable. Overall, this is the perfect modern McClane. Everything from the action, directing, to the technology are all up-to-date. I just cant stress enough that it is the perfect modern McClane but not the perfect McClane movie. 2nd movie still pwns all!! One last thing, WHY THE F**K IS IT NOT CHRISTMAS!?!?!

The movie is just perfect as in it barely got full marks. Everything in the movie is flawless including making Christina Ricci look attractive. Cuz I still dont find her attractive in any other movie. Somehow, the movie does not excite me as well as other movies that I gave 5 stars to and that is why I said it barely gets full marks. After watching this movie, I know that Tim Burton is bound to be a legend. I mean look at the all-star cast! Quite of them dont even have attractive roles. Tim, if the world does not bow down to ur feet now, it will soon!

Masterpiece! Highly recommended! Its not ranked top 5 on IMDB for no reason.

This movie is very underrated. Everything is freaking insane. It is extremely surprising that I did not watch this movie earlier than I did.

Great movie is so many ways but of course the action and the story takes most of the credit. Also, Natalie Portman delivers such a great performance that no wonder she is still around.

Currently, the best gun fighting movie I have ever seen. Excellent action sequences and perfect directing (you can everything thats happening in the fights).

Ahh, this is my first mole movie. Turns out this movie has quite an impact on both me and the move industry. The introduce of the gray area in life is quite a scary idea if you were only 8 years old.

OMFG, i love this movie. Its not just a milestone for Ching Wan Lau and Johnnie To but its also a milestone for me. I think I have reached a new level in understanding and appreciating films. While I learn to appreciate movies as a whole and not just the visual, Ching Wan learns to harness is gift of being able to cross over to any genre. This time he enters an unfamiliar genre of horror/psycho while remaining to be the lovable and hatable sob that he portrays best at. He does it so well that I laugh my ass off just 5 minutes into the movie!! Then I love and hate him for the rest of the movie. As for the other sob, Johnnie To, he too tries to make all kinds of movies and also enters this unfamilar territory of psycho. The most amazing thing is that he manages to find familar terrorities in the film. There are moments where the movie feels like PTU, Breaking News, etc. Then at the end of the film he finds the perfect spot to place his close range gun fight. I couldnt resist laughing there either. The only reason I take half a mark off is that the story is a bit too complex. Nonetheless, the 2 sobs make an insane (double meaning) movie.

I think that any decent movie depicting the world as a Hell already is an excellent movie. Guess what, this is!! It has a very unique story with great suspense and messages in the city of the most foul ppl on earth. That just might be why I like NYC so much. Hell isnt a death away, its just a flight away! This might also be the reason I sympathize Kiefer's character. Although his acts are sinister, his motive has always been good. The only bad thing about this movie (that I ignore) is how predictable it is. I even know the ending of the movie when Colin starts talking to Kiefer.

My favourite racing movie. There are lots of intense races and little story. Thats the way you treat racing fans!

Although it doesnt have the big fights, the visuals and the story are really captivating. I consider this the best in the trilogy for constatntly keeping the audience interested. I especially like the Uruk-hai fight at the end. Peter Jackson is so smart in moving that fight for the Two Towers to the Fellowship cuz the original ending in the book isnt suspenseful or intense at all, while this ending kept me thinking for a whole year.

No wonder Star Wars has such a big fan base. The first one is already so freaking good. Its a big bag of surprise with some excitment, sadness, and intensity. The first time I watch this, I was so sad that Obi-Wan died without a fight both because of the death and the no fight thing when he was implying that he couldnt wait to fight him.

Overall, this movie is great but the other two just over shadows this one. Still, the Isenguard fight is very memorable especially when the Ents finally caused that flood.

What can I say? Vampires are my favourite monsters. Kirsten Dunst RULEZZ!

Eventful movie about pointlessness. I really like this movie. Its so realistic both in the characters' actions and that nothing changes at the end of the detention.

Disgusting look at a workday in a restaurant. There isnt really a story but the entertainment value is incredibly high. Also, I consider this as Anna's best work. If you love Scary Movies, watch THIS!!

Very unique and captivating story but something just seems to be missing and it prevents me from giving the movie full marks.

What more can I say? The original is better. The chinese title doesnt suit the movie too well. You only have a mole for the triad and an undercover cop. I guess the movie is too clean to have the hell feel. Now the third movie, that is messed.

Too long but very interesting.

This movie is basically a fan tribute movie. It focused more on stuff that fans are bound to have loved and still do but the cuz of this, quality of the movie is not as good as the previous three. Firstly, the movie lacks creativity compared to the previous three. Alot of sequences have already been filmed in other Hollywood hits. In fact, it copied quite a bit of the Mummy 1 & 2. Karen Allen was not as sassy as she used to be and [spoilers] how Meridith and Indy's relationship was rekindled was very poorly planned.[/spoilers] Nonetheless, the script continues to have many witty jokes and the action is very entertaining altho it was copied. Lucas and George really did a great job of reusing others' material and make it more fun and exciting. It is sucks that Sean Connery wont come out of retirement for this. I have always considered Sean and Harrison to be the perfect on screen duo because of there uber witty and funny dialoges and I didnt get to see that booo.

Ridiculous!! This is the most hilarious parody movie I have ever seen!! Altho I didnt laugh throughout the entire film, the jokes and parodies are so well planned and executed. And omg, the movie managed to get Richard Crenna to do this Rambo parody! Sadly the movie has some parts that are overkill but overall, this is a freaking awesome film.

I never knew that I wasnt alone in desiring to travel thru time until I watched this movie. This movie displayed a very plausible way and rules for time travelling, also, the ups and downs of time travelling. Along with a great cast and great script, this movie strengthened my desire of time travelling. I guess you could say I am bias in reviewing this film. Then again, Im only reviewing this over a decade after the first time I saw this and I am basing my rating on that long lived feeling that this movie was awesome. Coming to think about it, this might have even been my favourite movie during my childhood.

WOW, this is the perfect end to the series. Doc and Clara's relationship really showed age has no borderies. lol. That wasnt exactly why I felt so strongly about this movie, the movie was great because it was practically flawless. It was suspenseful, hilarious, tied up all loose ends, and had the perfect ending for all that Marty had been thru. More of all, it had many entertaining references to previous its movies moreso than any other 3rd installments I have ever seen. The best example is my favourite scene where the audience finds out Marty was wearing a chimney cover. It was a direct reference from the clip of Clint Eastwood in the second installment. I love this movie is much that Im really glad I bought this when it came out on dvd. I've rewatched this movie so many times its quite scary ... to others.

OMG, I have finally found the perfect Stephen Chow film where Stephen acts the same way he usually does. However, his best is still Journey to the West. The story is very brilliant and highly appealling. Altho it is from a folk lore meaning the writers didnt write the story, their attention to detail is magificent. The script stays true to Stephen's kind of comedy which is fun, sometimes disturbing, mixed with inside canto jokes. Stephen had so much firepower backing him up, he just couldnt suck and he DIDNT!! Another honoury mention is Gong Li. I have never found her attractive until I saw this movie. This is her Shallow Hal (i found Paltrow attractive only in that film). Gong Li's like the ideal girl and her acting matches it to a tee. Lastly, Alex is also amazing. He is also fortunate enough to play his usual kind of character ... a dooche. However, this time, he holds back from being a complete dooche and it pays off. His character just fits the film perfectly. On a funny note, I finally know why ppl think the name Pa Hu is a bad name. In actuality, the name means great tiger but it sounds like 8 pains/sorrows. How many wives did he have in the beginning? LOL.

After rewatching the film, I realized my two previous claims were extraordinarily absurd. Heath Ledger deserves an Oscar for his performance and Danny DeVito?s performance as the Penguin is no match for Ledger. As well, the last 30 minutes were not a drag at all and Dent?s rampage was not a sudden 180 turnaround.

No one caused my change in heart, even my fav critic and my close friend who is also a film fanatic, couldn?t change my mind. I initially didnt find Ledger?s acting special because that is EXACTLY what I expect Joker to be, a crazy, brilliant, and childish criminal who just enjoys making havoc. Now, I realize it really takes a lot of effort from Ledger, the director, and writer to make Joker so horrifying and yet entertaining. Everything Ledger says and does are part of the grand image of Joker. He is an anonymous criminal mastermind with nothing to lose and a psychotic past. It is what makes him so scary and it is how the fat boy with the bomb and the misdirection to Rachel and Dent came to be. Those also contribute to the entertainment of the film so that the typical movie-goers view would enjoy the perceivable action, while the more intellectual movie-goers would identify that they were tools to show Joker?s insanity between shots of him throwing around archaic gestures. Some could argue that Nicolson?s Joker is a joke. In actuality, he is a criminal of a different nature who lacked the production crew?s attention. And the same goes for DeVito but lacks even more attention because he was only scary because of the havoc he creates but not of his speeches and gestures.

My initial reasoning for Dent?s rampage was I thought Rachel?s death was the sole cuz of his change with a little encouragement from Joker. Now, I realize that Dent has been hot-headed from the start. He is an emotionally driven man is killed the 5 ppl in the last 30 minutes not because they were criminals and corrupt police, but they were the ones responsible for Rachel?s death. He was acting the same way he has been acting, only a little more aggressively. As well, Dent?s fall to death is a metaphor for what Joker wants with him, to have someone so pure of heart turn into a despicable piece of shit.

New things I found in my rewatch are that the script is filled with devastating moments and has some propaganda. In the scene where Batman infiltrates the tower where Joker is watching the ferries, Batman actually hurts cops. Like the beginning of the film, he is acting above the law, which is unacceptable in reality. Also, if the hostages and the captives? appearance are swapped and the police end up ?saving? the captives, then the public would lose all trust in them.

Batman?s massive sonar system is a propaganda tool for the viewers to accept the use of such system which highly violates privacy. Sure, Freeman calls is immoral, he is the only one operating it, and the system is destroyed after use. However, in reality, who and how do we appoint to monitor us? How can we trust this man to not disclose our private information? Although the film presents but sides of the argument for having such a system, the use of the system is a sign of propaganda because it is a sign of encouragement for the system. I personally agree that we should have this system because if you do anything with someone else, its bound to get found out. If its something that can hurt other, it MUST be disclosed. All im saying is that this film is going to create more fans of the monitory system because of the film.

Lastly, I would like to add how beautiful the ending is. Dent is ?A hero, not a hero we desired but a hero we needed.? And Batman is ?the hero Gotham desires but not the one who needs right now. So, we will hunt him because he can take it.? It is an act beyond noble for Batman to make the city turn out him in order to keep the peace.

This film also marks the first time I have ever rewatched a film in theatres, although, it was a theatrical rerelease.

It is a brilliant mixture of action and comedy with a touch of randomness. At one point during the film, i thought that it was the best action/comedy ever made. The random factor blends the two so perfectly together that makes the perfect suspension of disbelief. The only problem is the film as the construction of the film as a whole. Each individual sequence is hilarious and exciting but together, they lack reality and maturity.

Hitchcock never ceases to amaze. The story is beautifully written in that it reveals alot of information which projects an inevitable future. But surprise after surprise happens and the audience is left in total shock and awe.

An extraordinary piece of work. The technological advancement of special effects made this film far more interesting than the first one. The great example is the liquid metal man. He can do so much that its crazy, brilliant, and scary. The plot is also amazing, the villain becomes the hero and fights a villain that is almost impossible to defeat or recognize. Another interesting thing to point out is Linda Hamilton her dramastic change from the original was incredible. Her ability to change shows just how good of an actress she is. Even so, the action and the special effects are the biggest highlights of the film and they are done extremely well. In fact, this is a most watch for any action film fan otherwise, dont call urself an action fan.

All time fav as of 2006. It depicts an extremely immoral and dangerous business in a non-bias way. And although the movie is about guns, it manages to have very little fight sequences and only 2 explosions but still remain extremely interesting and appealing. It is so appealing, that I kinda want to be an arms dealer.

At first, I was very disappointed at this movie. Spider-man lost his powers! That freaking sucks. After a month of thinking about it, I realized 2 things. This movie kept me thinking about it. Thats a characteristic of a good movie. Also, Spider-man's power loss was essential in providing character development and also to make the audience feel bad. THEY SUCCEEDED! This movie went above and beyond my expectations. It deserves to be here.
