Movie Recommendations / Reviews (Str8, Non-Pxxn) (Compiled)

[Guest sushibomb]

My personal views after watchin the movie is almost same as oralB.

Story sucks.. very draggy in the middle and esp the last part when he was doing the dun know how many mile dash to Prime.

'Sensless and cheesy storylines... the best is the Decepts catch the guy's parents as hostage right? so why did they happily "pushed" the parents towards the guy in the midst of the dash? to confuse him?

The Constructorcons part also quite lame.. ya, and i dun like the 2 twin robots.. abit nosense to me, somemore all of the sudden can break out from the gian constructorcons. The colleage friend was really unnecessary too..

Then robots can grow old one..

I am ok with action films with normal storylines, but this one abit too lousy in terms of story. Just like what i feel about Hellboy 2. No matter how good the CG and stuff is, a normal storyline is minimum to me.

jus sharing my views..

All boys would love the movie except girly ones :whistle:

I'm a fan for visual stunning movie and also horror flicks. I will say transformer is visually impressive. But I did not enjoy the movie. The show has thin storyline and I was almost falling asleep half way through the 2 and half hour show.

Although Terminator was also not a good movie but it is still better than Transformer. For the more entertaining movie would be Drag Me To Hell and Aliens Vs Monster.

Duplicity starring Julia Roberts is simple and ok to watch too.

I fell asleep three times, snored once and got poked in the ribs, hard by my friend.

Couldn't figure out the good and bad robots and had to ask my friend at least 6 times who are good and bad robots. Real snorefest if you ask me. If you see two groups of meerkats fighting on National Geographic or the Animal Planet channel, can you tell who is the good or bad guys? I can't.

Still the damn snorefest had already made US$293 million by Sunday July 5th. Rotten Tomatoes is still rating it at 20% and John Lui, the Straits Times reviewer who gave it half a star out of five still has his job.

Peace.

[imchaser]

Any argument on the movie, i can understand. But fell asleep? that really takes the cheese cake. U guys win! Bravo.

So where is Meg Ryan in Hollywood now ?

The lastest movie I watched with Meg Ryan is "The Women".

Her face now has so many botox ... haizz ... Meg Ryan and Tom Hank used to be a favourite couple of many people.

[watevermightbe]

Well, just finished watching the Harry Potter 6, kinda disappointed and no wonder there are so many critics about this show after 2 days of release. Share your views about the movie.

Personally, I was looking forward to lots of magic fighting scenes towards the end, but there isn't many. I feel that they focused on the romance part too much and as usual, many parts are missing compared to the book.

2 out of 5 stars for me..

[ixmog]

I slept through at the mid portion till end of the show.

is a waste of time.children show

[tic-toc]

me too, I slept through most of the time... and I did tried waking up, sitting upright, opened my eyes... even went to the toilet to wash my face.

Maybe I was too tired that day. But the movie really was a talkie...and not as interesting as their previous episodes.

[keojh]

I seen it last Saturday and it seemed to me that it was different from the previous HP movies. To me, it would be more like preparation for the finale.

[element24]

Watched last wkend... i find it not bad....

They tryin to tell us more abt the process of teenagers growin.. facin the part of Loves ... problems etc etc... and i strongly agree it's prepared for the final battle ... OF cos... every story, not always excitin.... there are times to be high and low mah...

Be more patient...

[bibrief]

:swear: :swear: :swear:

Fell asleep within half an hour of the movie & walked out 45mins after it started..... *yawn*

INTO the WiLD

The movie w'll move you.. I know...

There is pleasure in the pathless wood

There is rapture on the lonely shore

There is society where non intrudes

By the deep sea and the music in its roar

I love not man the less but Nature more

--Lord Byron--

A wonderful movie, full of light - when you love, God's light shines upon you. All people in this movie are humance, each meeting is emotional crash which makes people think whether this is happening in America ?

The movie is not telling about an adventure even it made me pack my bags to hit the road just watching first part. But the more we watch, the more we find it attractive. The book of Krakauer is the adventure of Christopher McCandless to Alaska under Sean Penn's direction (great actor and great director) ... the movie will give audience many thoughts ... more than just a wish "Hit the road"

The audience is not only watching a trip, an adventure, ... but will discover further into the spirit of a 22-year-old guy, ..., Christopher MacCandless is too young for many big thinkings ... too stubborn, even very selfish .... he is always wondering, thinking "Why do people always have to behave badly to each other ... often", why is there community, parents, etc ... after graduating the university with A level and leaving everything behind, Chris hitchhikes to Alaska to live in the wilderness. He transferred 24k US$ to charity, burnt all his money he has, left his favourite car and hit the road to Alaska -"The Wild". He changed his name to .... Alexander Suppertram. On the road crossing over North of America, before "The Wild", he met many different destinies with amazing characteristics. He collected and shared his thoughts to others everyday, he used his special intelligence to heal the world, to renew the world, to love and be loved.

But there is one thing Chris makes me think is that Life is not only about relationships.... what Alex did is whenever he "touched" to different people's lives, he transfer his love to them , brighten their life but unattach to them ... He never gives up his trip, his purpose for such relationships, ... it is said that Alex heart-break anyone who loves him, anyone want to share their life with him .... when the movie ends, I asked myself, whoever were left behind by Alex, how can they endure the great loss, great pain if they know he died ? Whether Alex is too selfish or he just believed to his inner self ?

One of the last Alex's quote in magic bus : Happiness is only real when shared ... does it need to cost his own lonely life to recoginse that everybody craves for being shared. So life is not only about relationships ... but we need relationships to be Happy ?

The movie ends when Alex is trapped in Alaska, no return road, no food, then finally died in his own magic bus. His last thought is returning to his family with a question " What if I run into your arms?" may be Alex return home with the same reason of going away. What did the trip give to him ? A long, lonely, hungry trip and in the end, a death. Alex did not think or did not fathom the power of "The Wild".

But watching this movie under Asian's eyes and thoughts, many people will be surprised by big selfishness of Alex ... But they will be still very touched of young guy, pure at heart, dare to live his life of an adventure ... then it is enough, isn't it ?

"In to the Wild" created a great sensation in Western when the youth find themselves and their aspiration in Alex ...

Dare to live and Dare to find your inner self.

And this is one of the lastest movies I love and really made me want to backpack somewhere. Being a backpacker is not only for saving money but it helps to test my survival capability and many other things ...

[Guest FattChoy88]

I'm not sure how many of you caught Franco Nero in 'The Girl' but it's one of the movies which stuck in my mind for a long long time. I think by today's standard, it would be illegal... (or not). It's something like The Reader, but just more sex orientated European movie.

The other movie is 'Dirty Love'. I'm not sure if it was Mickey Rourke, but the love in the elevator scene was endless. It makes Two Moon Junction feel like a Barney the Purple Dinosaur.

I would also say 'Whore' is another good adult movie (not pxxn), but I was too young to understand.

If possible I would like to collect these DVD.

As for commercial ones, I love

1/ Robert Duval's Lonesome Dove

2/ Clint Eastwood's Escape from Alcatraz

3/ Quentin's Kill Bills

4/ Christopher Reeve's Somewhere in Time

5/ Tom Hank's Forrest Gump

I also like the strange movie Gattaca by Ethan and Uma. It's a very good movie portraying Human aspirations, feelings and behaviour.

[castaway]

I have seen the song about movie "Somewhere in Time" many times but did not have chance to watch the movie. I will try to look for it. But I guess it is an old movie.

Actually, Gattaca is very interesting movie to watch. Ethan and Uma married after acting together in this movie

If you by chance fell in love with older person (I am not talking about your sexual preference) ... then may be you can try to watch this movie, Prime, to see f you like it BUT I DO like it it is comedy romatic btw.

[castaway]

Don't want to creat another new topic but I just recommend you guys there is new interesting game show called "THE MOMENT OF TRUTH" is going on MediaCorp Channel 5 this Wed 10.30 pm (or around that time) ... you will like it ...

I watched it and loved it ... I did want to recommend all you of you guys before, to download it but forgot ... now, suddently it shows here ... so so excited ...

[Guest another gay oscar]

Ang Lee is making another gay movie "Modern WoodstocK" I bet my bottom dollar he is a closet queen!!He made more gay movies in hollywood than all the jap samson pxxn dvds put together!!

[Panda_9791]

I came across this kick ass movie review in the form of a Q&A.

Are there honestly 46 new Transformers in the movie?

I have no fxxking clue. It's impossible to tell most of them apart except for Optimus and the Racist Twins (there's another yellow Autobot who I constantly thought was Bumblebee). There could be 46, or there could be 12. I honestly would believe 12 if someone had said that.

What is the status of the Transformers at the beginning of the film?

The Autobots have joined the military to hunt down the Decepticons. We're told the Decepticons are "doing things," but they appear to be hiding peacefully when the Autobots show up and brutally murder them.

What?

Yeah. The Decepticons aren't apparently doing anything, then the Autobots show up, the Decepticons run for their goddamn lives, and the Autobots hunt them down and brutally murder them. It's kind of weird.

Why is the U.S. military helping them?

Supposedly to help keep the Transformers a secret from the public. Although since the climax of the last film was a massive firefight involving 50-foot robots and took place over five miles of downtown Los Angeles and the beginning of this film wrecks several miles of Shanghai, China, they seem to be incredibly shitty at their job.

How does the U.S. military help them?

Well, not at all, actually. They just kind of come along with guns and stuff, and act like they're going to help, but the Autobots do all the work.

Why is the U.S. military in this movie at all, then?

Because Michael Bay has a huge erection for jets and tanks and aircraft carriers and considers giant robots only a necessary evil for the film. At least 15 full minutes of the film's 150-minute run time is nothing but footage of jets and tanks and planes without any robots or actual action whatsoever.

How is Sam Witwicky dragged back into the fight?

Well, he finds a fragment of the Allspark shard. You know, the Allspark that he spent all last movie being told he shouldn't give to Megatron, but when he gave it to Megatron, it killed Megatron. That one. Anyways, the shard makes the Beef see symbols and act like more of an spaz than usual.

So the Decepticons want the shard? Why?

Uh... to bring Megatron back to life?

What?

That's what they said.

But the Allspark killed Megatron in the first movie.

Yes.

...and now it can also bring him back to life.

It's very powerful, this Allspark.

Uh-huh. So what's their plan to get it?

They send a small R/C car who talks like Joe Pesci in Casino to get it.

Shouldn't they have sent Starscream or somebody?

Look, there's another Allspark shard and get that one anyways, so it doesn't matter.

Well, then why do they give a shit about Sam?

The symbols. In his head. That the shard of the Allspark gave him.

They weren't in the other shard?

Apparently not.

So how do the Decepticons plan to get the symbols, I guess?

Well, the Decepticons have very cunningly created a hot chick robot who they enrolled in the same college and put in the same astronomy class as Sam. And they made her a huge slut.

Wait.

Waiting.

There's a slutty Decepticon?

Yeah, she's a real ho. The Decepticons apparently have an incredibly powerful slut-making program, because she has it down, man. Anyways--

Didn't Sam touch the shard and get the symbols stuck in his head on his first day of college?Yes.

So the Decepticons made a slutty robot to attend his college and enrolled her in classes and put her in on-campus housing just in case Sam ended up being important at some point in the future?

Apparently. It was an elaborate plan, but it sure paid off.

How so?

Well, not at all. The slut-bot made out with him for a little bit then immediately tried to kill him, neither for any apparent motive or gain.

It sounds preposterous.

Doesn't matter, because the Decepticons use the shard piece they do have to resurrect Megatron! He's back! Ooo! Scary!

Why is this scary? All he wanted was the Allspark, and now it's gone.

...because he has a boss! He's called the Fallen, because he's so evil! He has an evil plan to use a machine on Earth to blow up the sun and make energon! Or something! It's not very clear.

Now you're just making shit up as you go along, aren't you?

Best not to think too much about it. Anyways, the symbols in the Beef's head are a map to where this machine exists, so the hunt is on and Sam shortly is captured by other, less slutty Decepticons in one of the many instances where Bumblebee inexplicably abandons the Beef so he can conveniently be in trouble.

Then a robot called the Doctor who speaks gibberish with a German accent shoves things up Shia's nose and gets the symbols.

That's that, then, right? The Decepticons win?

No! Because Optimus Prime saves Sam before they cut off his head, which has another treasure inside!

Really? What is that?

No one really bothers to explain this, actually. Suffice to say, the Decepticons continue to want Sam. Oh, then Optimus Prime fights three Decepticons at once and dies.

Where the hell were the other Autobots during this fight?

I don't know. They were with him before the fight, but then they disappear and show up right after he dies. But they appear sad about Optimus dying. Marginally. I mean, they don't get any screen time or dialogue to convey any feelings or anything, but there's some sad music playing for a little bit afterwards. I assume this means the robots that are off-screen are grieving.

Well, if one shard brought Megatron back to life, can't Sam just use his shard piece to resurrect Optimus?

Yes. He could.

...

...

Well?

He doesn't.

Why not?

I'm not sure exactly.

Then what the hell does he do?

He decides get those symbols that were in his head translated to figure out what the Fallen's up to.

Which Autobot does the translating?

Err... none of them. Actually, it's John Turturro.

What. The fxxk.

Yeah, since he was laid off from his super-secret government agent job, he now works in a NY deli and runs a super-popular Transformers conspiracy theory website. Like ya do.

And why couldn't an Autobot translate these symbols?

Because Bumblebee is mute and the Racist Twins are poor black robots from the slums of Cybertron who never learned how to read. It's a sad commentary on Cybertronian society. Like The Wire, actually.

Where the hell are the other Autobots?

I don't know. Away. They seem to be unable to be reached. They're probably grieving about Optimnus still. Clearly, John Turturro is the reasonable solution here.

So Turturro translates the symbols.

No, that would be silly. He does, in an incredibly bizarre series of connect-the-dots, lead them to Jetfire, an elderly and deceased Transformers whose corpse is hanging out in the Air & Space Museum.

What good is he dead?!

Ah! Remember the shard? Sam uses it to bring Jetfire back to life!

Not Optimus?

No! This way, Sam can get the symbols translated... so he can, er... find the ancient machine... that can, uh... possibly bring Optimus back to life.

You have to fxxking be kidding me.

Moving on! Jetfire teleports everyone to Egypt, including some of the missing Autobots --

Wait, what? Teleports?

Yes, teleports.

Transformers don't teleport.

Jetfire does.

But -- wait a second, he's a fxxking jet. He could fly everybody to Egypt, right? And that would make perfect sense for both the character and the franchise!

Well, I guess so. But he chooses not to. The point is Jetfire teleports them all to Egypt where he explains that there used to be 7 or 8 Primes, and they traveled around the galaxy blowing up suns for energon. But they never did it on planets with life.

Well, they had set the machine up on Earth and not noticed all the life running around, and one of the Primes just said fxxk it, let's do it anyways. This was evil, so they called that Prime the Fallen and beat the shit out of him although he escaped.

Okay...

So that other mysterious reason that the Decepticons wanted Sam's brain? It's because it contains some very vague clues about the Matrix of Leacdership, which is the device that turns on the sun-exploding machine. The Fallen needs the Matrix to blow up the sun and get his Energon.

Hold on. That's what the Matrix of Leadership does in the movie?

Yes. Works the sun-exploding machine.

I'm fuzzy on how "Leadership" covers that.

I didn't name it. But it does sound a little nicer than "Matrix of Blowing Up the Goddamn Sun."

If I may continue, in order to protect the Earth, the 6-7 other Prime hid the Matrix on Earth and made a tomb with their own bodies. Isn't that cool?

...

...

No. No it is not. If they wanted to protect Earth, why did they leave the Matrix on the planet? They're a space-faring race, they could have hid it anywhere in galaxy! Second of all, what the fxxk does making a tomb of their own bodies do? Shouldn't they have stayed alive to protect the Matrix? Or finish off the Fallen? Or just not die and leave Earth and the entire Transformer race in jeopardy?

Uh...

And why hide the Matrix at all? Don't they need Energon to survive? Didn't they say they go to other lifeless planets? These idiot Primes just doomed their whole species for no fxxking reason whatsoever! No wonder the Decepticons are so pissed.

...ahem. Eventually, Sam and crew find the Matrix, which instantly crumbles into dust. Sam puts the dust in a sock because he thinks it will bring Optimus back to life.

Grr.

What follows is the most spectacular part of the movie, as Sam and Mikaela try to run the several miles back to the military camp during a massive Decepticon attack where the military has dropped Optimus Prime's corpse.

Why is that awesome? They could drive back in one of the Autobots and be there in a minute or two.

They don't do that.

What?

They walk.

Of course they do. And I assume the Autobots just mysteriously disappear again until a second before a Decepticon is about to kill Sam.

Yes. Exactly.

I am already incredibly sick of this movie, and I'm just typing questions about it. Sam resurrects Optimus, Optimus kills the Fallen, end of story, right?

Pretty close. Sam dies, though.

Really?

Yeah, for a little while. But then the Transformers in heaven send him back because he still has work to do.

fxxk you.

I'm serious.

fxxk you. There's no way.

It's true. The 6-7 Primes are there in the clouds like Mufasa's head in The Lion King, and tell Sam he's awesome and he needs to live again so he can bring Optimus back to life.

I may be ill.

Then Jetfire appears out of nowhere and rips out his own heart right in front of Optimus to give him his elderly old robot powers. This makes Optimus into a flying badass who defeats the Megatron and Starscream and the Fallen in a little less than two minutes. After the last 30 minutes of the movie have been nothing but explosions -- not all of which have any obvious causes -- it's a bit disappointing.

Anything else you want to add?

Well, only that although Sam jams the Matrix of Leadership into Optimus Prime's chest to resurrect him, a Decepticon takes it out like 10 seconds later and Optimus is fine. Just a little weird, is all.

Can you give me any reason I would want to see this film in theaters?

I can't answer every question, man.

BONUS ROUND!

So it's not as bad as shitting your pants?

Marginally. I honestly had to make a pro and con list to figure it out.

Why on earth would anyone make a film about giant robots but have myriad scenes of some random douchebag's first day of college?

I don't have the faintest clue.

Could there have been more trite, less inspired song for Bumblebee to play when Sam says he's going to college than The Pointer Sisters' "I'm So Excited"?

No. No there couldn't.

Why can't Bumblebee talk, but the other Autobots can?

Because Bumblebee is retarded, but in a Sling Blade kind of a way. This explains how he kills the living fxxk out of a Decepticon later.

Why does Sam's mom buy and consume a pot brownie?

Well, Sam's mom was in a coma for the last 30+ years, which explains how she had never heard of marijuana, and why she didn't understand the consequences of eating it even after her husband specifically told her it was a pot brownie (Sam was unfortunately conceived and born during this period). A better question is why any college student in America would be selling pot brownies at an on-campus bake sale, let alone to a middle-aged woman.

A lot was made of how Shia the Beef's hand injury was written into the film. How was this done?

Well, sometimes Shia had a huge bandage on his hand, and sometimes he didn't.

That doesn't sound "written in" at all.

Well, no actual words are used to explain it. It might be more accurate to say it "shows up sometimes."

Why would a robot need to fart, pee, or vomit? And why would it need testicles?

Michael Bay does not understand what a robot is.

What is the point of the character of Sam's college roommate, and why the fxxk does he stay for the entirety of the movie?

I have no clue. He's not comedy relief, because that's covered by 90% of the Transformers themselves. He technically leads the Beef to John Turturro, but surely there could have been another way to do that. Besides, Turturro just leads them to Jetfire anyways. It's all extraneous.

Why can only a Prime kill the Fallen? Why can Jetfire teleport? Why can the Fallen wave a staff and make shit fly around? Why do actual cars and Autobots get sucked into Devastator's maw, but John Turturro and that other kid can run around?

Because... because fxxk YOU, that's why.

Can you explain Megan Fox's appeal?

Yes. She looks like a pxxn star and has the same acting talent as one, yet for some reason she makes mainstream movies. This tonal disconnect is what's so appealing about her.

If you had to pick a single scene that exemplifies Michael Bay's utter disdain for story and continuity, what would it be?

When five Decepticons sink to the bottom of the ocean to retrieve Megatron's corpse. A submarine tracks five "subjects" going down, and when they get there, one of the Decepticons is killed to give parts to Megatron. 5 -1 +1 = 5, right? No, because the sub somehow tracks "six" subjects coming up. Not only is this very basic math, this is the simplest of script errors. It could not possibly have been more than one page apart in the script. And yet Michael Bay either didn't care to notice or didn't give a fxxk. "Math? Math is for pussies. My movies are about shit blowing up, man."

Could you sum up the film in one line of its dialogue?

"I am standing directly beneath the enemy's scrotum."

[oralb]

hahaha... Ah pan, that's a good one...

what script? It is a Michael "I-blow-things-up" Bay movie.

[castaway]

If you guys like current action movie "Taken" , I recommend you try to watch "Trade", it is also about the sex traffic in Mexico ...

Some people are so deeply entrenched in denial, nothing can make them see the light. No, make that many people.

Or maybe most people just don't give a shit to plot or logic in this kinda movie. Just bring on the artillery and make sure there's lots of shiny cool robots and lots of explosions. DUH!

You know this movie lived up to its title when even the trailer had a warning (way beyond the R rating for the US movies) that said not for the faint hearted.

Forget Hostel/ Saw series, internet review claimed that compared to this movie, those were kiddie stuffs.

This is billed as the "cruelest Japanese splatter movie ever" and it truly lives up to that billing. It is no small relief that the film lives up to its Movie title, a torture pxxn genre that has largely taken over the horror field. No CGI effects here, just sadistic violence that rarely flinches away, use of excellent makeup and prosthetics and shot very convincingly.

I love horror movie ! When i go watch horror movies with my friends, I am always laughing. Because I am looking at my friend's get shocked reaction and I go laughing at them. Maybe I watched too much horror movie until not scared liao. I'm the queen of horror

I read the review, almost no plot at all - a couple were picked up from the street and a nameless person began to toture, rape and mutilate them.

it sounded uncanny like pxxn, no plot just action...

something like Transformer II as well... hahaha.... i am gonna get creamed for this comment

[ixmog]

Just received information sharing from a friend today. The time traveller's wife ...

First, I watched the trailer of this movie sometimes ago and I thought it in different way. I thought the husband is a traveller around the world for some special mission while his wife has to stay at home waiting for him ...

But after reading the synopsis of its, I was wrong.

As per IMDB "A Chicago librarian suffers from a rare genetic disorder that sends him hurtling through time whenever he is under extreme duress; despite the fact that he vanishes at inordinately frequent and lengthy intervals, he attempts to build a stable future with the beautiful young heiress he loves. Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams star in this dramatic fantasy, which is directed by Robert Schwentke and based on the best-selling book by author Audrey Niffenegger.

Clare has been in love with Henry her entire life. She believes they are destined to be together, even though she never knows when they will be separated: Henry is a time traveler--cursed with a rare genetic anomaly that causes him to live his life on a shifting timeline, skipping back and forth through his lifespan with no control. Despite the fact that Henry's travels force them apart with no warning, Clare desperately tries to build a life with her one true love."

As a guy who likes travelling alot around the world, I always wish to find someone whom I am deeply in love, who is always waiting for me at home and who is a home where I always want to return. I really hope this is a beautiful romantic movie.

It will be released in Singapore 3rd September, 2009.

Let's watch it

Btw, Final Destination 4 is going on Cinema in Singapore this 27th August ... let's watch it :thumb:

[davecub]

My favorite movie is Robin William's "Patch Adam" - a very touching and moving movie.

There was a chinese movie that I like very much, it is called "Centrestage' (not sure I got the title right or not, its chinese title is "Run Lin Yu"). The main cast is Maggies Cheung. She was fabulous and her performance was superb !!!

Have a nice weekend !!!

Years ago I watched a movie named "Sliding Doors" - loved it....your life can be very difference if.....

I like the idea of that movie ... What if one split second sent your life in two completely different directions?.

Recently I just watched a movie "Pathology", it is a very nice Horror and Thriller movie :thumb: with surprised ending + many sexy scenes of Milo Ventimiglia :thumb:

" A group of medical students devise a deadly game: to see which one of them can commit the perfect murder"

A romantic movie for the weekend ...

A summary from imdb for Serendipity:

Jonathan Tragger (John Cusack) meets Sara Thomas (Kate Beckinsale) by chance in the Christmas eve, in Bloomingdale's, both trying to buy the unique pair of black gloves available for sale. They decide to go to the cafeteria Serendipity and Jonathan asks for her name and phone. Sara decides to write it in a book, and his on a five dollars bill. She gives the bill to a newspaperman and she says that she would sell the book in a New York used books store. She states that if destiny wants them two together, Jonathan will get that book back. Or she will receive that bill again. From this day on, Jonathan will 'chase' Sara's book trying to reach his lost love.

Magic happens, if you let it; and sometimes even fate or destiny-- or whatever you want to call it-- steps in to lend a hand. But when it concerns love, and finding that special person you're going to spend the rest of your life with, should you risk tempting fate with a test of that love or what is seemingly meant to be, or should you just follow your apparent destiny and embrace it?

I really like the idea of this movie.

Under the Tuscana Sun has everything I need in a movie.

Great cast with very handsome Italian actor Raoul Bova and typical American housewife Diane Lane. The movie was shot in one of the most beautiful region in Italy, Tuscana - Toscana.

When you are very depressed, when you lost everything in your life, watch this movie, it will help you to look at your life in a better view or at least you will feel positively.

I still remember a line in this movie which helped me to stop being sad and desperated ...

"I already tried my best until I have to let it go"

In a relationship, if you already tried your best to keep it, but other party did not, then it is time to let it go. Otherwise, there will be nothing left, even some beautiful memory.

Have a lovely weekend, guys :thumb:

P.S : Btw, just watched The Time Traveller's wife last weekend, it is very very touching movie and can see Eric Bana naked

What will you do to your love if you only have one day left with him ?

Let's watch the movie "If only". It is not big movie but very touching. Jennifer Love Hewitt performance is great while the main actor isnt that good. Above, it is nice movie to watch over weekend

His love for her forced fate to change

Another movie but I guess many people watched already, it is Lake House.

A typical academic romantic movie which always can touch anybody's heart "Love Story"

Love means never having to say you're sorry

I always like this one because I remember when I was falling in love first time, all the lyrics of the song Love Story came to me at the very right moment :

Where do I begin

To tell the story of how great a love can be ...

With her first hello

She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine ...

Apart from these above movies, I dont want to forget re-mentioning "Prayers for Bobby".

I really recommend this gay movie for young guys.

Have great long weekend you guys.

Hi Castaway, thanks for recommending "Prayers for Bobby". I watched it in You Tube and it is a very touching movie.

[davecub]

Watched "Indecent Proposal" on HBO in my hotel when I was on a working trip. Enjoyed the movie and Demi Moore looks great.

Love is selfish and human beings are very emotional creatures. But if 2 persons love each other dearly, nothing can wear them apart.

Will anyone let your bf has sex with another person when being offered a million dollars? I think I knew the answer.

Have a nice weekend.

[cock brand]

Yeah, I watched this movie I think about 3 or 4 years ago.

This character Malena is a very strong lady, surviving and making it thru during a very harsh period in time.

And the boy's coming of age and being enchanted by her is quite amusing.

Nice movie :thumb:

If you are alone, what can keep you busy ?

The Shawshank Redemption has an answer for you.

Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.

Another movie I would like to recommend but I guess almost all of you have watched already, it is "The Green Mile".

After watching this movie, I just fell in "love" with Tom Hank

These two movies have shown us why Stephen King is a master not only of horror but also of prose that shakes the soul and moves the heart.

Anybody watched "Red Dragon" last night on Channel 5 ? Really recommend. :thumb:

I watched it few years back but last night, watched again on TV, wow.

I think it is best movie in series of crime, horror, thriller "Silence of the lambs".

[davecub]

Watched a movie "Across The Universe" ( I hope I get the title right) on the plane. It is a musical, using mainly songs from The Beatles. I really enjoyed the songs performed by the casts. I am not a big fan of The Beatles but the movie had injected new life into the songs with new arrangements and new styles.

[Utopaen]

Davecub, you got the title right, Across the Universe is quite a fantastic musical movie

peronally, one of my favorite movies is Pleasantville, a story about change and resistance, veiled by a very fairy tale setting and storyline. One of Tobey's Maguire's (Spiderman) early movies, but for me, still a classic to this day. Highly recommended.

Hi Castaway, I watched "If Only" and "Prayers For Bobby" with my bf. Very nice and heart warming movies indeed (but felt sad for Bobby lah). Thank you for the recommendations. Must say I like the song that was sung by the actress in "If Only". Cheers!

I am happy that you like "If Only" even the actor's acting is not really so good as I expected but I just love the surprised ending. Sometimes, Loving someone may ask you to sacrifice yourself then how many of us dare to do it ?

I am not so good in music so I rarely listen to the soundtrack during watching movie but I do enjoy and appreciate when people said they like the soundtrack :-)

Many of us always think that gay guys killing themselves or commiting suicide is crazy or "stupid" but after watching "Prayers For Bobby", I can sympathize and understand why they did it. So try to put yourself in other person's position before judging anything .

"Across The Universe" is a musical movie so if you do like Musical, I recommend you to find DVD "Notre Dame de Paris" and "Romeo and Juliet", they are totally incredible, you will not only like its beautiful music but also the dancing. I fell in love with musical in theatre just after watching them. "Notre Dame de Paris" was played in Singapore 3 years ago so did you have chance to watch it ?
