Bounty Hunter

Watched @ The Cathay

Another Gerard Butler movie that comes of the assembly line. His movie are coming out so fast, there's hardly time to forget his previous one. The problem with this one is that it totally reminds me of the ugly truth, not totally the same, but there's essence of the previous show in it. That is a bad thing.

The other bad thing is that the plot is quite filled with loopholes. the opening and finale are just lousy. Not plots that are well thought off, just plots that are trying to give gerard butler a movie, so that they can squeeze as much $$ as they can out of him while he is still the popular man. disappointing. Notice how far he has fallen in movie standard ever since 300? tsk tsk tsk

There nothing much to say abt jennifer aniston, she is in her typical role. boring cos it's the same her, but than again, that's the her I wanna see. :P

The Ugly Truth

Watched on 20 Sep @ The Grand Cathay

This is one of the most entertaining romantic comedy of the year!

Gerard Butler in another romantic comedy, but this time he is the badass. It's really not that hard for him to play this part, imagine this role as, a combination of ALL his previous roles! hahaa.

Katherine Heigl well, I think she's kindda typecast. Typical pretty woman, tough yet sensitive. Same old same old... BUT!! It's still good to see her, if you have watched the movie you'll know what I mean. A guy is still just a guy.

This whole show is simply entertaining, lots of laughs. However i'm not sure if it's really funny or really crude that made me and almost everyone else in the cinema laugh like mad. It's entertaining nonetheless.

What I really really like about this show? laughable and crude as it may be, I think it's still successful in the romantic genre, how so? You just know when everyone in the cinema immediately stops laughing and anticipates in silence hoping for the perfect romantic moment to happen. Yes, that's the hallmark of a great romance flick.

And finally I must add, The truth IS ugly, you may hate it but that doesnt mean you won't enjoy or benefit from it.

Gamer

Watched on 10th Sept @ The Cathay

This is a movie about the future of interactive gaming. What's the next step from controlling virtual avatars?? Well, controlling avatar that are real humans. It's really an intersting concept, and a rather attractive one. It seems that a person can control another in this "virtual" world and do watever they one and not be punished for it. Cool Eh??

It seems to me that the future of ours may not be as cheerry as it once was. Degeneration seems to be the path we are wlking into. This is the 2nd movie I've seen that depicts the future and a rather degenerated world. You will notice the emphasis on sex more than anything else. Sex sells... So is porn the faster growing industry in the world now??

Anyway, about this movie. Gerard Butler plays a death row convict who took part in some sort of a lottery to gain his freedom. The catch is that anytime during this lottery he may die. As the story unfolds, it turns out that the mastermind behind the virtual reality, is once again the bad guy!!

I personally find it funny that in this movie, hackers are actually pretty lousy. So they were not the ones who save the day. It's more of bad guys hitting the self-destruct button in the end.
