The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec

Finally managed to get hold of these film by Luc Besson who brought us Yamakazi and the Taxi franchise. His characters are mostly witty and the actions are tremendously spectacular.

The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec main character is a lady with great wits and headstrong. Adele is similarly close as a French Lara Croft only in 1970s era. There should also be a useless character in Luc Besson's films which do irritate the living hell of the viewers.

Adele sets out to recover a mummified doctor and revive him with a help of her telepathics professor, to use the mummified doctors expetise to save her comatosed sister. A lot of revival going here. But with another chain of event, the professor was arrested for links to earlier revival of a pterosaur which killed the state prefect.

Adele is up again to save the professor and then them mummy and lastly her sister.

Luc Besson never fails to produce great movie with great laugh and adventures.

No Strings Attached

Have you ever met a girl you fancy and she into you too but does not want any relationship involves? Oh did I mentioned she want sex too?

No Strings Attached between Emma (Natalie Portman) and Adam (Ashton Kutcher), such a hot couple. Emma and Adam met in a summer camp and eventually bumped into each other as years go by. After knowing Adam's girlfriend is sleeping with his father, he goes out in search to screw other girl.

Upon waking up from being drunk the previous night, he woke up naked in the couch of Emma apartment. Emma was teasing that they had great sex which apparently they did not. During the conversation, both ended up having sex for real.

Knowing her occupation as a doctor does not allow her time for relations, she shunts the idea of being in a relation but would still love to meet up for sex. Now wouldn't that be great but emotions do come by and prove that we are human.

Johnny English Reborn

Mr Bean aka Rowan Atkinson is back as a British spy in Johnny English Reborn. The rubbery face funny guy makes spies a joke which is truly enjoyable unlike another irritating British spy, Austin Power - Funny but irritating.

Johnny English is very much like Mr Bean only English speaks. All craziness are very much alike. Top actions and top comedy with a gorgeous female companion, a Bond girl Rosamund Pike. Her sultriness melts both English's and my hearts. There's so much laughters and jokes that you'll either remember or forgotten but surely the laughters never ends throughout the movie.

Hobo With A Shotgun

Who would have thought that a fake trailer in Robert Rodriguez's Grindhouse would actually be produced as a feature film. Apparently this is the second after Machete. So expect those actions and filmatology of Robert Rodriguez brilliant yet crazy films.

The movie features a struggling a hobo who visits a lawless town in hope to earn and starts a lawn-mowing business. He was unpleased with the state of the town and the person responsible for the corruption. He sets out on a vendetta to avenge and set things right for the town with a help from an educated prostitute.

Expect tons of blood and dismemberment of body part to even "ball" being blown off. As much as I squirmed watching movies, Hobo With A Shotgun is tolerable because it seems so fake but sadistically enjoyable.

HOP

From the producer of Despicable Me, expect some minions in the backgrounds, this time chicks. Hop is about E.B.(Russell Brand) to take over the role of Easter Bunny from his father but he would rather be a drummer instead. After being force to be the Easter Bunny, E.B ran away from Easter Island to Hollywood where he will chase his dreams.

E.B. was struck down by Fred's (James Marsden) car. Fred took E.B. in after knowing that he realized that Easter Bunny is real. Mayham awaits the duo when the EB father sent out the elite Pink Barrets to bring EB back to Easter Island.

A great kids movie and adorable chicks minion. Why do they make cute minions? But they're not as adorable and funny as Despicable Me's minion.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

The fourth installment to the great swashbuckling series of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean is quite different from the first three series. For once, the kick out Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley and brought in a much hotter Penelope Cruz. It's about time they cast away an awkward pirate and an irritating lass. Cruz as Angelica is a great addition to the series with her hotness. And with POC, there's should be Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow. Though in Stranger Tides, Jack is not as wacky and zany as in the first three series.

Jack was caught as always and was asked to guide an expedition to locate the fountain of youth before the Spaniards. Jack refuses the offer when he had to work alongside Hector Barbossa who lost Jack ship, The Black Pearl. However, Jack was taken aboard Blackbeard ship, the Queen's Anne's Revenge and was force to be in the same expedition in search of the fountain of youth.

In order to successfully use the fountain, the fountain water must be drunk simultaneously from 2 chalices, which one includes a drop of mermaids tear. Whomever drinks the tear will have his life extended and the other to perish.

There isn't much great battles on Stranger Tides, however there is tons of hot ladies around such as Miss Cruz and the lovely topless mermaids.

Super 8

Did you ever felt that you're watching Super 8 and it feels very much similar to E.T. It could be the cast of young boys or the era the movie that was set it that makes it feels similar to E.T.

Eventhough there are similar feeling to E.T, Super 8 is by far better because it packs more actions and graphics. Welcome to the 21st century! The kids shared a great brotherly bond like most kids do and there is surely a girl in the boys group. How the boys spend time together is different than how kids here spends time together. They help each other in creating a zombie film. How cool is that? My time, we just kick balls, hid from one another and go skinny-dipping. Americans kids have great past-time or it's just olden kids.

The mysterious alien is more brutal than our E.T. That alien thing can even deflect projectiles and missiles. Near the end when the alien is revealed, it's not those gruesome aliens like Alien or predator, it's just a normal alien looking thing like those in MIB.

Another good boys friendship movie just like adding E.T with Stand By Me.

The Last Circus

It has been awhile since I last watched a foreign movie. I chanced upon this Spanish movie in iTune trailer website. The trailer promises lust, rage, despair and revenge and they sure did a stunning job at it.

The Last Circus is about a love triangle between two clowns and a beautiful acrobat. Our hero, Javier is a new clown who carried on his father legacy after being caught in the Spanish Civil war, tortured and enslaved. But he is too miserable to be funny and is named the sad clown. The other is a Happy Clown who humilates the poor sad clown. But behind the make-up, the Happy Clown is a ruthless leader and a violent person.

I found it amusing to see a clown fighting in the war in a full clown attire. Javier fathers maybe a clown but he fights honorably and without fear. And as the story progresses, the stress of the love-triangle, both Sad and Happy clowns became insane and disfigured to obtain the love of the fair acrobat. They can surely join the league of crazy clowns inclusive of the late Heath Ledger Joker.

If you love Heath Ledger's joker, you'll definately enjoy the clowns from The Last Circus
