Percy Jackson & the Olympians : The Lightning Thief (2010)

Yet another author who tries to copy JK Rowling success to Harry Porter? Though written by Rick Riordan this time, but still directed by the same guy who brought us Harry Porter. Let's hope Hollywood won't screw up this one like before.

The Box (2009)

The Box (2009)

Definitely not for the commercial movie goer. It's dark, provoking, controversial and the hidden message may vary depends on which audiences. Breakthrough for both Marsden and Diaz. I need to watch this for the second time to be and see if I can discover other messages. Some strongly loving it and where most hate it.

Rating : 4/5

Genre : Mystery, Thriller, Fiction, Suspense

Actor : Cameron Diaz, James Marsden, Frank Langella

Somewhere In Time (!980)

Somewhere in Time (1980)

A must watch from 80's Classic list. Enchanted, Innocent and Powerful. Reeve is more than just Mr Clark Kent. Simple yet irreplaceable, Loves transcend everything and I called this "Titanic" of 80's. The score "Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini" by Chet Swiatkowski is simply amazingly TIMELESS & other excellant score by John Barry - I called it James Horner of 80's (Oscar Winner for Original Score).

Rating : 4½/5
Genre : Romance, TT, Fiction
Actor : Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour, Christopher Plummer

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)

Pathetic but true that 3 out of 6 sequels actually failed to meet my expectations and caused disappointment to the audience. Also heard that last sequel HP7 will be split to 2 episodes. Can't imagine if HP7 will be better than ever but I'm sure it will still be box office top 10 grosser. Can anyone tell me what's going on with Hermione and Ron? And since when there's a Ginny in the movie?! This sequel confused me so much that I actually doubt if I might have miss the previous sequel.

Rating : 3/5
Genre : Fiction, Fantasy, Magic, Epic
Actor : Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Michael Gambon, Helena Bonham Carter
