The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010)

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010)

The adventure continues but I could't recall where the previous episode stops. However one still able to enjoy this as there's isn't really a direct connection to the prequel. And these kids really aged and turned into almost teen. I wonder how long it can last to the ending book.

Rating : 3.5/5

Megamind (2010)

Megamind (2010) - 3D

Where The Wild Things Are (2009)

Where the Wild Things Are (2009)

Probably the second worse kids movie after animation "Bee Movie". Characters looked cute but disappointed, mystery adventure seems excited but slow and bored. Fantasy scenes were limited and repeated too many times. Now that it makes sense why it's not released in cinema.

Rating : 2.5/5

Genre : Fantasy, Adventure, Family, Drama

Actor : Max Records, Pepita Emmerichs, James Gandolfini, Catherine O'Hara, Forest Whitaker

The Spy Next Door (2010)

The Spy Next Door (2010)

Typical Jacky Chan Hollywood production, some suggest that this is the Hollywood version of Jacky's "Rob-B-Hood" in HK. Jacky is too old for stunt and action movie, hence he's more to comedy and family drama now.

Rating : 3½/5

Genre : Comedy, Action, Family

Actor : Jacky Chan, Amber Valletta, Madeline Carroll, Will Shadley, Alina Foley

The Princess and the Frog (2009)

The Princess and The Frog (2009)

Excellent voice acting featured many famous actors. Another Disney's classic is born -- Tina and the untold stories of frog prince which most of us thought we knew it already. Not to be miss for Disney's production lover. First 2 minute of the film, I thought I was watching Angelina Jolie's "Changling" in animation version. Hahahhaha...

Planet 51 (2009)

Planet 51 (2009)

Another less successful one from SONY Animation. However this is better than Surf Up. Lack of originality of it's cartoon character. It didn't have the oozie green of Shrek and Captain-T has the look of Buzz Lightyears from Toy Story. Not crap but suffice for discounted movie ticket night.

Rating : 3/5

Astro Boy (2009)

Astro Boy (2009)

From Classic to Modern, I must say this is way better than expected. So if you are already a Astro-goer, don't miss this ok. Good thing is that the trailer didn't expose most of the movie and storyline. Wanna know more, then go check out the movie. Wish there's 3D version too.

Rating : 4/5

Because I Said So (2007)

Because I Said So (2007)

Family drama, about girls, sisters and mother talking about love and relationship at their different age. Well, Mandy Moore isn't as bad as I thought but neither good compared to other actresses. Diane Keaton is sporting and well acting, that Bette Midler, Whoopi Goldberg and Barbra Streisand shares the similarity. Typical chick-flick that entertains teenage girl who's eager to love.

Rating : 2½/5
Genre : Comedy, Romance, Chick-Flick
Actor : Diane Keaton, Mandy Moore, Gabriel Macht
