I can only do a 'words' post now. Reason being Blogger is screwed up. Oh well, once again, it suits my url. ;) I have so many movies I want to watch, and that is nothing new!

I watched Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea (always can't get it right), Labor Pains, New in Town, Sunshine Cleaning, When Harry Met Sally and maybe a few more movies (which I can't recall) during my absence from this blog. I'll share some quick movie reviews!

Ponyo was nice, it had a simple concept but was able to reach out to my heart. The director-cum-artist-cum-writer was the same person who did Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle and so on! I'm inspired to watch Howl's Moving Castle again!

Labor Pain, starring Lindsay Lohan, how can I miss out on watching it? :D No matter what people say about her, I still think she is very gorgeous! Alright, the movie concept was very similar to the one produced in Hong Kong years ago starring Miriam Yang. Film wise, it was kind of identical. However, there was a twist in the story that was quite refreshing and unexpected. So, watch it for yourself to know it!

New in Town, Renee Zellweger, totally hilarious. This film totally captured my attention without fail for the whole time. Although there are parts in the trailer that wasn't in the film, which made me a little disappointed, humor was brought out in a style I liked a lot. A little predictable, but I enjoyed the good laugh, definitely worth a watch!

Sunshine Cleaning uses dark humor. Some parts were funny, while the rest of the film is mostly in a serious mood. Not really considered a comedy from what I thought, more like a drama? There is a meaning to the film. I was expecting it to be totally hilarious with the combination of Amy Adams and Emily Blunt. I had my hopes too high, maybe that's why. Whatever. I still sat through and enjoyed the whole movie.

When Harry met Sally. I know, I know, it is an old show. But it is kind of like a classic, I feel. I laughed and I cried during the movie. I like the way the movie is portrayed, segments and segments of different periods of time. It gave a very unique feel to the film. You watch it and you will feel this, 'Again? Oh man, just get together for Chris' sake!' Not in a bad way though. You will miss out a lot if you didn't watch it.

That's all! :D
