Kung Fu Majong 3

RENT
This is yet another mahjong film, but this has a slightly better story. It's nothing new, but still stays alive. There's not much more to say.

Stranger Than Fiction

DUMP
This was a big disappointment. This was probably the worst of Will Ferrell's films. It's not even worth watching. It wasn't funny and it wasn't inspirational. The film was definitely commercially promoted, but came out horrible. Maggie G was a better actor than Will.

Happy Birthday

DUMP
A very pointless film about two people who love each other, but never seem to be able to stay together. The boyfriend always sends a birthday wish to the girl, no matter where he is. Total worthless story that tried and failed miserably. A surprising ending that was not worth the wait.

Babel

DUMP
Stay away from this film even though Brad Pitt is in it. You will be disappointed. This film might have some artistic meaning but it was horrible to watch. Things are disjointed and you are in totally different places of the world in a matter of minutes. It might show that accidents can anywhere and have consequences to other people of the world, but it was sure boring to watch.

Bet to Basic

DUMP
I think the mahjong series are dead. There have been literally hundred of movies on mahjong and it's not interesting to watch anymore. The jokes were especially not funny and the final mahjong match at the end was a total bummer. These type of movies are predictable and there's no new ideas from it anymore.

After This Our Exile

RENT
Aaron won the Golden Horse award for his spectacular performance in this film. However, throughout the film, he was just a very angry man. It only made it impressive because Aaron was in such a serious role. He is usually only known for his singing as a popstar idol. Besides all that, it is still worth watching because Aaron is making a breakthrough in his acting and Charlie comes out of retirement. We haven't seen her on film for awhile, and she still looks great. Kelly Lin also stars as a prostitute who gets involved with Aaron. If you do see this film, set aside 3 hours. This is a long film and it does get very dull after the second hour.

2 Become 1

DUMP
A futile effort to show the fight against breast cancer. It's a nice try to be inspirational but the story falls flat and it isn't interesting to watch. It doesn't do too well as a romantic comedy either. In addition, I never understand why Richie does film. He can't act or speak correctly.

Rocky Balboa

BUY
After thirty years with Slyvester Stallone as Rocky, this is the last of the series. If you grew up watching the Rocky series, this will definitely bring back memories. This has always been an inspirational film showing that nothing is impossible, and this one is no exception. Comes with all the classic Rocky music and more.

Borat

BUY
Borat is really funny. He doesn't know any of the modern things in America, and makes you laugh with the silly stunts that he performs. It doesn't look like he is acting and everything seems very believable and that Borat is really a dumb man. In fact, probably, the actor himself is making millions out of this movie.

Casino Royale

BUY
I thought this might be a disappointing film compared to the rest of the Bond series, but it turned out okay. Daniel Craig isn't as suave as Pierce Brosnan, but he gets the job done. The theme of the movie was a high stake poker game but they spent too much time on the game. Most people who have no interest in poker would have suddenly lost interest. There's a nice twist to the story at the end but it seem drawn out.
