The storyline may not be the greatest, but the colors, the special effects, and the animation is definitely worth another trip down the rabbit hole!

This is a sequel to the first movie where Alice reunites with her old friends and learns of her true destiny.

A must see movie nevertheless.

 

 

It looks like Remember Me will be a big hit because of the young girls and the formerly young girls! LOL!

This is now playing.

Dear John is not one of those complicated movies. It’s an alright movie. It’s entertaining. It’s a “feel good”  love story with a twist. The twist is not at all predictable. Of course, the common elements of an “N. Sparks” novel have to be there – beach, house by the beach, and the moon or the stars.

It will make you hungry though. It’s not because of the story itself. It’s because of the kids running around constantly inside the theater.

So, from Biaggi’s to Houlihan’s. Final choice – Houlihan’s!!

I asked few friends if they wanted to watch BROTHERS with me. Well, I got no takers!! LOL! So, I ended up watching  it with Dennis. *sigh*….kidding!

 

It’s based on Susan Beir’s 2004 Danish-language film. I think they bought the rights to this foreign flick and then made it their own. They slightly changed the plot though. In my opinion, the movie has the OSCAR written all over it.

Similar to pearl harbor? Not really. Totally different plot. It will remind you of it though. Definitely NOT a chick flick.

 

Here’s the plot from www.apple.com. Check out IMDB as well.

==============================

 

When a decorated Marine goes missing overseas, his black-sheep younger brother cares for his wife and children at home—with consequences that will shake the foundation of the entire family. BROTHERS tells the powerful story of two siblings, thirtysomething Captain Sam Cahill (Tobey Maguire) and younger brother Tommy Cahill (Jake Gyllenhaal), who are polar opposites. A Marine about to embark on his fourth tour of duty, Sam is a steadfast family man married to his high school sweetheart, the aptly named Grace (Natalie Portman), with whom he has two young daughters (Bailee Madison, Taylor Grace Geare). Tommy, his charismatic younger brother, is a drifter just out of jail who’s always gotten by on wit and charm. He slides easily into his role as family provocateur on his first night out of prison, at Sam’s farewell dinner with their parents, Elsie (Mare Winningham) and Hank Cahill (Sam Shepard), a retired Marine.

 

Next in line – Alvin and the Chipmunks The Squeakquel.

Another computer-generated characters that squeak. Good for kids. Adults may like it too. Maybe. You’ll probably roll your eyes at every scene, but it’s cute (for kids).

This is the 2nd installment to the “Alvin and the Chipmunks”.

We watched AVATAR on its 2nd day of showing. It’s absolutely worth the money!!!

Cameron has created another masterpiece since Titanic.

AVATAR is very impressive on a technical level, and not so much on the story and/or the casting. For those of you who can determine where the film splits between animation and CGI, well goodluck in this one. It’s really hard to tell. The colors, sights, narrative are breathtaking. GO WATCH IT! Highly recommended!

These photos were taken from our recent trip to Lego store. The Star Wars characters were there at that time promoting new lego toys.

Of course, Jarrett wouldn’t pass this opportunity.

These outtakes  are from Vanity Fair’s December issue. Guaranteed to make you swoon!

Sure, sure, he doesn’t look like he showered, but who cares? LOL!

Taylor’s dating Taylor. Must be some publicity stunt for their upcoming movie, “Valentine’s Day”.

=========================================

It’s a wrap for Eclipse -the third installment in Twilight saga.

There’s a new movie coming early 2010 – Alice in Wonderland. It’s about a 19-year-old girl named Alice. She returns to the magical world from her childhood adventure, where she reunites with her old friends and learns of her true destiny. That is, to end the Red Queen’s reign of terror.

The movie is directed by Tim Burton. It stars Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Michael Sheen. It’s a 3D fantasy adventure. It’s from Disney (3D eh, well, it figures).

I saw the trailer last night in SPIKE SCREAM Award. Clearly, this is not the wonderland you’re expecting to see. There’s a twist to it and may not be intended for young audience. I’ll define “young” as children younger than 10 maybe(?).

A “must see” movie indeed.
