Movies and more Movies...

Watched so many movies recently, both on movie theaters and off my computer screen as well....I shall give me ratings of them individually.

First, let's start with

'What happens in Vegas'

In the city of New York, high-strung stockbroker Joy (Cameron Diaz) is dumped by her fiance, while laid-back carpenter Jack (Ashton Kutcher) is fired from his job. Emotionally distraught, they both travel to Las Vegas where they meet in a hotel room that had been double booked. After clearing up the misunderstanding at the reception, they proceed to engage in a night of partying and never ending fun, resulting in the two getting married in an inebriated ceremony. Soon after the fog lifts, they decide to divorce, at which time Jack takes a quarter from Joy and drops it into a slot machine as she walks away. As he is leaving with the slot machine still rolling, he hits a $3,000,000 triple-jackpot. They were supposed to go on their own way but due to the $3,000,000 won by Jack with the quarter of Joy, the two must figure out a way to share it since they are still legally married. Once back in New York, a judge declares that the couple cannot divorce until they attempt to co-exist for six months, while being monitored by a marriage counselor weekly. They will be permitted to keep half the winnings from Las Vegas if they cooperate. If either party does not, their fortune will be confiscated. As the newlyweds devise more and more cunning schemes to undermine one another and keep the other's share, Jack and Joy ironically find themselves in a position they didn't expect...

A very funny comedy, one of the funniest romance comedy i've ever watched this year. The moments whereby they tried making things difficult for each other to the time whereby they discovered they really start to fall for each other, so much so that the money wasn't of any concern anymore. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5/5

'The Incredible Hulk'

THE INCREDIBLE HULK kicks off an all-new, explosive and action-packed epic of one of the most popular superheroes of all time. In this new beginning, scientist Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) desperately hunts for a cure to the gamma radiation that poisoned his cells and unleashes the unbridled force of rage within him: The Hulk. Living in the shadows-cut off from a life he knew and the woman he loves, Betty Ross (Liv Tyler)-Banner struggles to avoid the obsessive pursuit of his nemesis, General Thunderbolt Ross (William Hurt), and the military machinery that seeks to capture him and brutally exploit his power.

I missed the first part of The Hulk if i'm not wrong, therefore didn't really think much of it, perhaps bringing the thought of 'oh, just another marvel movie, should be kind of expected with all the actions and blah blah blah'. I wasn't wrong but then again, it's much much better than what i've expected it to be. I would think that there's a sequel to it after Ironman appeared right at the end of the show, offering his help to capture Hulk.

Just another thought of all marvel movies, why must all marvel superheroes be 'tagged' with either a girl they like or a girlfriend?

Rating: 4/5

'Get Smart'

In the all-new action comedy Get Smart, Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) is on a mission to thwart the latest plot for world domination by the evil crime syndicate known as KAOS. When the headquarters of U.S. spy agency Control is attacked and the identities of its agents compromised, the Chief (Alan Arkin) has no choice but to promote his ever-eager analyst Maxwell Smart, who has always dreamt of working in the field alongside stalwart superstar Agent 23 (Dwayne The Rock Johnson). Smart is partnered instead with the only other agent whose identity has not been compromised: the lovely-but-lethal veteran Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway). As Smart and 99 get closer to unraveling KAOS master planand each otherthey discover that key KAOS operative Siegfried (Terence Stamp) and his sidekick Shtarker (Kenneth Davitian) are scheming to cash in with their network of terror. Given little field experience and even less time, Smartarmed with nothing but a few spy-tech gadgets and his unbridled enthusiasmmust defeat KAOS if he is to save the day.

Steve Carrell is like the Ben Stiller of the old times...he's definitely suitable to be a comedian or any role in a comedy simply because his face is already a joke. Funny! It's quite a lame movie but isn't that's what makes the audience laugh out loud most of the time? One of the funniest movie of the year...

Rating: 5/5
