WALL·E, Dreamgirls, The Other Boleyn Girl

WALL·E


So I've been wanting to catch Wall E since it came out in the US like months ago and I had quite some-but-not-too-high expectations for this movie..well, if i were to describe this movie in one word,it would be.. Cute. Not that its a bad thing,its good! lol. why cute?cause thats the first word that will come to mind whenever i think of Wall E-the cutest most cutest robot ever.even cuter than R2D2 lol! Story wise, I have to say that its not the best of the pixar productions but its really good storytelling as well..and i think its the first pixar movie to like..have an emphasis on both robots and the entire human race which is pretty cool :) Character wise,what can i say..they are all just SO dang adorable(the robots i mean..the humans..er.i'll leave that to you) and c'mon..if they can make robots falling in love seem so believable,i think that alone deserves some credit :) The animations are top notch seriously..that's one thing abt pixar i really love(ok its very obvious im a pixar fan lol) besides their brilliant storytelling is their animation skills which are breathtaking. However,some people may find the film a lil draggy or boring at the beginning cause for the first few mins, there are literally no dialogue but I was somehow so absorbed by Wall E and Eve's(Eeeevaah!) cuteness i guess it didnt felt that way for me :P So, would i recommend the show? Yes. Go watch it. Because its definitely alot better than alot of other crappy shows out there these days haha.
Talking abt pixar..i just had a random idea of rating all the pixar movies. its fun!LOL. so here's my list in order of most to least favs:

Ratatouille
Finding Nemo
The Incredibles
Wall E
Toy Story
Monster Inc.
Toy Story 2
A Bug's Life
Cars

Wall E Rating : 8.75/10



Dreamgirls

HAha!Quite an old movie i know but i only watched it for the first time on Astro few days back.
I guess this show was mostly known for Jennifer Hudson's brilliant acting.yeah,after watching this film,I can certainly see why she won that best supporting actress oscar.she definitely can act.and sing too.haha.indeed,you dont have to win AI to win an oscar lol. Besides that,the rest of the cast did a great job..abit..rare to see Eddie Murphy acting a serious role though LOL. but anyway,i love the songs from this film!Especially 'Listen' by beyonce.The character development was pretty good and its not one of those shows where i'll say i've wasted 2 hrs of my life on haha. But for me,the main star of the movie was definitely jennifer hudson. Overall, nice movie.

Rating: 7.5/10


The Other Boleyn Girl


I briefly heard abt this movie some time ago and while at my uncle's place the other day, he had this dvd so I thought of giving it a try. I have a soft spot for period dramas anyway i dont know why haha. Anyway,this movie's based on Phillipa Gregory's best selling novel abt two sisters, Anne and Mary Boleyn and their relationship with King Henry. Anne Boleyn in real life was the mother of the famous Queen Elizabeth I of England. After some researching on IMDB, i found out that the story is mostly fictional(the names of the characters are real) and the real history of the 3 main characters and other characters are very different than what was potrayed in the film. However, I did enjoy the film.It got pretty low ratings at imdb and alot people didnt like it cause of the film's inaccuracy,rushed storyline,etc but yeah,i enjoyed it. I think i just really enjoy period films..lol.i love the costumes and their tradition and stuff and I enjoy learning or getting to know the history of royal families like that of the characters in this film..now,THIS is the kind of history that really interests me..not those i learn from my secondary school textbook.cough. anywayy, maybe im bias but well..the acting was decent and although some may say the storyline is very rushed i guess i didnt notice it cos perhaps i would prefer it to be a little quick rather than the scenes dragging on forever(good example:me and jac fell asleep watching Elizabeth:The Golden Age) but then the character development part would have to be sacrificed i guess.So perhaps viewers won't feel as much for the characters. I think generally girls will enjoy this movie more haha. But overall, enjoyable movie.Not a masterpiece but enjoyable on an entertainment level.


Rating: 7/10
