Starting a monthly movie dump. :)
When In Rome
Watched this with Sha, Sammie, Fyra and Joe.
The basic premise is that a workaholic girl scoops up some coins from that wishing fountain place (can't remember the name sorry) where people wish for love and ends up being hounded by a pack of males who have suddenly fallen in love with her. She has to decide whether or not the one she really loves is reciprocating because of his coin in the fountain or genuine love for her.
Overall, I have to say that it was very bleh.
Plot was mildly entertaining but so many things were rushed through. Subplots and the like. Also, some stuff was just so unnecesary and it was obvious they were setting things up for cheap laughs. The beginning of the movie made me cringe with shame - the editting needs a lot of work, they kept cutting away at strange moments and the extras' acting left much to be desired. The only thing I liked about the whole thing was watching Josh Duhamel (he's nice to look at) make a klutz of himself. It helps that Kirsten Bell is nice to watch too, but her character was so bland. Couldn't connect with her, and I hate her friends. I want to slap them all. Haha.
Watch it if you're bored. Really really bored and there's nothing else to watch or do.

Kick-AssWatched this with Nad, Hannah and Aidil.
Superhero parody with a twist. Dave is your average, nerdy highschool boy with a comic book obsession. He decides to don a costume ... well, just because he can. After he's filmed during a fight with a bunch of thugs and his name is spread across the Interwebs, his fame skyrockets and some other 'heroes' start to sprout up, and that's when the plot starts to hit rollercoaster.
This movie. Is violent. Very violent.
I was a wuss and watched most of it from behind my fingers.
I enjoyed this one mostly because it's so deliciously badass. Dave is adorable and naive, running through the night with his sticks and hitting people, hoping they will behave. Of course, he soon gets himself into deep trouble, getting caught up with the mafia and a few vengeful vigilantes. Helps that he's pretty. The acting was fun, from Dave to the mindblowing Hitgirl (she will blow your mind. And make parents faint.). The action sequences are insane, and towards the end you'll have to suspend disbelief a little. The comedy is dark in some points, slapstick in others. There're some nice comic cliche references that made me smile.
Watch if you don't mind the gore. And if you're particularly fond of superhero movies. :)
How to Train Your DragonWatched this with Nad.
I walked into this one without that much on the expectation side. I'd seen lots of positive response around Deviantart, so I thought I'd give it a shot. In a land of Vikings (Berk) Hiccup is the odd one out, stringy and unathletic. Basically, not much of a Viking. He dreams of killing a dragon and impressing his father. Instead, he ends up friends with one (Toothless).
What can I say? I love this movie. I lovelovelovelovelove it.
Sounds like your typical kid's movie right? Yeah it sure does. But it isn't all that typical. You have to watch it to understand ... everything is so gorgeous, the animation, the SOUNDTRACK (swoons) , the ENDING. I teared up at the end. Toothless is the most adorable dragon I've ever seen in my life, he reminds me of Zed. Yes, Zed the kitten. Half the time I was squeaking to myself and wanting to give the thing a huge hug. The only thing I didn't like about the movie was how all the younger generation Vikings had American accents while their parents were sporting Scottish. What's up with that? Is acquiring a Scottish accent part of becoming an adult or something? Argh accent fail.
Watch it. Just watch it. Then download the soundtrack. And listen to it on repeat. Ahhh.
