MOVIE RECOMMENDATION : 10,000 B.C. (English)
Category : Action, Adventure / Starring : Steven Straits, Camilla Belle, Marco Khanlian, Cliff Curtis
I was definitely looking forward for this movie and it was great that it did not disappoint me. The scale of the movie was grand, and I liked it. Underlying all the stunts, saber-tooth tigers, prehistoric predators, wolly mammoths, is a love story, of a young hunter D'Leh, who leads his tribe to track down the warlords who kidnapped his lover, Evolet.
Steven Strait and Camilla Belle, what a beautiful couple to watch. Their chemistry in the movie was great, Camilla's blue eyes were captivating, and Steven definitely pulled it off being the courageous hero in this movie. Here's a clip of an interview done with both of them:-

MOVIE RECOMMENDATION : VANTAGE POINT (English)
Category : Drama, Thriller / Starring : Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox, Forest Whitaker, William Hurt, Sigourney Weaver, Shelby Fenner, Edgar Ramirez
I did not initially intend to watch this movie, thinking it was another cop-crook action movie. And I was dead wrong! Thanks to a friend who went for it and told this to me "It's different, it's a story told in 8 different perspectives, and the different stories all come to one at the end". When I heard that, I knew I had to watch it, and yes luckily I did not miss this movie.
And how can I sum up this movie, well what my friend said says it all. The plot seemed simple, US president gets assisinated while giving a speech in Spain, chaos ensues and different lives (of the main casts) collides. What entails is the stories told in each of their perspectives, each slowly peeling deeper into unveiling the killer's identity, and at the same revealing more twists which keep the viewers guessing.
What I also like about this movie besides the impressive ensemble cast, is that its takes us into different journeys of the main casts, each making us feel for their emotions, their parts of the story, their reasons for their actions, and at the same time teasing us with some suspicion as to who is the actual killer. With a huge twist at the end, coupled with great action stunts, this movie is definitely worth watching. Don't miss it!

MOVIE RECOMMENDATION - 2 DAYS IN PARIS (English, French)
Category : Foreign/Art, Comedy / Starring : Julie Delpy, Adam Goldberg, Albert Delpy & Marie Pillet
Last week I discovered another what I would rank as one of my favourite movies ever. We planned to catch Vantage Point but ended up watching this Foreign/Art movie, and we didn't regret at all. 2 Days In Paris is very close at heart for actress JULIE DELPY, as she wrote & directed the movie, and starred alongside both her real-life parents! For fans of Julie's previous movies Before Sunrise and its sequel Before Sunset (stars Julie and Ethan Hawke) like myself, this is a definitely must see for you.
Plot is simple (as with most Foreign/Art movies), revolves around this couple of French photographer Marion (Julie) and American hubby Jack (Adam) making a stop for 2 days at Marion's hometown in Paris, after their holidays at Venice. The 2 days witness many witty, comical and thought-provoking conversations between the couple, questioning relationship issues like sex, fidelity & cultural differences. The movie is also full of hillarious moments as we see neurotic Jack's awkward encounters with Marion's overbearing parents (who speak virtually no English) and her set of mysterious ex-boyfriends (who suspiciously still want to get under Marion's skirt). You'll get to see various sceneries in Paris as well. Their short stop at Paris ends up testing their relationship, questioning both of them whether they are the right soul-mate for each other.
Love it! I was previously amazed with Before Sunrise, with similar approach, full of interesting conversations over a set of alluring sceneries at Vienna. JULIE DELPY definitely lived up to her reputation for yet another entertaining Foreign/Art movie this time.
It's a must see if:
- You simply loved Before Sunrise or its sequel Before Sunset
- You appreciate Foreign/Art movies with loads of provoking/witty conversations
- You like movies that explores relationship/marriage/fidelity issues
