A bunch of Pirate searching the fountain of youth, a haunted house and a comatozed kid, a killer? who is a writer and a HeartBreaker?





Pirates of the Caribbean is the hottest tickets in last week’s movie time, got a glimpse of the movie in a premiere show. Great effects, tone far down on the special effects grandeur compare with the last 2 sequels. Appreciate the humor and slower pace of the movie. The action is clearer. All in all it is a humorous entertaining piece, better with the storyline, but weaker on the effects.

I’m sure that it’s another hit for the month.

But for my appetite, one movie is always just an appetizer. So we move on to a horror movie. Insidious. Great to see Patrick Wilson at work again. I think he is probably one of the most underrated actors out there these days. His acting is fascinating. Anyway, back to the movie. A family move into a new home, after a while when their younger son fall into a coma. Then they realize the house is haunted. Then again they have no choice but to move, only to find out that the one haunted is not the house , but it’s their son…… so how do you un haunt a child?! Not totally scary but, interesting enough exciting. So have a see for those who like to be scare without all the gore.

It’s French movies week here, so when I got some spare time in my hand, I bought 2 ticks. Oh someone wonder why I watch so many movies? In these small South East Asia country called Malaysia, they show most shows about the same time or earlier than the America and the price is often less than 5 USD per show. Add in my lunch and 3 movies I’m still only used maybe 20 bucks max per day, so u figure.

Back to the French show. First is the usual suspect in French movie. Something that “looks” as tasty and complicated yet fascinating as the making of a French cuisine. Roman De Gare (Cross Tracks), it is the typical French styled movie that usually broken every detail into separate parts that create an artsy and suspenseful story telling. First there’s the news of escaping Killer in the radio, with a middle aged man driving a car crossing the country. Then the girl comes along dump by her fiancé. Then they met. But what’s it gotta do with a murder, a fame writer with a ghost writer? And how the whole situation interwoven into one story? Someone is kill. Who is the killer? Does the fame writer truly write her own story? Does the strangers actually gonna be happy together? It’s is a suspenseful entertaining humor as only the French can put out.

L'arnacoeur (HeartBreaker) is not exactly the all French movie. The actor and actresses are French. Yet the production is international. It’s not as ground root in French story telling. It’s more commercialize. Yet still, it is a romance comedy better than what most American is churning out lately. U just have to love the French humor on life really. Everything just have to be extravagance. Almost it’s like the late forgotten Hollywood have. The natural humor, not forced at all. Well, the story star the beautiful Vanessa Paradis that alone would take your breath away. So a brother and sister are in the business of breaking unmatched couple apart. But when the situation forces the situation, how do they break their principle and breakup a seemingly perfect couple?
