Movies to watch out for March and April in Spore

I won't introduce those blockbusters, commercial or comedies that most of you will be likely to know and see. I will introduce some indie and smaller projects that I heard will be good. Stay tune.

March

The Orphanage
A spanish horror film produced by Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pans Labyrinth). About A woman who brings her family back to her childhood home, where she opens an orphanage for handicapped children. Before long, her son starts to communicate with an invisible new friend. This movie had already won several awards in its country including Best Picture.

The Bucket List
A small little film starring two of the best actors ever, Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. The story is about 2 terminally ill men escape from a cancer ward and head off on a road trip with a wish list of to-dos before they kick the bucket (die).

April

Definely Maybe
This is one interesting movie I can't wait to see, starring Ryan Reynolds as WIll Hayes, a 30-something dad in the midst of a divorce when his 10-year-old daughter, Maya (Abigail Breslin), starts to question him about his life before marriage. Maya wants to know absolutely everything about how her parents met and fell in love. Will then tell 3 different stories of his past 3 relationship and let Maya guess which is her mum. Is her mother Will's college sweetheart, Emily (Elizabeth Banks) ,longtime best friend and confidante, the apolitical April (Isla Fisher) or the free-spirited but ambitious journalist Summer (Rachel Weisz)? And as Will tells her his tale, Maya helps him to understand that it's definitely never too late to go back...and maybe even possible to find a happy ending.

Funny Games
This is a cruel sadistic movie about a middle-class housewife Anna telling the story of how she and her husband George and their 10-year-old son Georgie submitted both physically and mentally to the torture, violence, and death foisted upon them by two young, unexpected, white-gloved visitors at their weekend vacation retreat near a lake. I had goosebumps even after watching the trailer imagining how disturbing this movie could be.
