Quick reviews

Some short reviews of recent movies i watch on DVDs recently. (all movies of 2007)

Reign Over Me - 3.5/5 stars
Alot of people thought Adam Sandler is just a comedian, never realising that he can actually act, but his dramatic roles are seldom seem by people. Movies like Punch Drunk Love, Spanglish, and Click makes him one of my favourite actors. This movie is his another attempt at drama. It is one of the few films in the past few years that actually make me tear, really moving movie about Post 911 about how a widow guy handled the loss of his wife and children who was victims of the crash.

Planet Terror - 4.25/5 stars
Kickass time again. One half of the supposed 2 movies for the price of 1, Grindhouse. This is the better half to the other part directed by Tarantino, Death Proof. The gore and comedy really tickles me throughtout this film. Great attempt of a movie paying homage to the 70s Grindhouse drive in movies.

Evan Almighty - 2.75/5 stars
Although this comedy never makes me even smile at all the whole movie, it is truly amazing seeing the effects and one of those movies that must have cost alot of time and money to make. But not one I would recommend.

Surf Up - 3/5 stars
Pretty different concept of a animation using the idea of penguin reality show to tell the whole story. Not a bad movie to watch with the kids, and the penguins are sort of cool.
