Some new movies and cool posters to look out for

Here are some up and coming movies that I feel will be good and recommend you guys to look out for it. (click on image to enlarge)

RockNRolla - Directed by GUy Ritchie directed of cult favourites Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two smoking barrels, who haven made a single good movie for the last 8 years since marrying Madonna. This might turn out to be his golden ticket to save his career. Starring Gerald Butler of 300, Thandie Newton of Crash, Jeremy Piven and Ton Wilkinson.


Vicky Cristina Barcelona - Woody Allen new movie starring the always great Javier Bardem, my top 2 favourite girl Scarlet Joahansson and the hottest Latino Penelope Cruz. Already receiving rave reviews will this be the next comeback for Woody after a few flops of last 2 years, we will watch out.


The Spirit - Another new poster of the new movie director by Sin City creator, Frank Miller.


Terminator - Salvation - One of my all time favourite Sci-fi movie, this time starring Christian Bale, one of the actor I feel is one of the best of his generation a;ways choosing great and interesting roles. One downside of this movie is it is directed by McG, the director of the Charlie Angels sequels. Will this turn out to be good?


W - A very funny poster of the biopic of US President George W. Bush, director by Oliver Stone director of previous US Presidents biopics like JFK and Nixon.


The Brothers Bloom - This is one movie that I think will be really good, an amazing cast starring Adrien Brody, Rachel Weisz, the underrated Mark Rufflalo and Babel turnout star Rinko Kinkuchi. Directed by the director of indie flick Brick, Rian Johnson, Adrien and Mark played the Brothers Bloom, the best con men in the world, swindling millionaires with complex scenarios of lust and intrigue. Now they've decided to take on one last job - showing a beautiful and eccentric heiress the time of her life with a romantic adventure that takes them around the world.


Burn After Reading - A rare comedy by the Coen Brothers, director of Fargo and fresh Oscar winner No Country For Old Men, starring another brilliant cast consisting of Georges Clooney, Frances MCdormand, Brad Pitt, John Malkovich and Tilda Swinton.


Humboldt County - An indie comedy flick about a disillusioned medical student being stranded for a summer in a remote community of counterculture pot farmers, the last place in the world he imagined he would discover himself.

Recents movies i watch (recent movies/dvds) ratings

Dark Knight - 4.25/5 Stars
Performance of a lifetime by Heath Ledger who overshadow EVERYONE inside this flick which means alot consider the amazing cast (Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman. Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhall, Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckart). Some of the most amazing car chases scenes especially the one with the long oil tank truck?? Brillant.

Hellboy 2 - The Golden Army 3.5/5 stars
I somehow like the simpler, lower budget first Hellboy. You could see where all the money is spend in this CGI heavy flick. But sometime too much money might not do too good too a genius like Guillermo Del Toro whose must better flick are all low budget movies like Pans Labyrinth. But his vision and creativity is still astonishing as you can see in all the creatures in the movie.

Hancock - 3.25/5 stars
Alot of my friends dislike this but i thought it was pretty okay. Firstly I think of the idea and concept was original, who had ever thought of the aftermath of what a superhero have cause after saving the citizens from the villians like those crash railways, collasped buildings and no. of casualties died because of this. And the twist is pretty cool too. You got me there.

Wanted - 3/5 stars
Overstylish, lack of story substance, but Angelina is kickass in here.

Red Cliff - 3.5/5 stars
Could be a much better if the CG is more realistic, and some of the actors seems to be miscast because of the accent (might be because of the dubbing), looks and performance like Tony Leung(especially), Chang Chen, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Lin Chiling and that Japanese guy who keep trying to scare audience with his angry face. They just don't talk and behave like people during the era. But the battle scenes are realistic and I am looking forward to the 2nd part of this biggest budget chinese movie ever.

The Bank Job 3.5/5 stars
A pretty good old school gang robbery British flick starring Jason Statham which kinds of remind me of a less cooler and stylish Lock Stock and Two smoking Barrels.

Charlie Wilson War - 3.25/5 stars
Emily Blunt was really hot in her 2 scenes less then 3 mins performance, and this story seems really short and somehow dosen't seem completed to me.

Grace is Gone - 3.5/5 stars
I think this is really a good example of a low budget movie that won the audience through brilliant acting by the cast. I think 80 percent of the budget is one the cast, 1 percent on rental of the car which 40 percent of the movie happens inside ,2 percent on promoting it (as no much promoting was done, its all through word of mouth) and the rest for the crew. A very different movie from the recent craze of movies cause by the American involving in the Iraq war.

I'm Not There - 3.5/5 stars

Penelope - 3/5 stars

Walk Hard 0 The Dewey Cox Story - 3.75/5 stars

National Treasure 2 - 2.75/5 stars

Alvin and the Chipmunks - 2.5/5 stars
