Today’s the last day of my Christmas Break (. And before my break is officially over, I want to share these movies that I have watched. That’s right, I traded these movies for lots of anime episodes but I don’t feel bad about it because I wanted to try something different… and I want something not 2D for a while…

I will not include the local films that I have seen. (Shake, Rattle and Roll 10 and Ang Tanging Ina)

Juno (2007)

This one’s recommended to me by a friend. I was looking for comedy and she said that it is comedy. But it turned out that Juno is not really the hardcore comedy that I was talking about but guess what, I really liked it. I love the story and I love the characters. I love the twist of accidental-teenage-pregnancy and romance.

I’m not sure if everyone will like it. To tell you, my tastes are kinda different from normal. I may find this interesting but majority says it’s boring. Rated PG-13 for mature thematic material, sexual content and language.

9.5/10 for Juno.

Superbad (2007)

This is the second movie that I watched. And this time, I searched for a comedy myself instead of asking my friends. If you will notice, the third guy here is the main guy on Juno. That’s completely coincidental. Ha ha.

Superbad is a story of this two best buddies (the 2nd and 3rd guy). They’re graduating high school and they’re going to different universities. Before they graduate, they will try to do something cool – something bad. Ha ha ha. I like this too.

7.5/10 for Superbad.

Knocked Up (2007)

This is the 3rd movie and coincidentally (again), it’s a story of unwanted pregnancy. The poster says it all:

From Judy Apatow | Comes a comedy about a one night stand | That became something more.

Not bad, really. I’ll give it an 8/10.

Prom Night (2008)

It’s time to switch genre. This one’s suspense. I don’t want to say something about this movie. It’s best if you watch a suspense movie without knowing anything about it. With that, you can experience the full excitement the movie is offering you.

8.5/10 for Prom Night. ^^

College (2008)

The poster says it all. It’s a story about boring graduating high school kids who wants to experience college. So they went to the college and stayed at a Fraternity house… how fun would that be?

On every forum about this movie that I went to, they say that the movie sucks like hell. Well, personally, it’s cool. I think that this movie targets teenage boys. So if you’re not one, I guess you’ll hate this.

8/10 for College.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

That’s right. This is a comedy of getting dumped(after five years of relationship, how bad could that be?). What will the guy do to forget about her cheater ex-girlfriend? Be wary of full frontal exposure. Ha ha.

I actually like this one. Deserves a 9/10.

The Golden Compass (2007)

I only watched this because I have finished the book written by Philip Pullman. Aside from proper narration, everything is great and outstanding – the cast, the characters, the animation, the settings… everything is perfect. I think that the exposition of the story sucks. If I will ask somebody who have seen the movie about Dust, I bet he’ll say “what is that Dust? Did the movie mentioned that?” And the daemons, they are not properly introduced. Chris Weitz, please, be better, ok?

7.8/10 for this book-to-movie adaptation.

How sad… Christmas Break is over. I honestly don’t miss anything from that university. T_T
