MY SASSY GIRL

As the film opens we are introduced to Kyun-woo, a kind-hearted but at times naive college student who seems to keep getting into trouble. On his way home one night he encounters a beautiful but completely smashed young woman who causes a scene in the subway, calls him "honey", and then passes out. With the eyes of the other subway passengers upon him, he has little choice but to take responsibility for her. Thus begins his relationship with the at-times charming, at-times violent damsel who steals his heart.
Much of the film is structured around the bizarre antics of Kyun-woo's newfound girlfriend. After she passes out yet again, Kyun-woo looks at her blissful face and promises to himself that he will save her, and right whatever it is that troubles her. This proves to be much more of a challenge than he expects.

---> this is the first Korean movie i have seen and it really didn't disappoint me a bit. i think this is the Korean movie that started all the great love stories in the Korean film industry and i guess it is the most famous one. this is certainly a splendid movie from the story itself and the performance of the characters and the humor it portrayed. i loved like every single detail about it. its a very touching film as to how the guy struggled with the girl's attitude. she's a person that shows love in a very different way not to mention in a very rude way. she always make the guy suffer physically but still the guy never left. it really showed how great his love is for the girl. i love the time capsule part, the story of the tree, and especially the ending. its a movie that would make you laugh, and cry mostly as it really touches your heart. its a strange kind of love story but definitely a love that is true.

::: LINES :::

GIRL: What do you want to order?
GUY: Cherry Jubilee... wait... I'll have Mango Tango... or Shooting Star... Jamonka Almond sounds good too... Okay, I'll just have Love Me.
GIRL: Wanna die? Drink coffee!

GUY: The 10 Rules: 1. Don't ask her to be feminine 2. Don't let her drink over three glasses 3. Drink coffee instead of Coke/Juice 4. If she hits you, act like it hurts. If it hurts, act like it doesn't 5. On your 100th day together, give her a rose during her class 6. Make sure you learn fencing and squash 7. Be prepared to go to prison sometimes 8. If she says she'll kill you, don't take it lightly 9. If her feet hurt, exchange shoes with her 10. She likes to write. Encourage her.

so many more lines i wanted but i couldn't find any. . guess, ill just update if i do find more

A CINDERELLA STORY

Cute but geeky high-school student Samantha Martin (Hilary Duff) is knocked off her feet by her father's untimely death, which leaves his diner and Samantha's well-being in the care of Fiona (Jennifer Coolidge), Sam's thoroughly wicked stepmother. Not one to take on such menial tasks as dishwashing and mopping floors, Fiona exploits Sam's dependence as a method of hoisting any dirty work off her own shoulders. School is hardly a break for Samantha, particularly when Shelby (Julie Gonzalo) is around; spoiled, wealthy, and popular, Shelby treats Samantha nearly as badly as Fiona does. Samantha's life is irrevocably changed, however, by two events: a makeover of epic proportions and a sudden electronic correspondence with a mysterious young man. Due to a misplaced cell phone and a series of fateful coincidences, Samantha and her Prince Charming develop a romance through text messages and e-mails, and ultimately promise to meet face-to-face at the biggest school dance of the year. Of course, getting there doesn't go smoothly, and Samantha may miss her chance to meet her dream date -- none other than Austin (Chad Michael Murray), the most popular boy in school.

---> yes, another fairy tale like movie. and yes i love them. its like a boy meets girl thing and the rest is history. of course, there's a lot of struggle in between but certainly leads to your one and only dream: your happily ever after. this movie is really like the typical Cinderella story having a wicked stepmom, two evil stepsisters and of course the handsome prince charming. its a good movie if you like this type of story like me. its also funny especially having the 2 stepsisters in it cause they are so dumb. but mostly, its a movie that makes you feel in love and makes you wanna love more. a movie that feels like cupid hitting your heart with an arrow. (painful at the beginning but definitely a happy ending).

::: LINES :::

AUSTIN:
Sam! Okay, I know you think I'm just some...
SAM: Coward? Phony?
AUSTIN: Okay, just listen.
SAM: No, you listen. You turned out to be exactly who I thought you were. I never pretended to be somebody else. It's been me all along. And it was me who was hurt in front of everybody. Look, I didn't come here to yell at you, okay? I know what it feels like to be afraid to show who you are. I was. But not anymore. And the thing is, I don't care what people think about me... because I believe in myself. And I know that things are gonna be okay. But even though I have no family, and no job, and no money for college... it's you that I feel sorry for.
DAVID: Heads up! Yo, five minutes.
AUSTIN: I'm coming!
SAM: I know that guy that sent those emails is somewhere inside of you, but, I can't wait for him... because waiting for you is like waiting for rain in this drought. Useless and disappointing.

AUSTIN: [after Brianna and Gabriella both tell him that they're his mystery girl] Ladies, ladies, I can solve this very easily. The girl I'm looking for lost something. What was it?
GABRIELLA: Oh that's easy! A wallet!

[Austin gives her a weird look]
GABRIELLA: I mean a purse... um... a wallet-purse.
AUSTIN: : [succinctly] No.
BRIANNA: Ooh, I know! A fish!


AUSTIN: I can be surrounded by a sea of people and still feel all alone... Then I think of you.

SAM: I'm late
AUSTIN: For what?
SAM: Reality.

E N C H A N T E D

Classic Disney animation meets contemporary urban chaos when a frightened princess is banished from her magical animated homeland to modern-day New York City in a romantic comedy penned by Bill Kelly (Blast from the Past), directed by Kevin Lima (Tarzan), and featuring music by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Stephen Schwartz. Princess Giselle (Amy Adams) lives in the blissful cartoon world of Andalasia, where magical beings frolic freely and musical interludes punctuate every interaction. Though Princess Giselle is currently engaged to be married to the handsome Prince Edward (James Marsden), her fate takes a turn for the worse when the villainous Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon) banishes her to the unforgiving metropolis of New York City. As the cruelty of the big city soon begins to wear down the fairy-tale exterior of the once carefree princess, the frightened Giselle soon finds herself falling for a friendly but flawed divorce lawyer (Patrick Dempsey) whose kind compassion has helped her to survive in this strange and dangerous new world.

---> this is a one sure hilarious movie that everybody would love to watch. it has cartoon characters in it coming to real life. can you imagine that happening in our own world? it would really be chaotic and for sure weird. but erase those thoughts cause watching this movie would make you smile. well, for me that is. i loved the impact of the movie to me. of how after watching it made me forget my problems. it makes you wanna be like the ever innocent Giselle who is like a child who doesn't know much about life. well maybe just for a moment, to have that short period of time to escape from this cruel and problematic world. its a worth watching movie, it's funny and who wouldn't want an hour and 48 minutes of a happy ending fairy tale. plus, the soundtracks are good too.

::: LINES :::

GISELLE: Is that the only word you know? "No?"
ROBERT: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I mean, No!
GISELLE:"No! No! No!" Over and over! When you keep saying "No!" it just makes me so... Sometimes you make me so!... angry.
[laughs really hard]

GISELLE:[after leaving the shower] Good morning, Robert. I hope you had wonderful dreams.
ROBERT: I think I'm still in one.

GISELLE:Now if only I can find a place to rest my head for the night.
ROBERT: What kind of place?
GISELLE:I don't know. Maybe a nearby meadow or a hollow tree.
ROBERT: A hollow tree?
GISELLE:Or a house full of dwarves. I hear they're very hospitable.

[an angry midget runs under Giselle's dress]
GRUMPY: Hey! Watch it, will ya?
GISELLE:Grumpy!
GRUMPY: Geez, lady! Are you for real?
GISELLE:I-I think so.

GISELLE:Nobody has been very nice to me.
ROBERT: Yeah, well, welcome to New York.
GISELLE: Thank you.

ROBERT: Oh my.
GISELLE: Oh my. He's here!
ROBERT: Apparently.
GISELLE: Oh my. Oh my goodness. How do I look?
ROBERT: Slightly stunned.
GISELLE: No, I mean, how do I look? [mean her appearance]
ROBERT: You look... beautiful.

[talking about Giselle]
SAM: She has no driver's license, no passport, I can't even find this place she comes from.
ROBERT: What place?
SAM: Andalusia.
ROBERT: Andalasia.
SAM: Whatever. I've called every travel agent. I'm not sure if it's a country or a city.
ROBERT: It can't be a state.
[Both watch Giselle acting strangely]
SAM: More like a state of mind. She told me it's just beyond the meadows of joy and the valley of contentment. What is that all about?

A WALK TO REMEMBER

In Beaufort, North Carolina, a prank on a student goes terribly wrong and puts the student in the hospital. Landon Carter, a popular student with no defined plans for the future, is held responsible and forced to participate in after-school community service activities as punishment, which include starring as the lead in the school play. Also participating in these activities is Jamie Sullivan, the reverend's daughter who has great ambitions and nothing in common with Landon. When Landon decides he wants to take his activities seriously, he asks Jamie for help and begins to spend most of his time with her. But he starts to develop strong feelings for her, something he did not expect to do. The two start a relationship, much to the chagrin of Landon's old popular friends and Jamie's strict reverend father. But when a heart-breaking secret becomes known that puts their relationship to the test, it is then that Landon and Jamie realize the true meaning of love and fate.

---> its a very touching film as to how a couple who are worlds apart fell in love. many are not happy with their relationship but still they managed to survive despite this complexity. they have learned a lot from each other most importantly of which is that love is not selfish. i think the climax of the story is when Landon starts to fall in love with Jamie but discovers that she has a life threatening illness. from then on, the story became more dramatic, full of emotions but showed a very powerful picture of what true love is. and i guess everybody wants that so this film is a sure win to people who are inlove and to those people who are still looking for that kind of love.

::: LINES :::

JAMIE: You know what I figured out today?
LANDON: What?
JAMIE:Maybe God has a bigger plan for me than I had for myself. Like this journey never ends. Like you were sent to me because I'm sick. To help me through all this. You're my angel

JAMIE:You’re acting like a crazy person, what's going on?
LANDON: Right now, you're straddling the state line.
JAMIE:OK...
LANDON: You're in two places at once.

LANDON: I'm sorry she never got her miracle.
REVEREND SULLIVAN: She did. It was you.

LANDON: Jamie... I love you. [long pause]
LANDON: Now would be the time to say something.
JAMIE:I told you not to fall in love with me.

LANDON: Do you love me? [she nods]
LANDON: Will you do something for me, then?
JAMIE: [smiles] Anything.
LANDON: Will you marry me?
[Jamie smiles and kisses him]

JAMIE: I'm sick.
LANDON: I'll take you home. You'll be be...
JAMIE: No. Landon! I'm sick. I have Leukemia.
LANDON: No. You're 18. You - you're perfect.
JAMIE: No. I found out two years ago and I've stopped responding to treatments.
LANDON: So why didn't you tell me?
JAMIE: The doctor said I should go on and live life normally as best I could. I - I didn't want anybody to be weird around me.
LANDON: Including me?
JAMIE: Especially you! [Jamie looks down] [Landon gets upset]
JAMIE: Ya know, I was getting along with everything fine. I accepted it, and then you happened! I do not need a reason to be angry with God.

LANDON: So, what's your number one?
JAMIE:To marry in the church my mother grew up. It's where my parents were married.

JAMIE: You don't know the first thing about being someone's friend.
LANDON: I don't want to just be your friend.
JAMIE: You don't know what you want.
LANDON: Neither do you. Maybe you're just too scared that someone might actually want to be with you.
JAMIE: And why would that scare me?
LANDON: Because then you wouldn't be able to hide behind your books, or your frickin' telescope, or your faith. No, no, you know the real reason why you're scared? It's cause you wanna be with me too.

S T E P M O M

Anna and Ben, the two children of Jackie and Luke, have to cope with the fact that their parents divorced and that there is a new woman in their father's life: Isabel, a successful photographer. She does her best to treat the kids in a way that makes them still feel at home when being with their dad, but also loves her work and does not plan to give it up. But Jackie, a full-time mother, regards Isabel's efforts as offensively insufficient. She can't understand that work can be important to her as well as the kids. The conflict between them is deepened by the sudden diagnose of cancer, which might may be deadly for Jackie. They all have to learn a little in order to grow together.

---> this is totally a dramatic movie as two women struggle for their life. one, being the ever protective and loving mother who is also trying to survive from a fatal illness and the other as to be the stepmom who is so cheerful and energetic. its highly emotional as to how Julia tries to fit in and be a "mom" knowingly that she can never replace Susan. on the other hand for Susan, it's hard that soon she'll leave her kids not to mention to someone who has no experience in handling kids. its a movie that will really touch your hearts and end you up in tears. it has an excellent cast with two of the most sought actresses, great acting and story which brings a lot of lessons about life itself.

::: LINES :::

ISABEL: You know every story, every wound, every memory. Their whole life's happiness is wrapped up in you... every single second. Don't you get it? Look down the road to her wedding. I'm in a room alone with her, fixing her veil, fluffing her dress, telling her no woman has ever looked so beautiful. And my fear is she'll be thinking, "I wish my mom was here."
JACKIE HARRISON: And mine is... she won't.

BEN HARRISON: Mommy...
JACKIE HARRISON: What, sweetie?
BEN HARRISON: If you want me to hate her I will.

BEN HARRISON: [to Isabel] Will you sing me a song? My mom always sings to me when I get hurt.

ONE MORE CHANCE

Popoy (John Lloyd Cruz) and Basha (Bea Alonzo) have been together all their lives. Their love story started when they met as students in the university. Their families loved them, they shared friends, they eventually worked in the same firm and their life plans revolved around each other. There is no Popoy without a Basha and vice versa. They were certain that they will get married someday and build a home together. Everything seems perfect. At least that’s what Popoy thinks.But all the planning and dreaming eventually took a toll on Basha. Past issues and current controversies suddenly become the main fare in what would have been a routine lunch date. In their first major fight in over five years, Popoy and Basha begin their heart-rending struggle whether to hold on or to move on.

---> this is a Filipino movie and i would have to say that i am so proud of it. actually, i really love the team up of these two artists. their tandem is always great and the outcome of their movies is excellent. this movie is the best from all their other movies. this has reached another level of their acting careers. it was more of a matured love story. a story about major heartbreaks, moving on, taking risks and falling inlove all over again. this was a serious movie but also had funny parts in between. the acting was superb, you can really feel their emotions from being jealous, angry and heartbroken. all in all, the movie was outstanding.

----> you can go to this LINK for its trailer (it has lots of memorable quotes in it. ) it has also some of my favorite parts: the scene where popoy fetched basha cause it was raining hard only to find out his new girlfriend was in the car too; the time when popoy met basha's new officemate where he started a fight. and many many more. . . .

WIN A DATE WITH TAD HAMILTON

In "Win a Date With Tad Hamilton!," Kate Bosworth stars as Rosalee Futch, a grocery clerk living in rural West Virginia. But even a small-town girl can have big dreams, and Rosalee's is to someday ... somehow ... meet her big-screen idol Tad Hamilton (Duhamel). The "somehow" arrives in the form of a contest -- the grand prize: a date with Tad Hamilton -- and the "someday" is now. Rosalee wins, much to the chagrin of her best friend and co-worker Pete (Grace), who is deeply, hopelessly -- and secretly -- in love with Rosalee. The "Win a Date" contest was cooked up by Tad's agent, Richard Levy (Nathan Lane), and his manager, also named Richard Levy (Sean Hayes), to clean up Tad's bad-boy image. Someone should have told them to be careful what you wish for. When Tad meets Rosalee and gets a taste of what he's been missing in the "real world", he decides he wants seconds and moves to West Virginia, turning Rosalee's dream come true into a nightmare for Richard Levy,and, most of all, Pete.

---> this movie is really one of my favorites. its cute, romantic and funny as well. i like the best friend part who is so much inlove but who is so much afraid of admitting it. i dont know why but i kind of want a guy best friend in real life not necessarily the in love part. this film sure is a good chick-flick. it's hilarious as Pete tries to impress Rosalee as he competes with Tad Hamilton which is obviously impossible in a lot of ways. but of course, all these chick-flicks always end with happy endings. i love the "6 smiles" part. its really touching when you think about it, that someone knows you have this different smiles for different situations. it would just so mean he/she is so into you. all the actors did well, and are perfect for each of their roles especially Tad Hamilton. he has this great smile and body which is really perfect for his "matinee idol" part which is so intimidating for Pete.

::: LINES :::

PETE: Tad Hamilton is an actor. How do you know he's not acting with you?

TAD: Yeah, Pete told me if I ever hurt you; that he would tear me to pieces with his bare hands or with his rhetoric.
ROSALEE: Pete told you if you hurt me, he would tear you to pieces with his bare hands or with his rhetoric? That is so... adorable.

PETE: [to Tad] Like do you know she has six smiles? One when something really makes her laugh. One when she's making plans. One when she is laughing out of politeness. One when she is uncomfortable. One when she is making fun of herself. And one when... she's talking about her friends.

ROSALEE: You have five smiles Pete. One when you think someone's an idiot. One when you think someone's REALLY an idiot. One when you're singing to Barry White. One when you're getting all dressed up. And one when you're looking at me.

ANGELICA: Well is it love, big love, or great love?
PETE: What do you mean?
ANGELICA: Well, love you get over in two months, big love you get over in two years, and great love, well great love... changes your life. So which one is it?
[Pete laughs and takes a big gulp out of his drink]
ANGELICA: Oh my god, it's great love.
PETE: Yeah, that just great.

ANGELICA: Well you got to win her back.
PETE: Believe me I have tried everything.
ANGELICA: Well what did she say, when you told her you loved her?
PETE: Ok maybe not everything.
ANGELICA: How did she react, when you kissed her?
PETE: Ok, maybe only two things.

PETE: [kisses Rosie] I love you, Rosie. I *always* have. If I've been a jerk this last week, it's because I've been fighting - I've been fighting for you. I don't want to lose you to Tad Hamilton, or anyone else. You're the one.

PETE: I'm telling you, she is more of a treasure than you could possibly know. She is not just some wholesome, small town girl, some like, good for you breath of fresh air. Tad, she is a wonderful person with a huge heart. And the kind of beauty that a guy only sees once, you know? Once! So Tad, if there is even a chance that you could break her heart, please, just for her sake, walk away man.
TAD: I could never break Rosalee's heart, ok?
PETE: Good. Because if you do I swear to God I will tear you to pieces with my bare hands. Or vicious rhetoric.
TAD: You're a good guy Pete.
PETE: Well yes. Apparently not good enough.

ROSALEE: I can't go with you Tad, because you don't love me, you maybe want to love me. But I think what you love right now is the idea of me. You can't love someone for what they stand for or seem to be. You have to love them for their details, for the little things that are true of them and only them.

SHE'S THE MAN

Viola Johnson (Amanda Bynes) had her own good reasons for disguising herself as her twin brother Sebastian (James Kirk) and enrolling in his place at his new boarding school, Illyria Prep. She was counting on Sebastian being AWOL from school as he tried to break into the music scene in London. What she didn't count on was falling in love with her hot roommate, Duke (Channing Tatum), who in turn only has eyes for the beautiful Olivia (Laura Ramsey). Making matters worse, Olivia is starting to fall for Sebastian, who - for reasons Olivia couldn't begin to guess - appears to be the sensitive type of guy she'd always dreamed of meeting. If things weren't complicated enough, the real Sebastian has come back from London two days earlier than expected and arrives on campus having no clue that he's been replaced... by his own twin sister.

---> this movie never fails me everytime i watch it. it really makes me laugh even if i already know what will happen. amanda bynes has good romantic movies all the time. i think comedy is really her forte when it comes to acting. this movie maybe stupid in a sense that a girl is disguised as a boy but that same thing makes it simply brilliant. its really funny and i guess ill never get tired of watching and laughing over and over again.

:::: LINES ::::

VIOLA: So, what brings you here?
DUKE: Well, a few days ago I kissed this girl at a kissing booth. And now, I just can't seem to stop thinking about it.
VIOLA: Neither can she.
DUKE: Plus, I miss my roommate. I really liked him.
VIOLA: Well, he's right in here. [pointing to her heart]
VIOLA: Listen, I know I should have told you who I was, but I was afraid. I'm Sorry.
DUKE: Well, you know maybe if I had know you were a girl, we wouldn't have talked like we did, and got to know each other the same way. And that would've been a shame.
VIOLA: Just so you know, everything you told me when I was a guy, just made me like you so much more as a girl.
DUKE: Ok, but just from here on in, everything would just be a lot easier if you stayed a girl.

::: some funny lines/parts :::

DUKE: [Using one of Viola's tampons after getting into a fight with Justin at the carnival] Oh, yeah, I uh, borrowed one of your... yeah... and you're right, they really do work.
VIOLA: Oh my god you're hurt... [clears throat]
VIOLA: I mean, suck it up, be a man and rub some dirt on it
DUKE: Okay, I'll rub some dirt in it..

DUKE: Um, uh, ok, so, should I ask her out?
VIOLA: No. You don't want to freak her out; you've got to have a casual conversation first, hello?
[Duke looks away in frustration]
VIOLA: Why do I get the feeling you don't do this very often?
DUKE: Man, I just, I'm not really good at talking to girls.
VIOLA: Why? You're hot!
DUKE: What?
VIOLA: [clears throat] Ya know, you're an appealing guy- man- guy- guy man.

VIOLA: What does your heart tell you?
DUKE: What?
VIOLA: I mean... which one would you rather see NAKED ?

MONIQUE: Hey, what's that over there?
[points to her far left]
KIA: [follows Monique's finger]
PAUL: Kia, don't look.
KIA: [turns away]

THE HOLIDAY

Two beautiful women, Amanda Woods (Cameron Diaz) and Iris Simpkins (Kate Winslet) both find themselves at the end of failed relationships just before Christmas. Amanda decides to take a two week vacation and surfs the internet. She meets Iris online, and they agree to swap their homes for the holidays. Amanda lives in Los Angles and Iris lives in the countryside of Surrey, England. Even though they now have a change of scenery and want no contact with men, they are both still depressed and lonely. But things are about to change when Iris' brother Graham (Jude Law) drops by Iris' house and meets Amanda. On the other side of the world, Iris meets Miles (Jack Black) a film composer. Romance is in the air and sparks are about to fly.

---> it's a good Christmas movie. i mean Christmases are supposedly to make you happy and this movie sure does. hence, it would be a good movie for all ages. it has two sides: cameron's and kate's; both living in different worlds but has the same experience in relationships. thus, wanting to get away and try to find themselves and be happy by switching homes for a period of time (seems unusual as to that scenario but i guess that is common in the USA.) its challenging as to being exposed to a new environment but definitely a good way to start anew.

:::: LINES ::::

ARTHUR ABBOTT: Iris, in the movies we have leading ladies and we have the best friend. You, I can tell, are a leading lady, but for some reason you are behaving like the best friend.

IRIS: You're so right. You're supposed to be the leading lady of your own life, for god's sake! Arthur, I've been going to a therapist for three years, and she's never explained things to me that well. That was brilliant. Brutal, but brilliant.
(---> our lives' outcomes are totally dependable on how we see ourselves, how we act towards others and how we deal with things each and every day.)

D I S T U R B I A

While stuck at home serving a three-month house arrest sentence, teenager Kale Brecht (Shia LaBeouf) takes to relieving his boredom by spying on his neighbors, including Ashley Carlson (Sarah Roemer), the new girl next door. After hearing news of the unsolved disappearances of several young women, Kale becomes convinced that neighbor Bob Turner (David Morse), who keeps strange hours and always seems to be dragging large, heavy bags of trash into his garage, is responsible for the crimes. Kale attempts to warn his mother, Julie (Carrie-Anne Moss), about Turner, but she refuses to listen. With nowhere else to turn, Kale enlists the aid of Ashley and best friend Ronnie (Aaron Yoo) and attempts to catch Turner in the act.


---> i actually just watched this film because of the main character (Shia LaBeouf), i like him and i think all his movies are great. he really portrays his roles very well and he is even teamed up with excellent actors/actresses in the film industry. anyways, the movie was great since it has this suspense thriller thing going. it also makes your heart pound as he watches from his binoculars as he tries to solve the mystery of his neighbor who he thinks is a killer. the story was interesting as to how a house arrest teenager got involved in a mystery and in the end even proved himself to the public that he is NOT a DISTURBED guy.



::::: L I N E S ::::::


KALE: I... I've seen a lot. I mean, not like that. I mean...


KALE: For instance, I've seen that you're maybe one of, I don't know, three people in the world that likes pizza flavored chips. You're also the only person I've ever seen that spends more time on the roof of her house than in her actual house. And what you do when you're reading... books, ya know, not... not US weekly or Seventeen or ya know? But you're reading substantial books.


ASHLEY: That's either the creepiest... or the sweetest thing I have ever heard.

DEFINITELY MAYBE

From the makers of Notting Hill and Love Actually comes the charming and irresistibly funny romantic comedy Definitely, Maybe. When Will (Ryan Reynolds) decided to tell his daughter (Abigail Breslin) the story of how he met her mother, he discovers that a second look at the past might also give him a second chance at the future. Co-starring Elizabeth Banks, Rachel Weisz and Isla Fisher, it's the heartwarming story that makes you realize it's definitely never too late to go back....and maybe find a happy ending.

---> It’s mainly about the curiosity of a child as to how her parents met, letting her father tell almost everything. The daughter here portrayed a good role; she's funny in how she acts so mature when she's only like 12 years old. She acts like she’s the adult one trying to find her father’s true love. It’s a good father-daughter film in how they can bond in some odd way.

:::::::L I N E S :::::::

Will Hayes: Just shut up! Here - I wanna marry you because you're the first person I wanna look at when I wake up in the morning, and the only one I wanna kiss goodnight. Because the first time that I saw these hands, I couldn't imagine not being able to hold them. But mainly, when you love someone as much as I love you, getting married is the only thing left to do. So, will you, um, marry me?
April: Definitely. Maybe.

AUGUST RUSH

There’s music in the wind and sky. Can you hear it? And there’s hope. Can you feel it? The boy called August Rush can. The music mysteriously draws him, penniless and alone, to New York City in a quest to find – somehow, someway – the parents separated from him years earlier. And along the way he may also find the musical genius hidden within him. Experience the magic of this rhapsodic epic of the heart starring Freddie Highmore (as August), Keri Russell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Terrence Howard and Robin Williams. “I believe in music the way some people believe in fairy tales,” August says. Open your heart and listen. You’ll believe, too.

---> this movie is mainly about a boy finding her parents through music but what i liked about it, is the love story of his parents. i like the idea that you can find your soulmate in just like an instant. you meet him/her for the first time, look into each other's eyes and right then and there, you know its gonna be him/her that you're gonna spend the rest of your life with. just like that and you feel connected already. i like the idea since in this generation, i can never trust someone right away. there's always doubts and apprehensions. anyways, the movie was great especially to those music lovers out there. its not just about music, but about faith and not losing hope. there will always be a connection to the people we love. be it music, dancing, photographs, or even the simple little things in life.

A nerve-jangling psychological thriller about a man who experiences the frighteningly common surgical phenomenon known as "anesthetic awareness," in which those laid out on the operating table remain acutely aware of what is going on around them despite remaining completely paralyzed and unable to cry out for help. When a successful young man (Christensen) goes under the knife and realizes that the anesthesia hasn't quite done its job, the horror quickly sets in as his worried wife (Alba) waits anxiously and a terrifying drama unfolds in the operating room.

--> a movie about "anesthetic awareness", very uncommon hence it was interesting. great storyline and twists as well. i loved how Hayden portrayed his role , it was so realistic.

H A N C O C K


Academy Award® nominee Will Smith (Best Actor, The Pursuit of Happyness, 2006) stars in this action-packed comedy as Hancock, a sarcastic, hard-living and misunderstood superhero who has fallen out of favor with the public.

When Hancock grudgingly agrees to an extreme makeover from idealistic publicist Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman, Juno), his life and reputation rise from the ashes and all seems right again--until he meets a woman (2003 Academy Award® winner Charlize Theron, Best Actress, Monster) with similar powers to his and the key to his secret past.


----> my favorite part: the scene where hancock for the first time saved people without anyone getting angry. . especially when they started to clap and acknowledge him. . (i like scenes that gets me teary eyed. .)

thought this was a purely action film so i didn't bother to watch it when it came out in cinemas but a friend recommended it and after watching it, i totally loved it. its funny, has a great twist and storyline and it gives hope to people to change for the better.
