Gnomeo and Juliet (2011)


The neighboring gardens of Montague and Capulet are at war, but the gnomes, Gnomeo and Juliet, are in love. - IMdB

The movie shows the events on how love can unite two differing and contradicting races and finding out that they've got lots of things in common than they can imagine. :D

Thor [2011]

Thor is banished to the realms of humankind when he disobeyed his father Odin's orders. With his arrogance, thirst for war and bloodshed and revenge against the Frost Giants, Thor has put Asgard in the brink of danger and war. But, never would he have predicted that a mere mortal scientist would change his ways and turn him into a god who will not just defend Earth from dark forces, but also Asgard from his traitor brother and the power-hungry Frost Giants.

I didn't realize the god of thunder is also a god of super hotness body. This movie also has a discrete sense of humor one will enjoy.

The A-Team [2010]

Action-packed and hilarious. The A-Team only has Plan A, no other options, and you better not dare mess with them. They will beat all odds and go further as breaking jail to clear their name, because the honor of a name is far more important than anything else.
