The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest [2009]

With an entire secret organization in the Security Police, the local police force, a motorcycle gang, a determined mischievous psychiatrist and her own giant deadly brother as adversaries, Lisbeth Salander should learn to trust and rely on the help of the people who truly cares for her welfare and tell the world her story in order to set her free.

This is a story of a smart girl who kept herself loose from a world full of gender discrimination, crime and cover-ups to protect her human rights and possibly, the national security.

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.

Another DiCaprio movie that captures your attention. Action-filled and set in the heart of Middle East...hold on to the edge of your seats and have a good grip on it because DiCaprio's going to give you a bumpy ride that fuels on truth and lies.

The Road (2009)


In a moment, the world changed forever.

It will keep you thinking til the end.

-honey-

Director: John Hillcoat
Writers:
Cormac McCarthy (novel)
Joe Penhall (adaptation and screenplay)

Cast:
Viggo Mortensen as Father

Plot Summary:
A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind and water. It is cold enough to crack stones, and, when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the warmer south, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing: just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless cannibalistic bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a rusting shopping cart of scavenged food--and each other.Written by Sean Pollock

The Lovely Bones (2009)

Truly a lovely movie!
I first heard of it when it was mentioned at The Oscars, then when i rummaged through my dad's DVDs, I was kind of surprised that he had it in a pile of new movies he had.
In no second thoughts, I called my folks to watch this one.
And oh man, we got hooked up from start to end.
It gives me the screams, the thrill, the smile, the compassion and the sympathy.
Makes me think about what life in the in-between would be like for me...and whether my loved ones would also feel my presence despite the absence.
I so love this movie, and I'd surely recommend this to people.

Case 39 (2009)

Even before I was in the middle of the movie, I jumped up to find anyone who'd watch it with me.
It got me so scared that left me shivering and hugging my pillow so tight like if it's a living thing, I already have suffocated it dead. Good thing my parents are still awake, and I asked Pa to come share the horrifying movie with me, hahaha.

I had no idea what this Case 39 would be. I never planned last night to scare myself off, I just wanted to surprise myself. And no, I did not search and read any synopsis about this one, and bang, it did surprise the courage in me. I actually went chicken, but even so, I still wanted to watch all of it. I was even glad the ending was satisfactory enough. You should try it...preferrably with someone, but if you aren't as scared with scary movies like me, you may as well venture this one alone.

Ironhide: Why are we fighting to save the humans? They're a primitive and violent race.

You all know there's only one way to end this war: we must destroy the Cube. If all else fails, I will unite it with the spark in my chest.
Ratchet: That's suicide! The Cube is raw power, it could destroy you both!
Optimus Prime: A necessary sacrifice to bring peace to this planet. We cannot let the humans pay for our mistakes. It's been an honor serving with you all. Autobots, ROLL OUT!
Jazz: WE ROLLIN'!
