Aside from Netflix, we also have an account at Blockbuster and recently, we borrowed the dvd of the movie Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides.
This movie is a continuation of the Pirates of the Carribean series. This time, the quest is for the fountain of youth. Most of the characters from the previous Pirates of the Carribean stories are back like Johnny Depp’s character Captain Jack Sparrow (of course) and Captain Barbosa but there are new additions to the story like the mermaid and Penelope Cruz as Sparrow’s old flame.
If you want a believable story-line, this movie isn’t for you. But if you enjoy watching adventure-fantasy movies, for sure you’ll be immensely entertained by this movie especially with Jack Sparrow’s funny antics.
I rate this 4/5. I’m not much a fan of this type of movies but I liked watching this.
I signed up for Netflix yesterday and been on a movie-watching mode since yesterday. The first film that I watched during my Netflix subscription is the TV film from the ABC family channel entitled My Fake Fiance.
My Fake Fiance is a feel-good romantic comedy movie that was released in April 19, 2009. It belongs to the genre that I love: romance-comedy.
Unlike other feel-good movies, My Fake Fiance doesn’t give an illusion that people are perfect – and they showed the story of two people with lots of character flaws falling in love despite the negative things they know about each other.
The story is about a woman named Jennifer (played by Melissa Joan Hart) who planned to have a fake wedding for the sake of getting the wedding gifts because her stuff got stolen and a guy named Vince (played by Joey Lawrence) who is in deep trouble because of his gambling problems. He agreed to a fake marriage to Jennifer because he needs the money that he’ll receive as wedding gifts to pay off his loan from a loan shark named, “The Monkey.”
I liked the film because it made me laugh, smile and cry while watching it – and the plot is realistic and a bit unique. I am giving this movie a rating of 5 out of 5. If you’re not into romance comedy genre, you should take score that with a pinch of salt though.
Avatar
Today, I had a chance to watch Avatar on DVD.
Avatar was released in 2009 but it was only this afternoon that I got interested in watching it (yeah, yeah, I know!). It was directed and written by James Cameron and its cast include Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, Sigourney Weaver, Joel David Moore and Giovanni Ribisi.
Avatar is a science fiction movie about a paraplegic marine who was dispatched to the moon Pandora on a unique mission. He later faced this dilemma of choosing between following his orders and protecting the world that he now feels as his home.
This movie has superb visual effects and it’s no wonder why as of November 14, 2011, it is still the highest-grossing film worldwide. It’s story is unique, well-planned and well-executed. The film’s message is also deep – it shows how capitalism, imperialism and militarism can disrupt the harmony in nature.
I would give this movie a rating of 5/5. Definitely worth watching all over again.
