Orphan (2009)

Remarkable! Very gripping and and the twist is very original. Got to love Isabelle Fuhrman and Aryana Engineer. The latter’s character was one of the strongest child characters I’ve ever seen on screen. Didn’t like the director’s unnecessary “murderer” POVs; after a while it became tedious to endure through all that unnecessary tension buildup. Watch it.

Case 39 (2009)

My “Session 9” dreams come true! Everything that is scary in that was realized in here. It’s almost a perfect combination of “Session 9” and “Orphan”. Plot is kind of cliché but it is well executed. Got to watch it!!!

Couples Retreat (2009)

Somehow the trailer is way funnier, definitely an indication of subpar direction. The cast carried this movie through. Jean Reno, Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Jon Favreau… the casting director deserves a bonus. Watch it if you want.

The Six Wives of Henry Lefay (2009)

Wasn’t much point to the movie. Has some funny parts, but in the end nothing happens. Jenna Elfman’s character was the only entertaining part. Skip it.

The Rebound (2009)

MILF! Awesome line… The scene with the chiropractor who goes to the bathroom and puts his hands on Catherine Zeta-Jones’ face was especially funny. But in the subsequent scene where he puts his fingers in her mouth and stretches her face was uncalled for. Does the director knows how to portray a Hollywood veteran like Catherine? The kids are awesome too; best portrayal of the next generation I’ve ever seen. I got to say… the ending was very meh. Watch it.
