Cypher (2002)

Wow. Simply wow. The entire film looked amazing. Excellent cinematography and photography. The plot is amazing too. There are so many ploys that you won’t know who is telling the truth or just skillful manipulation. Definitely must watch.

I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (2009)

Not as funny as expected. Not much point to it. Run away from it.

Dorian Gray (2009)

The dialogue is extraordinary, what do you expect from Oscar Wilde. The language dances around like a medley of swords. The thing that I have a problem with was that in some scenes there were several abrupt jump cuts which ceased the movie’s flow. Regardless, watch it!

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.
