Elle (I) (2016)
4/10
The worst movie of Huppert so far
11 January 2017
I watched this movie because I am a fan of Huppert and heard good reviews for this movie. I am shocked it is so wrong. This movie is a totally disgrace for Huppert.

The movie basically says it is OK to rape women since women would fell in love with you or forgive you when you can do her some favor. The movie is out of touch with reality. No woman would feel so calm and so comfortable after the rape. No police and no cry ??? and secretly waiting for the rapist to return. No woman is that desperate !

End of my rants. If you are a woman and can not tolerate any rapists with any excuse, stay away otherwise you will feel very bad.

OK movie for kids younger than 6
20 November 2015
This movie is only for kids younger than 6. The plot is too familiar, looks like a rip off from other animation movies. You name it, ice age, home, the croods, finding nemo.

If you watch movie only because of beautiful scenery, you will find my review useless since that is only light spot of the movie. But I would rather save money from staying away from this movie and travel to Yellow stone national park to see the real thing.

Just like I said, if you are younger than 6, you will probably still find it enjoyable. nothing deep, but for an adult like me, it is bland and painful to watch a kid movie unlike other Pixar movies.

Cinderella (I) (2015)
3/10
very dangerous message from Cinderella
18 March 2015
Warning: Spoilers
The message from Cinderella is so so out-dated and dangerous. "Kind" doesn't mean "Weak".

"Taking care of the house" is a very lame excuse.

Cinderella was basically trapped in that house and abused by her step mother without any resistance and fight.

She has a horse and she can escape.

I know it is a fair tale, but please make it logical and sends out the correct message to kids around the world about how to fight back the bully and abuse.

If you want to make a NEW movie, make it New with new messages and new plots, otherwise leave it be.

It is such a boring and uninteresting movie with nothing new. Please save your money and time.

Lip Service (2010–2012)
2/10
Season 2 is disappointing
27 May 2012
In season 2, I felt writing is very disconnected after Sam became a much more prominent character. The strengths of Lip Service in season 1 tended to be in the group/friendship scenes like "Friends".

The acting from the actress who play Sam is so bad that I have to skip all her scenes. There are no chemistry between Sam and Lexy and their sex scene is too awkward to look at. Other actress gave the strong acting though.

This show had great potential but the writing and the acting ruined it. I heard the rating is not strong this season so maybe there won't be season 3. If it has season 3, I hope writing gets improved.

A boring and trivial love story
20 October 2009
The movie is terribly shallow and amateurish. It feels like reading a boring long love letter without anything new.

The love between leading actor and actress is forced and contained little to no chemistry possible due to their ages. They are in their middle 30s, but they tried to act as teenagers in the past. You don't know why they fell in love with each other. Acting of leading actor and actress is so awkward. The leading actress carried one facial expression from the beginning to the end.

The plot is full of holes and laughable. The audience can guess the final twists from the very beginning.

Anyway, save your time and money on this movie. watch better romance movies like "roman holiday" instead.

Casino Royale (2006)
1/10
I am wondering if I saw the same movie as the others
13 August 2007
I just went to see this movie for free. I had heard a lot of praises for this movie. When I back, I was wondering if I saw the same movie as the others. What a boring movie without any logics! I don't care how different this bond from the previous ones. But please give me some funny, interesting things to look at. There are none of it. No fancy gadgets, No witty talks and No unpredictable plots. This new bond is not a gentleman anymore and turned out to be a cold hearted killer without any brains. I got it, it is the bond before becoming bond. But come on, Bond has IQ of 50, give me a break.

!!!!!The following has spoilers!!!!!!

1) As a well-trained spy, he didn't know to be careful about the drink in the casino, even he spotted the girl friend of the evil man was nearby.

2) He gave his password to the government girl, although he know little about her. And after that, he didn't even bother to check if the money has been transfered to his account for a week.

Luckily, the enemy has lower IQ. Well, they saved "Eclipse" telephone number on their phones for this bond to find out. How convenient! Now I am glad that I didn't pay to see this movie.

The Promise (2005)
1/10
this movie left me speechless (in a bad way)
30 December 2005
After having seen this movie, I was really speechless. I have to admit it is definitely one of the worst movies I've seen in a very long time. It tried so hard to tell us some Chinese philosophy of life, love or "promise". But it failed because the story itself was so boring, illogical and full of clichés. A good movie should has a good story which can stir your emotions and let you feel the pain or happiness of the characters. But I felt nothing because I was distracted by the poor story. Finally I lost interests in all characters. The dialogue was so bad that made you suspect it was written by some freshmen in a drama school. I was also annoyed by the way the actors spoke in the movie. They looked like they haven not eaten for several days. It goes to show what a bad script and direction can do to actors like Hiroyuki Sanada who was so good in "The Last Samurai", like Ye Liu who was won some awards in "Lan yu". It would be hard to imagine that the good actors in this film didn't know it was a turkey when they were making it.

As for someone who enjoyed CGI, I have to say that even CGI was ridiculous sometimes since it was not necessary. It made this movie like a bad animation movie.

So, if you have absolutely nothing else to do, you may want to watch this one, once. Otherwise, my suggestion is: avoid this movie. It is not worth your time and money.

D.E.B.S. (2004)
8/10
what a fun ride
5 July 2005
What a movie! I haven't laughed so loud during a movie for a long time. I am very glad I picked up this movie though I had no idea what it was about. I just saw the cover and thought it would be an action movie. But I got what I want for a good movie: witty lines, awesome acting, bittersweet love stories, and sexy actors, did I say sex actresses and actors. I love the whole cast: D.E.B.S, Lucy Diamod, Scud, Miss Peatree and even Bobby. I don't care what the critics would say about this movie: cheesy, silly, blah, blah. In my point of view, it is a good movie. Maybe not the best. But definitely it is a good movie. I will prefer this movie over lots of so called Oscar-worthy movies.

So give you a treat and go see this movie.

Iron Jawed Angels (2004 TV Movie)
9/10
It is a great movie
4 October 2004
I am very glad that I have seen this great movie. I was touched by this film. It is fun and exciting. Maybe I am a woman, I feel like crying with the characters, sharing pain and happiness with them. It is the feeling I have never had while watching a movie. I also enjoy the music too. If you are a woman, go and watch it. If you have daughters, watch it with them.

I want to thank all actresses, actors, director and other people who were involved in it. I am very grateful that they brought us a deep insight into these woman hero's' battle for the freedom. We owe so much to them.

Monster (2003)
9/10
a good movie which provokes your thoughts
10 August 2004
this is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I began to cherish what I have right now after seeing this movie,I used to think my life sucks. I cannot stop thinking if there are something wrong in our system if there are someone like Ailee who was never given any chance since she/he was born. If only someone have helped her in the very beginning, maybe everything would be different, wait, we would not have this movie, either.

As for acting, I really appreciate the performance from Christina Ricci as Shelby at least she need to be mentioned. She gave a good push to Charlize who truly deserves an Oscar. I was never a fan of Charize and Christina until now.
