Xïåöhüï's Movie List 2010 (Issue #9)

#33 Clash of the Titans (2010)

Genre: Fantasy

Rating: 2.5 out of 5

Remarks:
Why do I get the feeling that Greek mythology is reduced to men in skirts prancing about CGI land? I very much prefer Percy Jackson.


#34 The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009)

Genre: Fantasy

Rating: 2.5 out of 5

Remarks:
Nice CGI to showcase the Imaginarium, but not very captivating for me.


#35 Shutter Island (2010)

Genre: Thriller/Mystery

Rating: 4 out of 5

Remarks:
Gripping. I need to see this a second time to confirm what is reality and what is dream.


#36 The Invention of Lying (2009)

Genre: Romance/Comedy

Rating: 2.5 out of 5

Remarks:
A comedy set in a world where no one has ever lied, until a writer seizes the opportunity for personal gain. But I am not sure a world of truth and honesty means everyone is only so two-dimensional to be blunt and superficial in every occasion.


#37 New in Town (2009)

Genre: Romance/Comedy

Rating: 3 out of 5

Remarks:
I watched this for Renée Zellweger; my colleague watched it for Harry Connick Jr. The storyline is typical and predictable, but enjoyable and made me LOL twice or thrice.
