Mamma Mia!



  • Directed by Phyllida Lloyd
  • Starring Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth
  • As one of ABBA's huge fans, I had a lot of fun watching this musical movie. Meryl Streep is so fantastic and fun while Amanda Seyfried fascinates us with her lovely voice. Pierce Brosnan's terrible voice, however, is compensated by Colin Firth's singing talent. For me, watching this musical film is much more enjoyable than the Broadway show at New York City because here I can see everything, while there all I could see were heads of the people in the front rows.

Be Kind Rewind


  • Directed by Michel Gondry
  • Starring Jack Black, Mos Def, Danny Glover, Mia Farrow
  • The film's story may not be that great in the classical sense, but damn it is fun. What the characters are doing may not be totally believable or probable, but I sure had fun with them. Like the video renters in the movie, I really wanted to watch the movies that they shot, and I also wanted to create the movies with them. The film has a pro community message, and it succeeds so well because it reaches to the audience not with brains, but with heart. -Comment written by Dear

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor



  • Directed by Rob Cohen
  • Starring Brandan Fraser, Jet Li, Maria Bello, John Hannah, Michelle Yeoh
  • Speaking as a critic, I would say that the movie is a mess, with laughable scripts and acting across the board, and once again a tragic misuse of Jet Li (Will Hollywood ever give him the role he deserves?). However, Brandan Fraser looks so comfortable and fun in this adventure that he lifts the movie from utter failure to an at least watchable level. -Comment written by Dear
