lost in the reel world

hubbi and me have been catching up on movies like crazy for the past few days!
am so glad to do so. :)

1) 十月围城
for a mandarin film, its really not bad.
almost all the actors were casted well and demostrated adequate acting skills (with the exception of leon lai)!
the plot is somewhat realistic and believable since the background of the story is based on actual events and persons.
BUT, as usual spoilt by some 夸张 action sequences lah.

2) The hurt locker
never heard of this movie before until the oscar buzz recently.
personally, i feel its a little over-rated for its high rating at imdb.com and its rave reviews here and there.
rather intense and realistic show giving a protray of a bomb squad at iraq.
the show was directed as it is, without any additional fanfare.
but also, because of this there is not much of a climax to it and rather bland if you ask me.
still, a show worth watching.

3) up in the air
i enjoyed this the most out of the three.
geroge clooney is totally perfect for the leading role - one who relishes being alone with no strings attached to him.
expect alot of witty banter between the roles as this is the same director who brought us "juno" and " thank you for smoking". i like. :)

now, what show should i catch next?
without a doubt, it will be alice in the wonderland!
but before that, i hope i can finish the book first!
