013. The Big Year

015. Your Highness
Watched 2012.02.07 Monday night at home on LoveFilm BluRay.  It is damn funny. But I did need the subtitle to understand it.

016. The Ghost
Watched 2012.02.08 at home on LoveFilm's BluRay.  The so called ghost writer turn into an investigator with a surprising end.  I am liking Ewan McGregor more and more.

019.  Grown Ups
Watched 2012.02.16 Thursday night at home.  Finally watched the whole movie.  It is funny.

020. Arriety
Watched 2012.02.17 Friday afternoon at home on Blockbuster BluRay.  Another Mizayaki cartoon that is small, heartwarming yet charming.

021.  Apollo 18
Watched 2012.02.17 Friday afternoon at home on Blockbuster BluRay.  So that's what happened on Apollo 18? - the editing is quite believable until we see the different ways how Ben dies LOL

022.  Fright Night
Watched 2012.02.18 Saturday afternoon at home on Blockbuster BluRay.  Collin Firth as a vampire should be charming but this is so budget...

023.  Change Up
Watched 2012.02.19 Sunday afternoon at home on Blockbuster BluRay.  Not as inspiring as I thought it would be.  Nevertheless, a good laugh.

024.  Spartacus - Blood & Sand
Watched 2012.02.19 Sunday night at home on LoveFilm BluRay.  Kinda prefer the cinematic effect on the Gods of Arena.  So far only watched 4 episodes - cant wait for the next disc to arrive!

025. Everything must go
Watched 2012.02.20 Monday night at home on LoveFilm DVD.  Crap ending.

026.  The City of Life and Death 南京！南京！
Watched 2012.03.03 Saturday afternoon at home on LoveFilm BluRay.  The shocking history of Nanjing during the war - I just couldnt see some of the scene!  So the Japanese are still denying the history but at least the Japanese actors in this movie admitted it?

027.  The Informant
Watched 2012.03.04 Sunday at home on LoveFilm BluRay.  It is quite shocking how a twisted person can outplayed FBI and how reckless was a major investigation was initiated!

028.  Street Dance
Watched 2012.03.09 Friday night at home on LoveFilm DVD.  The same old trick and standard story line glamorizing the streetdance attitude.

029.  长江七号
Watched 2012.03.10 Saturday night at home on QQ TV.  After so many years finally watched this movie which was so popular and talked-about.  Though my eyes did welled by some of the scenes and the closeness of the father and son, it would have been perfect if Steve Chow put in a bit more effort to make it less Wong-Jing and more Kung-Fu.

030. 500 Days of Summer
Watched 2012.03.25 Sunday afternoon at home on LoveFilm DVD.  It is a strange love story.  She is lovely but strange.  Maybe I am not that normal too.

031.  After Life
Watched 2012.03.28 Wednesday night at home on LoveFilm BluRay.  Liam Neeson well played a psychopath.  And the girl was naked throughout most of the movie.

032.  Smokin Aces.
Watched 2012.03.28 Wednesday night at home on TV.  Hoenstly I cant really recall what that movie was about...

033.  The Town
Watched 2012.04.05 Thursday night at home on LoveFilm DVD.  A story of a town full of robbers.  Ricardo enjoyed it, but I fell asleep for 15 minutes, though it was not bad a story.

034.  You are the apple of my eye 那些年我们一起追的女孩
Watched 2012.04.07 Saturday afternoon at home on QQTV.  Finally watched this film.  It does reminds me some of the good old school-days.  But maybe it was due to my poor memory that I didnt cry watching it?  I think the boys can relate to this movie more.

035.  The Great Magician 大魔术师
Watched 2012.04.07 Saturday afternoon at home on QQTV.  Not bad a movie.  Funny but not overdone. 

036.  Invictus
Watched 2012.04.14 Saturday morning at home on LoveFilm DVD.  Movie about how Nelson Mandela united the fragmented South Africa via rugby.  A man of vision and faith, really moving.

037.  A Lonely Place To Die
Watched 2012.04.15 Sunday morning at home on LoveFilm DVD.  Shot in Scotland, the view is amazing.  It is about a group of mountain climbers accidentally found a little girl buried in the most desserted place, hence their lives endangered.  Quite a different story and gripping.

038.  Horrible Bosses
Watched 2012.05.xx on LoveFilm BluRay.  There were no ridiculous trying-too-hard-to-be-funny but it was seriously funny. Good watch.

039. The Freedom Writer
Watched 2012.05.xx on TV.  Still dont like Hillary Swank but this is a feel-good movie on how a new and passionate teacher transform the lives of a class of student who have been abandoned by the normallity.

040.  Friends with Benefits
Watched 2012.05.xx on LoveFIlm DVD.  Funny as expected but just like most of the funny RomCom it has an happy ending - fuck buddy isnt as simple as it may seems.

041. The Help.
Watched 2012.005.26 Saturday night at home on LoveFilm DVD.  It is about how a white girl make a book of voices of many black maids who were treated unequally during those times.  A good film and makes me ponder how lucky I am to be able to be treated equally, at least on the face of it.
