four movies in four days

and i am not counting.

superman returns. click. the devil wears prada. the lake house.

i liked superman. left me a couple of questions, but over-all, i like how bryan singer steered clear of the usual stuff and delivered a bunch of twists i didn't even think of. thank god, i was not 'spoiled' by people who have seen it ahead of me. i wish i saw it on imax though. i heard it was hella fun.4 out of 5 popcorns.

click. what can i say. it's an adam sandler movie. i watched it mainly because i wanted to live life vicariously through his character, who got hold of this magical universal remote control. the film had its moments but in the end, it boils down to one fact: it is an adam sandler movie. 2 and a half out of 5 popcorns.

the devil wears prada was comical, hilarious even. ann hathaway is good. meryl streep just rocks. the lines are funny and they were all delivered with aplomb. it was a surprise to see some familiar faces here: adrian grenier (from entourage) as nate, tracie thoms (from rent) as lilly, daniel sunjata (from recue me) as james holt, simon baker as christian thompson. there were major characters from the book that were not in the film and the main character's relationship with her best friend was not as highlighted as it was in the book. 3 and a half out of 5 popcorns.

the lake house. i saw il mare a couple of months ago and i was impressed. then i found out that there was a hollywood version of this film, and this was it, the lake house. i fell in love with the house in il mare and the beautiful cinematography, something that i can not say about the lake house. the hollywood version has its moments but i think i prefer the korean version better. they omitted some crucial (for me) portions and the scene where sandra bullock's character tried to save someone who was hit by a bus, i already knew the twist. and surprise, surprise, it was it. yes, the surprise twist. oh well. 3 popcorns out of 5.
