RocknRolla

Okay this may be last year's movie, but I just watched it like a few weeks back.

I fell asleep halfway of the movie!

I wasn't expecting that since I love Gerard Butler's movies, especially this one where it involved a UK mafia.

Well sort of.

This British movie is like you would've expected.

Their funny-ness is so hard to detect, unless you're a Brit.

Fortunately for me, I understand just as fine. I didn't really quite get the message of this movie. The only thing I know is they need to get back something that was stolen from their boss which was stolen in the first place anyway.

It did manage to make me laugh, and although they mentioned in their tagline that this is a story about sex,

They lied!

There was no sex in it! If you call the scene where Gerard looked drunk and had an intercourse with a woman (which I forgot her name!) is sex, then it's a joke.

It was over in practically less than a minute, which I recall to be the fastest sex ever on a British film.

Overall, I would recommend this film if you really have no other movies to watch.

My Rating: 5.6/10

Law Abiding Citizen

This is definitely one of Gerard Butler's greatest performance!

But that's only because he's evil.

I was watching it during a premier, and I didn't really get to focus so I watched it the second time a week after that.

I think it's safe to say that this movie is great since I've watched it twice. I would never do that for a serious type movie.

Anyway, the introduction of the movie was so powerful; I was seriously pissed off.

Butler's family was brutally murdered and raped and that makes me feel so angry for some reason. Well if you watch it you'll know what I mean.

The overall storyline was indeed similar to Saw franchise so it wasn't really that original.

But the original part was eventhough he's behind bars, he could still kill. But come to think of it, it is similar to his performance in P.S I Love You; where he could still deliver letters to his wife when he's dead.

I guess he can never get out of that one.

Comments on Jamie Foxx; this is his worst performance since Dream Girls.

His acting was not convincing enough, it made me laugh.

My Rating: 6/10

Gamer

Another action summer movie starring Gerard Butler.

Seriously does he really need to do two totally different movies just to balance it out?

You know, for the romantic comedy with Heigl and now this?

But overall it was a good effort, although the ending was slightly easy. You'll know what I mean if you watch it.

The camera movements are killing me! But in a good way. Remember Doom? It's similar to that but more lively. Doom was a tad bit animated to for my taste.

Once again Gerard knows how to pick his action movies. From Beowulf to 300, and now Gamer.

One question though, is it me or do I feel like Gerard's getting darker in every movie?

My Rating: 6/10

P.S I Love You

I couldn't remember the last time I watched such an inspiring story as this.

It literally made me cry the whole time. Well not exactly the whole time, but some of the scenes managed to make my cry my hearts out.

And the songs, nice.

This story is an adaptation from Cecelia Ahern's novel with the same title. It's beautiful I must say.

The portrayal of Hilary's (Swank) character was superb. I could almost believed it! No wonder I was crying.

And Gerard Butler's voiceover reading the letters was amazing. I don't know how, but it's just right.

And Ireland was amazing! I don't recommend watching this with your mates or girlfriends, for guys I mean.

It's gonna make you cry! (If you know me, you would know I'm not a crying person!)

My Rating: 9/10

The Ugly Truth

Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler starred in this battle of the sexes comedy movie.


Contained spoiler!

Katherine Heigl started off as the desperate, needy and lonely TV show producer who always screwed up her dates.

Imagine Courtney Cox from Friends, and Catherine Zeta-Jones from No Reservations and you'll get an uptight, control freak like Heigl in this movie.

She were taught to handle guys when she met Gerard Butler, a TV host of The Ugly Truth. Butler played a very sarcastic, sinister role in this movie who eventually fell for Heigl. (I told you it contained spoiler!)

Okay now my review.

I thought that this movie is the funniest since Knocked Up and Zach and Miri Makes a Porno! I was laughing my heart out! It was seriously brilliant!

And I bet Heigl bagged a lot of money from this movie since she's also one of the producers for this movie, with her sister! I think.

The next best thing in this movie was Heigl's boobies and Butler's sexy European voice.

Butler did a great job impersonating an American in this movie, but I could tell that he still can't get rid of his manly and ruggedly Scottish accent.

Unfortunately for girls, you can't see Butler's naked chiseled body here. So don't get high hopes!

As for the guys, good news! You will not see Heigl's naked body, BUT.....

The camera focused on her boobs most of the time! There was this one scene where Kathy bend down to wear a vibrating brief, her boobies were on the loose! Seriously I was looking at it all the time!

The storyline of the movie was perfectly combined and organized so you won't be having any trouble following through. But they totally ruined the punchline!

My Rating: 8/10
