Film reviews, finally!

It's been a while I didn't do any film review hey?
First thing first, Oscar Nomination for this year has just been announced. I'm SUPER HAPPY that Matt Damon is nominated for the Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his role in Invictus. Although his chance of winning is quite slim, still, it's an honour! Some even say he should be nominated in the Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance in The Informant! too! I just love Matt Damon and can't wait to watch these two movies of his!
By the way... Here are the two films I've watched recently...

Brothers
Only last week I think, Tobey Maguire was nominated for the Best Actor award at the Golden Globe for this movie. Though he didn't win, he is still to me, one of the best actors in Hollywood.
So this is a story about a Sam, who went to Afghanistan and went missing. After being tortured and forced to kill his own teammate by the Afghans over there, Sam came home becoming a bit of a psycho and did all sort crazy stuff, including suspecting his wife sleeps with his brother....
Tobey plays Sam and Jake Gyllenhaal plays his brother Tommy. First of all, I always thought they look alike. Secondly, I do think they both suit the role perfectly. Thirdly, I think they are both good actors, especially Tobey, of course! He really did a great job. As my dear said, if he wants to act spooky, he can really be very spooky. But I think that wasn't enough to win him a best actor award, just yet. And the way he made himself so skinny for this role is amazing! Natalie Portman isn't too bad too. I think she is turning into a good actress in stead of just a pretty face.
I like the movie because it's kinda 'real', it's just really possible to see this kinda situation happen in real life. But I don't like the ending. It's kinda 'cincai'. Overall, the impact makes it a movie which will stick in your head for a while.

大日子 Tiger WooHoo
我家从来都没有Astro,MY FM也不算是我的首选电台,但是看在有人说这部电影很好看一下,那我就去看一下啰!
拿“舞狮、舞龙、舞虎”来做电影题材已经不算是新鲜的了,尤其是在大马。而整部电影的故事与发展都很在预料之内,没有很多的惊喜。看得出来制作团其实很用心,很想搞笑之余又有感人的故事(有点像新加坡片了)、又要有很多很多的大马色彩,其实我觉得都做得到了。至少我有跟着笑,也有跟着掉泪,不错了啦!
其实主要演员们的表现也不错了,虽然我从来都不喜欢林德荣,但演阿炳还真的是演得出神入化,到现在我都还记得他的“正番薯”!阿贤的“也对pun”也很经典。豆腐卜也很够可爱、很好笑。Royce也演得很“娘”!我觉得最令人惊喜的是曾洁钰,第一次演戏,还演一个粗粗鲁鲁的咸鱼妹,还蛮自然的说!只是硬要配一个比她老那么多的林德荣,真的是.......唉唉唉~!
总合来说,大马制作来说,算很不错了。是略显没有太多的高潮迭起的感觉,但是以轻松喜剧来说,还蛮值得一看的哦~!:D
