Mother

I saw a lot of movies during the holidays and breaks added. I haven't really got a chance to blog about them. I even signed up for netflix. Its very Convenient to have netflix so you don't have to travel and go to a video store if your feeling lazy or whatever the case is.
Anyway I rented this movie from Blockbuster during the holidays, called "Mother". Its a Korean movie I found near the New Release section. I don't really watch this type of Genre(Drama &Thriller type) but after reading the short sypnosis, it seems to have a good plot. So I gave it a shot since I have all the time in the world to watch so many movies in my three weeks of break. I have to say, it was very good, the ending wasn't exactly the way I want it to end but it was good. At least they were able to find out what she was looking for and able to solve the problem that she's not ready for.. Its amazing how a mother would break any boundaries and limitations for her child.
From watching this movie, I have to say Truth must comes out whether you can't handle it or not. It will set you free, but it will make you miserable at first.
Check out the trailer.




Here's a little info about the movie I found on Netflix:
A murder rocks a South Korean town and suspicion quickly falls on a reclusive, mentally challenged -- and alibi-free -- young man (Bin Won). When an inept public defender botches the boy's case, his mother (Hye-ja Kim) sets out to prove her son's innocence. Acclaimed director Joon-ho Bong (Memories of Murder) explores the lengths a mother will go to protect her child in this atmospheric crime thriller.

SALT - 2010

I did a post before regarding the trailer for this movie. As I had mention the trailer looks very interesting and it look like it has a good story plots and twist.
As Expected, It came with a good plot and unexpected twist. I guess I could compare this movie to "Bourne Ultimatum", the girl version..hehe..I always want to see Angelina Jolie on Action pack movies. She's such a great actress. The last movie she did was "Wanted" became one of my favorites of all time.
I recommend this for everyone who likes to watch guessing games and mind thrilling action movies. However, besides all the positive reviews I give, some part or scenes to sorta have that unreal feel like when she jump side to side on the elevator while its going down or when she beat down all four guys at the same time. Im pretty sure it's possible with all the proper training and technique and I always like to see Angelina kick ass. I guess that's what the movie is suppose to do, to bring unreal to reality for us to imagine and enjoy to watch.
Overall, I very much like this movie because Angelina Jolie is in it,..LOL, because of the sexy action stuff, and the plots and twists that keeps you guessing.

"The Shutter Island" the movie

First of ALL, Happy 4th of July Everyone!!!! After watching "Avatar" on DVD, I felt like I needed to watch another film. SO i went to look for something that's horror, suspense, or maybe some thriller. I came across "Shutter Island". I heard some reviews from the radio station last year, and there was postive and negative feedbacks from the hosts. So I guess, let's try watching this one.
I would have to say this movie is more of a drama to me than more of a thriller after the whole ending and learning the story behind it. Maybe a little suspense here and there, or maybe it just didn't work for me...whatever.
I would give a lot of Kudos to the Plot twist, since it has excellent creativeness to an extent. you would have to pick a side, wait for the movie to finish and be proven right or wrong. ALso the dreamlike illusion effect, to describe a certain past was cool too.
Anyway the story is about two federal marshall called up to the island that provides housing for the criminally insane as a psychiatric institute. They were called to Island due to a recent dissapearance of one of the prisoner that vanished out of her like a bubble. As they asked questions around, things becomes suspicious of the people that work there. They start to wonder if they are the one investigating the actual crime or they are ones being investigated.
