- DirectorBrad BirdJan PinkavaStarsBrad GarrettLou RomanoPatton OswaltA rat who can cook makes an unusual alliance with a young kitchen worker at a famous Paris restaurant.I love food hence I love this movie. This film shows that when you have a dream, like becoming a chef, pursue it whatever it takes.
"Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere." - Words to live by.
9/10 - DirectorMark WatersStarsLindsay LohanJonathan BennettRachel McAdamsCady Heron is a hit with The Plastics, the A-list girl clique at her new school, until she makes the mistake of falling for Aaron Samuels, the ex-boyfriend of alpha Plastic Regina George.My ultimate escapist movie. Whenever I just feel like watching something from our DVD stack, my sister and I always choose Mean Girls. I probably watched this for 20+ times and remembers almost all lines of the film. So fetch!
8/10 - DirectorMichel GondryStarsJim CarreyKate WinsletTom WilkinsonWhen their relationship turns sour, a couple undergoes a medical procedure to have each other erased from their memories forever.9/10

- DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonStarsTom CruiseJason RobardsJulianne MooreAn epic mosaic of interrelated characters in search of love, forgiveness and meaning in the San Fernando Valley.The interwoven stories portrayed by Paul Thomas Anderson, one of my favorite directors, shows the depths of the human character and its search for meaning in their lives. Even though the film is framed by surreal circumstances, (the infamous raining frog scene, for example) the struggles are all to real the emotion scarily accurate. Really a virtuoso film by a master *wink*.
9/10 - DirectorAndrew StantonStarsBen BurttElissa KnightJeff GarlinA robot who is responsible for cleaning a waste-covered Earth meets another robot and falls in love with her. Together, they set out on a journey that will alter the fate of mankind.9/10

Soon, her story spreads across the entire school like wildfire.A film about the politics and deceit of high school in vein of Mean Girls. Win!
8/10 - DirectorAdrienne ShellyStarsKeri RussellNathan FillionJeremy SistoJenna is a pregnant, unhappily married waitress in the deep south. She meets a newcomer to her town and falls into an unlikely relationship as a last attempt at happiness.This was such a gem of film, Such a poignant film about the heartaches and joys of motherhood. It makes me jovial and melancholic all at the same time. Whenever me and my sister finish this movie, we just breakdown and start crying like little girls because it reminds us of our late mother. RIP Adrienne Shelly and mom.
9/10 - DirectorJean-Pierre JeunetStarsAudrey TautouMathieu KassovitzRufusDespite being caught in her imaginative world, young waitress Amelie decides to help people find happiness. Her quest to spread joy leads her on a journey during which she finds true love.Such a sweet and charming movie.
9/10 - DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsUma ThurmanDavid CarradineDaryl HannahAfter waking from a four-year coma, a former assassin wreaks vengeance on the team of assassins who betrayed her.Both parts of Tarantino's ultra-violent ode to spaghetti westerns and Japanese Samurai films is an intoxicating picture of a woman scorned hence exacting revenge to her wrongdoers.
9/10 - DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsUma ThurmanDavid CarradineMichael MadsenThe Bride continues her quest of vengeance against her former boss and lover Bill, the reclusive bouncer Budd, and the treacherous, one-eyed Elle.9/10

- DirectorLee UnkrichStarsTom HanksTim AllenJoan CusackThe toys are mistakenly delivered to a day-care center instead of the attic right before Andy leaves for college, and it's up to Woody to convince the other toys that they weren't abandoned and to return home.9/10
- DirectorMike NicholsStarsEmma ThompsonChristopher LloydEileen AtkinsA renowned professor is forced to reassess her life when she is diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer.An affecting story, based on the play of the same name, presents the wrongs of medical professionals being cold and distant towards clients. How they see patients as experiments instead of people who feel.
The emotional and affecting portrayal of Emma Thompson a patient with a very accurate depiction of cancer, chemotherapy and its effects , it puts this film up a notch. I really cried so hard watching this film as it struck a nerve being that my mother also experienced the same fate.
9/10 - DirectorVincent ParonnaudMarjane SatrapiStarsChiara MastroianniCatherine DeneuveGena RowlandsA precocious and outspoken Iranian girl grows up during the Islamic Revolution.Love this coming of age story of Iranian-born French contemporary graphic novelist, illustrator, and film director Marjane Satrapi. This poignant semi-biographical film captures the emotion of the people during then Islamic Revolution through the narrative direction of the precocious and outspoken director heroine.
9/10 - DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsJohn TravoltaUma ThurmanSamuel L. JacksonThe lives of two mob hitmen, a boxer, a gangster and his wife, and a pair of diner bandits intertwine in four tales of violence and redemption.9/10

- DirectorKevin LimaStarsAmy AdamsSusan SarandonJames MarsdenA young maiden in a land called Andalasia, who is prepared to be wed, is sent away to New York City by an evil Queen, where she falls in love with a lawyer.Love love love this film which parodies and critiques the conventions of Disney and fairytale stories from a Disney film nonetheless.
8/10 - DirectorChristopher NolanStarsLeonardo DiCaprioJoseph Gordon-LevittElliot PageA thief who steals corporate secrets through the use of dream-sharing technology is given the inverse task of planting an idea into the mind of a C.E.O., but his tragic past may doom the project and his team to disaster.8/10
