This is a great movie! Based on 2 true stories. A must watch!

Meryl Streep and Amy Adams performance is stunning! Director is Nora Ephron, who brought us film Sleepless in Seatle, You've Got Mail, Michael, etc. Nora Ephron is really good in directing in this kind of drama, romance and comedy!

Julie & Julia is about 2 stories which Julia is an American chef, author, and television personality. She introduced French cuisine and cooking techniques to the American mainstream through her many cookbooks and television programs. And the other story is about Julie who will be feature Julia's 524 Recipes in 365 days, with also published in her blog too. From her blog, Julie become famous in introducing Julia's recipes and got a chance to published her own book.

This really a good movie and I like it so much!

Avatar (Review)


King of the world is return with his latest film and this film is amazing! May be the story line looks bit similar like "Dances with Wolves" or "The Last Samurai", but it still one of the best and one of my favorite! I like it so much.

The CGI is so stunning! The scene is so beautiful, half of the entire film is using 3D / CGI to develop it, and this is one of the most expensive film they ever made.
Looks like James Cameron always over budget for his own film, and every film he directed, not only in good return, but also wins most of the audience heart.

James Cameron already plan for this film since 12 or 14 years ago? He did mention at that time the CGI may not achieve what he requested for the efx of this film. The way he wrote the script, is very unique. He got his own way to tell the story, I think most of the audience will accept it and also will feel the passion from his film.

This definitely a MUST WATCH for this year! Won't feel like watching a 2.5 hours film, because you will enjoy every single sec. in this film! Bravo!!
