Han's favourite movies of 2008

Well 2008 was quite a movie year for me, I probaly watched more movie in 2008 then I did in any other year. So here's my favourite 5 (in no particular order)

The Dark Knight


Let’s start with The Dark Knight. Whoever says that The Mummy 3 is better than this movie should honestly die so Heath Ledger can torture you as the joker. People who say it’s boring have been watching too much cartoon and should learn how to GROW UP. I loved every single dialogue in the movie and I was also impressed with Aaron Eckhart portrayal of Harvey Dent a.k.a 2 Face. This is truly Batman for adults, unlike Batman forever which was catered for 15 years and below.

Be Kind Rewind


Be Kind Rewind totally rocks. Another intelligent comedy that had my mind blasting (quote from Russell Peter) since Bowfinger. What else could expect from Michel Gondry, who also did Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (which was of course one of my favorite movies). Jack Black was pretty good but I preferred Mos Def who played Mike, the loyal, nice black guy who devotes his duty to protecting the Movie shop. Seriously must watch, unless you’re a retard who prefers Disaster Movie or Meet the Spartans

Wall-E


Soooooooo Cuuuuuuuuuuuttttttttttteeeeeee. Nuff said. Wall-E’s feelings all expressed only through his cute binoculars eyes (and his cute robotic sound). Pixar has indeed created magic once again since the old Disney Classics. If anyone tell me this movie sucks possibly has no soul and no heart.

Ip-Man 叶问


I have non-Chinese friends who have watched this movie 3 times in the cinema. So yeah, that basically sums out how good this movie is. Donnie Yen portrayal of the Wing-Chun 永春 was classic. Fast yet graceful and deadly, Wing Chun has since been Google top searched item with people looking for places to learn it. The story line itself was pretty simple and straight forward but the scenes where powerful enough to captivate you in the moment. Much better then Dragon Tiger Gate 龙虎门 in my opinion.

Australia


Ok, I’ve been getting mixed reviews from this one. People either hate it or love it. I personally enjoyed it. 3 hour length I was entertained 90% of the time. Nicole Kidman combined with Hugh Jackman was a totally new chemistry all together. I find the story concept very, very similar to Pearl Harbor but this is way much better. More powerful, more moving and less boring. If you think this movie sucks then good for you, I enjoyed it, so shut up.

To prove my point of how good it is compare to pearl harbor, watch the youtube clip below.



Anyways what are your favourite picks of 2008?
