Le Petit Nicolas (2009; Genre: Drama Comedy) Rating : 4 / 5

Le petit Nicolas or in English "Little Nicolas" is a film adaption from one of the famous french children book.

The film is about Little Nicolas who imagine funny weird things what will happen to him when his mother is pregnant. Taken away by his imaginations, Nicolas takes himself to various plans of kidnapping his coming sibling to prevent what he imagines that he will be abandoned once his sibling is born. This movie shows you how great is the child imaginations. For adult viewers, seeing this movie is just like remembering their old past adventures. The well developed character Nicolas make the movie loveable to watch. It may quite boring when you see the trailer but don't judge the book by the cover some says.

I haven't read the book yet but I am sure that the book is as good as the movie. I would have to say that the movie worth spending a dime in cinemas with your family on weekends or may be bring your grandpa or grandma for nostalgic. Received 6.6 in IMDB, well, it is up to you.



Fame (2009; Genre: Musical) Rating : 2 / 5

Fame is awful in the story but rich in creativity. It's just the combination of High School Musical with The streets. The dancing, the singing and the musics is entertaining yet the story line is completely awful. If you are looking a good story like the streets or even love story like in the high school musical, then this "Fame" is not your choice.
The story is about the difficulty in getting into show business. Viewers being thrown from one character to another character in short scene without developing it further. It is similar to telling a short gossip not a story to the viewer. Viewers are left with a short scene of the stress and challenge received by the students from the personal life to the career and jealousy yet too many characters in the story means not enough time to focus on main characters. As a result, the movie is more like documentary with video clips of dancing and singing compiled in the middle of the scene making the movie longer.
If you like the streets and High school musical, then you will be disappointed with the story yet you will love the musical scene such as tap dancing, break dance, DJ musics, singing, piano songs and lots more. So what you have to do is go have a quick nap and ask your friends to wake you up when the musical scene starts.

The movie received about 20% in rottentomatoes and 4.5 in Imdb. What I think, this movie is not worth it spending a dime in cinema. Just roll over you tube and search for the dance clips of the movie then there you go.

Its Complicated (2010; Genre: Romantic Comedy)

It's Complicated film is awesome.
Starring Meryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin.
As reflected by the title, the movie is about a complicated love triangle relationships between Jane (Meryl), Jake (Alec) and Adam (Steve). AFFAIR story has never been so hilarious. Both Meryl and Alec really pull it out with tremendous good acting. The story started with divorced Jane which later finds out that her ex-husband "Jake" is looking forward to rebuild their relationships. Due to loneliness of empty nest and the urge to take care, Jane is having an "COMPLICATED" relationship with Jake while Adam as her architect is also attracted to Jane. Leaving Jane to choose between Jake or Adam, the story flows with funny scene mostly from Jake and the supporting character Harley (John Krasinski).
As the story dragged a long, some may find it a bit as the story of porn, mainly due to the main character "Jake" is always show up for a sex. Duh... LOL. Yet, it is entertaining.
Viewers may have different perspective and mix feeling towards the end. Well, the ending is generated for Movie goers to talk about after the movie ended.

Received 6.8/10 in IMDB.com and 57% on Rottentomatoes.com (19 January 2010) , well it is really up to you. I would say that this film is worth to watch it with your friends and lovely family.
