I can't think of a title, except calling it "Cinema"

A cute animation made my day. Thanks BS for How to train your dragon film and sweet salty popcorn :)

The title sounds crap, however I can't think of a better one after watching the film. Hahah, but I'm sure they can come up with a better one. Anyhow, aside from the title which didn't appeal to me in the first place, I heard many great comments about the film. Thus I decided to give it a go. I didn't watch the 3D version, saving my eyes from wearing the 3D glasses after 8 hours in front of a computer! It would be kinda tiring.

I love this film, also partly because I enjoy Scottish accent. It just amuses me and I heard lots in this film -- Gerard Bulter & Craig Ferguson. Like the reviews, many commented it's similar to Avatar with all the flying... yes, but it's enjoyable ;) The plot is refreshing, and made Night Fury (the black dragon) such an adorable character too. I particularly like the dragon fighting scenes, I normally don't like much actions, but this gives me such an adrenalin rush (not quite sure if I should say it's from the coke ;p)... Oh, the characters do have very funny names as well!

Go for it - a nice relaxing movie at the end of a working day!

My verdict: 4/5


Oh I also watched Alice in Wonderland recently, the plot is very predictable though. The attraction of this film is probably the wonderful make-up of the characters plus Johnny Depp casting in it (oh, how can women resist!) :) He's my favourite character in there, as The Mad Hatter. Somehow it seems to differ quite a bit from the storybook, I still have a pink hardcover copy given to me by my late auntie. I remember she took me to the bookstore, and I could choose any book I wanted... I have no idea why I chose it and I barely remember the story now too! Still, it's a little precious book because it reminds me of my aunt! It's a good film with wonderful effects & props, just don't expect much excitement from it!

My verdict: 3.5/5 (0.5 more for my beloved actor Johnny!)
