The Switch



"The Switch" is like a romantic comedy, except better because it gives you everything you want: romance and comedy with a story and characters. They buck the trend to make the romantic elements absurd and instead shower us with comedy and very little sap.


Jennifer Aniston is just a cute girl that the audience can accept as a character, but Jason Bateman is everything you want in a leading man. Very good looking but not in a typical way, plays up neurotic with aplomb, and is hilarious all the way through. We easily fall in love with him from beginning to end.


Genre - Romantic, Comedy
Casts - Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman
Director - Josh Gordon, Will Speck

MOVIES TO LOOK FORWARD TO

Previously, I listed the movies that I've watched in the cinema or at home. Some of the movies are not shown in the cinema, maybe because they are not box-office movies. But some of them are really good. I actually spent a lot on dvds, on the movies that are not shown in the cinema.
I noticed that a lot of people are downloading movies from the internet, and I decided to follow the trend. Besides, streamyx is having an awesome promotion for its 1MB broadband and I decided to take it.

I will be posting movies that I look forward to, movies I watched and not forgetting, some old movies which are my favourites.

So, no more buying dvds!
