Two thumbs up for this movie!

3) A Walk To Remember


When a prank on a fellow high school student goes wrong, popular but rebellious Landon Rollins Carter (Shane West) is threatened with expulsion. His punishment is mandatory participation in various after-school activities, such as tutoring disadvantaged children and performing in the drama club's spring musical. At these functions, he is forced to interact with quiet, bookish Jamie Elizabeth Sullivan (Mandy Moore), the only daughter of their church's pastor, and a girl he has known for many years but to whom he has rarely if ever spoken. Their differing social statures leave them worlds apart, despite their close physical proximity.

Jamie: You know what I figured out today?
Landon: What?
Jamie: Maybe God has a bigger plan for me than I had for myself. Like this journey never ends. Like you were sent to me because I'm sick. To help me through all this. You're my angel.


Boleh kata bila semua orang yang aku tanya, citer apa yang buat diorg nangis, citer ni mesti ada dalam list.

4) I Am Sam

Sam Dawson has the mental capacity of a 7-year-old. He works at a Starbucks and is obsessed with the Beatles. He has a daughter with a homeless woman; she abandons them as soon as they leave the hospital. He names his daughter Lucy Diamond (after the Beatles song), and raises her. But as she reaches age 7 herself, Sam's limitations start to become a problem at school; she's intentionally holding back to avoid looking smarter than him. The authorities take her away, and Sam shames high-priced lawyer Rita Harrison into taking his case pro bono. In the process, he teaches her a great deal about love, and whether it's really all you need.

Kisah seorang ayah yang memperjuangkan hak untuk menjaga anak perempuannya.
Sedih lah.. zaman sekarang ni kalau bukak paper ada je cerita orang buang anak...
Cerita ni kan.. awal2 cerita lagi aku dah bergenang air mata dah..

5) The Pursuit of Happyness


Based on a true story about a man named Christopher Gardner. Gardner has invested heavily in a device known as a "Bone Density scanner". He feels like he has made these devices. However, they do not sell as they are marginally better than the current technology at a much higher price. On top of that, one of these does not work. As Gardner tries to figure out on how to fix the faulty one and sell the others, his wife leaves him, he loses his house, his bank account, and credit cards. Forced to live out in the streets with his son, Gardner is now desperate to find a steady job; he takes on a job as a stockbroker, but before he can receive pay, he needs to go through 6 months of training, and to sell his devices.


Christopher Gardner: Hey. Don't ever let somebody tell you... You can't do something. Not even me. All right?
Christopher: All right.
Christopher Gardner: You got a dream... You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want somethin', go get it. Period.

Will Smith is the only reason I watched this movie at first.
But it's a great movie after all.
Macam bagi motivasi pulak.
Tapi part paling sedih masa dia ngan anak dia homeless tu..
and terpaksa tido kat toilet..
masa dia nangis tu aku pun nangis sekali..
oh superb lah Will Smith..

Ya saya menangis tengok cerita ni...
Saya menangis masa part Erzan tu mati kena tembak..
Part2 lain tak sedih pun.. Hehe..
Mungkin sebab masa tu saya emotional (saya tengah pregnant masa tu)..

Aku penah review pasal citer nih dalam previous post.
A must watch.
Brilliant story. I watched it with mixed emotions.
And unpredictable ending too..


8) The Green Mile


Paul Edgecomb is a slightly cynical veteran prison guard on Death row in the 1930's. His faith, and sanity, deteriorated by watching men live and die, Edgecomb is about to have a complete turn around in attitude. Enter John Coffey, He's eight feet tall. He has hands the size of waffle irons. He's been accused of the murder of two children... and he's afraid to sleep in a cell without a night-light. And Edgecomb, as well as the other prison guards - Brutus, a sympathetic guard, and Percy, a stuck up, perverse, and violent person, are in for a strange experience that involves intelligent mice, brutal executions, and the revelation about Coffey's innocence and his true identity.

John Coffey: Please boss, don't put that thing over my face, don't put me in the dark. I's afraid of the dark.

I watched this movie at the cinema dengan Cik Lah.
Aku tak igt masa tu kami still kat Melaka atau dah kat Cyberjaya...
tapi masa tu nak balik rumah hujung minggu..
Sempatlah singgah Sunway Pyramid kejap. Hehe..
Kami taktau pun citer ni pasal apa.
Tapi tengok ada Tom Hanks so kami tengoklah cerita ni.,
Sedih wohh.. kami nangis dalam panggung..
Watak John Coffey tu bagi aku lakonan Michael Clarke Duncan yang paling berkesan lah..


9) The Curious Case of Benjamin Button


As she lay dying in a hospital bed on the eve of Hurricane Katrina hitting New Orleans, an elderly woman asks her daughter Caroline to read from a diary left to her by a man named Benjamin. Born on the same day World War I ended, Benjamin Button's mother died giving birth to him. As a newborn, he was old and wrinkled and his horrified father Thomas Button leaves him on the doorstep of an old folk's home. Benjamin fits in well for, despite his young age, he looked as old as most of the residents. Benjamin soon realizes that he is growing younger, not older however. Early on, he meets the love of his life, Daisy, a beautiful red-haired, green-eyed child who grows into a beautiful woman while Benjamin grows into a handsome young man. Their lives take many different turns and making a life together is long in coming. It also is of limited duration given their ultimately different fates.


Benjamin Button: Along the way you bump into people who make a dent on your life. Some people get struck by lightning. Some are born to sit by a river. Some have an ear for music. Some are artists. Some swim the English Channel. Some know buttons. Some know Shakespeare. Some are mothers. And some people can dance.

Benjamin Button: Your life is defined by its opportunities... even the ones you miss.

Daisy: Would you still love me if I were old and saggy?
Benjamin Button: Would you still love ME if I were young and had acne? When I'm afraid of what's under the bed? Or if I end up wetting the bed?


I do think this is a beautiful love story indeed...
Start nangis masa Daisy jumpa balik Benjamin yang dah jadi budak tu..
pastu dah tak ingat siapa dia..
pastu masa Benjamin jadi baby then died tu..
sedihnyaaaa....


10) Papadom


Mengisahkan Saadom adalah seorang pengusaha kedai makan yang terlalu kuat bekerja sehingga berjaya mengejar impian hidupnya, namun dia gagal dalam tanggungjawabnya sebagai suami kepada Munira dan ayah kepada Miasara.

Sebenarnya ni bukan cerita sedih sangat.
Banyak lawak tau..
Gelak-gelak-gelak-gelak pastu tetiba sedih..
Alah macam korang tengok Ibu Mertuaku laa..
awal2 kan kelakar pastu tetiba twist jadik citer sedih plak..
tapi sedih pun takde laa sampai ke hujung cerita..
aku rasa sedih part yang Saadom nangis cakap kat Miasara yang dia rindu kat wife dia tu..
My opinion about Papadom.


Yes, no Titanic, no Kuch Kuch Hota Hai... :)
