Ugghh. The anticipation...

World Invasion: Battle L.A. - rocks!!!

this is one of the nicer movies i've watched for a long time!!!
Aaron Eckhart and Michelle Rodriguez stars in this show (can't tell from the trailer eh? No clues as to EVEN someone whom we know is acting in it. Just like 'Rec', or that show whereby aliens invade earth but the show was shot almost all in first-person??? Sooo forgettable). i guess Michelle Rodriguez starring as a warfighter is no longer new (via Resident Evil, S.W.A.T., Avatar etc.) but Aaron Eckhart is. He plays the role of SSG Nantz very well and as expected being the male protagonist, unleashes some "John Wayne" action in kicking some extraterrestial's butt. i LIKED his "John Wayne" part(s) in the show. (At the rate of him kicking so, he'd probably be awarded some adamantium Star already.)
also happens that this is a long-time never-been-so-good alien-cum-war movie (the last good ones IMO were Independence Day and Black Hawk Down) which i've not been seeing on the big screen for quite a while. wait a minute... did i just say that?
interesting enough, this is one of the very few movies which had a very sucky trailer but the show turned out great. Usually it's the other way round. Also, the title of the show - really throws people off the hook that THIS could be a good one (producers, please think of better names more befitting of the movie?)
RPR: 9/10 - Plot's not fresh, but the way it was put across is. Thumbs up!!!

Just go watch it!

also was recommended to watch this show by a guy friend, a certain Mr. Pork who happens to also be an Adam Sandler movie fan.
plot goes that a successful plastic surgeon in the form of Adam Sandler, Dr. Mckabee (not sure if this is the correct spelling though) was a failure in his actual love life so he's all in for one-night stands. A charmer as he may be, he still fell for a lady of his 'dreams'. To go with the flow to get this girl once and for all, he engages Jennifer Aniston, his clinic's assistant, and her entire family (excluding her divorcee husband) to help him (con) out.
Nicole Kidman actually guest stars in this show.
overall satisfaction after watching this movie --- good :-)
as usual, Adam Sandler plays the good 'ol nice guy role (he's a natural somehow - but forget Zohan) and this movie comes with a happy ending.
RPR: 8/10
