“They are the only movies telling the truth about the modern world: the death of religion and sexual revolution” the most memorable line from the glossiest film of the year of 2009-Nine, which is also considered with the best cast of the year.

Film: Trainspotting
Director: Danny Boyle
Cast: Ewan McGregor/Ewen Bremner/Jonny Lee Miller/Kevin McKidd/Robert Carlyle
“Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television”, I believe you are not unfamiliar with these words. It is the opening monologues from Mark in the disputable and controversial film-Trainspotting.
Mark Renton, a young man with few prospects and fewer ambitions, lives in economically depressed Edinburgh. Like most of his friends, Renton is a heroin addict who loves the drug’s blissful nothingness; financing his habit also provides excitement and challenges that his life otherwise lacks. Renton’s two best friends are also junkies: Sick Boy, a snappy dresser, and Spud, an honest nerd. Renton and his pals also hang out with Begbie, a borderline psychotic who loathes junkies even though he drinks like a fish. After one too many brushes with the law, Renton kicks heroin and moves to London, where he finds a job, a flat, and something close to peace of mind. However, Sick Boy, Begbie, and Spud all arrive at his doorstep on the trail of a big score, leading Renton back into drugs and crime.

Cast: Carey Mulligan/Peter Sarsgaard/Alfred Molina/Cara Seymour/Dominic Cooper
Nominated for 3 Oscar awards, this BBC-produced film has captured great attention.
It brings us a heartfelt juvenile story about a girl fighting the expectations of her family and society as she falls in love with a middle-aged man.
Jenny (Carey Mulligan) is a charismatic, lively 16-year-old girl in the 1960s. On the surface, she seems like a typical nice reserved British girl – prepping to go to Oxford, sneaking out for smokes with her friends, dreaming of going to Paris. But actually, she is not satisfied her current life and wants more. After all, her father just wants her to go to Oxford at whatever cost, thus putting a lot intangible pressure on Jenny and pushing her to rebel.

Film: I Am Legend
Director: Francis Lawrence
Cast: Will Smith/Alice Braga/Salli Richardson/Paradox Pollack/Charlie Tahan
Are you expecting Will Smith as humorous as Hitch or as careless as he as the detective in I, Robert? This time, Will is the only major person in this disaster film. Due to the spread of a lethal virus, U.S. Army virologist Lieutenant Colonel Robert Neville (Will Smith) is left as the last healthy human in New York City, and possibly the entire creepy world. Every day, he broadcast the same thing: My name is Robert Neville. I am a survivor living in New York City. I am broadcasting on all AM frequencies. I will be at the South Street Seaport everyday at mid-day, when the sun is highest in the sky. If you are out there… if anyone is out there… I can provide food, I can provide shelter, I can provide security. If there’s anybody out there… anybody… please. You are not alone.

Film: Big Fish
Director: Tim Burton
Cast: Ewan McGregor/ Albert Finney/ Jessica Lange/ Helena Bonham Carter
Do you want to see something special? Possibly something that will have you look at relationships and life in a slightly different way.
If you are, then Big Fish could be just the thing you are after.
It is a gentle and whimsical story of Edward Bloom (Albert Finney and Ewan McGregor) whose tall tales of his life makes him attractive to almost everybody.
One person who is not so keen on the stories is his son Will who has kept distance from his dad because he doesn’t believe Edward is being truthful with him.

Here comes Valentine’s day, I’d like to recommend a classic affactional film for you and your lover. Enjoy~
Director: Nick Cassavetes
Cast: Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams, Gena Rowlands
Adapted from a bestselling novel, The Notebook is the simple story of a privileged young woman who falls in love with a inferior boy.
The story has an unusual framework: it begins at a nursing home, where an elderly woman suffering from dementia is paid a visit by a man who offers to read her a story. As the film develops – mostly in amber-hued flashbacks to the 1940s – it becomes apparent that the older man and woman have a pivotal stake in the following story.

Countless skyscrapers, flowing vehicles, here is New York-the incredible city. You may call it as you wish: The Big Apple, The Concrete Jungle, and The City That Never Sleeps. The charm of this city is as various as its name. People with dreams come from different places, in every walk of life, happen to meet in pubs, or walk by under streetlamps. Curious, they chat to each other; lonesome, they fascinate each other. Exotic romances play on this full-of-coincidence city-New York.
This film is a collective work of twelve short films, with each segment running around 10 minutes long. Some of the actors have international status (Natalie Portman, Shia LaBeouf, Hayden Christensen, Orlando Bloom, and Irrfan Khan), with each shooting
Director: Francis Ford Coppola
Cast: Robin Williams/Diane Lane/Jennifer Lopez
The accepted genre of this film is comedy. Actually, it has two different personalities. It begins as a comedy, but then it gets serious. The transition from comedy to drama is a little abrupt, but the film manages the trick.
ll
Cast: Julia Roberts/Hugh Grant The plot of this film follows the common beat of a traditional romantic comedy: boy and girl meet, they get to know each other and love each other, and then unexpected interferences come.In this case, the state of life is the major obstacle. Our actor is a bookshop owner in London, while the actress is a Hollywood star, famous all around the world. Behind her glorious appearance, she lives an uneasy life, full of disturbances and noises. And what she want most is true love but not fame.
What I learnt from this film is that one should never cower but cope with it bravely on the pursuit of true love. No matter how great difference between you and the one you love, just walk on hand in hand. Love is afraid of nothing. Love shall overcome all.
