movie review : when in rome

we just installed the 20mbps Unifi at home and we've all gone bonkers freeloading stuff off the internet. dahlah so speedy, download 5 movies and watch one movie and by the time the movie ends, the downloads pun siap. hell yeah man, now this is what you call broadband! well yeah, the cost of sustaining it can power a small town for a week but to think that we never have to go out to watch movie or buy DVDs again makes it all worth it.

so anyway. since i do not feel pathetic anymore and able stay up-to-date (kinda) with the latest movies (sortta) these days, i shall update this section pretty regularly. i've watched a few movies since the installation but i'll review it one by one, okay?



one movie that i really wanted to watch was When In Rome, coz i knew that Jason Mraz had a new unreleased song featured in there. and you know how obsessed i can get with jason mraz. so anyway, i finally managed to get my hands on a copy of the movie.

first few seconds was promising, coz it played jason mraz's song. first few minutes seems okay too. and finally, ROME! so nice, so pretty, i wanna go there someday. and then back to the states for the rest 50 minutes of the movie. that's it? no more rome? i thought the movie was all about rome! such a killjoy! i rather watch Leap Year for the third time coz at least it's consistently set in Ireland. and Josh Duhamel just fails me. romantic or comedy just does not fit him. lagilah pulak slapstick comedy. he was trying too hard to be funny. all in all, the movie was such a let down, safe for a couple and a half memorable moments. i think the only thing that kept me interested was the soundtrack.

First Jason Mraz (yeay!), and then Paolo Nutini (another yeah!), and then the best part of it was Adele's cover of Bob Dylan's 'Make You Feel My Love'. and the other songs in between those were not too bad. i actually don't mind having the soundtrack in my collection.

some of the songs that i liked from the movie :
