Language: English
Release Date : 19-Dec-08 [US]
Movie Duration : 104 mins
Genre : Comedy

Synopsis
The story centers on a man who decides to change his life by saying yes to absolutely everything that comes his way. Saying "yes" leads him on a series of unexpected comedic adventures that turn his whole life upside-down.

Jim Carrey stars as Carl Allen, a man who signs up for a self-help program based on one simple principle: say yes to everything ... and anything. At first, unleashing the power of "yes" transforms Carl's life in amazing and unexpected ways, but he soon discovers that opening up his life to endless possibilities can have its drawbacks.



Ayashi's Review
Jim Carrey, the popular comedian... Quite a laugh from this movie.
Better movie compares to his previous other movies which has totally no story or meaning to me. This movie is alright.

Rating: 7/10

Movie Duration : 107 mins
Genre : Comedies / Action

Synopsis
In this action-comedy, Ben Stiller plays pampered action superstar Tugg Speedman, who is cast in the biggest, most expensive war movie ever produced. He sets out to Southeast Asia with a "Who's Who" of celebrity co-stars. They include Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Jr.), an intense, three-time Oscar-winning actor; Jeff Portney (Jack Black), star of the popular gross-out comedy franchise "The Fatties"; multi-platinum hiphop-star-turned-entrepreneur-turned-actor Alpa Chino (Brandon T Jackson); and first-timer Kevin Sandusky (Jay Baruchel). Soon after the production begins the actors are thrown into a real-life situation and are forced to become the fighting unit they're portraying, in order to find a way out of the jungle in one piece.



Ayashi's Review
It's hilarious all right... but don't really like it. The story plot and how the events started seems too fake to me. There are couple of scenes which are very disgusting to me...

Rating: 6.5/10

Notes from Ayashi
Another Anime from Manga-illustrated. Its ongoing manga can be viewed online from onemanga.


Ayashi's Anime Review
Although, I might admit this Anime actually has silly storyline but... it never fail to entertain me. The comedy never cease. Each episode is getting funnier and crazier. As mentioned above, this Anime is in the Edo period, meaning it's before Year 1868, and yet they have crazy high-technology things.

Highly recommended. Rating: 9/10.
P/S: Gintama will make u laugh like there's no tomorrow! :D





And don't forget to mention our all times favourite chara, Elizabeth ....

Ayashi's Anime Review

Finally I managed to complete this anime today! I believe most viewer might comment about the funny / weird drawings of the background and chara. I, personally, think it has some similarity to Disney Drawing Style -___-|| ... But! after watching few episodes, it's a "not-so-bad-to-watch" anime.

My Rating: 7.5/10





And hey! How can we forget to mention him? That legendary sword / hero .... ~..~



















BAKA!

This movie is as amusing as its Part I. Very well storyline made. Not to mention their comedy scenes. Movie is linked to the previous ones, so it's highly recommended to watch Part I first.
