One of those thing: THE YEAR OF WATCHING DANGEROUSLY or HOW AN EPIPHANY BREAK MY DREAM IN 24 FRAMES PER SECOND

It started with Avatar, the so called ground breaking visual orgasm which re-defines 3-D in theatres then a slew of fake 3 D movies hit the screens, hoping to cash in from higher admission price.

Unfortunately, fake 3 D or a converted one is plain sucks in terms of visual and ripping of the cash of decent people who wanted nothing but some entertainment to endure their daily tension (Clash of the Titans, Alice in Wonderland, Gulliver's Travels, My Soul to Take, Nutcracker in 3D, Piranha 3-D, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Last Airbender).

Those studios just want to rip our pocket by releasing a converted movie. Sadly this trend will still follow in years to come, check The Green Hornet for instance. It wasn't even shot in 3-D but they marketed it with strong 3 D gimmick. Not to mention the second part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

To make things clear, here are movies not in 3-D but converted into it which will be released in 2011; Captain America, Green Lantern, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Priest, The Cabin in the Woods, The Green Hornet, The Smurfs and Thor.

So don't say I haven't warned you.

Some have the decency to really shoot in 3 D like Step Up 3 D, Resident Evil: Afterlife and Saw 7 in 3 D, as for the latter I haven't seen it at all. It doesn't even show here.

I know, shooting in 3 D takes much effort and time but for the love of decency, stop converting those movies in 3 D and didn't tell us about it. All they need is to be honest in telling the audience that it was a converted one. Besides in the age of twitter and facebook, anyone can find the information whether the movie is in real or fake 3 D.

Lucky for me after hearing how viewers complained about the low quality of converted 3 D movies, I didn't even watch any of them at all in 3 D.

Now let's move on to other subject. As we all know, the title of this blog is movie addict 101. Well it doesn't live up to it's title since what sort of a movie addict who only write 30++ reviews in a year? For the love of blueberry juice, there are 52 weeks in a year, why only 30++? It is not even an addict at all, I suspect I am writing all these reviews while I am snoring on my desk and my fingers mysteriously just tap in into the keyboards.

Well, I am just plain busy, besides I used to have the policy of only reviewing new movies. I do watch movies but most of them are old ones and sometimes to find the right mood to review it is like to find an ice cream in a salad bar. Which is easy, just walk few meters, find the nearest supermarket and buy an ice cream. What is difficult is the motivation to buy the ice cream and whether you had the money to buy it at all.

However I do have some regrets. I wish I have reviewed Old Dogs. I don't care what the critics said about this one but heck, it was the funniest movie of 2010 and it makes me laugh so hard but how can a review filled only with 'Hahahahahahhahaha' for six paragraph? Although that would be a revolution in itself and it would save time.

I also wish I have reviewed Wall Street 2 and off course The Ghostwriter, I liked it very much but I am too busy to write it down. The Ghostwriter is actually one of my favorite in 2010.

Now I will try to review old movies I have seen for 2011, you know, to live up to the title of this blog, to give the word 'addict' it's true meaning; more reviews. Perhaps some Tarkovsky and Ozu to make it sound pretentious, self-centered and full of myself?

Actually, do people read my blog? How come after years of me blogging I rarely got any feedback at all? Do I have to put someone naked in my blog to attract comments? I am thinking to put a nude cat here, just in case. I think no one is reading my blog and I don't know why I am still writing. Heck, I just write. Just like those people who dance even if there is no one watching or like Lady Gaga who wears some clothes made of meat to get attention, wait the minute, she did get the attention.

To put cherry on top, here's my personal 2010 best movies, not in numerical order and I refuse to give star to my reviews since I want people to decide it by them self by reading it.

Sorry Old Dogs and Iron Man 2 doesn't make the cut. They are entertaining but forgetful.

So here's the list with the link into my own review on it. Talking about being a narcissist eh? No I haven't seen True Grit and The King's Speech although I had a hunch these movies are good too and can manage to be in my favorite 2010 movies. So feel free to click the link which will not lead you into some spam password stealing site with unblock-able pop ups about ceramics and botox, but my own review inside this blog.
