Captain America The First Avenger stars Chris Evans who goes from scrawny to brawny in just one minute in the film and emerges as a super soldier. One of the most highly anticipated comic book movie this year... Was it worth waiting or will it just turn out to be a cookie cutter comic book movie from the Marvel lineup?
Genevieve Loh gives us her verdict.

Get ready to scream with fear... and half the time laugh till you cry when you watch Twisted. It's a made in Singapore film by director Chai Yee Wei and his second attempt at horror movie but he's upped the comedy factor in this one. It's titled Twisted but does the story offer enough twists to keep us glued to our seat?

"Bridesmaids" is filled with stereotypical characters in very predictable relationships but some say this is easily the funniest film of 2011 to date. Everyone's calling it the female hangover - the wedding comedy centres around a group of girls on a wild ride down the road to matrimony.
Here's May Seah with more.

We see "Infernal Affairs'" director Andrew Lau switching style from action thriller gangster movies to romantic drama in his latest movie.It's called A Beautiful Life and stars Shu Qi who wants to strike it rich and Liu Ye, a righteous but lonely cop.Their paths in life cross and take them on an unexpected roller coaster journey. How good is the movie?

Larry Crowne is about a middle-aged man who decides to go back to school and get a degree after losing his job. It stars two A-List hollywood actors Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts but strangely... reviews so far have be so-so. It can't be the acting since these guys are masters of their craft. Could it be a lack of chemistry... Or maybe the story itself?
Let's see what May Seah thinks.

Michael Bay promises a more darker and emotional side for this film. With the Autobots fighting with the Decepticons once again, how would Bay fare this time?

This morning we catch up with "Your Highness". It is a typical story of a Prince Charming who fights an evil wizard to save a pretty damsel in distress and his kingdom. But there's a twist to the plot, well lot's of twists actually and that's where it gets interesting.
Our chick flick, Genevieve Loh tells us if it's worth a watch.

First it was the Incredible Hulk, then a man in a suit of armour, Iron Man. And just last month - Thor - the God of Thunder made a splash with his hunky presence. But what's making waves now is the latest superhero to hit the screens - a man in a green suit with a power ring to boot.

This family fun movie scores an ace with all the right ingredients to tickle your funny bone!
The film uses real penguins most of the time instead of going CGI and that certainly makes it even more entertaining. Will we hear happy feet tapping at the box office?
Here's what our reviewer, Genevive Loh thinks.

Something Borrowed is based on a bestseller book written by Emily Giffin.It's a highly marketable genre of fiction that talks about modern womanhood in a humorous manner. But does it translate well on the big screen?

The first Hangover was a brazen, bawdy rollercoaster ride around Las Vegas we didn't want to get down from. How would the sequel fare?

Remember a time when going to the movies was all about the experience, to be woven into the magic of great story-telling and transported into whole another dimension?
J J Abrams does nostalgic sentimental Spielberg in this movie.

X-Men: First Class unveils the story of how it all began for the X-Men. After a trilogy and another on just Wolverine, Hollywood has decided to move backward in time and give you a prequel. Now, those are tricky. Because it lacks the magic of novelty and you're basically telling a story with characters already familiar to the audience.
So Is this X-Men origins movie a first class affair?

There are a few heroines Hollywood loves and simply cannot get enough of. You have Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice. And don't forget Jane Eyre too... Maybe she's the favourite of them all because there's already about 20 films produced on her. And you can add one more to that list! Another one was just released. So what does this movie offer that's anything different?

This movie won the Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars and it follows the story of 2 boys who bond after fighting off bullies. Titled In A Better World", the movie takes a look at ugliness of violence squarely in the eye and asks you what YOU would have done were you in a similar situation? |

Hoodwinked Too - Hood vs Evil" offers many twists and turns...And not to mention, a convoluted mishmash of ideas from other successful animated features. The first movie back in 2005 wasn't an absolute success...so can this sequel do better? Let's hear it from Genevieve Loh. |

On our radar is a remake of the 1981 classic, "Arthur", and taking on the titular role of eccentric billionaire in this update is none other than funnyman Russell Brand.
The question is, does Brand carry the character of Arthur Bach with the same grace that Dudley Moore did some 3 decades ago? Here's Genevieve Loh with her take. |

The movie "Biutiful" saw Spanish actor Javier Bardem win the Cannes Best Actor Award and indeed his performance here is outstanding. While the story is anything but beautiful, it's a dark and grim portrait of a single father of two who is also part of the underworld of Barcelona.... So what makes it beautiful to watch?
