This is it, 2012, My Girlfriend is an Agent

This seems a movie on its own. Like "This is it ... in 2012 .. my girlfriend is an agent" ? But of course not, the MJ movie,

This is it, seriously it is not a movie. Just a recorded version of his concert rehersal, was thinking there will be some snippets of his other parts of this life.

Basically, it was just song after song, towards the end, you get tired about it, probably this is for hardcore MJ fans.

But no doubt, it was nice watching most of his hits getting rehersed on stage, those are unforgettable tunes, even though I doubt I remember their names when I heard them when young. 7/10

In 2012, how do you show the world caming to an end in 2 1/2 hours ? This movie did quite a great job, though there are some "trying to lengthen" movie parts but still bearable. No big cast, In 2009, Adrian, an american scientist went to India to meet his friend Satnam. To verify the increasing temperature of the earth's core. Adrian flew back to US immeidately to tell Chief of Staff, Carl. They in turn met the President and he told the G8 head of states this bad news. The day will be Dec 12, 2012. This started a secret mission to build humungous ships that will be able to withstand the impact of this armaggedeon. Tickets to these ships are discreetly on sale for $1 billion euro.

Adrian's job will be predict the exact date and time this will be happening. Then it jumped to 2012, Jackson, a writer fetching his kids to camping from Lily his ex-wife place. They head to Yellowstone park and found themselves going into a out of bound area. They were brought by the army back to their temporary camp. Jackson met Adrian and Adrian "deliberately" by the plot, was reading Jackson's book. Jackson was freed and they camped overnight. At the same time, Jackson met Charlie, some over-doing wierdo running a radio station, spreading to the whole world his belief of armagedeon date and government trying to build some huge planes/ships. Jackson was quite convinced, almost there.

At the same moment, Kate and her husband, Gordon survivied a quake at the supermarket. Jackson send the kids home immediately, then went back to fetch the 2 russian boys, kids of his boss, seems like he is doing some chaffeur temp job. The kids blurted they have tickets and they will live and he will die. Then by the plot, he has to believe and pay some pilot to wait for him at the airfield. He rush to Kate and the kids, he arrived but the quake happend. The scene where they blazed through the city which was annihilated by the quake was quite awesome.

They reached the airfield but the pilot was dead. Why would you need a new husband in the cast ? Because he was suppose to know how to fly. They manage to fly off but only just, forced to land at Wyoming for more fuel. And Jackson ran off to Charlie to ask him about the map where the ships will be build. This scene where the whole yellowstone blazed into a splurting volcano, great CGI effects too. They flew off in time too but then they knew having to get to China, this plane is not possible. They landed at McCaran airport, they met Yuri, his russian boss and again why you need Gordon ? Because the Antonov 225 plane needs a co-pilot, Yuri's man Sasha will be the pilot !

They managed to flew off as Las Vegas was destroyed. The plan is to refuel in Hawwali but it was simply submerged in lava so they plan to crash land into the ocean but there is a problem. As the earth crust shifted, they are already at Himalayas, they crash landed with Sasha perished with plane. Out in the cold, Chinese helicopters landed and took Yuri and his kids as he had green ticket. How will Jackson and his family survive ? Now I know why the little lama was needed ? He appeared at the start as he wanted to save his family too. His brother who was working to build the ships found a plan to smuggle them into the ship. Jackson saw this lama driving by and by the plot he has to ferry them.

Suppose to have 6 ships, one was down so alot of people will be abandoned. But Jackson convinced the head of states to open their ship's gate and let the people in. This happened when Jackson they all trying to sneak in, as the gate was let down, it pulled in Gordon, he was crushed, no more flying needed, so he was "ended". Jackson and all was in safely but something was stucked, the gate cannot close fully. Quite an exhilarating ending. It ended well if you think so, as the ship head to South Africa. 7/10

My Girlfriend is a action comedy but it seems to try do do too much in 2 hrs. The gf was an agent thus trying so hard to hide her actions and whereabouts. It is almost impossible to hide so they broke up. 3 years later, the bf became an agent. Both on the same mission but different targets and from different government teams.

As a rookie, he tries hard to impress and wants on the field actions, thought not very successful but no choice, it needs the comical moments.


They met again in the toilet, she was disguising a lady cleane as she was staring so hard at a guy peeing. Then it revealed it was him, she beat him up like no tomorrow. They ended up in the police station, quite a comical scene too.

Then it was "both carry on with their jobs and trying to get back together", this carried on for quite long, it feels abit long till they messed up in one missions. The teams watching back the recorded tape, found each other and think they were the bad guys. Some professor trying to sell some virus to some russians is the action plot. This was filmed along with comical moments of the 2 main leads. One of the last scene was quite funny at some outdoor event, the bf trying to chase his gf who was chasing the russian girl. He got himself on some donkey or mule, the scene showed the bf on his mule donkeyed past the russian guy who earlier sped off in a bike, he was re-fuelling. 7/10
