Okaiy.. here goes nothing.. FLIPPED (2010) is strongly recommended to you guys who's a bit tired of deep-mind-analysis and/or serious-case-of-special-effect kind of movie, such as Inception, Black Swan, Transformers, Twilight (pfttt!), etc. This one gathered the rating 7.5 in IMDB  and achieved 9/10 rating from yours truly.

Not to mention you may slip and fall, and God knows what could be happening next. 3. Motorbike is always winning. Plus they have this weird reflex to accelerate the speed or suddenly forgetting the brake function whenever they saw someone who's about to cross the street. Yes, I know, it sucks. But

Prologue can be found here . Part 1 "Good afternoon to you, too, darlin'" He touched her finger that was still pointed at his chest, "Still manage to scare the day out of me, I see." She smiled. Too sweetly. "Are you trying to get us killed? Not a good day to die, you say?" She grabbed his newspaper and pretended to find anything interesting in the headline. Some creep robbed some poor bank. Some died in a car crash. "I have to admit I have no idea what you're saying, darling." He brushed off easily, "and if you'll excuse me, I have other things to attend, presumably more important than pretty lady like you." "Not so fast, Morocco." She loosen the bow of her large brimming hat, took it off and stole a quick kiss on his lips before resorting to a look called calm. He's quite taken aback, especially considering that that kiss might be a sealed deal to unknown party, confirming that he is indeed
