SERENDIPITY

SERENDIPITY

THIS CHARMING ROMANTIC COMEDY HAS ALL THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS AND SERVES UP A BOUILLABAISSE OF SCHMALTZY ROMANCE AND SLAPSTICK FUN. THE FATE ANGLE IS PLOWED MERCILESSLY, ALMOST TO THE POINT OF NAUSEA, BUT THE SKITS ARE FUNNY AND THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN CUSACK AND BECKINSALE IS ENCHANTING. CUSACK IS AN EXPERT AT PLAYING THE TORTURED AND NEUROTIC LOVER, BUT HERE HE IS MORE HAUNTED AND FORLORN THAN DYSFUNCTIONAL, AND IT PLAYS MUCH BETTER THAN HIS PREVIOUS TWO CHARACTERS IN `HIGH FIDELITY' AND `AMERICA'S SWEETHEARTS'. KATE BECKINSALE ROCKETED FROM OBSCURITY TO PROMINENCE WITH HER PERFORMANCE IN `PEARL HARBOR' AND PROVES TO BE A WONDERFUL ROMANTIC LEAD IN THIS FILM. SHE IS BREEZY AND ADORABLE AND SPINS A DELIGHTFUL WEB AROUND JONATHAN AND THE VIEWER. THE FILM ALSO BENEFITS FROM OUTSTANDING COMEDIC SUPPORT FROM JEREMY PIVEN AS JONATHAN'S BEST FRIEND AND DEVOTED SARA SLEUTH.

ALL IN ALL, THIS IS AN ENTERTAINING COMEDY THAT IS INSUBSTANTIAL BUT DELECTABLE.

MY RATING:-                             3.8/5.0

PET SEMATARY 

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS MOVIE, IT IS ALMOST PERFECT. PET SEMATARY DELIVERS GREAT SCARES, SOME PRETTY GOOD ACTING, FIRST RATE PLOT, AND MESMERIZING MAKE-UP. THIS IS TRULY ONE OF MOST FAVORITE HORROR FILMS OF ALL TIME. I AM A BIG FAN OF STEPHEN KING'S WORK, AND THIS FILM HAS MADE ME AN EVEN GREATER FAN OF KING. PET SEMATARY IS ABOUT THE CREED FAMILY.

I HAD SEEN THIS MOVIE WITH HEADPHONES AT 3 A.M. AND TO BE FRANK MY HEART WAS RUMBLING . I WAS JUST WILLING TO PAUSE THE MOVIE AND GO OUT FOR A STROLL BUT I WAS TOO TERRIFIED EVEN STEP OUT OF MY BED.

MY RATING:-                             3.8/5.0

INKHEART

 INKHEART

EVERY STORY EVER WRITTEN IS JUST WAITING TO BECOME REAL.

 THIS MOVIE IS AN ENCHANTING LOVELY FANTASY WITH ENIGMATIC CHARACTERS AND A SLICK EXECUTION STYLE.

ALL IN ALL, WHILE INKHEART IS A HIGHLY ENJOYABLE FILM, IT IS NOT THE BOOK. OUR ADVICE? WATCH THE MOVIE. LOVE THE MOVIE. THEN READ THE BOOK AND FIND A HUNDRED NEW REASONS TO LOVE IT AGAIN. 

MY RATING :-                 2.9/5.0

NOTTING HILL

NOTTING HILL

THIS IS A 124 MINUTES MOVIE AND WHILE WATCHING IT YOU WILL FEEL THAT MINUTES FLEW AS SECONDS.

IT'S A VERY SOFT ROMANTIC COMEDY LOADED WITH THE PRESENCE OF THE SMOOTH FLOW OF MUSIC LIKE THE FEEL OF COLD BREEZE OVER THE BARE SKIN. THIS MOVIE CASTS ONE OF OUR FAVORITE ACTOR HUGH GRANT AND THE EVER SO SPLENDID JULIA ROBERTS.THIS MOVIE IS JUST THE ENJAMBMENT IN THE HIT LIST OF GRANTy.

TO DISCOVER THIS IN A FILM IS JOYOUS. YOU'LL FEEL THIS WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF COMPELLED TO SEE THIS DEEPLY FELT, YET VERY FUNNY, FILM TWICE, THRICE, OR MORE. FOR US , IT'S STILL DELIGHTFUL AFTER NINE YEARS AND COUNTLESS VIEWINGS.

MY RATING:-                       3.8/5.0 

 
 

THE THIRTEENTH FLOOR

THE THIRTEENTH FLOOR

THIS MOVIES FALLS IN TO THE CATEGORY OF SCI-FI. THE CHARACTERS, ARE NOT REALLY DEEP, ARE WELL STRUCTURED, AND THE PLOT CONSTRUCTED WITH SUBTLE COMPLEXITY. THE 1930S SCENES ARE DRAMATICALLY CREATED. I FOUND MYSELF TRYING TO GUESS THE PLOT TWISTS, BUT WITH LITTLE SUCCESS AS THEY UNFOLDED. IT WAS A GOOD FILM, AND RICHER IN SUBSTANCE THAN THE MATRIX, AND LEFT YOU WITH A THOUGHT PROVOKING AFTERTHOUGHT ABOUT OUR OWN EXISTENCE. GOING INTO A MOVIE, I HOPE TO HAVE AVOIDED ANY PRIOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE PLOT.

MY RATING:-                             3.4/5.0

THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON

THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON

 THE ACTING IS BRILLIANT IN THE MOVIE. BRAD PITT AND THE MARVELOUS CATE BLANCHETT SHARE A FIRE THAT RESONATES SO EFFORTLESSLY OUT TO THE AUDIENCE. THE MUSIC IN THE FILM IS GREAT AS WELL.  I REALLY DO THINK THAT THIS FILM IS A CLASSIC. AND I WOULD GO AND SEE IT AGAIN. SOME PEOPLE COMPLAINED THAT THE MOVIE WAS VERY GOOD, BUT THAT IT WAS TOO LONG. I DISAGREE, I ACTUALLY DIDN'T WANT IT TO END. IT'S THE PERFECT FILM TO WATCH ALL SNUGGLED UP IN A BLANKET DURING THE DEAD OF WINTER. ALL THINGS ASIDE, THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT THE SHORT TIME WE'RE GIVEN WITH LIFE AND HOW WE ARE TO MAKE THE MOST OF IT.

THE WORK DONE BY THE MAKEUP ARTIST IS ALSO PERFECT THAT BRINGS THE REALISTIC TOUCH TO THE MOVIE.

MY RATING:-                               4.0/5.0

TRAINSPOTTING

TRAINSPOTTING

TRAINSPOTTING IS A MOVIE WHICH IS ABLE TO PULL YOU INTO THE LIVES OF THE CHARACTERS AND MAKES YOU EMPATHETIC TO THEIR FEELINGS WHILE STILL IN-KEEPING WITH BOYLE’S CONTEMPORARY LOOK AND STYLE OF FILM MAKING.ITS GIVE YOU A DIFFERENT LOOK ABOUT BEING SCOTTISH .

IT’S A FILM I CAN WATCH OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND STILL SMILE AT THE END. NOT ONE TO MISS.

A MUST SEE!!

MY RATING:-                                    3.6/5.0

A WALK TO REMEMBER

A WALK TO REMEMBER

THIS FILM WAS SUCH A WONDERFUL SURPRISE. WHILE I WAS EXPECTING A MODERATELY LIGHTWEIGHT PIECE OF TEEN FARE, THE FILM CAME IN WITH TRULY PROFOUND DEPTH, IMPECCABLE PERFORMANCES, SOLID DIRECTION AND GOOD PACING THROUGH A DIFFICULT STORY. MANDY MOORE IS A CERTIFIABLE SUPERSTAR. AND SHANE WEST IS REALLY GOOD, AND A BIG SURPRISE WAS LAUREN GERMAN, WHO IS NOT ONLY A VERY GOOD ACTRESS, BUT SO BEAUTIFUL IT IS PURE JOY TO WATCH HER. THE RELIGION ELEMENTS OF THE STORY ARE EFFECTIVELY INTERLACED INTO THE NARRATIVE WITHOUT FEELING LIKE THE VIEWER IS BEING FORCE-FED A THEOLOGICAL VIEWPOINT. AND BRING TISSUES- THIS ONE IS A REAL TEARJERKER WHICH LEAVES YOU FEELING UPLIFTED AND OPTIMISTIC.

NOTE:- THIS MOVIE FLOATS OVER THE CHARISMATIC VOICE OF MANDY MOORE HERSELF. THIS MOVIE IS INSPIRED BY THE REAL STORY OF DANIELLE SPARKS LEWIS WHO WAS SUFFERING FROM LEUKEMIA AND WAS APPROACHED BY A MAN WHO WANTED TO MARRY HER EVEN THOUGH HE WAS AWARE OF THE TRUTH. THIS STORY WAS TURNED IN TO A NOVEL BY HER BROTHER NICHOLAS SPARKS.


MY RATING:-                                      4.1/5.0

FORREST GUMP

FORREST GUMP

This awesome movie is about an innocent man who represents how the world should be: he's loyal, humble, honest, he would never cheat or lie. He does everything with good heart and reaches success at the most important tasks of life.

Only in America he could live such an interesting life: meet Elvis Presley, President Kennedy, John Lennon... He goes to Vietnam's war and he does everything following his heart. He becomes an American hero.

Gary Sinise is a great American actor in his best performance too.

MY RATING:-                        4.4/5.0
