AS GOOD AS IT GETS

Comedies (especially romantic comedies) can only be judged by how much they make you laugh and if they make you feel good inside. As Good As It Gets does it for me every time. The characters are so beautifully drawn. The role of an obsessive-compulsive is an easy one to parody and mock to death, but Jack does it with style, humour, emotion, blah  blah ......

As Good As It Gets made me feel so good, even though I couldn't really relate to the characters' situations. The humor is pure Jack, set to the script with perfect ease. The emotions evoked by the actors are also authentic and heart-felt, as if they love what they are acting out. Movies like this come few and far between, and that is the reason why I appreciate this film so very much. As Good As It Gets was one of the best films of NINTEES.......

MY RATING:-                                       4.1/5.0

AMELIE

HERE IS A FILM SO ORIGINAL, SO FUNNY, AND SO WARM THAT IT LEFT ME WITH SMILING FOR HOURS AND THE PEOPLE ON THE SIDEWALK THINKING I WAS CRAZY. 

AMÉLIE POULAIN (AUDREY TAUTOU) IS A YOUNG WOMAN WHO GLIDES THROUGH THE STREETS OF PARIS AS QUIETLY AS A MOUSE. WITH WIDE EYES AND A TINY GRIN, SHE SEES THE WORLD IN A MAGICAL LIGHT, DISCOVERING MINOR MIRACLES EVERY DAY. A SHY AND RESERVED PERSON WHOSE FAVORITE MOMENTS ARE SPENT ALONE SKIMMING STONES INTO THE WATER, AMÉLIE WAS RAISED BY A PAIR OF ECCENTRICS WHO FALSELY DIAGNOSED HER WITH A HEART PROBLEM AT THE AGE OF SIX AND SO LIMITED HER EXPOSURE TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD. NOW A FREE AND INDEPENDENT WOMAN, AMÉLIE WEARS A BOB THAT CURLS IN EVERY DIRECTION AND DRESSES IN RED. WITH A JOB IN A CAFÉ AND AN APTITUDE FOR SPYING ON HER NEIGHBORS, AMÉLIE ENTERTAINS HERSELF BY ENACTING A SERIES OF HOMEMADE, KINDHEARTED PRACTICAL JOKES.

THE MOVIE IS DEEP AND TAKES AMÉLIE'S INNER STRUGGLE SERIOUSLY, BUT IT'S NEVER HEAVY. BRILLIANTLY HILARIOUS, "AMÉLIE" HAS A WONDERFULLY FUNNY SCRIPT AND IS BROUGHT TO LIFE IN VISUAL SPLENDOUR.

MY RATING:-                                                     3.9/5.0

RUNAWAY BRIDE

RUNAWAY BRIDE

IT IS A CUTE ROMANTIC-COMEDY. ANYONE WHO KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THIS GENRE REALIZES AND UNDERSTANDS THIS DOES NOT INDICATE SOME PSYCHO BABBLING FUNNY, TEENAGE, CHICK FLICK. IT IS ACTUALLY BOTH ROMANTIC AND ENTERTAINING. I ENJOYED IT GREATLY. THE UNFORTUNATE PROBLEM WITH REUNITING GREAT ACTORS IN A MOVIE AFTER ALREADY HAVING A SUCCESS IS THAT EVERYONE EXPECTS SOME GREAT MAGIC AND TO RELIVE THAT SAME THING. HOWEVER, EACH MOVIE MUST BE TAKEN ON IT'S ON FRAMES SO THERE….

NOW, WITH THAT SAID, RUNAWAY BRIDE IS GOOD MOVIE. IT'S NOT GREAT, BUT IT IS A GOOD MOVIE. AND IT TOUCHES MANY SUBJECTS THAT ARE LIFE RELEVANT. SURE IT EXAGGERATES IT AND MAKES IT GLAMOROUS BUT ALL MOVIES DO AND IT'S NECESSARY TO MAKE IT BELIEVABLE.

MY RATING :-                            3.4/5.0
