The Truman Show
Jim Carey is always a watchable feast.
The Truman Show
Jim Carey is always a watchable feast. But in this performance, he soars by miles.
Yes I agree 100%. Jim Carey's finest performance IMHO, but his other movies I don't like much.Quote:

Up in the air (2009)- The subjects, the premises some directors make movies are wonderful 8-).
Deathly hallows Part 1 :clap:
Camera print :hammer:
Smitten by Emma Watson. Checked out many of her youtube videos last night.
And yeah, Harry has a much better chemistry with Hermione than Ron. It's an underplayed love triangle. Hermione and Harry are similar that they couldn't make their mind about the possibility of such a relationship. They share more similarities that they could be taken into a 'siblings' kind of a relationship. Perhaps also why Ron and Hermione easily buy into being a pair. Such contrast. :)
A short film about killing - Kieslowski
Most interesting looking film I have seen - possibly ever.
Almost made me wish that alone should suffice in a film.

disturbing yet unless you have no clue about Swan Lake you already know of her impending downfall. I wonder if at this point I am just too desensitized to be overly shocked by all the creepy effects... :sigh2:
Am much more fascinated with the focus on the toes en pointe, how the bodies give way to dance, the "prep" done to the ballet flats, the costumes, the background people and how sure they are of their craft, the utterly feminine surroundings of Nat's apartment and belongings....so much pain to create beauty(?)
I must also mention the performance of Barbara Hershey who played Nat's mom. Her performance is at times so intense that you do not know whether you feel disgusted or should you pity her behaviour.
RED - watchable, fun with big names.
if you like this movie, probably, you may like the director's earlier movie also....."thank you for smoking"....I loved it....Quote:

Independence Day: I still like this film. By all means a trendsetter. Always like to take a peek when on TV. The tension is built step by step in the first 45 minutes. Not bad for a summer blockbuster. Willis and Jeff Goldblum - What a cool combo - Brawn and Brain. Special effects are state of the art; especially the mother ship and the other small alien crafts. Lots of cliches, but its ok.
The Jackal: Bruce willis on the other side of the law(Opp to Die hard) and Richard Gere is the hero, Surprise. Not Bad.
SALT - interesting and different
The Bourne Ultimatum: By all means one of the top five films in the last decade. An example for Model Action films. Matt Damon is super fantastic in this role. The stunts are glorious. Desh and Bourne fighting in the apartment is an trophy for stunt co-ordinators. The best shot of the film is Jason Jumping through the window. Did I say how much I love the Last song at the end of the credits.
The Wolfman: Watchable i guess. Benici del Toro and Anthony Hopkins(Ivarukku abnormal roles koduthae imsai pannuvanuga pola) are good. New girl to my like list is Emily Blunt. Super gorgeous and adequate acting from this sweetheart. She is in Adjustment Bureau :cool2:.
Kick Ass: Not bad, Not bad. Funny. Nicholas Cage and her daughter roles are :lol:. So is the hero and his gang of friends.
Bachelor Party (1984) Raunchy as hell. Tom Hanks is a bachelor who decides to get married to his rich girl friend. The girl's parents dont like the idea. The girl's ex boy friend also plans to foil the marriage. Hanks friends decide to throw him a party and all hell breaks loose. Hanks and his antics are super funny. A fun watch for all GUYS, i say :P.
Catch me if you can: Right from Spielberg's Top rack. Hollywood must be greatful to have a great actor called Hanks. Dicaprio is good. His best scene in the film is his conversation with Hanks in France right before he gets arrested. Totally entertaining.
Troy: Good. It's sad that Brad Pitt is known mostly as a star. He is a very good actor. Eric Bana has a great role. Achilles and Hector fight is a top class stunt. Great sets and special effects to boot with.
Meet Joe Black: Brad pitt is Death in this film. He visits Anthony Hopkins when he takes a vacation. He falls in love with her daughter and soon he has to return. Quite an okay film. Little lengthy at 3 hours.
Devil.
karna kodooram. Was texting and facebooking throughout the film. People were :lol: for most scenes especially those with jarring loud music.
The boy in striped pajamas and bad company :) two good movies in a row ....
City of God. :notworthy:
The 6 gig bluray version this time. Seriously, it is worth every second. FXG and aXXo are all gross, relatively.
Six days Seven Nights - watchable :)
Mean girls - fun filled movie :thumbsup:
It's a Wonderful Life
By all counts a padu sumaar film

The 'what if' simulation was interesting but kinda wore out in a few mins.

- very very good. i think this had an altered ending (from the novel). excellent casting.. especially the bumbling Mr.Rogers. he was so believable.
The Big Sleep
Thalai suthiruchu
Too complicated for its own good. It stopped being interesting after a point.
Artificial as it was, I liked the verbal volleys between Bogart and the girls, and others too. Really liked the idea of a detective figuring out as he goes, getting more info than he reveals etc. With some pruning it could have been much more engrossing than it was.
Kiravuso, thangaL karuthu enna?
When writing the chauffers death part, the scriptwriters and the director called Chandler (who wrote the book) and asked who actually killed him, and Chandler replied, "Who the hell knows" :lol:Quote:

It's in my top ten because I'm a Chandler fan, and Bogart was awesome as Marlowe. Chandler, who had someone like Cary Grant in his mind when writing Marlowe, said, that Bogart was an inspiring choice because "he can be tough without a gun". Reminds me of Fleming who also had Grant-like person in mind, hated Connery, and then balti-adichufy after seeing the films and said Connery was good and made Bond half-Scots in the later books.
As for the complex plot, I am still rereading the book :?
Most of the dialogues are taken from the book, especially my fav:
Eddie Mars: Convenient, the door being open when you didn't have a key, eh?
Philip Marlowe: Yeah, wasn't it. By the way, how'd you happen to have one?
Eddie Mars: Is that any of your business?
Philip Marlowe: I could make it my business.
Eddie Mars: I could make your business mine.
Philip Marlowe: Oh, you wouldn't like it. The pay's too small.
