Vantage Point (2008)
Awesome movie!
I loved it! Amazing, amazing film. It almost had my heart racing at some bits, and it was really well put together. 2007 and early 2008 have been really full of crappy action movies, and I haven't felt really happy with a movie in a long time, so take my word for it, it's really great. Lots of exhilarating car chase scenes, plot twists, etc.. And Dennis Quaid and Matthew Fox really make the film worth seeing, although Forest Whitaker's role kind of made me scratch my head (he seemed a little bit creepy in my opinion). I felt like I was seeing the president get shot first-hand, and I almost forgot that it was a movie that I was watching... Awesome movie, I loved it!
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
A great beginning!
How could you not love this movie? It was a great beginning to one of the best stories ever told on screen (and in writing!). Based on J.R.R. Tolkien's "trilogy", the 3 films that make up "Lord of the Rings" are incredible. However, the other two films would be NOTHING if it hadn't been for Peter Jackson's work in "The Fellowship". If it hadn't attracted as many people as it did, the other movies wouldn't have been hits! The film follows the story of Frodo Baggins, a hobbit who has to embark on a dangerous quest to destroy the Ring of Power, which was forged by the evil Sauron. The ring is powerful, and if it falls into the wrong hands, doom will come. Frodo must destroy it in Mount Doom (a volcanic mountain), where it was made. It's a journey he cannot make alone, so he has the help of Samwise Gamgee, Gandalf (the wizard), Merry and Pippin (two hobbits that offer comic-relief), Aragorn (who plays a larger role in "The Return of the King", as does Sam), Boromir of Gondor, Legolas (who makes all the girls in the audience go "whoo") and Gimli (the humorously rough dwarf). The movie is full of action, and certain points where interesting dialogue is made (especially between Gandalf and Frodo, in the ruins of Moria). I recommend that you watch this film, because not only has won Academy Awards, but the whole project itself is something that no one has ever done before.
Minsaara Kanavu (1997)
One of the Best Tamil Films
I loved this film, which I watched quite awhile back, but still remember very clearly. All the songs were excellent, including amazing dance sequences (props to Prabhu!), and Kajol was beautiful, as always. One of the best songs in the movie includes a parade, great choreography with both Prabhu and Kajol. In the film, Kajol's character wants to become a nun, and is dedicated to God. However, Arvind's character loves her, and would do anything to have her love him, so he hires another guy (Prabhu) to do the work. As it turns out, Prabhu's character falls in love with her. So now, the girl is caught between two guys while she is aspiring to become a nun. And when you're a nun, there is no time for men...so it seems like the perfect solution. However, she is torn between her choices... I recommend that you watch this movie, because it has a great plot, a WONDERFUL ending, great music and all in all, it's just plain entertaining!
The Hughleys (1998)
Awesome!
I think it's a great show! Really funny, I just keep laughing. I don't know why it's not very popular; I like the jokes...The only people in the show who aren't funny are the friends of the Hughleys (Dave & Sara, I think their names are. Those people are so uninteresting that I don't even know their names!). Milsap is pretty good, but Darryl is the funniest. I think it's a nice change from the usual 'American Family' sitcom (I guess because it's probably the only sitcom other than "My Wife & Kids" and "Bernie Mac" that is about an African-American family). I think it's hilarious, and enjoy seeing the reruns (I never even heard of the show while it was actually running).
Every Woman's Dream (1996)
not very good
I found it kind of boring...then narration...and in the beginning especially, the filming wasn't all that great. It's the type of movie that you could probably watch when you're at home, and there's nothing great on TV. It's about this man, Mitch Parker, who's leading a double life. He married a woman (with two children from a previous relationship), and marries another woman (whom he has met on a plane, played by Kim Cattrall from "Sex and the City"). He lies, cheats and cons people. The reason the movie was boring was because the filming was dull. For a movie made in 1997, it looked like something made in the early 90's (to me, anyway). I got so bored with it that near the end, I didn't really want to watch it anymore.
Jean de Florette (1986)
Pretty Good
I watched it as a necessary part of my French course (we were reading the novel), and I liked the film. I think that Jean's frustration was portrayed excellently, and that the movie was very faithful to the book. Watching this movie, you'll feel pity for Jean, due to the 'nature vs. man' theme, and his unnecessary difficulties (if he only knew about the spring!). Daniel Auteuil really suits his role; he looks like an Ugolin, the pathetic man who tries to get rich at Jean's expense. I don't know what else to write (I'm trying to meet the 10 lines minimum rule)--You need to watch "Manon des Sources", the 'sequel', which I haven't watched yet.
