Back in the 1950’s 3-D movies were all the rage. Whenever a studio would release a new B-movie horror feature they were faced with the question of whether or not they would make the movie in 3-D or not. Showing a 3-D movie in the 1950’s was very hit or miss, as sometimes the technology would work and sometimes it would not. view source

Only Fools And Horses is one of the most popular British sitcoms ever made. Even though the show ended a few years ago it is still repeated all the time on the BBC and satellite channels because of it’s endearing popularity. So why is this TV series so popular? view source

By now everyone knows the storyline of the movie. The girlfriend is killed. The enraged lover has a problem recalling his memory after fifteen minutes but is nevertheless in pursuit of killer of his love. Contrary to the conventional mode of building up of a Bollywood story this one declares its intent in the beginning and takes on the audience from there. It’s a tall order indeed and Murugadoss the director of both the versions of the movie has acquitted himself rather well but only just. Am I declaring my intent as well? view source

I’ve seen Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story with a great John C. Reilly. It is a parody movie, a spoof of every musical biopic where John as music star Dewey Cox covers every musical style from Elvis to the Beach Boys over five decades. Dialogue and sequences are funny and goofy and the jokes never are boring. Since this is not exactly a review, I won’t tell more about the movie. What I would like to focus on is the philosophy behind the movie. view source

Previously I had made comparisons between the Tamil and Hindi versions of Ghajini with respect to their music. Now, it’s time to get down and dirty and compare the heroes of the two movies - Aamir Khan and Surya. One is an established actor of Bollywood. view source

A fast moving Iraq-War-era military action thriller. An FBI team is sent to Saudi Arabia for a 5 day trip to investigate the head of a terrorist network who killed two FBI agents. Special Agent Ronald Fleury (Jamie Foxx) heads the team rounded off by a hand-picked team of professionals: Grant Sykes (Chris Cooper), Janet Mayes (Jennifer Garner), and Adam Leavitt (Jason Bateman). On the Saudi side, Colonel Faris Al Ghazi (Ashraf Barhom) who escorts the FBI team in Saudi completes the cast. view source

“The Bourne Ultimatum” is not only non-stop spy action flick but also it’s an excellent example of a thriller - a man is on the run for 3 years trying to find out who he is. He is a former CIA agent who volunteered for a top-secret program. Then things did not go as planned and Jason Bourne became a hunted man. I’ve never seen the kind of jumping from the roofs and driving off the roofs scenes in any other film. view source

In “Valkyrie,” one of history’s most famous assassination attempts is celebrity-ized, thus diverting it from its intended impact. The film is continually running its story, in all of its strategies, tactics and anxieties, its heroism, fright and courageous individuals, with its brakes on. For although Tom Cruise performs dutifully, he is without the full subtlety of unique personality force required. And since he is critically deficient in conveying this brave man’s inner force — he’s much more Cruise than Stauffenberg — our attention, again and again, regresses to the actor, not the character. Tom’s not projecting on this one, just being the actor. view source

“I Am Legend (2007)” is a rip-off of Charlton Heston’s cult classic “The Omega Man (1971)” down to the zombies coming out at sundown. But it’s an excellent rip-off thanks to Will Smith’s good acting, and immense production values pumped into this expensive production which was sorely lacking in the original. In this dystopian nightmare of a post-apocalyptic and post-plague New York City, we are treated to the heartbreak of a world with a single survivor, Robert Neville (Will Smith) and his German shepherd (and boy, can that dog act!). Will Smith carries the movie all on his own for quite a while until we come across the first other human-zombie. That’s quite a feat. An inspiring story of human courage, resilience and love in the face of EVERYTHING. If Dr. Neville and Anna could survive this, we all can survive whatever life keeps throwing at us in our daily lives. This is therapy in the form of a movie. This is hope, fine entertainment and art at its best. view source

The movie “Doubt (2008)” is an experience you shouldn’t miss. It’s moral roller-coaster and ethical juggernaut of a story brought to life by two of the finest actors you can find in any country on any continent: Philip Seymour Hoffman (as Father Brendan Flynn) and Meryl Streep (as the sister with the impossible name: Aloysius Beauvier). The very last scene of this great film throws in a monkey wrench to big that you can never see it coming. And the film ends right there, leaving you stunned as though you’re zapped by a taser gun, without any adequate cooling off period to come back to your senses. You’ll go home fighting back your tears and looking deep into your own heart about the way you went through similar situations in your own past, sometimes in flying colors and sometimes in colors that faded fast into mediocrity and moral self-righteousness. You’ll be touched. view source

Hey, cool job, Adam Sandler. We all knew you wanted this change. You got it, man. A really amusing, lotsa laughs, imaginative movie for any age. And just shrug off all the national critics on this; they’re missing the point. “Bedtime Stories’ is just plain fun. view source

A fairly harmless tearjerker for doggie-lovers, “Marley and Me” has virtually no romantic intrigue or other conflicts, therefore no discernible drama. Its humor is generic, not clever but workable, its emotional values superficial but easily accepted, all surrounding the 13-year dog life. view source

Can camp and caricatures get tiresome? Well, yeah, they can, if that’s all there is. “The Spirit” shows that not all comic strips translate well to the big screen. But Frank Miller’s attempt at throwing the late great Will Eisner’s The Spirit onto the screen is never as large as its artwork tries to make it. His “Sin City” or a few years ago was genius; The Spirit is less so. view source

Nationally, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” is getting a score, on the basis of 100 to 0, scores of 100 down to 25, “A timeless masterpiece” to “Unbearably excruciating.” I tend toward the latter. Director David Fincher overindulges himself. In this understandably long, long story, he nonetheless continuously loses a sense of priority as to which scenes need longer times. As a result, so, so many scenes dwell on the screen way beyond their point. view source

I think there’ll always be room in our world for Wikipedia-like completion and encyclopedic perfection for movie reviews. But I’d argue that we also need more authentic movie reviews, exactly reflecting what we felt like when we watched this work of art for the first time. If our experience includes a sense of getting lost and shifting perspectives and projecting our own interpretations on the perceived story line and characterization, let it be. That should only enrich the authentic viewer experience and not impoverish it. After all, when Picasso broke the human figure into a million pieces and put them together in a way that “did not make perfect sense” he enriched the way we perceived the world, didn’t he? Why shouldn’t we attempt to do and allow the same in movie reviews? view source
