Inception


Hi guyz....the following is the review for te movie inception.....hope you all enjoy it.....



Plot

In a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion, a highly skilled thief is given a final chance at redemption which involves executing his toughest job to date: Inception.Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.


Review

Firstly, before i start of with the review here's something that i want to do. "Now you are asleep and i have implanted an idea in your mind that, 'this is a great movie!!!'. Now when you wake up your conscience is going tell you that its a great movie which techinally comes from your mind but practically the idea is mine....(hahahaha...imagine this happening)


The director of this movie is non-other than Christopher Nolan. Yes, he is the director of Dark Knight.(I admit i am not a fan of batman but the dark night was fantastic) and like its predecessor C.Nolan has managed to produce a mind blowing and exhillarating movie that will keep you on at the edge of your seat. C.Nolan too is also the writer of this wonderful mind teasing plot and script of this movie. His script is so fantastic until you get the feeling that you are some how involved in the movie. The mind blowing lines that i found were when, COBB: "They say we only use a fraction of our brain's true potential. Now thats when we are awake. And when we are asleep our mind can almost do anything.In our dream our mind continuosly does this. We create and percieve our world simultaneously." or COBB:"Now as for inception, before you bother telling me that its impossible".....EAMES:"no!its perfectly possible." or when Arthur says something to the chemist,aka YUSUF's reply is simply:"haha bloody ha.." leaves us in admiration of this piece of unique script. I admit it i have fallen in love or probably even the idea that i love the scrpit of this movie was simply implanted as i wacthed it (LOL).


As for the characters,most of them were fantastic playing thier roles( might i just say all the characters instead of most?).Leonardo di Caprio has done quite well portraying his character with a great deal of depth showing us the insight of his character Dom Cobb. His friend ARTHUR too was one of the show stealers in this movie alongside with our british accent EAMES. Especially when Eames tells Cobb "Great.Thank you.So now we are trapped in fischer's mind battling his own private army. And if we get killed...we'll be lost in limbo till our brains turn to scramble eggs.hmm?" nailed him as one of the best show stealers in the movie and how can i forget the stunning Ariadne and the very cool SAITO. The characters in this movie played very well convincing us that this real!!!


Other than that this movie had an awesome mind blowing plot which gives us the unexpected with very good twists. This movie shows us that everything we planned might not go as it wants and like Cobb said "we must use with what we have". Thier fantastic plan had a little twist and while the plan was being executed there is another twist and so on.The movie just keeps you glued to it without even boring you a bit. The best part of the movie is you do not feel that you are left behind. After every scene you would be wondering what is going to happen with such enthusiasm till it gives you a feeling that you are involved with the movie.(if you are someone like me, once the movie ends you are going to be like OMG...its sooo damn bloody good!!).


Finally, this movie also has an awesome soundtrack which matches almost all the situations.Even the song they play to let the person know that they are about to recieve the KICK!!! was very nice and matching. It gives us a more vivid idea of the movie.We can not only SEE THE MOVIE or HEAR THE MOVIE but we can also FEEL THE MOVIE!!!(how cool si it?). However, the ending of the movie keeps the audience in the dark. Its simply about....Are they still in a dream or Are they in reality??(thats what you would be wondering after watching it till the end). But like i said this idea was probably implanted in my mind..(LOL...). To all those who would wish to end 2010 in a good note my advice to you is to simply watch this fantastic movie especially when its already been nominateed for next year's Golden Globes Award simply known as The Oscars. This movie is wonderful, intelligent, exciting and thrilling!!!

If The Matrix leaves you walking out of the theater asking, "How do I know I'm not in a virtual world?" Inception leaves you wondering, "How do I know I'm awake?" If you're looking for a fun action-packed thrill ride that makes you think, then go see Inception.

My Rating

9.4 out of 10

(ps:if it werent for the ending which leaves you in a doubt this movie would have easliy gotten 9.6)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows PART 1


hi guyz...i watched this movie twice in the theater to write a review...here you go...hope you enjoy it...


Plot

Voldemort's power is growing stronger. He now has control over the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts. Harry, Ron, and Hermione decide to finish Dumbledore's work and find the rest of the Horcruxes to defeat the Dark Lord. But little hope remains for the Trio, and the rest of the Wizarding World, so everything they do must go as planned.As Harry races against time and evil to destroy the Horcruxes, he uncovers the existence of three most powerful objects in the wizarding world: the Deathly Hallows.


Review

As you all know by know that this movie is an adaptation from The Harry Potter book series written by J.K.Rowling. The director is the same as the one who brought the dreadful Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix. But i must say he has truly out done himself making this movie one of the best Harry Potter movies ever to be in production. I admit it after watching the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in the theatre i was worried about this movie cos of the way the director made the movie and the changes he made.But, after my 146 minutes in the theatre i came out with a relief and a belief that that the part 2 will be good too.

The script written by Steve Klove proves to be like most british movies a SHOW OFF!!! But at least the lines in this movie are far more memorable like these lines, Ginny:"Zip me up will you?",damn the twins,have managed to confuse me!!! Fred OR George:"i feel HOLY", Ron:"that ball of light went through me in my chest and after that i know what i had to do"....(a few catchy lines but it has quite an effect). And yes i admit it, the script was a bit better than its predecessors making the movie rather quite enjoyable to watch.


Although the movie was rather enjoyable, i found that Daniel Radcliffe's ability to portray the character lost its charm on and off. He was a bit too delusional while filming this movie i guess. But, nevertheless i must say from all the characters, this time Ron Weasley, played by Rupert Grint showed us what it really feels like to be Ron giving us a insight on the character. Rupert has managed to give a very good on screen performance which deserves some credit. Hermoince Granger played by Emma Watson was convincing too as usual but this time around she provided us with more depth and enthusiasm. As for Ralph Fiennes aka LORD VOLDERMORT's Death Eaters reunion with thier Dark Load was not able to produce the same amount of darkenss compared to the reunion of the Death Eaters in the grave yard form the Harry Potter and the Goblet of FIRE. But, the graphic phython managed to steal the show with its ruthless assaults and killing in which the phython managed to make us, 'the normal audience' jump out form our seats,(well mostly or people like me) or make the graphic geeks say "WOW!!!".


Besides that, the death of Dobby the Noble elf makes quite an impression on audience (ps:made me cry...twice....and i know u are smiling so STOP IT!!!..LOL). The wedding in this movie failed to create the atmosphere that the book was able to provide vividly which was quite disappointing ( but hey, its a movie and they were focusing more on the part where Harry meets Elphias Doge). Other than that, as usual the wand waving and duelling leaves us asking for more! All in all, the movie's soundtrack is superb as especially at the scene where LORD VOLDERMORT takes the ELDER WAND from Dumbledore's tomb. It showed a great deal of darkness spreading which gives you quite a feeling. Moreover like, Hagrid said in the Harry Potter's fifth installment...."There's a storm coming Harry, and when she comes we better be ready!"


And right you are Hagrid, we will wait for the finale of this magical adventure eagerly!!!



My Rating

8.4 out of 10

Red Riding Hood



As you can notice from the movie title they have removed the "little" out of it. So that they can distance themselves from the children fairy tale. Why is a good question? Firstly this movie ain't for kids(GOD,I loved saying it,LOL!). Secondly, the girl who is wearing the red hood ain't little. Thirdly, this movie involves werewolf, not wolf!

One thing is for sure, this movie is far more better than the epic slow motioned failure, Twilight and disaster movie, Sucker punch!

Simple plot, this village is being attacked by a wolf, werewolf! The villagers make a truce with the wolf and the truce is, the villagers must sacrifice their best farm animal every full moon. One day, a villager died and that made the villagers angry. They went to hunt the wolf and in the end they needed a priest's help to kill the wolf. (if i say anymore i would be giving away the twist and suspense,LOL).

The movie stars, with only a few handful actors. Gary Oldman was disappointing onscreen! His character was metaphorically foolish and mentally unstable! Amanda Seyfreid was much more better than Kirsten Stewart of Twilight. She was much more gorgeous and a far more better actor than the latter. As for the others, most of them were a bunch of unknowns, but the rivalry between Henry and Peter was a good one. It was interesting to be seen onscreen!

The movie had an okey script considering their budget and cast. the best part of the whole movie is whenever the Wolf appears. It gives you a feeling of terror!(hahahahahahaha). The CGI effects of the movie could have been better especially with the wolf tearing people apart! These type of movies are the ones that you can just watch for the sole purpose of fun, but even in that calss of movies this one is a one step ahead!Nevertheless, the movie was much more worthwhile than Twilight and Sucker Punch. Recommended for werewolf fanatics! Vampire(ps:twilight) haters! and mos of all those with big pockets who wants to watch movies for fun!

The Last Air Bender aka The avatar.


The movie is directed and written by M.Night Shyamalan. The movie is an adaptation of a popular nickelodean cartoon The Avatar: The Last Air Bender. as you can see our director has even got the names the other way around, which already gives us a feeling about how the movie is going to be like when you watch it. Anyway, the plot is simple.


-Plot

The story follows the adventures of Aang, a young successor to a long line of Avatars, who must put his childhood ways aside and stop the Fire Nation from enslaving the Water, Earth and Air nations. In this case book one.


-Review

The movie started quite slowly and boring but then you had that glimmer of hope that probably that mood will change as the movie goes on like any other normal movie. The movie is partly narrated by Katara's voice one of the main characters in the movie. Other than that, the script of the movie is way too childish. Come on! We know the movie was an adaptation from the cartoon but even the cartoon's script were far more (for the fact way more better) than the movie itself. Our story writer aka the director got too emotional to be a kid when he wrote a story about a kid saving and changing the world and thus you end up with boring movie lines where they talk, talk and talk. For GOD sake its a movie not some literature show! Yes the script of a movie is the core cos that script decides whether the audience laugh at it and say "Hey now thats a good line" but instead the lines in this movie would make you say "What in the world are they trying to tell us". As the movie goes on you will be starting to feel boring and the dialogues are going to get from bad to worse! Moreover, the bending techniques of the water, air, earth and fire itself are very pathetic. Well except for the last part when the war takes place. In the cartoon the bending techniques and the movement of the element in control would blow you away and make you say wow! but in this movie, even with the current technologies of creating greater Visual effects the whole movie crew has failed to deliver the same effect the cartoons did. For a matter of fact they are not even close to achieving it. Although they manage a bit near the end parts of the movie, with every great moments the director gives you a smell of shit. The actors in the movie are puppets not actors cos when they act you shouldnt feel that its a puppet show but instead you should feel the emotions portrayed by the characters themselves but in this movie most of the characters fail to deliver them. Even in the cartoon the villain aka Commander and Admiral Zhao had those characteristics that would leave an impact on you telling that "hey this character is evil, mean,cruel and tough and how is the avatar going to beat him?" but hey that same character in this movie ends up looking like barbie doll given the role to become a villain!!(for the fact even in those barbie doll movies the villians in those movie deliver greater darkness than this one). The only enjoyable character in this whole movie is probably General Iroh aka Prince Zuko's uncle. But too bad cos he only has a few scenes in the movie, which was very disappointing cos even in the cartoon general Iroh had more scenes. Well, i got to admit the movie got a whole lot better at the war. At least near the end bit of the war. However, the movie's soundtrack is something that i would cheer cos the background music played suited the scenes very well and actually could have made the movie a hit only if the lines and the bending and movement of element techniques were better. The last soundtrack for the movie which played in the back ground of the war actually created quite a feeling. Finally, to those guyz that watched in the cinema i feel pity cos this movie aint that worth it. And, if you are a die hard fan of the avatar i recommend you not to watch cos you will be pissed.(PS:just like me). Other than that if you are looking to watch the movie which your child might laugh at and you laughing at the LAME scenes and lines of the movie then go ahead.....

Mother


When I was young, you bred me with milk

When I speak, you give me your ears

While I grow, you stood there in support

While I rise, you showered me in love

While I live , you expect nothing of me

While I cry, you comfort me

and...

When you die, you leave everything with a smile....

Thursday = Thor's day




Hi guyz, I know its been sometime(typical reason: I was busy. LOL)
Well here you go, yesterday I watched THOR and Yes! BOY was I excited. Adopted movies as it is, always makes it a point to change the characters they adopt from book,comics, cartoons and whatever not! But here's the thing, in the end we are going to have to decide did we like that change?

As for this movie, although its sad to see that THOR the MIGHTY, who always wears his helmet(ps:i forgot the name,LOL), with the power of Thunder and Lighting, The only GOD who hates war and the only Norse GOD who is always humble being shown in ways I was never expecting! In the movie, they portray THOR as Brute, Arrogant, War lover and many more which is true, but that THOR is only present when THOR goes into warrior madness. Nevertheless, THOR had a simple plot and a simple story line which is the rivalry between THOR and his Stepbrother, LOKI.

Now lets get to the beginning. The starting of THOR was a bit of slow hyperness. But as the movie played on THOR became better. All the characters in the movie were not good enough to match the comic books one. But I solely blame it on the director for not developing his characters well enough emotionally and mentally. The most painful character was LOKI! In the comics is THE VILLAIN who was so slick,so evil that in his presence you would surely feel the world is at an end! But in this movie THOR, LOKI looks like a circus boy who has been given the role to play villain(ps: I am not saying circus people cannot become great villains because the best villain of all time is THE JOKER!). Natalie Portman who plays Jane Foster, was well ermmm, beautiful and radiant(sorry guyz, i had to mention it! LOL). The other characters had their moments too but they were not well developed.

The movie has its jokes, and it was good. The CGI effects fo the movie was extremely good. Although we didn't get the chance to see THOR using his Thunder and Lightning but at least we were able to see a few glimpses of it, which was beautiful. The realm of Asgard was so beautiful that I wished they would have showed more of Asgard. The simple plot and the simple twist in the movie was the best moments of the movie. At least the rivalry between THOR and LOKI was good. But one of the most disappointing thing in the movie is, THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH FIGHTS!!!! It was like watching a British film where they keep talking and talking with very less action! But in the end I guess, its these things that makes you feel wanting more of this movie THOR! If you are a comic fan of THOR i suggest you watch it, because it ain't as bad as Harry Potter, in fact its 10 times better than Harry Potter.LOL! If you are not a comic fan, you will surely enjoy the movie, erm well like I said you will be wanting more of the movie. LOL!
PS: Don't forget to eat your popcorn while watching the movie!
