The Twilight Saga: New Moon

A little better than the first in the fluency aspect but it is not a movie that guys will enjoy as girls will but it is still a decent watch.

Orphan

Wasn't sure what to make out of Orphan in the first half,got me laughing few times & some things felt too odd coming from this evil little Esther.I had a feeling there's got to be something going on with this character,so the movie can make some sense in a way or logic.All i have to say is that the twist was a good one & now it makes sense.Is a thought provoking film,perhaps disturbing or twisted for others.It does go to a territory that other horror films haven't been yet.

The Act of Seeing with One's Own Eyes

Fantastic Mr. Fox

A few things I got out of watching this film:
1. A true Wes Anderson film with the dramatic closeups, unsual camera angles and framing, those wonderful music queues, and odd character behavior in a film about a group coming to grips with what makes them unique.
2. A very clever story based on the work of Roald Dahl.
3. Some of the most incredible stop-animation.

Being a tough-minded film that is absolutely suitable for children, Fantastic Mr Fox is also wise enough to be a bigger hit with grown-up audiences. I wanted to hug this film.

Broken Flowers

Very good character study and realistic drama by Jarmusch. The amazing thing is that we don't really know anything about Don. Instead as the movie progress and the mystery deepens we can see him reflected in the women that he visits. Through the subtle performance of Bill Murray and the gentle direction of Jarmusch we can see the emptiness in his life and the threshold of his realisation of it. The movie as a whole gives us just enough motivation not only to contemplate on Don's life but in general on how not to miss living our own lives. That is how an old and emotionaly empty Don Juan affects us. He is the perfect idea of a life no spent.

Bowling for Columbine

Before that movie I was not a huge fan of Moore. While I liked his other documentaries I found him to be a bit of a sensationalist. Boy, was I wrong. This documentary is the best example of his work. Start here so you might take the rest of his documentaries with a grain of salt. In "Bowling for Columbine" the way he portrays USA's greatest problem as being based on fear, is perfect! It offers the right amount of information, the right amount of provocating, the right amount of concern and the right amount of humour. It a leads up to well served food for thought and a quintessential documentary!

Brothers

A mesmerizing, gloomy depiction of a tortured Marine captain's return from duty in Afghanistan to his once happy family.
Natalie Portman, Tobey Maguire, and Jake Gyllenhaal turn in brilliant performances in this film, and the premise is something that needs to be addressed due to the number of soldiers who come back carrying the war with them, and have it flashing consistently in their fragile minds.
Tobey Maguire portrays the Marine captain, and Jake Gyllenhaal portrays his brother who was recently released from prison. As an ex-Marine himself in Vietnam, the father(Sam Shepard) is inclined to favor the son serving his country, but learns that heroes are not only needed on the battlefields of war, but on the battlefields of life itself.

Niñas Mal (Charm School)

This a Mexican movie which is very predictable and has the classic stereotypes that we having seen in many teen movies. The movie delivers a couple of chuckles but nothing more.

Up in the Air

Quietly affecting story about a middle aged confirmed bachelor who makes a living by flying around the country firing people. Romantic comedy takes its time to develop, but as it does, the humor gradually draws the viewer into its easy-going rhythm. Director and screenwriter Jason Reitman's follow up to Juno is a similarly quirky and talky examination of a life. What makes the film so impressive is the witty repartee, particularly between stars George Cooney and Vera Farmiga who plays a sexual liaison he meets while traveling. Together they exhibit a playful sexiness that is surprisingly poignant. Cast also features relative newcomer Anna Kendrick in a breakout performance as a fast-rising recently hired co-worker. Occasionally the dialogue can be a bit pedantic, but it's also that concern for detail that makes these characters so humorous and moving.

Drugstore Cowboy

Matt Dillon delivers a brilliant performance as the leader of a small group that robs drugstores for the drugs they live for. Bob's(Dillon) superstitious antics are quite effective, and really capture the feel of a paranoid, outlaw drug user. However, they are too silly to be taken seriously.
A drama with the appropriate humor, perfect cinematography, and a memorable cameo by writer William S. Burroughs who portrays a junkie man of the cloth.
Kelly Lynch plays Bob's unsatisfied wife and close partner in crime. Heather Graham and James LeGros play a young couple who are tagging along to help and learn how to steal, but their dubious beliefs in Bob's superstitions are tested, and shows that the drug addled Bob may not be far from the truths he clings to in his desolate journey as an addict of the early 1970s.

RocknRolla

The movie is clever as well as engaging, due to the valid performances from a cast that is at the best. Not a masterpiece of course but a work having style, energy and filled with whizzing visual gags and graphics.

National Lampoon's Animal House

The movie has a fun cast, some good jokes, some classic scenes, and enough nudity to make it interesting for guys but plot-less and not as funny as some of its copies.
