Sunshine Cleaning
(2008)

A lovely tragic movie
I really enjoy such movies so hence I am not sure if everyone else would feel the same way. The movie is a journey through the life of a maid who decides to do something more in her life and the hindrances and the experiences she has. I think its a motivational film for many people who r waiting to do something more with their lives.

I think Amy Adams looks beautiful and has really played a great character. And Albuquerque was done well too... I live there now so I enjoyed it.

If you are depressed about your life or feel down about stuff watch the movie maybe it will give you some thoughts on life and beyond...

Bride Wars
(2009)

Now that is a chic flick
I believe this is what truly defines a 'girly' movie... It obviously about brides and whatever stuff they love and need, and from what I can figure most of the women (including the 4 women that dragged me there) in the theater enjoyed it.

I do agree it is an original idea and does give esp the males out there the sheer intensity of how important this occasion is for women, and also to a certain extent why women may make good friends but the worst of enemies.

Overall I give it a 6 on 10 due to a lot of predictability and clichés but I did like the chemistry of the 2 leads stars, the others characters seemed rather bland in fact entirely devoid of personality.

Perhaps the only scene for men to enjoy is the bachelorette party - you 'll see - ;) Hathaway looks smokin' hot.

V for Vendetta
(2005)

Original Score
First movie in which you never see the lead role, but truly gorgeous screen play and OH MY LORD Natalie's beauty surpasses all expectations - how many bald hotties can you think of - makes u fall in love with her.

And most of all finally an original score. Great screenplay - great action - and reflection of the present day world and its relationship to 9/11 and Iraq - don't miss this on the big screen.

If there is one scene i love the most it has to be the domino scene, let me know how many of you agree with me on that. I guess the one thing I do wonder about is that although we are supposed to be in the future apparently the cops are driving rovers from the 90s. Nevertheless shouldn't miss this one - after all one good movie comes along every 1-2 yrs now

easy 10 on 10.

Batman Begins
(2005)

Kicka**
Now thats what I call a good action thriller. Fun for everyone - women, kids and of course men... Brilliant action sequences - somewhat believable gadgets... and oh yeah an awesome car chase. I think this movie has it all - but if u notice surprisingly there is a lot of similarity to Spidey... even the last scene with Katie kissing and saying something along the lines of with great power comes great divorce rates... Anyway fun for the entire family - its not a comic book its a movie with a story line and of course Gotham city - which I always wonder - is it on the east coast or west? Please watch it and savor it while watching - take your entire family or group of friends - buy the popcorn and get the best seats... best movie this yr - so far at least.

Hitch
(2005)

Good comedy - romance
Not really a complete chic flick... give some guys ideas about how to plan better dates and better excuses for starting conv. I thought it was kinda creative in many ways.

Cast was great and story line was all in all simple... yet entertaining. One of the better romantic comedies in the last few mths. If you do go to watch it... good idea to take a girlfriend or date along... u should also manage a kiss out of this movie at the end of the day...

Oh and i think the food allergy scene was quite original.

Definitely worth the $9.50.

50 First Dates
(2004)

Truly Original score...
I would call it the romantic comedy version of memento... but truly great fun and lots of laughs...

In the world of romantic comedies... someone finally made a breakthru from the usual ideas...

Big Fish
(2003)

Fabulous...
Absolutely heart warming and fabulous...

One of the weirdest movies - but it almost makes you cry and I have no understanding how or why this movie manages to have such an outstanding emotional effect but an amazing tale told in the uniquest way possible...

Go watch it - best 2.5hrs i spent in the past few mths.

Intolerable Cruelty
(2003)

Romance for the heartless...
I just finished viewing this movie, and I usually do not make comments about many movies but I must say that this movie caught my undivided attention.

It was charming and interesting from GO... and well to say the least kept you guessing till perhaps the last twenty minutes. The movie is perhaps there to make a mockery of all the people who believe in blind and 'true' love... and makes some of us more shallow and materialistic humans feel more at home.

I would recommend this movie to anyone who is tired of watching same old romantic comedies in which everyone is sweet sincere and loving. This would be one in which none of the parties are either sincere, faithful or madly in love (for most of the time at least)

I would give it a 9 out of 10.

The Last Castle
(2001)

Every Castle has a king.
Well I went in rather skeptical, but rest a short... this movie... is not boring. It starts of well and till the last moment it is one of the best movies I have seen (and that is a lot) I dont even understand why its getting an avg rating of 6.6.

Robert Redford was classic, the perfect general, and the setting made it the perfect battleground.

If any of you liked Gladiator or Braveheart or even Shawshank Redemption there is no way you wont like this movie.

I would advise almost everyone to watch this movie. You cannot regret it.

Bridget Jones's Diary
(2001)

I expected too much
Well I went in thinking I was about to watch a soothing and enlightening romantic comedy like Notting Hill and Four Weddings & a Funeral. I am afraid, that yes I was disappointed.

I just felt Miss Jones is too much of a 'dumb blonde' - I mean no one is this dumb in real life... but yes there were the funny moments.

Bottom line: watch it - but don't expect it to be the best 'date' movie of the year.
