Marvin's room (2008)

Marvin's room turned out to be a brilliant movie assisted well by a great performance by some veteran actors like Meryl Streep, Diane Keaton, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro ( although he wasn't the center of attraction as he was the doctor ).

Meryl Streep and Diane Keaton are two sisters who have estranged each other for 20 years and Diane calls upon her sister to take care of their father as she herself realized that she was suffering from Leukemia. Leonardo portrays the character of Hank who does not get along with his mother Meryl on account of her abusive behaviour. Diane Keaton wants Meryl to take care of her Aunt Roth and their father when she would be gone. Meryl portrays a mean woman who is afraid of responsibilities and is troubled by the deliberate acts of her son Hank (Leo). The movie is a beautiful depiction of how Meryl Streep decides to eventually aid her dying sister by stepping into her shoes and taking enough pluck to set things right between herself and Hank.

Diane Keaton and Meryl Streep acted exceptionally well not to forget Leo. Altogether their performance was brilliant. I was touched by the movie. I'd rate it a 7 on 10. It was certainly one of the finest flicks that I've watched.

My Sassy girl (2008)

My Sassy girl turned out to be an 'okay' movie although I expected more
from it. The way the story went had me rooted but eventually it failed
to keep me occupied as there was a lack of emotions and the apparent
emotional touch that should be normally present in any romantic movie,
was missing. The separation between the two protagonists should have
been a little more touching which as a matter of fact didn't happen
because of the lame performance from both of them i.e. Elisha Cuthbert
as well as Jesse Bradford ( No offense .... but I still think it could
have been much better ).
I have been told that the actual Korean movie from where this flick was taken was far better than this one as it possessed a lot of emotions plus a great performance by the actors. You would enjoy the movie half way through albeit eventually you would
realize that wasn't a damn good reason buddy ! Plus I hate to mention it but the old man spoils the fun in the last moments wherein he deliberately mentions that the letter would bring her down in tears which suggested it to be a pretty good god damn letter, which it wasn't. So that was a party pooper which fell on real hard spoiling the fun altogether. Well although Elisha Cuthbert happens to be one of my
favourites (I can't rate her movies just because of that eh !) I would
give it a 5 on 10.

Atonement (2007)

This movie brought me in tears. The story was well written and impeccably directed. Joe Wright certainly created a master piece. Ian McEwan should be equally credited and praised as he came up with such a brilliant story.

Atonement is a story about an act of penance that Briony Tallis ( Cecilia Tallis's younger sister ) does in order to punish herself for a sin that entailed separating two lovers Robbie Turner and Cecilia Tallis ( James Mcavoy and Keira Knightley ) by a wrong decision of hers in the past. A man who was falsely accused of a crime, Robbie Turner ends up in jail and after which he goes to war during the German invasion thus getting his dream of joining medical school shattered. Cecilia leaves her family for Robbie and waits for his return from the war. Briony's false and juvenile accusation changes the lives of them for which she, after the realization of the truth, feels extremely sorry and thus tries to atone herself by giving up her further studies and working as a nurse. It is a very emotional story that would definitely compel you to sympathize with the characters of Robbie and Cecilia. A drama with emotions. It is something that tells us about the human mind. How abominable it is. How fickle emotions are. They can obscure the truth no matter how clear things are. Hatred, envy and wrath - they alone can bring down the world. They can mess up the life of those who stand in the way and one might not even get an opportunity to atone for those awful feelings.

The screenplay was brilliant. The music was equally apposite.
The pace of the movie was really well thought of. The moments of silence really gushed in thousands of thoughts to my brain. What if nothing had gone wrong ? What if the real miscreant was put behind the bars ? While I watched wishing things to end happily it certainly did not albeit it brought a sour taste eventually but it also came with a queer satisfaction of the act of atonement nourishing itself though with some bitter tinge of reality attached with it.

The photography was lovely. The plight of the soldiers was well depicted during the time of the war. I didn't find anything wrong with the movie. It was well thought of and was well directed. An 8 on 10 would be my rating for this flick.

Donnie Darko (2001)

Richard Kelly wrote an amazing story, perfectly interpreted the same and presented it in the finest way possible. Donnie Darko is a sci-fi drama with an amazing storyline. I was pretty fascinated by Jake Gyllenhaal's acting. He was perfect for the role and he played the character of Donnie very convincingly. This movie is an explicit depiction of surrealism playing with the extreme possibilities of scientific facts not to forget a fine performance by Jake Gyllenhaal and the hero he gets to be, setting things right. Jake plays the role of a kid who has been chosen to maintain the time continuum by placing an artifact ( jet engine ) back into it's actual time.

The story begins on October 1,1988. The intro manifests Donnie waking up at a hill-side as he has been sleep walking and he returns home smiling that suggests he is aware of the things that have been happening.He creates an imaginary friend Frank-Bunny who however turns out to be a related character in the movie as 'The manipulated dead'. On October 2nd a jet engine crashes in his room although his sleep walking habits or here Frank-Bunny saves his life. The jet engine that had crashed in his room was actually the one from October 30th which had been time-corrupted and ends up in the past. All the events from thereon turn out to be happening in a different universe called Tangent universe. Now Donnie is supposed to set things right with the assistance of a wormhole that is supposed to take the jet engine back to where it came from i.e. 30th October. The moment that would happen the time would reset and things would go on normally as in present universe albeit that would come with a cost.

The characters in the story are well depicted. Patrick Swayze plays a writer who is well demolished by Jake by his arrogant comments as his theories according to Jake were pathetic. Maggie Gyllenhaal plays Jake's sister. Daveigh Chase is his little sister who is a dancing enthusiast. Drew Barrymore plays the English teacher who happens to be the only sane being according to Jake in the movie.


Everyone was scared by the 'thoughtful' Darko. His quest provides him with the knowledge about wormholes, time travel, etc. which ultimately elucidates him the thing that he was supposed to do albeit well assisted by the book 'The philosophy of time travel' written by the character Roberta Sparrow or Grandma Death as Donnie used to call her.

The movie is quite surreal and there are a million possible explanations as per the events suggested in the movie. I'd rather go with the one I fathomed. I watch this flick again and again as every time I do, something important that I might have probably skipped pops up and bingo! a new mystery gets unravelled. I'd recommend only the sci-fi enthusiasts to go for it coz those expecting a lot of action in the movie are sure to be disappointed. I personally liked the movie very much and would rate the movie an 8 on 10.

Remember me (2010)

I was literally blown away when I saw this drama. I had seen the trailer of the flick earlier and had a notion that the movie wasn't gonna be that good but apparently I was proved wrong. I really liked the movie. The story was perfectly woven by Will Fetters.

There were some great performances in the movie. Robert Pattinson did the lead character alongside Emilie de Ravin, Chris Cooper and Pierce Brosnan. Pattinson had lost his brother and was not on good terms with his father Pierce Brosnan as Pattinson claimed that his father didn't love his family as he didn't have time for his family. Parallel to that goes another story of Emilie de Ravin and her dad Chris Cooper. She had lost her mother when she was quite young. The intro depicts how her mother was murdered right in front of her eyes on the subway. Robert's character is a violent one. He gets into fight quite often. He stopped caring about his life ever since his brother, whom he loved more than anything, committed suicide while working under his father. He nurtured a grudge for his father while Pierce had his ways of manifesting love which obviously he didn't want to show as is depicted in the later stages of the movie. A romantic love story between Emilie de Ravin and Robert Pattinson runs alongside. There's a surprise in the end of the movie for everyone and must I say it wasn't a pleasant one.

I really liked the flow of the movie, the cinematography and the music was amazing. Chris Cooper, Pattinson and Pierce are the ones to watch out for in the flick coz of their brilliant performances. Hats off to Allen Coulter for the flick and not to forget the cast who actually made it possible for the movie to score. I'd recommend all of u to go for this one and 'd rate this flick a 7 on 10.

The Forgotten (2004)

This flick was an amazing story which entailed Julianne Moore cast as Telly Paretta who was told that her child never existed albeit she had all the memory of her child. There was a bigger enemy at play who certainly didn't want her to remember her own child. She was compelled to run as the people involved looked mysterious to her as they wanted her badly to succumb.

The story was certainly enigmatic and it really blew my mind as I neared the ending where the whole mystery unraveled. Julianne Moore was at her best in the flick well supported by Gary Sinise and Dominic West. Dominic West played an important character in the movie as well. He plays the guy whose memory was played upon by the enemy, an endeavour to make him forget his own daughter, which however didn't happen - all thanks to Julianne Moore. He accompanies her in the quest to find answers of the unthinkable act.

The climax is the best part in the story when gradually things start to unravel itself eventually. It was a joy to watch the mystery unfold and it certainly didn't disappoint me as the ending seemed perfect as well. It was an impeccable job. The screenplay was awesome.

I would rate the movie a 7 on 10 coz boy I liked it. I would also recommend everyone to go for it as it was totally captivating.

The Island (2005)

Things are really getting better with Michael Bay. As a director he has
come up with some brilliant movies like Pearl Harbor,Armageddon,The
Rock, Bad Boys and I must say I don't regret watching a single one. All
those movies were simply amazing and The Island happens to be one from
the same box. I was dumbstruck when I saw The Island coz I wasn't
really expecting so much action and such a brilliant storyline not to
forget the works of the actor Ewan McGregor, Sean Bean , Djimon Hounsou
and Scarlett Johansson. They carried the movie through with such an
enthusiasm that I was really surprised at Bay's work. Bay as a producer
albeit has come up with certain poor projects not to mention his latest
craze with the horror and the thrill ones. But as a director I think he
is a genius.Well so he proved by making such a flick.

In the story of the Island Ewan Mcgregor and Scarlet Johansson realize
that they were simply clones and that they were harvested and in fact
simply a 'product' which forces them to unveil the secret of the dirty
work that Sean Bean was the head of. They make a sprint towards the
outer world to save their lives as well as of the others too.

I'd rate the movie an 8 coz I sort of enjoyed it very much. I wish Bay
directs more movies like this and concentrate more on his direction coz
Boy he directs just fine.

The Last Airbender (2010)

So this one was another flick by M. Night Shyamalan. I must admit in the beginning I was not that big a fan of Shyamalan's work although there have been several movies by him which I've appreciated a lot like - "The Sixth Sense","The Village" and "Unbreakable". The only thing that I like about him is the way he thinks. As a writer I consider him as one of the unique thinkers of all time. Although he fails to make it big at the box office he still manages to woo the public by his story.

This movie however happens to be an adaptation although it certainly fails to create that magic. There were only a few good things about the movie. One of them was special effects. I was surprised to see 'A Shyamalan movie' with nice special effects.

I must say only the 'story' looked promising. Eventually they leave you with a hint for a sequel(well looking at this fiasco I doubt that there is going to be any). The pace of the movie was very slow and I yawned quite a lot. I was awakened once in a while by the 'almost promising' air bending and water bending effects and not to forget the dumb Bison which flew on the screen every now and then. The movie reminded me of 'The Secret of Moonacre' only with a tinge of action in it. However the action was not good enough either.

Noah Ringer seemed pointless till the end. I doubt if 'he' knew what was going on in the movie. Dev Patel tried his best but hey he is not a superhero after all. If the movie is poor then the chances of someone saving it from sinking at the box office goes to a cipher.

One thing I must say is that it could have been made better if a little bit of 'interest' was appended to their drinks coz all of the actors seemed lacking interest in their acts. The action scenes could have been made better. Little stories about the spirits and stuffs like that could have been narrated with interest. Occasional blackouts when moving from one scene to another could have been made more interesting than going to a new one silently. Because people believe in living the movie and not simply staring at it as if they are supposed to. That enthusiasm and zeal was missing from the movie. The Avatar was really getting on my nerves as he failed every now and then in bending the water. It became a little bit interesting in the end but my zeal soon died when they made us realize that the Avatar is not supposed to harm any soul. So there you go. All that trouble for nothing.

It became so pathetic that when eventually I saw the surprise in the end I could only say,"Okkkaaaaaaaay !". Thats it.

The decision ?? I leave it for the readers.

30 days of night: Dark days (2010)

I was actually looking forward to this movie. The first one really had blown me away. I was expecting Melissa George to continue the sequel as Stella but unfortunately they had picked Kiele Sanchez for the lead role. The story was pathetic and was lacking the thrill which was present in the earlier one. The "30 days of night"(first one) had really fascinated me beyond limit as it had its moments. The eerie environment in the earlier one and a superb performance by Josh Hartnett not to mention the air of fear that it had created really blew my mind. I was scared beyond limit however this movie fails to bring the kudos. It not only failed to create the magic but also spoiled the entire story which possibly could have been a lot better if it hadn't been for a bunch of Vampire hunters who were hunting down a so called queen named Lilith which was the main root of all the vampires. The killings manifested in the movie were merciless. However the reason that the earlier one scored was utterly missing in the second part. I don't fathom why the movie was not handed over to David Slade instead, who could have created the magic once again had he handled the project. Ben Ketai spoiled the entire fascination in me. I am getting a premonition- if there is another sequel on the cards ( as the ending suggested ) it wouldn't be that amazing as the first one even if Josh Hartnett would be chosen back to act (which I doubt would happen after watching the 2nd one). The movie was really lacking the lustre the first one retained. I wouldn't recommend watching this one. I'd rate this one a 4 on 10.

Killers (2010)

Although Killers didn't score well on the story what it certainly did was winning my appreciation as a good- situational comedy.
I think Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl shared a wonderful chemistry between them. Ashton was at his best in this one however it was Katherine Heigl that definitely managed to grab everyone's attention. There is a certain way about Katherine Heigl that I adore. She is perfect for clumsy and humorous roles. She always manages to keep smile on our faces by playing a funny character which is exactly what she did in the movie. Her character in 'The Ugly Truth' was equally wonderful and hilarious.(Kudos to Katherine as she has discovered the secret of comedy)
The movie however didn't retain a good story line and it had nothing new to offer. But there were some great funny moments in the movie and as a movie fan I'd recommend this movie to all the viewers and brand this flick as a one-time-watch.

Basic (2003)

From the trailer it was hard to make out how intricate the movie
actually was. I had earlier taken it to be an army movie that was sure
to showcase some war-like situations. However I was proved wrong when I
actually found the movie to be a sort of a thriller. The story retains
a training program which turns out to be chaotic when all those rangers
who had stepped down to train in the formidable forest area end up
shooting each other except for two fellow rangers. The mystery was
slowly revealed by two fellow Rangers as to what really happened in the
woods while training, both leading the story to a different direction.
They both were trying to complicate things by telling their part of the
story which although seemed true but in fact wasn't. John Travolta was
called on to interrogate the two rangers who had survived from a
training facility region(which turned out to be a battleground as there
were those who shared a grudge for Samuel Jackson while those who
considered it inhumane to kill him) and ended up killing the rest in an
accident as the story of those survived rangers suggested. Connie
Nielsen however had the habit of snooping around and so figures out the
rest of the mystery eventually which was an eye-opener. Find out for
yourself what the actual mystery was as I was really surprised to find
out the consequences eventually myself and would recommend everyone to
watch the movie. I'd rate the movie 7 for the suspense as I kind of
like watching movies that has something thrilling to offer.

Get him to the Greek (2010)

Another good piece by Nicholas Stoller. The movie was certainly well
written not to forget a brilliant acting performance by Russell Brand
and Jonah Hill. Jonah was supposed to bring an out-of-control rock star
to the L.A. Greek theater. Though the job seemed to be a piece of cake
it certainly wasn't. Brand happened to be a drug addict not to mention
the fact that he was a sex machine and that his every body part craved
for orgies. Bringing Brand to the Greek really proved to be a Herculean
task for Jonah. There were a lot of guest appearances in the
movie although some might have gone uncredited. Pink, Lars Ulrich, Christina Aguilera, Pharrell Williams and others were spotted. Sergei, played by P. Diddy was certainly another great
performance as a pissed off boss. There were so many HAHA moments in
the movie and I was laughing out loud. There was this 'Jeffrey' a weed
that would make one insane.It was the God of Weed. It happened to be
the cause of some hilarious moments in the movie. Rose Byrne played
Brand's love interest who leaves her in the beginning following his
downfall albeit Brand decides to take a pit stop in order to bring her
back. The movie takes you on an adventure wherein Jonah ( a big fan of
Aldous(Brand) in the movie ) has to bring Aldous to the Greek theater
although deterred by all the temptations entailed in the way but
eventually has to bring him there so as to fulfill the assignment
allotted by Sergio (his boss) which happens to be dream job for him.

Raod to Perdition (2002)

Road to Perdition was certainly a brilliant movie that scores in every aspect. Sam Mendes directed another great movie after American Beauty which completely took my breath away. The cast chosen was also very great which had big names like Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, Daniel Craig, Jude Law, Jennifer Jason Leigh etc. The story was written in a brilliant manner and not to forget the beautiful cinematography for which the movie bagged an Academy award. The music was very soothing to the ears and Sam used the score properly at the right places which really turned out to be perfect. Tom Hanks played the role of Michael Sullivan who happens to be a hit-man and who along side his son Michael Sullivan Jr. avenges the murder of his wife and kid. He doesn't want his son to become like him although in order to take revenge he teaches his son to drive and robs off the banks with the black money of his enemy. The scenes wherein Tom enters the bank serenely and offers the bank manager a part the plundered amount was a joy to watch. Paul Newman was really good as he always is in his acts. He tries to protect his son Daniel Craig and pays the price eventually. Jude Law is hired to kill Tom Hanks. He gets to taste the wrath from Hanks par as his face gets mutilated in a cross fire. However in the end all the murderers die without Sullivan Jr.'s hands getting dirty. The story was wonderful and the direction was even more brilliant. Overall I liked the movie very much.

The Expendables (2010)

The Expendables had a lot of action so much that they forgot to give a good motive behind all the hullabaloo. The movie retained the finest action figures one could only dream of putting together in one frame and that was exactly what Sylvester Stallone did. Watching Sylvester guiding a bunch of mercenaries was a joy in itself and that too action heroes like Jet Li, Jason Statham, Randy Couture and Terry Crews. Steve Austin maintains his dignity by beating the crap out of Sylvester Stallone but eventually ends up as a victim to Randy Couture (Austin was a bad guy in the movie so that was bound to happen..... Stop giving him such roles!).

Jason Statham manifested some great skills in there with his awesome fighting style. Jet Li augmented himself to the list of fighters by beating the hell out of the bad guys. Dolph Lundgren was asked to leave the group because of which he fires back at Sylvester and Jet Li but ends up getting shot ( not killed as he rejoins the team eventually ). Eric Roberts poses himself as the bad guy with Steve Austin watching his back every now and then.

I was highly disappointed because of the limited roles of Arnold and Bruce Willis. It was a real bummer when I found Mickey Rourke sitting and relaxing as well and not getting himself entailed in the ruckus. The villains end up in a snap and the whole story ends up abruptly albeit an intelligent script could have scored better. In my eyes however the movie scores because of its action scenes. The conversation of Arnold and Sylvester was hilarious although short but a nice one. I wish Arnold,Bruce and Mickey get to do more than a mere talk if supposedly there is a sequel on the cards. Also the action that was supposed to come from the tough guys in a scintillating manner came up pretty lame ( that of Sylvester mainly ). Although the movie had a poor story line it wasn't that bad as I found it really entertaining. I would recommend those who are big fans of these guys because watching them in action and that too together isn't something that happens daily.

After Life (2009)

After Life is a story of a psychopath which is craftily played by Liam Neeson who happens to be a funeral director intent on killing the undead. Christina Ricci plays the damsel in distress character who is truly loved by her boyfriend Justin Long. There is a rift between the two and she ends up dead ( as Liam tells her ) in a car accident. She is fooled into believing that she is dead which as a matter fact wasn't true and that Liam had drugged her at the time of the accident forcing the doctors to report her dead. Justin Long however had this weird connection with her and so he didn't give up on her. He keeps on pestering the police as he was a lawyer to get a search warrant as he smelled something fishy in the funeral house. Meanwhile the desire of Christina to escape the building is suppressed by Liam the psychopath who justifies in his own ways and reassures her that she is indeed dead. A fellow student of hers named Jack however ends up staring her at the window alive and breathing but Liam Neeson however takes care of that quite easily by brain washing the poor lad ( I must say Jack's gonna walk on the psychopath's path for sure if there are any sequels to come ). It is quite too late when she realizes that she wasn't dead and provoking Justin Long eventually does nobody any good. So that's it. The movie ends sadistically but with a brilliance that doesn't go unnoticed. I don't fathom one thing - The fact why Justin Long ends up doing 'exactly nothing' in such type of thrillers. He poses as the hero but loses each time he tries to help. See what he did in Jeepers Creepers and Drag me to hell. Nothing. I mean why does he even get a role when he is supposed to make matters worse in the end ? I must say Liam Neeson did a great job once again. The serene and calm funeral man really stole the show as he never even used violence to get his work done which on the contrary in movies where psychos are entailed people generally go for the kill. The movie reminded me of the finest psychopath created ever - Hannibal Lecter however the movie stands way behind compared to the classic. The story was however out of the box and so I kind of liked it. The climax was good and it really carried it through however I expected a happy ending eventually which never came and I was a bit disappointed I must confess. However it was good with its pace and the thrill was well hidden. It was a total entertainment I must say.

She's out of my league (2010)

Jay Baruchel plays the character of Kirk who is a failure in the game of love and who is rated a 5 by his friends who also rate Alice Eve as a hard 10 ( dude she deserves it!). The movie is about a guy who thinks the girl is out of her league and that he won't be able to get her however the girl takes an interest in him instead. Kirk's lack of confidence (as Baruchel depicts himself as a total jerk) and of course the ratings of his friends lowers down his expectations and makes him question his self-esteem. He keeps on considering the fact that he did not deserve a girl like her in his life. There are some funny moments in the movie as well. The scene at the dining table and the one in the plane were really humorous. I fell of my seat at the spot when Jay Baruchel abuses his entire family after a long speech and tries to get off the plane but ends up sitting next to them with the middle finger of Dylan (his brother) at his face. I found Kyle Bornheimer really funny. His lines were great and I found myself laughing out loud. Kirk was at times pathetic with his demeaning acts but if you are in the movie you will definitely get used to it. The theme of the movie was good which I think carried the movie through. There were some great hilarious moments in the movie thanks to the presence of his friends like Stainer and Devon. Overall the movie deserves a 7 as a romantic comedy. I'd recommend all the movie lovers to go for it as the movie is really worth watching. Guys will definitely fall in love with Alice Eve which I think is a surety watching my case.

Eclipse (2010)

I happen to be a fan of The twilight saga and comparing all the three of them I must say I liked the third one the most.Here at least Kristen Stewart has come out of her role of a pointless dame who she happened to be in the past two movies.She had in the past got her stuck to this sluggish persona which I hated the most.As the story however plays with her character and the difficult choice she had in front of her of choosing between Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson was a joy to watch. I've started to like Taylor Lautner, as my sympathy lies with him because of the fact that he has become a one side lover and he has still not given up.His die hard capability really is fascinating.It was a joy to watch Lautner stealing Pattinson's girl in the tent and of course by the apparent kiss that Lautner was asked for by Stewart. The movie has got more action than the past two movies and I loved it.Victoria comes back to take her revenge but eventually she has to pay and was slain by Edward with Bella's assistance. I'd recommend everybody to go for it coz the movie is not bad at all. I don't know whats wrong with the others who are criticizing the movie like hell. I think it was a good movie and I can't wait for the fourth one. The twilight saga is certainly a captivating series and its a real joy to watch the romance of Edward and Bella with a mist of Jacob in it.

Wild Hogs (2007)

I found the movie really hilarious.The star cast was really good.Tim Allen,John Travolta,Martin Lawrence and William H.Macy a.k.a the Wild Hogs totally stole the show.

The movie was,in fact,about the Wild hogs who are a bunch of wannabe bikers who decide to hit the road without caring for a particular destination.They were looking for an adventure basically but they ended up pissing off another gang named Del Fuegos which had 50 bikers who became hungry for their blood after John Travolta accidentally burnt down their bar.

John Travolta gets squeamish quite easily on the mention of the Del Fuegos as he remains taciturn about his act to his fellow mates.Tim Allen and Martin Lawrence bring a lot of hoopla moment through their comedy acts and so does Macy who has this weird way of making you laugh as a geek as well as a freak in the movie.

The story was good and with a moral although one can definitely argue on the point of the limitations of the storyline. Well however the movie scores as a 'real good comedy' which happens to be rare these days.

The entire movie was enjoyable and totally hilarious and that is the reason why I would rate it a 7 out of 10.I'll recommend the movie to all the comedy lovers coz it really was fun to watch.

Diary of a wimpy kid (2010)

I really enjoyed the movie. The movie depicts the life of a teen Greg (Zachary Gordon) who has his issues of longing to be famous in the middle school.He ranks himself 19 on the popularity list.He has a dream to fulfill.He considers his previous friends 'who were not able to grow up' according to him ... morons and tries to maintain his standard by keeping his distance from the infamous.His best friend Rowley however though weird in his ways,as Greg considers him 'still not Middle school ready',keeps on posing a threat to his popularity position. Chloe Moretz has a wonderful role herself in the movie however her appearance is short.But the story is however about the wimpy kid and hence that becomes justified.There are a lot of funny moments in the movie and you would smile every now and then on their innocence.There is one another character Fregley- Greg places him at the last position in the popularity list. There is this funny moment wherein whoever touches the piece of stale cheese is considered to have THE CHEESE TOUCH. Whoever touches that person takes with himself the cheese touch.Even a cockroach was concerned about its dignity. No matter how hard he tries he always gets branded every now and then as the douche.Eventually however Greg learns that it really doesn't matter if one is on the top of the popularity list in the school but what matters the most is being on the top of the list of your best friends. A little act of genius and sacrifice vindicates him eventually. I found the movie totally enjoyable as guys we were kids once remember after all ! We used to consider some little and petty things as important, didn't we ? The sequel to the movie - Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2: Rodrick Rules is set to hit the theaters in March 2011 and I'm looking forward to it as well. The movie was really cute and I wish everyone watches it although I'll give it a 6 as it wasn't excellent though but the movie is highly recommended if you want to relive a part of your past.

Grown Ups (2010)

Adam Sandler wove a lovely story in the Grown ups. Though the movie had not much to offer but the story was really lovely and totally enjoyable. I had a great time watching the movie as Adam didn't leave any stone unturned. He carried it well as he always does in his all movies. As an amazing comedian he came up with great punches and I had a great time enjoying the comedy.The movie also showed some great moments where despite of the little ups and downs in a relationship 'Love and truth still rules' was also given precedence.

There is something about Adam Sandler that really gives comedy a new dimension.His humor is the best- the way he comes at one after a let down is a joy to watch. If you want some best come back lines then start watching how Sandler does it. Kevin James on the other hand is the funniest actor alive. His acts really could possibly bring back even the dead.He is damn funny when he dances with his unique style which we have so far seen in his previous movies be it be Paul Blart or The hitch. Rob Schneider and Chris Rock and David Spade were at their best. Rob had a thing for the oldies. The concept was really catchy coz each one of them were 'normal' as Adam said. I was really looking forward to watching this movie and I don't regret it. The humor was unlike all the stupid movies and it had a lot of HAHA moments in it. I'd recommend this movie to everyone as in this case Too many cooks didn't spoil the food.

Vampires Suck (2010)

Vampires suck, albeit had a few moments of laugh, but those moments did not last long. It is a spoof of The Twilight saga and kicks off with the Prologue of the New Moon. Those HA-HA moments that used to go non-stop in the movies by Craig Mazin ( Superhero movie, Scary Movie 3,4) were totally not present in this stuff. There are moments where the story goes as slow as the Twilight saga and there are punches that come out of the blue thus proving it to be a comedy but frankly speaking the humour was cheesy and short lived. A few moments are there where u can find yourself laughing your bellies out like the scene where Jacob turns into a chihuahua or the scene where the vampires get recognised as The Black eyed Peas by David DeLuise ( The Fisherman ) or Edward calling himself a killer while shooting Alice as she sneaks into a hole. Jenn Proske however played Kristen Stewart quite impressively appending some moments of smile while Matt Lanter contributed equally well.Anneliese van der Pol played Jennifer nicely. It is good to see her in movies every now and then away from TV shows like That's So Raven. Although the effort was great it could have been much better if Craig Mazin was allowed to direct this one. The story's end was however not entirely the way you would expect as eventually Matt Lanter is murdered by a Team Jacob's fan who pops up out of nowhere and bludgeons him to death in one blow. An abrupt ending. Then again it is a spoof what else can you expect ? If a critic is supposed to rate this movie then he'd definitely end up giving it a single star while as a Hollywood lover I'd go for a 3. If my opinions are concerned, I'd rather not suggest this movie to anyone. Superhero movie was far better than all the spoofs I had watched. Watching this wasn't although a mistake but suggesting it to others might become one. So I'd rather not recommend this one.
