Jonah Hex Movie Review

In a summer full of remakes and adaptations, you won’t find a film less original than Jonah Hex. Based on the DC comic series of the same name, Jonah Hex is 80 minutes of clichés pasted together into one agonizingly predictable plot.

The eponymous Hex was a soldier in the Confederate army until his regiment was captured and Hex made an unspecified decision that resulted in the death of all his men. Among them was his friend, Jed Turnbull. After the war Jed’s father, Quentin Turnbull, seeking revenge murdered Jonah’s family, branded his face, and left him crucified to die. Rescued and brought back from the brink of death by mystical Indian magic (twice), Hex turns to bounty hunting, convinced that Quentin died in a fire, and cursed with the unnatural ability to speak with corpses. But when the senior Turnbull reappears with a 19th century weapon of mass destruction and dark designs for the Union, Jonah Hex will finally have his turn at revenge.

Josh Brolin plays the title character and easily turns out the best performance of the film. Brolin lends Hex a quiet hateful weariness with the world,

Centurion 2010 Movie Review

Neil Marshall likes his movies a certain way. He always seems to tell tales of small groups of survivors in situations far graver than they could possibly imagine. Then he likes to pepper that up considerably with rampant abuse of ultra violence and profanity, because who doesn't like a fuckin' R-rated movie? He continues this trend with his latest film, Centurion, the first of his motion pictures to not begin with a "D" (Dog Soldiers, Descent, Doomsday).

Centurion tells the story of Michael Fassbender, a soldier in the Roman army circa 90-something AD.

Vampires Suck 2010 Review

What my friends and I thought to be a funny comedy for anti-Twilight fans, turned into one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen. Most of the scenes shot were between Bella(Becca) and Edward (Edward Sullen) and about how Edward didn't want to love Becca like she wanted him to. There was profanity throughout the entire movie, there was a scene where Edward pulled out a gun and killed someone, the killing of people by vampires(but they made it much more violent in this movie.)

Inception Movie Review

t's hard to think of another studio blockbuster of this size as smart, dark and complex as Inception. It's a studio risk to spend this much money on an intelligent $200+ million production without dragons, superheroes or iconic graphic novels involved – though the fact it's directed by the man behind The Dark Knight doesn't hurt.

Inception is an original story guided by a broken moral compass and considering writer/director Christopher Nolan's track record this is exactly the sort of anti-hero content he revels in. Like his breakout hit Memento, Inception plays with time and space with a Mulholland/Lynchian vibe, Kubrickian corridors and a taste for spy novels and corporate espionage.

At the center of it all is a group of con men specifically trained to navigate your thoughts, and hired to steal whatever secrets your subconscious may be hiding. However, this time, rather than the routine extraction, their interest is in planting the seed, or the "inception" of an idea. The morality of this scenario is overshadowed by the team's leader, a father with a desire to see his children once again and this job could win him his freedom. These aren't heroes we're watching on screen, they're villains of the most dangerous sort. They come at you when you least expect it and are at your most vulnerable… in your dreams.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World (2010) Movie Review ‎

The Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010) movie review is here and it is the most epic review of the most epic movie ever made. Well that is the kind of punch line that the poster of the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. The World has, which goes “An epic of epic epicness”. Well to be perfectly honest, the punch line is right. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World might just be the best teenager movie (or even adult movie) ever created.

The plot of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is that Scott Pilgrim is a bass guitarist for a garage band called Sex Bob-omb and because of his smooth personality and the fact that he is a pure rocker; girls are always all over him. He never has trouble getting a girlfriend but when it comes to losing them, things become a little tough for Scott.

Dinner for Schmucks Review

Tim (Rudd) gets invited to an office party where he might get the big promotion he's waiting for if he brings a stupid guest with him. His boss (Bruce Greenwood) makes it clear that it's the tradition to have a dinner where the person who gets the most idiotic plus one wins. Just when Tim thinks the task is impossible he accidentally runs his car into Barry (Carell) an eccentric IRS employee who specializes in making dead mice miniatures. A remake of the 1998 French film Le D ®ner de Cons, the American
Version uses cultural references and stereotypical jokes to take the story forward. What happens when Tim takes Barry to the dreaded dinner makes up for the second half and an insane conclusion.





Steve Carell saves the film from becoming just another comedy with black jokes and toilet humour. He uses his charm and natural comic timing to make Barry interesting. His
Character has enough quirks and crazy habits that give room to Carell to play around and have fun. Scenes with Rudd and his colleagues are well written. There's a decent camaraderie between the two leads - both good in their roles.

Lafangey Parindey First Day First Show Review

Sometimes, your reputation precedes you. Pradeep Sarkar carries the reputation of making women-centric movies. Films like PARINEETA and LAAGA CHUNARI MEIN DAAG prove it. Who would've ever thought Sarkar would do a 360 degree turn in his third film by calling it LAFANGEY PARINDEY, set it in a chawl and make his characters speak tapori lingo? Hard to digest, isn't it? Frankly, the skilled storyteller takes you on a trip least expected from him.

When you attempt something you haven't attempted earlier or ventured into before, you either fall flat on your face or walk with your chin up in air. Sarkar doesn't slip, although LAFANGEY PARINDEY does have its share of hiccups that show up intermittently. Unlike PARINEETA and LAAGA CHUNARI MEIN DAAG, Sarkar narrates a simple story this time around and though it has nothing to do with the Rajesh Khanna - Mumtaz - Meena Kumari starrer DUSHMUN, you can't help but draw parallels with it, which, frankly, could be a coincidence as well. Yet, to be fair to Sarkar, he ventures in an unknown territory like a seasoned player.

Nanny McPhee Returns 2010 Review

Animated films may come to dominate the family-film genre, but they’ll never entirely edge out their live-action counterparts -- not so long as there exist characters like Nanny McPhee, whose charms could never be properly rendered in a computer. After a half-decade away from the big screen, Emma Thompson2’s magical governess is back to take on a new batch of recalcitrant children in Nanny McPhee Returns. She's gotten better with age.

The second chapter of the Nanny McPhee saga, which marks a definitive improvement over the first, sends the unsightly taskmaster to the English countryside, where Isabel Green (Maggie Gyllenhaal), the mother of three rambunctious tots (Oscar Steer, Asa Butterfield, and Lil Woods), has been left alone to raise her unruly brood and manage the family farm while her husband is away at war. (Though it’s never specifically mentioned, the film is presumed to take place during World War II.) Harried but capable, Isabel’s tenuous grip on her unfortunate situation begins to loosen when a pair of privileged London cousins (Eros Vlahos and Rosie Taylor-Ritson) and a shady, indebted brother-in-law (Rhys Ifans) arrive to wreak fresh havoc in her already chaotic existence. On the verge of losing control of both her farm and her family, she opens the door to find Nanny McPhee’s wart-covered visage staring back at her, and not a moment too soon.

SALT 2010 Review

Salt, the propulsive new thriller from Phillip Noyce (Clear and Present Danger, Patriot Games), has been dubbed “Bourne with boobs,” but that label isn’t entirely accurate. In the role of Evelyn Salt, a CIA staffer hunted by her own agency after a Russian defector fingers her in a plot to murder Russia’s president, Angelina Jolie keeps her two most potent weapons holstered, hidden under pantsuits and trenchcoats and the various other components of a super-spy wardrobe that proudly emphasizes function over flash.

 
But flash is one thing Salt never lacks for. Its breathless cat-and-mouse game hits full-throttle almost from the outset, when a former KGB officer named Orlov (Daniel Olbrychski) stumbles into a CIA interrogation room and begins spilling details of a vast conspiracy. Back in the ‘70s, hardline elements of the Soviet regime launched an ambitious new front in the Cold War, flooding the western world with orphans trained to infiltrate the security complexes of their adopted homelands and wait patiently — decades, if necessary — for the order to initiate a series of assassinations intended to trigger a devastating nuclear clash between the superpowers, from which the treacherous Reds would emerge triumphant.

The Other guys Review

Rumors of Will Ferrell’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. After falling from his perch atop the comedy world with a trio of high-profile disappointments, Semi Pro, Land of the Lost, and Step Brothers, the venerable funnyman seemed destined to join the tragic ranks of fellow SNL alums Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy, comic geniuses who fell prey to their own spectacular success. But he makes a triumphant return to form in The Other Guys, a riotous action comedy from longtime Ferrell collaborator Adam McKay (Anchorman, Talladega Nights).

Playing Allen Gamble, a straightlaced NYPD detective happily confined to his desk job as a forensic accountant, Ferrell dials down the goofball element that metastasized in recent years, instead exhibiting a kind of earnest cluelessness more reminiscent of his character in Elf. Safely in his element crunching numbers and combing paperwork for accounting irregularities, risk-averse Gamble is more than willing to concede the spotlight to the precinct’s glory-hound celebrity cops, Danson and Highsmith (Dwayne Johnson and Samuel Jackson), who’ve charmed the citizenry with their heroic indifference toward danger, private property, or common sense.
