Review::
I dont remember seeing a movie with soo many Film-Stars and then too having just 1 song!

I dont remember seeing a movie with soo many Film-Stars and then too such a short movie (< 2 hours!)

The movie is well made. The celebrities have acted brilliantly. In fact, there are many scenes of the movie which stand out exceptionally.

The movie drags a bit some times, but, the exceptional movements mange to shadow all the dragging.

On the whole, a must watch for a normal Bollywood movie follower.

Movie :: Ghost Rider
Starring :: Nicolas Cage, Wes Bentley, Eva Mendes, Matthew Long, Peter Fonda
Directed by :: Mark Steven Johnson


Review::

Sigh...
When I heard that Nic Cage, Eva Mendes are starring in a movie, which also has a cruiser bike (an American Chopper) in the central role, I was like, I wouldn't miss this movie for a thing.

I was wrong.

The movie was a bad piece of story, direction and an awe full waste of talent.
The Chopper was the best deal they offered in the movie. Its transformation from a normal cruiser bike to a great looking Ghost Theme chopper is just awesome.

In fact, every thing that The Ghost Rider uses, transforms into some thing very great... the bike, the horse, the shot-gun, the chain, the jacket... everything. ( I keep using THE since its all one of a kind once he touches it )

However, if it weren't for our group, with whom I went, and made uncountable jokes often during the movie, it would have been a pathetic experience.

So, people, to say the truth, go at your own risk. I will say no more.

Movie :: Little Miss Sunshine
Starring :: Steve Carell, Greg Kinnear, Toni Collette, Alan Arkin, Paul Dano
Directed by :: Valerie Faris, Jonathan Dayton



Review ::

Little Miss Sunshine.
A movie about a little girl, who is not that attractive, not that beautiful, not that intelligent, but, non the less is made to believe that she is.
A movie about a boy, who is so much determined to join the Air Force that he has vowed not to speak until he reaches there. Ya, 1 thing i forgot to mention about him, he hates Everybody.
A movie about a guy, who is a gay, and cant take the many on-coming pressures and decides to commit suicide.
A movie about a couple, the husband is showing that he will never give up on any thing. The wife, actually, the wifes role is not that defined, its just that she tries to hold every body together.
A movie about an old person, who is grandfather to the little girl. A been-there-done-that kinda person. Smokes pot, and discusses every thing that he did. I mean, every thing.

A movie about the family comprising of the above mentioned personalities.

On the whole, a totally fucked up family, which is about to break-down any movement now.
Over and above, its just the question of when, since they also face some great downs too.

Little Miss Sunshine, its a movie about how normal humans, aam aadmi, manage to track their lives in the most dreaded of the situations.

The movie makers have managed to hook the most talented actors, at the cheapest rates, of course, thus increasing the profits of the movie many-fold.

The background & character buildup of the movie is just unbeatable and one of the most brilliant work I have seen yet.

All-in-all a must watch.
Just one word is enough. Awesome!
