Reviews

viewers ,,,,, The Film Interstellar is already making millions, and probably will win Oscar in many categories. Hence at first I thought why wasting energy in saying anything less then perfect about this movie? in fact why saying anything at all ? However, writing review will actually HELP me to Feel better so here I am.

Overall I am pretty disappointed over this movie and I left theater with tremendous Headache. Not that the movie is "inspired" by so many other movies, the pace is slow and the runtime was long enough to give me migraine!

The movie is ReMux of the following ( of course what i feel) 4. "Knowing" (Nicolas Cage) - Part of the movie where dad/daughter traces secret location/facility by coordinates from unknown supernatural source which ultimately leads to the climax.

3. The Arrival (1996) (Charlie Sheen) - Food/Crop Vanishing from earth, sudden changes in weather is actually plan of aliens to destroy resources of earth for humans in order to invade earth.

2. SUNSHINE 2007 - Previously sent ship/mission in space (decade ago) failed to reignite the dying Sun with a nuclear fission bomb. the new ship/mission reaches to that cold ship (eventually) and finds out the Trickery of the Caption of that mission (based on what he believed is right) and he tries to destroy the whole mission.

and of course 1. CONTACT 1996 (JUDY FOSTER / Matthew McConaughey) I kept remembering Judy Foster in all the father daughter scenes and time relativity theory. Ironically its Matthew's movie too! Contact had science v/s religion debate which is not "mentioned" in interstellar (not at least in too many words) The strong part of the movie is background score. script is okay. (could have been better), if you have NOT seen other space movies back from 90s, please go ahead it will be VERY REFRESHING for you :)

I may not comment on how movie/plot/dynamics lead from one situation to another as story of the movie proceeds as our hero Thomas (Dylan O'Brien" get injected in to the maze. ....

The movie touched my heart with only one thing. which was this amazing message that "Never Give up".

when they get divided in to two groups where one says

1. we should do things the way it has been getting done since beginning ( Gally played by Will Poulter) while others 2. believes that this is not our home, we have been put here and we must try to escape/go home,

Courage, hope, confidence and the amazing line when Thomas says ....or we should die trying..." is the one shook me.

... life is a maze, you have been put here,,,, if you afraid of trying and settles on nothing, ONLY you are to be blamed

the suspense, fear factor in the movie since beginning is very nice. pace is somewhat slow but movie delivers in time and believe me it worth watching at least once more!!

I will be watching this movie again. and time with my family :)

Every once in a while you come across with a movie/TV series where you feel that the story was weak the concept was stolen the idea was inspired by some other movie etc etc.... As I entered in the theater i was already 5mins late so I missed the opening however with in couple of minutes the movie got my full attention when I started to absorb the concept and the Laws of that concept. It struck me with in next 20 minutes that the concept is very original and I have not seen it in any other movie (and I've seen lots of movies).

CONCEPT: (Spoiler!!!) 1- Sometime in future; where Scientists have engineered Human body to 1) never to age & 2) never to die. However its has explained in the movie that the world is designed and meant by nature for people to come and go to keep the balance. hence to keep the world stable; the engineered humans have to be Time Bounded after age of 25 or so, where a DNA clock will tell how much time you have to live! and as you work, you will earn more time etc; and the cycle goes on!

2- Also what makes the concept more interesting is the fact that there is NO currency notes in this time and all the commodities are subject to TIME exchange between people & Entrepreneur. Stock Market(s) are running over the count of TIME available in the different zones. Also time can be exchanged between two humans with touch and twist of arms. which makes crime rate high as people kill each other even for few minutes of life time.

3- The world is divided into Zones where the upper zones' population are the RICHEST people having TIME up-to centuries on them. where the lower class people don't even have a week at given point.

STORY-LINE: The movie story is as follows (spoiler - (but not telling the climax)

Will Salas (Justin Tiberlake) is a working a$$ hard labor living in lower zone, fighting to LIVE forever on a daily basis with DNA clock having time not more than 1-2 days!!. He come across with this man Henry Hamilton ( played by Matt Bomer) who has been 25 years old for so long that he just don't want to live anymore!! before suicide he give a century to Will as gift and he commits suicide!

making story short! Will travels to higher zones by exchange years as fees given to him by henry as gift. Will is determined to take revenge from the upper classes' Playing gods who are controlling world and market for their own benefits and to live immortal life forever. Sylvia (Amanda Seyfried) daughter of Philippe Weiss (Vincent Katheiser from Angel (tv series)) who is very powerful person and one of the richest and pioneer of Time system. she subsequently starts supporting Will's agenda to collapse this system. Her father controls TIME banks and have the first bar in safe having TIME of million which they want to steal and distribute to destroy/collapse the system.

However; the other side of movie is just amazing and add more thrill when TIME Inspector Raymond Leon (played by Cillian Murphy) who is so determine to justify his 50 years of service as protector of this system; chases Will & Sylvia to stop them and to arrest them at any cost! this chase has been thrilling thru out the movie! Raymond is almost of 100 years and knows all the in-s and out-s of zones and the TIME issues as well as the history of WILL and his Dead Father! which makes this chase more personal for both (Will and Raymond). Raymond keeps eye on the TIME allotments to all the zones in the country and any suspicious transfer of time between zones is highly unusual and rare.

One of the Thugs is played by Eric Balfour who is a gangster and a time stealer in the poor zone and also wants to catch Will as he rescued Henry that night who gave Will 100years as gift before he died.

---------------------------------------------------

The over all CONCEPT of the MOVIE is JUST Amazing!!!!!! I enjoyed this movie so much! and the last one I remember enjoying this way, was Inception!. The movie is WORTH watching!

However you may or may not agree with me... I believe the Average star cast may have mellow the affect on the movie to become block buster of the year! i believe Angelina Jolie and Leonardo Dcaprio would be an excellent choices for this movie! or perhaps Tom Cruise (as we know he had been doing futuristic crime movies). butt the current star cast is also amazing and Justin Timberlake has acted just amazing!

overall I will give this movie 9/10 and perhaps watch it again!!!

Normally I am big fan of Horror movies especially having thrilling detours; As I started watching Q2 I was very excited with the plot and setup where "something" similar is about to happened in the movie as it was in Q1. However as the story proceeded; My enthusiasm started coming down like foam. The First 30-35 mins of the movie is great. However later it became all about escape efforts with nothing new to show. the following things I found as major reasons with me in giving average rating to this movie.

1. unlike Q1; the story is not told by HandyCam/NewsCam (Q1 was extra thrilling as if you were there with them and experiencing the same!!!) (same thing with CloverField). However this technique is missing in Q2.

2. B-Grade Cast; The movie don't even have single outstanding actor proved himself somewhere! at-least I never saw any of them ever.

3. Poor Lighting/Camera Angels: Since Q1 was via News Reporter Camera, the shaky hand /poor angles and zooming moments! were totally part of the experience however where Q2 is shot by movie teller camera, it expected much better results! .

4. Govt Agency/Military Conspiracy - Old school routine: suddenly this man, seems to hitting one of the Air Hostesses; turns out to be the bad guy! having deep links to some Experimenting Lab .... didn't enjoy that angle! - At least in Q1 there was Thrilling question about Why/How this is happening? who is involve? ....terrorist? bio weapon? etc

5. As movie proceed towards end! the number of infected kept increasing, even in the quarantined Terminal, where it was shown earlier that the plane was small with only two crew staff and two cabin members( Pilot and First Officer. ) it was really unclear to me that how the hell ; these many infected are popping up??? Perhaps they were there since the beginning but failed in getting any recognition and also it was not shown HOW they all got infected and so quick?

=====OverAll the movie is average....

Some times I really suspect IMDb's ratings! after seeing the 7.9 rating me and my friend decided to see the movie! Call me totally crazy but I am not very honest fan of Mr. Steven Spielberg but we went to see the movie. I kept waiting for supernatural action in the movie but the movie never reached to the saturation point! where I could have action such as "I am number 4" type! I dono what I was expecting!

Story line: Story about a small town where four/five teenage friends witnesses a train accident when a truck tries to stop the train by driving towards it on the tracks. later they found out that it was their biology professor who tries to stop the train where further later the town found out that it was military train............then strange things starts to happen in the town... people; pets; and things disappearing etc! ....... Rest about this movie is so predictable that I am sure I snored more than once!

Super 8's plot is a ditto copy of 1988 movie "The Blob". (1)High school boys/girls, (in super 8 its younger boys/girls) (2)Small Town (3) Military Conspiracy (4)One person (doctor/professor etc) trying to stand against military's agenda (5)An Alien Creature on demolition mission (6)A guy/man roaming around in the town in car/jeep for no good reason (6) At the End the whole town witnessing "the big moment"

Super 8 has all the above! PLUS Steven Spielburg's Touch as Bonus when - the lead boy tries to communicate with alien (In English) and the alien reacts favorably -The Ending... typical Steven Spielburg

Summing up my view about the movie - very Predictable and over and over told story - unexplained events; - only chosen metal objects flying... like a bike next to military car flew but car stood there where even heavier object flew. - Military shown so dumb that they never searched for Professor's bunk and left it there for kids to have an insight - Nice Special Affects; but toward the end they just seems TOOO Much! - I found un necessary suspense for nothing.......

Bottom line If you are under 15 and currently living during 1980's - PLEASE go and watch the movie :)

watching source code may remind you of many previous movies in which the leading character would try to change the inevitable. "DejaVu"; "Next" and many others. Moreover its again a Train movie it reminds me of UNSTOPPABLE also/ ----- "Colter Stevens" (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a soldier who tries to change the past (at least in his mind) to save 52 people in the train; especially this girl "Christina Warren" (Michelle Monaghan).

The medium of traveling to and from source code and the fact of being some one else in side SC and later upset body condition once you come back from SC; reminds me totally of "The Matrix" trilogy.

There is nothing new in the Plot of the movie however story-wise the movie is good! again it has been tried to show in the movie that with personal touch any soldier can go extra mile. The role of "Colleen Goodwin" Actress (Vera Farmiga) was very very good and important.

I would rate this movie 7/10 and will be able to watch it at least one more time!!!

Amazing Cast, Amazing Story !!! A story about this boy with gift with Music! in search of his parents! On the quest of locating his parents by Musical Prodigy and gets enrich with life experience as more people comes in to his life!

The Music is epic and Keri Russell was amazing with instruments! on the other hand when Robby William wakes up due to amazing music and found out Freddie Highmore is playing Guitar and each string produces amazing affects!! and this is the boy who never touched and instrument before!!!!

The story speaks about Louis Connelly (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) love to Lyla Novacek (Keri Russell) where A mother is desperately searching for her only child!

The Ending is AMAZING! I cried by just looking at his faith! no naive and yet so confident! I wish I had that type of trust with faith going in my life!

MUST watch movie!

Charlie St. Cloud is a movie can only be felt maximum by those who have lost their loved ones untimely. A story about charlie who lost his kid brother in a horrifying car accident while he was driving. later he started seeing his brother at specific place and time hence he gave up college and all opportunities, in fact he never moved on with his life..

the story speaks about this lonely young man who's father left him and then he lost his brother and later his mom moved on to another city... and now he is alone, working in a cemetery...

I loved this movie and Zach Afron proved that he is more than just a dancing bubble boy in Disney's high school musicals! I wish he had a better start as an actor but its never too late! the way he tears away in a moment has touched me !!!

Friends

Honestly, There is so much to write about this show that perhaps ten thousand lines would not justify! Let me Categorize my review !

StoryLine,

Buffy the Vampire Slayer speaks about story from 1700s to 1997, in old times when cruel vampires like, Darla, Drusilla, Spike and Angelus ruled many cities finally comes down to Sunny dale to face Buffy, sassy teenager slayer with her friends and teacher's support (Scooby gang).

Season 1 The Show has progressive story with complex relations and situations. A powerful nightmare of 1800s ANGELUS, finally gets cursed by gypsies which restores his soul and now he becomes forbidden bodyguard of Buffy and starts loving her. where rest of his blood mates gets very mad at that situation and wants to bring ANgelus back. but Buffy manage to kill the evil source who wants to open hell mouth.

Season 2 - speaks about teaming up of two very evil vampires SPIKE and DRUSILLA. they immediately becomes enemy of buffy after couple of confrontations, where she kicked spikes a$$. Dru is sick/ill and to cure her, they had to cast this spell with blood of drusilla's sire (Angelus) whom they kidnap. the whole season is full of action and amazing story line with great script!!! along with romantic turns with Willow/oz :D

Season 3 - when Kendra dies in season 2 the council sends another slayer with new watcher also. Wesley and Faith. Faith a rogue slayer by nature turn against buffy when she realizes that 1 town is not for two slayers and only way she can rule the town after eliminating buffy. On the other hand Scooby gang has entry of 800 years old witch Anyanka who can cast wish spells for broken hearts. Moreover, SunnyDale's Mayor, turn out to be an evil person who hasn't aged since 1890s and now wants an evil ascension to become THE EVIL. during this process the mayor gets faith on his side to keep scooby gang in line while he can focus on other things. Faith poisons Angel with such potion that he will die if he does not bite and drinks from slayer. which brings the season to climax where buffy wants to hunt down faith in order to cure Angel. again AMAZING STORY with Great Cast, great roles and Great dialogs

Season 4 - school life is over, now every one is on its way!! buffy is sad that life has changed. Angel, cordilia, wesley has left to LA. and the now college is big that she can't now what classes to go to study, however it turns out just right after she meets Riley, a soldier boy in college with hidden agenda. Profession Valsh who wants to raise Demon army for military / defense purposes gets threatened with buffy when she wants to kill all demons where prof. Maggie Walsh wants to capture them alive to use them. during this process prof. Maggie Walsh creates ADAM. a demon soldier, mixture of many species. ADAM gets out of hand and kills prof. Walsh and captivate all other member of Riley's team and turns against everyone. This season contains Award winning episode "Hush" (4x10) which is definitely worth watching !!

Season 5 - is one of the amazing seasons of whole buffy series. Start about when these secret Monks, recreate/reshape this "key" who suppose open a hell portal for one of the demon goddess. this "key" is then sent to Buffy as her sister (Dawn) age 14/15 with all possible memories of everything. The goddess, Glorificus (Glory) who is madly after the key and cannot spare anyone. she is so powerful that whole scooby gang and the Council cannot fight glory. During this whole season many things happens. Riley left buffy since after the destruction of Prof. Maggie and the secret force he could not fit himself in buffy's life, and on the other hand Joyce dies due to brain tumor. however before her death she comes to know what Dawn is not hers but she accepts her as her daughter.

Season 6 - Probably one of the most darkest seasons of the buffy series. where willow gets enrich in her witch powers and raise buffy from dead with very dangerous spell. Later Giles confronts her for using such black power even of any good. Three jerks from Buffy's high school days teams up to make buffy's life hell. this adventure goes seriously wrong when one of them shots Willow's girlfriend Tara and she dies on the spot in willows lap. Willow then acquire all the black powers just to get back on them and to kill them one by one painfully irrespective of the fact that this will destroy everything !

Season 7 - The final season of buffy, speaks about the practical life of the scooby gang and the preparation of the true evil to finally appear from the hell mouth to over come whole city. the evil sends out buffy lookalike in order to make all necessary arrangement for her appearance. Buffy is told to raise army of Potential slayers and train them in order to fight this evil. Faith and Angel returns back in this season to Help buffy fight the evil. a time comes with Faith took over the team by supporting the idea of NOT confronting evil since they got injured badly in last battle which resulted loss of xander's eye also.

The seasons ends with GREAT ending and finally closing the Chapter of Buffy in Sunnydale thru out seven years!!!! the show was aired from March 1997 till 20May 2003 with 144 episode with each season has 21 episodes accept season 1 which had only 12 episodes. Produced by Joss Whedon. later in 2008 we had season 8 of buffy in the form of Comics. however I thing Joss should seriously consider making Season 9 of buffy

Everyone will be surprised to know that first time I saw this movie was on TV in 2006! I am Big Fan of horror/thriller movies and I watched this movie on one cold December night after midnight! I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this movie! A pair of Sibling Darry Jenner (Justin Long) and Patricia 'Trish' Jenner (Gina Philips) are on a ride towards home via country side. They come across with this "thing" which awakes after every 23 springs and gains full strength thru "whatever" it eats!. Darry finds himself in deeper problem when native crazy lady Jezelle Gay Hartman (Patricia Belcher) tracks him and tell him to be very careful and run for his life whenever he sees/hears these certain "signs"

over all the movie is good. however once the monster unleashed there wasn't much left to do. the only thing I don't agree in this movie is the ending. The director/story writers could have done better Job! Jeeper Creeper 2 has much better ending!

In recent years when media / internet has taken better control all over the world we have started seeing bolder movies on politics and on CIA/FBI related investigations and undercover operations.

Valerie Plame (Naomi Watts) is a undercover CIA agent who is determine to save certain Scientist in Iraq when her husband Joe Wilson (Sean Penn) submits his report that Saddam has not procure yellow cake from Africa to enrich Uranium!. The CIA refuse to accept that since they had seen progressive atomic facilities in Iraq during desert storm! However the second half of the movie revolves around Joe Wilson fighting against white house over the identity leak for Valerie Plame.

A very serious Biography which make you think so many things!! worth Watching!!
