I guess I have to begin with the storyline, so you get the general idea of the movie, well, here you are:-

Gru (Steve Carell) is a mad man who lives in a… -let’s say “different” house/world than the rest of the surrounding houses in a happy suburban neighborhood. In his journey to accomplish his life’s dream (stealing the moon), Gru faces an obstacle. Vector (Jason Segel) “another mad geek guy” is that obstacle. A light bulb shined above Gru’s big head when he decided to use a trio of little orphan girls to win his battle. With the little girls got madly driven in his daily life Gru starts to change. well, not every mad man is a bad man.

My Opinion:-

I watched the movie and I really liked it. The humor and the unstoppable laughs. The minions’ voices that keeps echoing in your head even after the movie which makes the movie post-effectable. The ending is so predictable as the rest of the animated movies nowadays, I mean they had to do it predictable (the good wins) as the genre Family/Kids or the PG rated movie must be ;)

I have this habit that when I plan to watch an animated movie I try to not know the actors’ (characters’) voices before watching it. I prefer to challenge myself and try to figure them out while watching the movie < kinda stupid huh. Anyway, in this movie I figured out Gru’s voice (Steve Carell), Gru’s Mom’s voice (Julie Andrews) but what was really pissing me off is Vector’s voice (Jesse Segel), Although I would have known his voice from dozenes of actors, because I’m a fan of “How I Met Your Mother” TV-Show.And that’s what killed me.

That what I think makes the animated movie highly performed. Different voices of a known and good actor/actress who you think you can recognise. I mean, The known good performance of an actor but the voice is different.

Inception

13 Aug

Inception was filmed amazingly.

If Christopher Nolan doesn’t get Oscar nominations for his performance as a writer and/or as a director, we will be shocked.

The mere size of some of the effects is breathtaking.

However, Nolan keeps it down to earth with a very good cast and great storyline, as a film of this size has the potential of becoming a CGI-driven mess.

Nolan manages to avoid this completely, creating an almost perfect story which draws you in, and really leaves you thinking about the characters and the events which just transpired on-screen.

Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable.

Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved.

Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption.

One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception.

Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one.

screen

If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime.

But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move.

An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.

Salt

07 Aug

This turned out to be one of those over-the-top but real decent thrill-ride type actioners.

Though there are those out there who just won’t cut Angelina Jolie a break, even the haters can’t deny that the girl can act.

She’s excellent in this film, about one of the CIA’s top interrogators who’s accused of being a Russian sleeper agent.

It’s fairly early in the film when the action begins and it runs and runs from there on.

There’s a good twist to plot much later on and we like movies that let you try to figure them out as they go along, rather than force feeding you the answers with dumbed down dialog and screechy music because the writers assume the audience is too stupid to get the obvious story movements.

This one doesn’t do that. :)

If you’re not a fan of crazy stunt sequences that no one (in reality) would come out of without broken bones, much less survive, then maybe you won’t enjoy this flick too much.

Otherwise, see it, it’s a blast, it’s got a good cast with Liev Schreiber (always excellent) and Chiwetel Ejiofor (ditto), and the storyline rips right along.

Check it out Today!.

As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt swore an oath to duty, honor and country.

Her loyalty will be tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy.

Salt goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture.

Salt’s efforts to prove her innocence only serve to cast doubt on her motives, as the hunt to uncover the truth behind her identity continues and the question remains: “Who is Salt?”

It’s also been dubbed as “The Bourne Salt-imatum” you heard it first here at et – the place to be.

How To Train Your Dragon

04 Aug

How to Train Your Dragon is probably the best Dreamworks picture we have ever seen.

If you didn’t know it was a Dreamworks picture, we wouldn’t be surprised if you thought it was a Pixar film.

This movie is almost as good as those amazing Pixar movies out there.

First off, let us say that you must watch this movie in 3D.

It’s not one of those movies that has 3D for the sake of it.

The visuals are absolutely stunning and a definite must see in 3D.

It’s not very predictable, it is enjoyable for both adults and young kids.

From the studio that brought you “Shrek,” “Madagascar” and “Kung Fu Panda” comes “How to Train Your Dragon.”

Set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild dragons, and based on the book by Cressida Cowell, the action comedy tells the story of Hiccup, a Viking teenager who doesn’t exactly fit in with his tribe’s longstanding tradition of heroic dragon slayers.

Hiccup’s world is turned upside down when he encounters a dragon that challenges he and his fellow Vikings to see the world from an entirely different point of view.

Warning: The Dragons may look a little scary to some younger kids.

All in all, the visuals are perfect.

Enjoy! ;) magic

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

10 Jun

This might just be one of the best movies we’ve seen so far this summer.

We really enjoyed this film, Prince of Persia offers the audience the best escape from the summer heat.

Filled with humor, romance, and adventure Prince of Persia is what the summer should be about at the movies. Pure Escapism from the troubles of our daily world.

It was definitely better than it had any right to be and while there isn’t much competition, it is definitely the best video game movie.

The cast was great, Gyllenhaal brought this great charisma and persona to the role and the fact the he did most of his own stunts is nice to see.

Arterton was very good as well and unlike in most movies like this her character played more than just the stand in pretty girl.

Kingsley was as well great and played the part perfectly, and finally the much talked about Molina; he was well great as well.

The story line was a clichéd yet interesting one and very easy to follow.

The action scenes were immensely entertaining and the effects were great at times and not so great looking at others.

The cinematography and just some of the shots of the area were downright super but some of the set pieces looked like they were too fake and didn’t fit in with the background.

The movie was fun, gave us a laugh here and there, gave us some sleep urges in the middle but nothing too slow.

The amount of action definitely keeps it going, this is similar to the mummy and the new clash of the titans.

Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films present “Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time,” an epic action-adventure set in the mystical lands of Persia.

A rogue prince named Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal) reluctantly joins forces with a mysterious princess Tamina (Gemma Arterton) and together, they race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time—a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.

View Trailer

Directed by Mike Newell (“Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”) with a cast that includes Sir Ben Kingsley and Alfred Molina, and a screenplay by Boaz Yakin and Doug Miro & Carlo Bernard from a screen story by Jordan Mechner.

very nice! ;) magic

The A-Team 2010

09 Jun

The A-Team delivers what it promises: over-the-top and awesome action sequences combined with lots of hilarious jokes from start to finish, guaranteeing 2 hours of nothing but fun.

The movie respects the TV show in that it does not change the character’s traits (they are still there, Bosco’s fear of flying is an example) – rather, screenwriter/director Joe Carnahan definitely gave the classic 80’s series the upgrade they deserve, Iraq war and elite forces and whatnot.

The actors also have fun with their roles too: Neeson as the wise and brilliant leader; Cooper as the charismatic Faceman, shirt optional; newcomer Jackson as Bosco, now with more depth and roughness; and Copley in a scene-stealing performance as the hilariously sane/insane Murdock.

The chemistry between the four actors is present throughout.

Jessica Biel somewhat distracts in a routine role and Wilson, like the main actors, looks like he’s having a lot of fun in his role.

The action sequences are nicely directed with a dollop of CGI here and there, but there are also some nicely-handled live-action action sequences to boot.

Carnahan delivers more action here than any other one of his movies, as if he was making up for that lack of action for his previous “Smokin’ Aces”.

There’s many implausible yet (in a sick way) ingenious action sequences throughout the movie – such as the mid-air tank scene! :) nice

The script is nicely written for its kind and provides quite a number quotable lines for the main characters.

The cinematography by Oscar winner Mauro Fiore provides all the grit and glory the action sequences need, and to finish it off, a nice, rousing music score by action movie music veteran Alan Silvestri, giving action cues the only way he knows how.

In short this is an extremely entertaining crowd-pleaser that may really heat up the cool summer streak this year is currently having.

This is a must see, if you seen the original TV series, you won’t be disappointed.

The A-TEAM follows the exciting and daring exploits of a colorful team of former Special Forces soldiers who were set up for a crime they did not commit.

View Trailer

Going “rogue,” they utilize their unique talents to try and clear their names and find the true culprit.

Liam Neeson (”Taken”), Bradley Cooper (”The Hangover”), mixed martial arts champ Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, and “District 9? sensation Sharlto Copley, are “The A-Team.”

have fun! ;) magic!

Sex and the City 2

08 Jun

Catching up with Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha was great fun. :P

They’re aging, maturing and still finding themselves.

Having them go to Abu Dhabi was perhaps a weird choice, but it gave them (especially Samantha) a chance to have some great fish out of water moments.

We were happy to have gone along for the ride; these girls just wanna have fun — and they did! :)

People who weren’t fans of the series would obviously not want to wander into a screening.

Those fans who are screaming that the movie was horrible and not realistic should maybe re-examine the original show.

It was a fantasy (not as broad, perhaps) as well.

We had a great time seeing Carrie and the girls again. It was an escapist fantasy. It was fun!

It had some super laughs…and it was a good time. What’s wrong with that? :P

What happens after you say “I do”?

Life is everything the ladies ever wished it to be, but it wouldn’t be “Sex and the City” if life didn’t hold a few more surprises.

This time in the form of a glamorous, sun-drenched adventure that whisks the women away from New York to one of the most luxurious, exotic and vivid places on earth, where the party never ends and there’s something mysterious around every corner.

It’s an escape that comes exactly at the right moment for the four friends, who are finding themselves in and fighting against the traditional roles of marriage, motherhood and more.

View Trailer

After all, sometimes you just have to get away with the girls. oooohh yeeahh!! :D

enjoy! ;) magic

Killers

07 Jun

Killers was better the first time we saw it… when it was called True Lies.

The older title successfully combines all the elements of a top-tier espionage classic and then it brings in a likable, dynamic housewife to keep the female crowd in the film.

Tom Arnold was a rock solid sidekick for Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ashton has no one.

Harry Tasker has a reason for people to try and kill him and his family, Spencer not so much.

In True Lies, a subplot develops where Harry has reason to spy on Helen to see if she’s cheating on him.

In Killers, the idea is simply suggested without logic.

Killers completely shames the tradition of the espionage sub-genre; training missions have a more elaborate scheme, and they usually go to the trouble of making sense out of the background story.

By the end of it, you realize that all the twists you expected to be revealed are not only presented but also nonsensical.

The more you think about it, the bigger the waste of time it becomes.

Still, it’s easy to recognize that Killers is more rom com than spy thriller, and with that in mind, it’s almost a treat since the gunfire and explosions will entertain a male date better than the dialogue found in the standard chick flick. :P

Spencer Aimes (Kutcher) is just your average, undercover, government-hired super-assassin accustomed to a life of exotic European locales, flashy sports cars and even flashier women.

But when he meets Jen Kornfeldt (Heigl), a beautiful, fun-loving computer tech recovering from a bad break-up, he finds true love…and happily trades international intrigue for domestic bliss.

Three years later, Spencer and Jen are still enjoying a picture-perfect marriage – that is, until the morning after Spencer’s 30th birthday.

That’s when Spencer and Jen learn he’s the target of a multi-million dollar hit.

View Trailer

Even worse, the hired killers have been stalking the happy couple for years, and could be anyone: friends, neighbors, the grocery store clerk, even that crabby old guy shuffling across the street.

Now Spencer and Jen are on the run for their lives.

As their suburban paradise turns into a paranoid game of dodge-the-bullet, they must find out who wants Spencer dead and why, all the while trying to save their marriage, manage his in-laws, keep up neighborly appearances … and just plain survive.

The Karate Kid

06 Jun

First of all we really liked the acting!

Jackie Chan can do more than Kung Fu!

They had a extremely difficult job set in front of them when they decided to remake this movie.

Hats off to the Director and writers, who in our point of view were able to capture the essence of the original, well creating a new story with new characters for this one.

One of the other things we really enjoyed was that there was a lot more to this movie than just the Kung Fu.

They took the time to build a story develop characters and create some great action scenes!

Overall we were pleasantly surprised to find that this is actually a great movie!

This should be one of the greatest summer movies for Families!

12-year-old Dre Parker could’ve been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother’s latest career move has landed him in China.

Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying – and the feeling is mutual – but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible.

Even worse, Dre’s feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng.

In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts “the karate kid” on the floor with ease.

With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han, who is secretly a master of kung fu.

View Trailer

As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.

Repo Men

05 Jun

Couple of things… This movie is little gory and little bit of blood, but overall it is a cool movie.

This movie is in the nature of The Matrix, there is a lot of cool and interesting plot to this story and when it deals with the future of human civilization, the story is intriguing.

The story, plot and the gritty commonsense nature of the acting and story were pretty convincing.

Jude Law, the main character does a great job in this movie acting wise; Forest Whitaker was also intense and convincing in the movie.

The directing aspect of the movie is what made this movie good, the director was practical and commonsense in terms of the actor’s emotions, intent, timing and not very comical.

Without good directing, this movie is little easy to become something not real and comical.

Acting was great, plot was wide and deep, actions were practical except in couple of scenes.

It has a lot of bloody action.

ss

In the future humans have extended and improved our lives through highly sophisticated and expensive mechanical organs created by a company called “The Union”.

The dark side of these medical breakthroughs is that if you don’t pay your bill, “The Union” sends its highly skilled repo men to take back its property… with no concern for your comfort or survival.

Former soldier Remy is one of the best organ repo men in the business.

But when he suffers a cardiac failure on the job, he awakens to find himself fitted with the company’s top-of-the-line heart-replacement… as well as a hefty debt.

View Trailer

But a side effect of the procedure is that his heart’s no longer in the job.

When he can’t make the payments, The Union sends its toughest enforcer, Remy’s former partner Jake, to track him down.
