Director: Pierre Coffin, Chris Renaud.

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.

Friday 13th 2009

02 Jun

Friday the 13th has an incredibly powerful first 15-20 minutes.

It really kicks off with a bang.

Jason is back better than ever. :P

Then something goes fractionally wrong and we fall back into old territory.

Everything becomes a bit too familiar.

The main characters are strong in their performance without being memorable.

The cameos are the real scene stealers including a gas station attendant and a man named Donnie.

A lot of the jokes from all concerned really hit the mark though and are a nice touch to the film.

The Friday the 13th remake is what it is and at the end of the day probably all that could realistically have been hoped for.

It won’t decrease the seemingly ever growing hate of remakes, but it certainly won’t add to it either and that in itself is an achievement.

Searching for his missing sister, Clay heads up to the eerie woods of legendary Crystal Lake where he stumbles on the creaky remains of rotting old cabins that lie in wait behind moss-covered trees.

And that’s not the only thing hiding under the brush. Against the advice of police and cautions from the locals, Clay pursues what few leads he has with the help of a young woman he meets among a group of college kids up for an all-thrills weekend.

But they are about to find much more than they bargained for.

Nice!! ;)

enjoy! ;) magic

Crank High Voltage

02 May

Nice!!

If you haven’t watched the first Crank, I recommend watching it before you even think of watching this film.

It’ll give you some good background story and also prepare you for what you are about to see.

If you saw the first Crank and didn’t like it… do not watch this movie.

Multiply Crank by 1000 volts and you get this incredible sequel. nice! ;)

The Crank franchise is an acquired taste, and this stretches it even for fans.

The indestructible hopped-up hitman Chev Chelios, played to the hilt once again by Jason Statham, returns in Crank 2: High Voltage, picking up where the first film left off except this time, Chelios is chasing a Chinese gangster who hijacked his heart and substituted it with a mechanical one that needs to be jolted with an electric charge to stay pumping.

its magic!! ;) magic

Crossing Over

28 Apr

The movie depends on its all stellar cast led by Harrison Ford in his most unusual role ever, none of his typical saving-his-family from terrorists, in fact, his character in CROSSING OVER is a loner who wonders whether his job as ICE agent is the right thing to do, he’s haunted by the implications and the impact of what he does for a living on those who just want to come here for a better life and angered by those who take advantage of the freedom bestowed upon them.

After the tragedy happened, the rules of the game have changed and Ford, in a way, is like that aching voice bugging us to rethink whether enforcing homeland security at the expense of a few good immigrants can be justified.

Crossing Over is a 2009 American drama film about illegal immigrants of different nationalities struggling to achieve legal status in Los Angeles.

The film deals with the border, document fraud, the asylum and green card process, work-site enforcement, naturalization, the office of counter terrorism and the clash of cultures.

Crossing Over was written and directed by Wayne Kramer, himself an immigrant from South Africa, and is a remake of his 1995 short film of the same name.

there you go! ;) magic

Crank 2 High Voltage

22 Apr

If you’ve watched the first Crank and enjoyed it, you will absolutely love this one.

It pushes the boundaries the first one set to the absolute maximum.

There are no lines this film does not cross, from outrageous public sex scenes to gore that almost rivals the Saw franchise. ;)

It will keep your heart pounding for the entire film’s duration.

It’s one of the most hilarious, stylish and down-right insane films I have watched in a while.

Jason Statham, returns in Crank 2: High Voltage, picking up where the first film left off except this time, Chelios is chasing a Chinese gangster who hijacked his heart and substituted it with a mechanical one that needs to be jolted with an electric charge to stay pumping.

With Amy Smart and Dwight Yoakam set to reprise their roles from the original.

nice! :P munchie time!! ;) magic

Friday The 13th

15 Feb

Few weeks ago I did ask where the new Jason is? Here it is!! :D

The film knows its genre, and it knows its audience.

It throws plenty of cheap scares at a moment’s notice, and offers just enough laughs (both intentional and unintentional) to keep the audience invested in the movie.

When the actual scares come, the film manages to keep the audience transfixed at those moments too (whether they are screaming in fear or laughing from how ridiculous the scene is).

Rather tastefully, the deaths are gruesome, but not to the point of overkill like in the Saw series or even within The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.  Super! ;)

Ten years ago, a tragedy changed the town of Harmony forever.

Tom Hanniger, an inexperienced coal miner, caused an accident in the tunnels that trapped and killed five men and sent the only… Young friends Whitney , Mike , Richie , Amanda , and Wade end up missing in the woods near the abandoned Camp Crystal Lake made famous by the original 1980 film), after allowing their curiosity to get the better of them and visiting the site where a psychopathic killer resides.

nice ;) magic
