07 Dec

Director: Pierre Coffin, Chris Renaud.

US Box Office:$249.7M

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.

Windows – The New Version!

02 Sep

Microsoft has made numerous changes to the Windows 7 user interface in response to user feedback, which is scheduled for formal launch either at the end of this year or early next year depending other factors.

Microsoft also made changes to alerts that signal when an application needs attention.

The icon for a so-called “needy” application will now flash up to seven times, as opposed to the previous three, in an effort to grab the user’s attention.

Windows Vista, the company’s current Operating System, has failed to catch on with mainstream computer users while businesses have shunned it outright.

Many users have complained about Vista’s hardware requirements, intrusive security measures, and lack of compatibility with older applications. 

Windows 2000 and ME were repackaged editions of Windows 98 ;) hopefully Windows 7 a repack of Vista will be more accepted as a dependable new operating system.

Built on the technology of Windows NT 4.0 …. Windows XP is the best Windows eXPerience! :D

Drag me to Hell

30 May

Drag me to Hell is, really, a throwback in so many ways to the fun of The Evil Dead 2.

The camera angles, the excellent score – it all recalls how Raimi played with us in his earlier trilogy.

What has changed however, is the sense of pace.

We know its coming and Raimi employs all his skills to draw out the tension. :)

The thrills are all there in place, perhaps a little too much CGI is indulged in but its easy to forgive in a film as wicked and blackly comic as this.

The film is disturbing for a 15 as well, again this is a mark of tension that Raimi creates with the score and camera work throughout the film.

So incredibly refreshing to see a horror film with out the hallmarks of the recent saw franchise.

Special mention for the ending, which has conviction and guts and was the proverbial cherry on top of the cake – throughly entertaining.

An original tale of a young woman’s desperate quest to break an evil curse.

Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) is an ambitious L.A. loan officer with a charming boyfriend, professor Clay Dalton (Justin Long).

Life is good until the mysterious Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver) arrives at the bank to beg for an extension on her home loan.

Should Christine follow her instincts and give the old woman a break?

Or should she deny the extension to impress her boss!

super! ;) magic

Marley and Me

22 Mar

A simple story coupled with a superb cast, make Marley & Me a must see.

Wilson’s portrayal of Grogan is a welcome change from the often silly and one dimensional characters Wilson has become known for.

Equally compelling is the character Jennifer Grogan (Jennifer Aniston).

After their wedding, newspaper writers John and Jennifer Grogan move to Florida.

In an attempt to stall Jennifer’s “biological clock”, John gives her a puppy.

aaaww ;) magic

The Ugly Duckling And Me!

05 Oct

Not really a bad film: children will appreciate some overarching lessons about human relationships if they’re not too confused by the conflicting details.

Irony is that what’s perhaps most dissatisfying about this film is where it does resemble HC Andersen’s original fairy tale; the meandering from one apparently unrelated scene to the next in order to fill out the prerequisite playing time of a feature-length story. :P

have fun! ;) magic
