Poseidon



Grandness everywhere. Loved the opening sequence Poseidon theme by Klaus Badelt.

The story is almost the same as the original Poseidon adventure, only with a lot more CGI. The end was a little different too. I also watched the special features DVD and it seems the cast did most of the stunts on their own (great job guys).

I feel the rogue wave's approach could have been more dramatic. The sets aboard the ship were absolutely marvellous. This is supposed to be Wolfgang Petersen's hattrick of sea disaster movies, others being Boot, Das and The Pefect Storm. Kudos to another great direction.

Its just a basic story of survival for the passengers aboard the Poseidon, trying to make it to the bottom of the upside down ship which is the only part above he oean water. Will they make it safely out. To find out watch Poseidon.

This is a DVD flick according to me, not really the theatre kind. My 3 out of 5 stars for this one.

The Descent



By far the "BEST HORROR MOVIE" I have seen so far. Scared the be'jesus out of me :-).

The story begins with a group of adventurous girls river rafting. One of the girls, Sarah, is married and has a little girl. Her husband is having an affair with another friend of hers, Juno. While returning back from the trip Sarah and her family meet with an accident and she loses her husband and daughter.

After Sarah recovers, Juno plans a getaway trip for her; an underground cave system excavation. She tells the girls (in all 6 of them) that they are going to be excavating a well known cave, but actually takes them to an unexcavated cave so that the trip could be more adventurous.

The adventurous trip soon turns nasty when they realize that they are not the only people in the cave. They are being hunted as prey.

The scene when the creature first attacks is sure to give you a jump out of your seat. The movie has excellent sound effects backed with brilliant set designs. The makeup is amazing too.

Back to the story, the women try to escape the cave and while they are doing that Sarah realizes that Juno was having an affair with her husband. Does she have her revenge on Juno or do they work together to get out of this death cave?

You MUST MUST see The Descent in the theatre, and when I say you MUST take my word for it because you won't enjoy it as much on DVD, its the horror flick of the year for me if not for the decade.

My 5 out of 5 stars for this movie.

Scoop

The Illusionist



Edward Norton, once again delivers a commanding performance in this well made turn-of-the-century Vienna based story. Also featuring is one of my favorite actors Paul Giammati (from Cinderella Man fame).

Ed Norton as a young boy loves magic and learns various magic tricks while growing up. He meets the love of his life, but she being from a rich family they are separated.

Now Ed Norton is a young man and performs Illusions on stage for a living. Very soon he has a large fan following. This does not impress Crown Prince Leopold and he tells chief inspector (Paul Giamatti) to make sure he puts an end to this.

To add to all this Leopold's fiancee is Ed Norton's childhood love. Seeing her again Eisenheim (Ed Norton), hopes they can get back together. But Leopold is already making life difficult for Eisenheim and this further worsens the situation.

Will Eisenheim manage to keep the girl of his dreams or will he lose her to Leopold?

Watch The Illusionist to find out more.
My 4 stars out of 5 for this one.

Little Miss Sunshine



Beautiful movie. A must must watch. Its really very well made.

The storyline of this movie is very simple nothing fancy. Its based on a family's road trip to California so that the youngest member of the family can take part in the Little Miss Sunshine contest.

Steve Carell is the depressed brother who comes to spend some time with the family after he tries to kill himself. Every member of this family is a strange character, wierd to their core.

On their journey they come across various trip blockers (I don't want to mention them because that will spoil the movie for you), but some way or the other they manage to overcome them. They finally make it to the contest and Olive (the little girl from SIGNS) gets to partcipate.

Will she win after all that they have gone through to get this far? To find out you have to watch Little Miss Sunshine.

My 4 and a half stars for this movie.
