The Resident (2011)

This thriller got no big story. a very simple one, with few characters . A woman comes to a new apartment. Then she wants to begin a relationship with the landlord who is a middle aged unmarried man. At first he hesitates, but later when he wants it she rejects telling that it reminds me of her ex boyfriend. Then she freaks out when she finds that the landlord has been sneaking up on her from the very beginning  and the action begins. but this happens at the end, till then nothing much and its so lazy to watch. anyhow the story of the film, I believe, is not enough for a film. It could have been enhanced with more characters and incidents.

Conan the Barbarian (2011)

Now for me this is disappointing. I think Conan is too barbaric even for a barbarian. And the the teenage Conan killing four adult fighters? isn't that too much for a teenager?  Even for teenage-Conan?

The Conan we knew got a bigger body and wear less clothes, but this new one got it vice versa.:)

Conan's girl friend is told to be grown up in a monastery as a monk. But later in the story she do not act like a monk at all but indeed as a real barbarian princes, killing the bad guys and having sex with Conan sooner than we expect :). This flick got too much digital blood spilling, reminded me of "Wrong Turn". Too much fighting and killing and  gore scenes were shown throughout the movie without any discipline.

There is this scene in which the witch creates an army out of soil. Conan fight this but later retreat and manages to escape by jumping to the sea with his fiance and swim to his friend's ship. I expected the witch to create or summon some sea monsters to attack the ship and take the girl, but it seemed like her powers only work with soil and the only thing she was able to do was to watch Conan escape with gritted teeth.

Furthermore more i'm sorry to say this is just another warrior film which got a bad guy, good guy and the girl. and you can guess the end .Yep, boy meets girl ...happy endings!!

Cold Mountain (2003)

This is a love story, with american civil war and its consequences as the background. The couple separates due to this war, and reunites at the end of the movie. This has a satisfactory ending but may not be the happy one you expect. I cannot call this superb but its worth watching. ( and this one includes a really hot scene of Jude Law and Nicole Kidman :))

The Pianist (2002)

A truly sensitive film. The background is similar to that of "Schindler's List". But for me this is even better than that. This 1 is more active , and the cruel behavior of this Anti-Jewish nature around 2nd world war is nicely depicted throughout the movie. On this superbly built background, a heartbreaking survival story of a pianist, a true story , is revealed. I believe this is a must-watch. Without this your movie-life is incomplete.

A parade of sequels!

Sequels are coming for several movies we have enjoyed. Including, Madagascar 3, MIB 3, G.I. GOE: Retaliation, Expendables 2, Ghost Rider 2, MI4, 23rd installment of Bond - Skyfall, and last but of course not the least, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.

What do you know of "Chase films"?

Films in which a great chase or a race is included as the the main plot element are categorized as chase films. (Wikipedia). The greatest chase film I have watched yet is Apocalypto. Then comes Centurion. The worst is (for me) , No Country For Old Men. For a big list of chase films; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Chase_films

Defendor (2009)

The most heart-touching "superhero" movie I ever watched. Thumbs up for defendor.  First , I expected it to be a lame one, but it ended up being a memorable one. I agree with the statement "darkly funny".

Never Let Me Go (2010)

This movie is so negative and boring. the story is about clonning , something similar to "Island" but only sooo inactive than that. When the clones become aware that they were just clones  made to donate organs for their originals, they do not put up any kind of a fight or a rebel or anything at all and belive in all the lies they were told to in order to keep them in their "school". They accept this as their fate. And act like they don't have any need for their survival. And they believe on this "deferral" thing till the very end. Anyhow in conclusion what i simply have to say is this is not something worthy to give two hours of your lifetime (unfortunately, i did.:()

My Week With Marilyn (2011)

My Week With Marilyn is an all-out prestige picture if there ever was one. Based on the memoir of a young man who fell in love with Marilyn Monroe during his first film job, it's a real life story that practically has "Oscar" etched across every frame. It's a movie about making movies, and features larger-than-life performances of real Hollywood stars by real Hollywood stars. But putting all of that aside, the film itself is pretty damn good.(source:http://geektyrant.com/news/2011/11/7/review-my-week-with-marilyn-afi-film-fest-2011.html )

She comes out as a boy, and even have a girlfriend. But the end is tragic.
