The Romantic “Ghost”

Whenever we come across the word ghost we get those horrible images in our mind. We start thinking about the evils, the witches, the monsters and the demons. Right? But if you have seen “ghost”, that you must have definitely seen, then you always think of love, romance and loyalty whenever you hear the word ghost.


Ghost

It is counted among the most touching love stories of hollywood. Besides being a love story Ghost has been a bright comedy, the most astonishing supernatural tale and a smooth but interesting mystery-thriller. This movie called Ghost was the number one film of 1990. The movie had created millions of fans and critics. The movie gives you surprises, delights you completely and most important of all, it makes you believe. In the movie Patrick Swayze ( the late star of hollywood) has played the role of a loving, caring husband who is muredered later one. He plays a ghost who teams up with a psychic (Whoopi Goldberg) to unreveal the facts behind his murder. He also saves his wife from mishappenings.

After the release of the movie the Entertainment Weekly has said that “ The word of the mouth is that Ghost is a must-see romance.” And that is absolutely right about the movie. This drama and fantasy film had Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg in the main caste. The story of the movie was written by Bruce Joel Robin and the movie was directed by Jerry Zucker. The movie was also nominated for various Academy Awards. It was awarded as the Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress ( to Whoopi Goldberg). The movie had also inspired a musical stage version.

The Gods Must be crazy 1

The Gods Must be crazy 1

Totally Crazy and completely hilarious. This movie is utterly superb. the characterization, story, screenplay, dialogues and every part of it is so perfect. The film starts as a documentary and converts in a comedy as it progresses.
Three stories from different places merged into one plot.
1. In the lethal desert of Kalahari the only human species is the bushman, simple and innocent. Far away from any of the mean sides of human being. They don’t have any complications in life whatsoever. They believe in god in such a way like the first human being on the earth used to do. They don’t have any sense of possession, jealousy, cunningness and oblivious to the concept of ownership. THEY THANK GOD FOR THEIR FOOD, water etc. Things changed on one fine day when something falls from the sky. a coke bottle. Threw from the sky by a ignorant pilot. They have never seen a thing like that.and everybody finds it so precious that start fighting for it. Bushmen considered it as evil and decide to throw it away at end of the world. One of the Bushmen (Xi, sounds as kie) starts off his journey to find the end of the earth so they can get rid of the evil thing (The Coca-cola bottle).this led to the exposure of modern civilization for xi. And the interpretation in his own sense is beautifully crafted.
2. A notorious Terrorist tries to kill the president but he survives and now the government is after the terrorists, while on flee he kidnaps a schoolteacher and her pupils in order to make an attempt for escape.
3. Then there is a biologist who is a gentleman but things go out of his mind and he acts in a stupidest manner whenever he is with the schoolteacher.
Now the combination of the journey of a bushman to the end of the earth to destroy a Coca-Cola bottle, the romance between a bumbling scientist and a schoolteacher, and a band of guerrillas on the run makes it perfect laughter dose.
A complete family entertainer I would say. Go for it.

BRUCE ALMIGHTY

BRUCE ALMIGHTY

What if you were god? What would you do? Would you be happy than ever or more gloomy your life would be.
I have got the power as the soundtrack suggests.
The film follows Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey), a TV reporter who seeks a promotion and a better life overall, But he just found himself a little unlucky whatever he does. After a series of bad incidents, Nolan complains that God can't do His job properly. He is surprised when he is met by God himself and granted his powers for a week to see if he can do a better job.
And fun and frustration begins. Now Bruce has the power to change the world, to fix all the issues.
Bruce receives million prayers and complains a day from all over the world he starts to realize how tough the job is. He tries to respond properly to the task he is assigned for, and finally realizes that God's powers are best left for God to handle and asks God to take control of his life. Bruce met with an accident and saved by paramedics while his soul is was in heaven with god (Morgan Freeman). He starts his life on a positive note again and solves his problems as a normal human being. Movie leaves you with a light feeling a happy heart and yes, on the positive side of life.
Jim Carrey has done justice to his role, as the protagonist Bruce Nolan. He has the perfect expression as a man with anger with frustration or wickedness as the movie progresses. Morgan Freeman as God is pleasant as always. Jennifer Aniston is charming.
Movie was a blockbuster all the way on box office.

Film Review : "Crank: High Voltage"

The most dubiously premised attempt at a movie franchise since "Speed 2" hit screens Friday in the form of "Crank: High Voltage," with British action star Jason Statham repeating his role as Chev Chelios, the guy who just can't get a break. After spending the entirety of the first film desperately trying to keep his adrenaline pumping to counteract the effects of a deadly poison, Chev now has to keep himself electrically charged before the battery of his artificial heart runs out of juice.

If you're wondering what happened to Chev's original ticker -- or "strawberry tart" as he rather inexplicably calls it -- it's been forcibly removed and implanted in the chest of an aged Chinese gangster (David Carradine, apparently graduating from "Kung Fu" to "Fu Manchu").

Crank

Writer-directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor's second installment follows the same formula as the first, with one difference: They've managed to ramp up the action and vulgarity beyond the insane heights of the original.

Thus, Chev, guided by his sleazy former heart surgeon friend Doc Powell (Dwight Yoakam, minus the cowboy hat), desperately searches for his heart (metaphor alert!) while periodically shocking himself with a variety of devices (stun guns, car batteries, electronic dog collars) to keep himself from collapsing.

When regular electricity isn't handy, he resorts to static electricity caused by friction: First by rubbing himself up against the sort of profane, sex-crazy old lady that exists only in bad movies, then by once again having wild public sex -- this time in the middle of a track during a horse race -- with his ever-willing girlfriend Eve (Amy Smart).

From Chev's sticking a shotgun barrel up a bad guy's ass to his final turning toward the camera to give the audience the finger, the film makes clear that subtlety is not part of the equation.

What makes it all palatable is the comic lunacy injected into the proceedings, which often take on a decidedly surreal quality. Besides the constant Three Stooges-style physical humor -- one of the characters has "full-body Tourette's," resulting in the inevitable slapstick -- there are such bizarre interludes as a flashback in which we see Stathan's character as a child being interviewed on a TV talk show and a fight sequence that suddenly turns into an homage to Japanese monster movies. And the graphic sex sequence features the sort of pixilated body parts seen on late-night commercials for "Girls Gone Wild."

As usual, Statham anchors the proceedings with his simmering charisma and impressive physicality. Indeed, he injects himself into the mayhem so furiously that one begins to be concerned for his well-being should there be a "Crank 3" Which, no doubt, there will be.
