Movies


I’ve been to a movie every week for sometime now. The weather doesn’t help for outdoor activities.

I like animation and Pixar always delivers great ones.

By tying thousands of balloon to his home, 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen sets out to fulfil his lifelong dream to see the wilds of South America. Right after lifting off, however, he learns he isn’t alone on his journey, since Russell, a wilderness explorer 70 years his junior, has inadvertently become a stowaway on the trip.

The story line as an overall, is about postponing your dreams and goals, till one day you realize it might be too late to fulfil them. This is a great movie, that grown ups and kids will enjoy.

I absolutely love both the actors and was excited to go see them work together.

Armed men hijack a New York City subway train, holding the passengers hostage in return for a ransom, and turning an ordinary day’s work for dispatcher Walter Garbe into a face-off with the mastermind behind the crime.

The end was disappointing for me. I thought it’ll end up with a twist, Swordfish style. And I didn’t understand why Walter, Denzel, will choose to risk his life after he fulfilled his task.

As it is always with censored movies, they chopped off foul language! Why they do that, a mystery to me. Overall the movie was good.

If you tell me Sandra Bullock, I say Speed.

A pushy boss forces her young assistant to marry her in order to keep her Visa status in the U.S. and avoid deportation to Canada.

It was a light fun movie. But I think they cut off a whole scene. Because within the movie, they refer to a dancing incident which we didn’t see. It was fun, I giggled here and there. If you are in the mood of something light, go see this movie, if you don’t mind it being censored much.
