THE DEPARTED

I didn't know it was a drama until Big bro said so. The movie proves to be quite captivating and just when you feel that you've got a hang of it there's twist to it. It's like nothing one has seen before. For this and the cool acting of both Matt Daemon and Leo Di Caprio, I'd say it's a good make. I can't really make out the moral of the story though. Hmmm, let's see..."You need to be smart AND have loads of luck with you if you want to survive in this world". Darwin's theory of the survival of the fittest needs some kind of an extension to it...

FORREST GUMP

A few of my friends recommended this film and I thought I'd check it out. Maggie didn't like it and called it "yuck", and I simply can't figure out why. For one thing, it's got Tom Hanks in it and for another, it's simply inspirational. I'd say, Forrest proves to be stupid but really persevering AND seems to have a lot of luck. I'd say, a lot many psychologist may want to improve on their "intelligence assessment" skills after seeing this movies. I know 'll want to...

P.S: the 1st inspirational movie which didn't make me cry!

COURAGE UNDER FIRE

Just looking at Meg Ryan's face inspires me. As usual you can feel her charisma in this awesome inspirational film. Although I thought they didn't show enough of her (the way she walks and talks is magnetic) you have the feeling that her character dominates all. This beautiful film is the 2nd one I've seen of Meg Ryan's (the first being City of Angels). There's a moral to the story and one that teaches you to not make those big mistakes of your life. It's got a Christian touch to it because it gives you the "redemption" feel.

Twilight Saga: New Moon

I’d say this turned out to be much better than the one before this. The theme was a little more refreshing and Kirsten Stewart actually managed to express a few emotions here. Other than that I’d say the film was not to my taste. I mean, Bella had to go through all that torture and confusion to actually convince Edmond to actually bite her and make her a vampire. I’d say she even ditched Jacob for Edmond in the end and that is not at all becoming. Hmmm, well at least it was a little realistic there. Girls and guys may go oooh and aahhh, but I’m not impressed all that much. Since it’s a craze worldwide, I’d suggest you don’t miss seeing it so that you can talk about it to your friends.
