UP IN THE AIR

I downloaded it as soon as I found out that George Clooney is in it. It teaches us all a lesson - especially if you are the kind of person who likes to avoid having obligations towards anybody or dread being tied down by a relationship and wants to maintain your independence. It’s also a reminder to all those workaholics out there who are too involved in their jobs to manage to get a "co-pilot" (as George Clooney very coolly puts it) when we are unable to go on with life. Cheerio!

WANTED

An okie-dokie film based on the myth that a group of assassins who call themselves “The Fraternity” considers it their job to kill certain people assigned to them by “destiny”. It’s worth a watch considering the fact that Angelina Jolie is in it and seeing her in action is a treat. This movie reminded me of Tomb Raider and I simply had to pause in between to download the Tomb Raider torrents before I forgot to. Talk about doing one’s job right away without delay!

MAID IN MANHATTAN

It’s almost like a modern day Cinderella story and if you try to forget the fact that JLo’s acting in it and that in real life she is actually rich and famous, you’ll be able to enjoy the movie. I must admit that I liked JLo’s acting and it was really convincing but I simply hated the hairstyle she sported when she was supposed to be looking irresistibly beautiful in a gown. Thumbs down to the Senator who is supposed to be charming and a woman’s man but I think he’s got a squeaky voice and queer facial features.

WHEN HARRY MET SALLY

I was expecting Meg Ryan to be as beautiful as ever as usual, but this is one movie of her’s I saw and actually said, “Yuck!”. Her character seems so insecure and histrionic (especially in that part in which she calls her “friend” when she discovers that her ex-boyfriend is about to get married and makes love to him when her “friend” comes over to console her). She sports all kind of funny hairstyles in this movie and they are gross!!! I decided on the fact that she looks good only when her hair is short. The hero of the story is completely abominable and I can’t even imagine a character played by Meg actually falling for him. Yuck! Yuck! Yuck! I didn’t like this film one little bit (although there are certain philosophical ideas expressed by both of the main characters that actually got me thinking. Like the fact why a boy and a girl can’t be merely friends ;-) )

STAR WARS EPIC

I simply loved all the parts of star wars and I wish George Lucas made some more parts. The queer part is that the 1st three episodes were made after the last three. I remember watching the last three when I was too little to understand any of the hi-tech stuff they were talking about in the movie.

THE PHANTOM MENACE

Anakan Skywalker is a small cute boy in this first part of the star wars epic. He’s the answer to the prayers of the Republic when their main ship crashes Tatooine. I especially enjoyed the flying competition and the part in which young Anakan is finally able to leave Tatooine to fulfill his dream of becoming a Jedi. A special and delicate relationship develops between him and the Queen of the Naboo (although he is a few years younger than her) but it’s not emphasized on much in this part.

ATTACK OF THE CLONES

Ten years later, Anakan Skywalker is still the apprentice of Obi Wan Kenobi and his first mission alone is to protect Queen Padme Amidala (not a wise decision considering the fact that Anakan is young, impulsive and understandably deeply in love with the Queen). Obi Wan Kenobi is on a mission to discover who is behind the plot of killing the Queen and on the way finds out that the Republic has been preparing a clone army of it’s own. More power shifts into the hands of Senator Palpatine and Yoda senses the power of the Dark Force.
