The Wedding Date

Compared to this movie, Govinda movies are better. I know there is something beneath rock bottom. First things Dermot Mulroney seems tooo old to play the "hot" guy. Debra Messing needs a date for her sister's wedding, so she hires male escort as her date. Her ex-fiance who dumped her before their wedding is the groom's best man. So you expect a few laughs instead you just get a messy pentagon (instead of a love triangle). There simply isn't anything more to talk about it, other than stay away from it. The movie is supposed to be a romantic comedy but there neither any romance nor any comedy in the movie.

Its all about love

This is one the most boring movies I have seen this year. My vote on the dud of the year goes to this one. Its a futuristic (set in 2021) love story (supposedly). Joaquin Phoenix and Claire Danes are residents of a world where people randomly just drop dead on the streets (the only explanation they give is, "its the heart"), the force of gravity just gives away (only in Uganda), there is a time of the night where the temperature hits absolute zero and all fresh water freezes, it starts snowing in New York in July, and you can die of simply loneliness. So there you are going thinking, maybe the movie is a doomsay kinda movie, maybe some cool unrealistic things to see. But here is the thing all the afore mentioned things just randomly appear in the movie. They have no relation to the story (even though its really hard to even find one) and all the things happening seem to be just distorted fragments put together. For the rest of the movie an evil empire has cloned Claire Daines who is famous skater. They have three more versions of her. So that when she stops skating they can still keep minting money. They want her dead and ofcourse Joaquin Phoenix is the hero and is going to save her. Well he does manage to save her from the villans but unable to save themselves. ( I think they wanted an escape from watching this terrible movie thats why they go into wilderness, they get lost and die). And believe me, I have made the plot sound more more interesting than the screenplay writers of the movie do.

DOOM

Well the movie is finally out. The game that revolutionised the single player combat sport in the mid nineties, and also the gore that follows the mauling, is out as a movie. It was sometime aorund 94-95 that iDSoftware came out with the revolutionary Doom platform. People immediately took a liking for it, and after that scores of such games and genres have come out, the latest being Quake IV. In fact I have been having weekly LAN parties, where we have been playing a lot of Quake III Arena. Now about the movie. The movie is good enough for a video game. I mean, which video games of the past had any meaningful story. Even then, the movie does have a hint of a story in it. The makers have done a good job with that. IT starts of with a containment breach at the Olduvai Research facility on Mars in the near future. Genetic experiments have led to people becoming zombies and dead. The Rapid Response team is called up to Quarantine the situation. The movie is basically how they take care of the situation. The movie has a lot of good effects and guns. The BFG, “Bio Force Gun”, or known to the gaming world, and myself, as The “Big F***** Gun” is shown in the movie too, but I think they could have shown it better than they did. In terms of acting, everyone does an ok job. Nothing great. I mean, what’s there to act, if you just have to blow down the zombies that are out to get you. They have tried to recreate the original game play and they have done a great job. In fact there is about 5 mins in the movie, where the camera is on the actor as he moves and mauls down the zombies. It looks as though you are in the game. That was my favorite part of the movie. I would go to this one, only if you are gamer, or like violence and gore, cause let me tell you, there is plenty of that in this movie. IT GAME TIME!!!!

Cheers

Flight Plan

The movie tries to blend different genres into a single platform. The movie starts as off as spooky blend of real and imaginary. Two different scences are juxtaposed into each other. The story really begins with Jodie Foster and her daughter boarding a airplane. The story is the incidents occuring on the plane. The momentum of the story keeps swinging back and forth. One moment it is predictable the other time you are surprized with the turn. **** Spoiler Alert ***** Don't read anymore if you don't want to know what happens. There are some good entertaining points of the film but there are too many holes in the script. How can people around Jodie have not seen her daughter? Its a claustrophic aircraft, not some spacious lounge where people don't see whats around them. Also if they pre-boarded how could the other air-hostesses or stewards not see the child? Well these two are the most obvious and most glaring points. If they had shown some intelligent way of these things could be explained for then the movie could have been a lot nicer. Jodie Foster as usual is top notch. The movie is worth watching for her alone. But there is no real value of watching the movie in a theater. Can easily wait for it to come out on video. 2.5/5(Average) Rating. But a good time pass flick if you have nothing better to do.
