I Love You, Man
In I Love You, Man, a comedy from John Hamburg (Along Came Polly, co-writer of Meet The Parents, Meet The Fockers, Zoolander), Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd, Knocked Up The 40 Year Old Virgin) is a successful real estate agent who, upon getting engaged to the woman of his dreams, Zooey, (The Offices Rashida Jones), discovers, to his dismay and chagrin, that he has no male friend close enough to serve as his Best Man. Peter immediately sets out to rectify the situation, embarking on a series of bizarre and awkward man-dates, before meeting Sydney Fife (Jason Segel, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), a charming, opinionated man with whom he instantly bonds. But the closer the two men get, the more Peters relationship with Zooey suffers, ultimately forcing him to choose between his fiancée and his new found bro, in a story that comically explores what it truly means to be a friend.
Observe and Report
What in the world is Observe and Report trying to be? Erratic in its comic timing, awkwardly serious and mean in its drama, totally unconvincing in its basic premise, wildly improbable in its lead character, starkly unappealing in the man's obnoxious personality, stumbling and bumbling in its plot progress; this is, well, incomprehensible. Comic scenes never get a chance to develop into a joke, the gaps between moments of failed gags being filled in by f-words.
Hannah Montana
After long anticipation and periods of excitement from the fans, the Hannah Montana movie was finally released today in all theatres across USA and Canada! UK, Europe and the rest of the world releases are to come either later this month or next month at the latest.
Fast and Furious
The latest movie in The Fast and The Furious movie series is a fun ride and a great way to be entertained. The original cast is back! And fast car lovers will get a kick watching this movie.
Adventureland
What? What? A film about early-20 youth that does not make the boys look and sound like air-headed balls of libidinous ego, preoccupied with fashioning obscenities into a monument to the generation? And guys actually have, what do you call them, feelings? This, my friends, is a daring movie. Oh, this is rare and what a breath of fresh air. Greg Mottola, the director who made the admirably funny and decent quality Superbad, now gives us the continuously amusing romance comedy Adventureland in which things happen because, in the ingenious way in which the situations unfold, they have to happen. They just grow naturally out of a virtual garden of fertile small conflicts.
Monsters vs. Aliens
Dazzling action for the kids, easy plot to follow, and appealing monsters. Frankly, though, except for the sexy 50-foot tall heroine of Barbie-like proportions and the longest legs in the known universe, nothing really much for adults. The film's action motif is high-ratcheted stuff, with every motive apparently directed to very short attention spans. The scale is kept grand, the goals simple. The general concept imagination level is not impressive. Dialogue is primarily for the tots, with just a few gratuitous references at adult level. One gets the distinct sense that at the scripting level, nobody really tried very hard at this.
Top 10 Best War Movies
This list comprises the war films that got us immersed in the action as well as in deep thought. There have been countless war films throughout the century, but these ones seem to stand above the rest. This list if geared for the films with more action rather than emotional stories (Schindler's List).
Best and Worst Movies of 2008
The movies that brought us up, and the ones that severely let us down. Here is a recap of last year's movies busts and blockbusters.
Sick of Sequels and Remakes
It seems like all we see in the movie industry is sequels and remakes. If that is not the case then it was a book or comic strip. Are there no original ideas left in this world? Saw 5, High School Musical 3? Rocky Balboa (6th one in the series). When do you draw the line or cut em off? It seems as long as the sequels keep making money, the producers will keep at it. I know it's no big news that movies are all about money in Hollywood. But we as movie goers need to stop supporting this drive.
The Big Bang Theory
The Big Bang Theory portrays two hyper-intelligent and ultra geeky physicists, come room mates (Leonard and Sheldon) and what happens when an young charming woman (Penny) moves to the apartment next door. The nerds live in a technology-bound environment and are totally oblivious to the outside world.
Gossip Girl Actors
Gossip girl is said to be special experience for many. Its endorsement deals and ratings are the proofs that all the shows have permanently made their mark felt on the 21st century pop culture of the teenagers.
Grey's Anatomy Episodes Overview
The medical drama just keeps on getting served like pancakes. It seems that Hollywood has really hit the vein this time with Grey's Anatomy episodes.
90210: Can it Stand Against Its Predecessor?
90210 TV show is one of the latest teen dramas that CW has produced following the internet and teen market success of Gossip Girl. This teenage flick is not an entirely new enterprise since there was already a show using the same concept and formula in the 90's---Beverly Hills 90210.

Watchmen Characters
The graphic novel Watchmen introduces some of the most humanized superheroes ever seen in comics. It veered away from the virtuous and larger-than-life characteristics of stereotyped heroes we have been accustomed to seeing in comics.
A Deconstructed Graphic Novel
Watchmen was published in an era when the comic book genre was dominated by superheroes and antiheroes with black and white views about good and evil. It is a parody of the overman in dystopia.
Watchmen Graphic Novel Should be Left a Comic Book
Started in 1986, writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons formulate a mystery based on the Cold War, wherein the threat of nuclear warfare is an imminent fear. The story explores the possibility that superheroes existed in the 1940s. Thus, in the setting of the Watchmen graphic novel, superheroes are roughly classified into two.
Trailer 2
In a gritty and alternate 1985 the glory days of costumed vigilantes have been brought to a close by a government crackdown, but after one of the masked veterans is brutally murdered an investigation into the killer is initiated. The reunited heroes set out to prevent their own destruction, but in doing so discover a deeper and far more diabolical plot.
TV Spot: Never Seen
Watchmen is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the Doomsday Clock - which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion - a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers - Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity... but who is watching the Watchmen?
Watchmen Comic-Con Preview
It's the 1980's and it's a different world. Superheroes have been outlawed, the only ones still in operation under direct control of the United States government. Suddenly, those heroes both still in action and retired find themselves targets by an unseen enemy, who wants to kill them one by one.
Movie Review: Blunty3000
