TRAILER



CAST AND CREW
Jaguar Paw: Rudy Youngblood
Seven: Dalia Hernandez
Blunted: Jonathan Brewer
Flint Sky: Morris Birdyellowhead
Zero Wolf: Raoul Trujillo
Middle eye: Gerardo Taracena

Director: Mel Gibson
Cinematography: Dean Semler
Editor: Kevin Stitt & John Wright

PLOT
Set during the decline of the mighty Mayan civilization, the movie sets main focus on a village/tribe which is annexed by the Mayans to be sacrificed to please the sun god and hence avoid their decline. The protagonist is a young hunter called Jaguar Paw who intends to escape his captors and rescue his wife.


REVIEW
For one thing, anyone can tell this is a typical Mel Gibson movie because
A) The entire movie runs in a weird dead language (in this case it’s Mayan. Passion of the Christ was Armenian). So don’t forget to pop on your reading glasses for the scrawny subtitles. B) The movie theme is against conventions, beliefs and superstitions. Though the overbearing theme is quite unclear, Gibson manages to portray the importance of superstition and misinterpretations that struck fear in the hearts of the Mayans quite clearly. Fantastic visuals and cinematography, especially during the forest chases. Commendable acting by the cast, especially for a bunch of people who had no idea what they were speaking. Though the humour seems unnecessary and odd in some places. All in all, a not-so-bad watch.

REVIEW
I loved it. I think this is probably the best movie to come out of Hollywood for a long time. A brilliant comedy(satire rather), with awesome dialogs and acting...
The story is lovely and Aaron Eckhart does a fantastic role of playing the smooth talking lobbyist
the film is a real good watch for all kind of movie goers...
It's educational, emotional, funny, everything you need to make a good movie.
This movie will make you think and is a real nicotine inflected kick in the arse bound to break the funny bone in a few places.
this is a must "c"movie...
Get your hands on the latest DVD. You just have to watch it..just have to
this movie is rated pop corn, coke, doughnuts, all the food u can get ..load 'em up you'll have an enjoyable two hours

TRAILER



CAST AND CREW
Alex Fletcher - Hugh Grant
Sophie Fisher - Drew Barrymore
Cora Corman - Haley Bennett
Chris Riley - Brad Garrett
Rhonda Fisher - Kristen Johnston

Director - Marc Lawrence
Script- Marc Lawrence
Producer -

PLOT
A washed up 80's "has been" Alex fletcher might have been the rage in those days, but these days he's lucky to get a gig playing at the local county fair. Just when it seems as if things couldn't get any more bleak for the dejected has-been rocker, reigning pop diva Cora Corman invites him to write and perform a duet that would give his career the much need boost.
But Fletcher though very good with melody, has never been good at writing lyrics.
In comes in Sophie, his 'plan-girl' who has a flair for words.
Unfortunately the beguiling Sophie is still reeling from a recent break-up with newly famous novelist Sloan Cates , and she isn't quite sure if she's ready for any kind of collaboration right now -- romantic or otherwise.


REVIEW
Although the plot is fairly simple.. boy meets girl, girl helps boy. boy falls in love.
the movie is really nice.. more than romance.. it's the comedy part that keeps this romantic comedy going... I was in splits when i heard Pop! goes my heart.
The sarcasm was topnotch and sometimes if your not attentive you just might miss it... although at times it seems like Lawrence tried a bit to hard to get you to laugh.
The songs were as i mentioned earlier, amazing who would have thought that Hugh could shake his hip like that and actually sing...
I liked was the way Cora(who's a bit of a mix of Britney/Cristina and Shakira) is shown as modern day female pop star.

RATING
funny.. entertaining.. 3.. if not at the theater.. must catch the DVD..

TRAILER


CAST AND CREW
Chris Gardner - Will Smith
Linda - Thandie Newton
Christopher - Jaden Smith
Jay Twistle - Brian Howe
Martin Frohm - James Karen
Director - Gabriele Muccino
Script - Steve Conrad
Producer - Will Smith

PLOT
Set in early-'80s San Francisco, the film portrays the hard times and eventual comeback of Chris Gardner, a suddenly single salesman who has custody of his son, but finds that providing for the two of them is a challenge in the increasingly unstable economic climate.
Chris then in an attempt to fulfill his dream.. enrolls him self into a stockbroker internship with low odds of getting the job.. this choice makes his wife Linda leave him.
Even as the odds become more daunting day by day.. Chris clings on to his dream.Together, father and son struggle through homelessness, jail time, tax seizure and the overall punishing despair in a quest that would make Gardner a respected millionaire.

REVIEW
This is the first time Will and his son have stared together... and I must say a brilliant job by both! I found the move a little on the slow side but will smith makes up for it as he seems to be forever running after something..
the movie was really good adaptation of Gardner Rich's life(slightly exaggerated in the movie)..although the movie didn't really represent the time all that well..but the pain and its emotions were very well portrayed..
other notable things was probably the lighting and the casting which has to be admired.
another negative aspect I found is that the movie conveys the message that happiness can be found only in money..
Otherwise an outstanding movie that got Will both the golden globe and the Oscar for the Best actor..

RATING
Tough... would give it a 4 on 5..
