MARLEY AND ME

There is a lot to say about Marley and me actually.At first sight people might get the wrong impression of a romantic comedy.Yes! there is romance but moreover there is love which connects the human to a dog which gradually builds a bond between them.So may people love animals but this is extraordinary telling of this bond that we usually build with our pets as how they become a member of a family and how we see and treat them as one of us, like a human being.It was really hard not to cry as it reminds of all the memories of the pets you might have had.Directed by David Frankel who had directed many famous tv episodes like Band Of Brothers(2 episode),Sex and The City(6 episodes)and a blockbuster Devil Wears Prada(2006).Accompanied by Friend's star Jennifer Aniston,Owen Wilson and Eric Dane.

RED CLIFF IS SO DIFFERENT THAN ITS KINDS

I this is the great return of John woo after several failures like Windtalker and Paycheck.Red Cliff is an epic movie that is a retelling of a novel called Romance Of The Three Kingdoms.As the name Implies the story revolves around the three kingdom.The emperor who is being used and directed by the commander of the emperor's army,is convinced by the commander that two warlords at the southern lands rebel against him which is actually not the fact but the commander's passion is strong enough to manipulate the situation as he wants to take control and he sets off with the full might of the emperor's forces to the southern lands.I am personally not interested too much in this kind of war movies but I was so impressed by the visual effects, the camera work and the telling of the story through art.From making a tea to martial arts and from the art of thought to the wisdom.Its not just a typical war movie where one side suffers or where the indivuduals fight hard to overcome the consequences.it is a real masterpiece as the story takes you along a long journey in the 14th century.I have never seen that poetic side of John Woo before but I am fully satisfied with it.

Doubt is a sensational drama and one of the best of its kind

Set in 1964, Doubt centers on a nun who confronts a priest after suspecting him of abusing a black student. He denies the charges, and much of the play's quick-fire dialogue tackles themes of religion, morality, and authority.John Patrick Shanley who is a writer and won an Oscar with the Moonstuck(1987) for best writing,put in a great performance as a director along with the great acting by Merly Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman.Before I watched the movie I was a bit reluctant as I thought it could be boring but as i mentioned earlier the performances by Merly Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman were nothing but stunning.Merly Streep(Sister.Aloysius Beauvier) as a nun displays a strict-on-rules character who has also a great self-confidence and all the aspects of narsism and on the other side Philip Seymour Hoffman as a Priest.(Father Flynn)whose attitudes on the students are more loving and built on a diologue with the students as oppose to Merly Streep's character and there is Amy Adams(Sister James) whose character can be described as a loving teacher who loves teaching history and her students and who has moral values and vulnerable.As the name implies things starts with just a doubt as there is no evidence.the story revolves around the trio.the continious fight between the nun and the father and the confused teacher.The nun believes there is a wrongdoing but just with a doubt and the Priest denies charges and wont step down and The teacher influenced by the great character of the nun but also wants to believe the father's innocence.

as a conclusion I enjoyed every minute of the movie especially by the performances and the great conflict that was shown in human nature.In the end I couldnt help questioning my general judgements and is what we see and believe is what they really are?by the way is the Father Flynn innocent?.I think thats also the question that you need to find out..
