THE INTERN

PreREVIEW
Why not this with DeNiro and Hathaway, it cant get better than this. Anyway it carries a 7.4 imdb ratings and positive reviews from critics.
REVIEW
This is one of my awaited movie in good copy then see it after downloading type. May not justified seeing it at the cinemas for special effects and sound but should be good at the quietness of the home movie player over a mug of tea (literally speaking)
Before watching the movie, notice that it is quite long for its kind of category - comedy at slightly over 2 hours. Anyway if its good it can also be effective. In fact a good one would have the audience to want for more.
The director (no relation to the other Meyers?) had done "The Holiday" which to me was very very good comedy strarring Diaz, Law, Black and Winslet.A movie which i could see again and again and still be happy about it. So hope this one is no dissapointment.
The plot is interesting enough maybe a bit too many just to fill in the screening time. And it has that "How to manage your business better" kindda of thing which I like. But perhaps that the many plots makes it longer than it should be. Then the husband thing and how wife wants to make it right again even at sacrificing her dream. Also theres unnecessary and wasted character like Renee Russo who could have not been included and shorten the movies further. Not that shes no good but not used to her potential and wasted.
Also Jules relationship with her mother who remains just as a voice over the handphone. That could have been emphasized further. The slapstick of the gang going to the house for Jule's mother computer to delete an accidental sent email is for some action and length to the movie but not have any bearing.
Hathaway as Jules is as usual very good acting and convincing. De Niro on the other hand, was not to his full potential. Not his fault but the script that is. Others are merely passe.
So the movie was a bit dissapointed after watching it. There's no feeling that "ohh thats a good one!" thou I wanted that after all the waiting. To me, just passing the time will do.
On the techinical side, I noticed that even thou it is classified as HDRip its really WebRip because of the lag and also buffering message it shows. Quality not that bad because its not an action movie. So this was taken from a movie already broadcasted on some TV in other countries.

INFINITELY POLAR BEAR

Sufficient imb ranking, Ruffalo and Saldana acting
 REVIEW
 Not bad but nice and cute even when two green super heroes (one was in fact a villian) got married
Got the chance to view this finally at a hotel on netbook with headphones on. Quite short at about 1 1/2 hrs long. Both Ruffallo and Saldana had acted as Marvel characters before. But this story has got nothing to do with action and if not good acting it would have been a bomb. But it turned out to be good nice and cute as a family movie.
It was not mention often in he movie that Cam had Bi Polar. I think it was only once. And the way he was arguing with his 2 girls, we thought even the children inherit the father's illness. Loud and eccentric.
Initially in the first part of the film I thought they never gonna raise the mixed marriage issue which can be illogic particularly when this movie was happening in the 70's. Finally they did and it become more real. The eldest daughter was telling that she does not look that black like her younger sibling which is true. However, how the Cam's family accepted their marriage without any doubt from his parents to grandmother can be unebelievable especially this happened in the 70's. Not saying that everyone at that time were racists, but the openly wide acceptance is a bit far fetched.
I also dont think that a mother can leave thier daughters in the hand of a BiPolar father for 18 months to study far far away ! Surprisingly the arrangement continued when she accepted work in New York the place she studied MBA. The only difference, they could afford to pay for the children's education in a better school. But how they could afford to survive when the husband had no job and the mother studying, I dont really know.
Some routine where the bi polar father can leave the 2 young daughters alone in the apartment to go drinking is really uncalled for. And most of the time we never fail to see Cam smoking his day's away.
But anyway this was a good movie with a believable loving and caring family despite the hardship they went through; Good acting resulted it to be such.

- Marcus joint ventured with a couple on Candles business. Nice input by Marcus as if he is a candles expert. But it shows that with the right business acumen, you can succeed in any business with the right attitude and strategy.

Adam ruins everything Ep10

REVIEWED
- Basically the 2 issues it touched is on Circumcision and Himen. Adam or rather his co star brought up many startling facts on Himen which many of us got wrong or dont know his view on C is rather neutral. But his take that C does no good on cleanliness is rather not direct. How "trend" C came about in USA, not for religious or culture aspect, is interesting. Everyone is titled to ones own opinion.

REVIEWED
It makes playing chess fun again
This is a really good movie worthy of 7.5 rating from IMDB. Tobey (old spiderman) was great in this one. To me his acting is like Ruffalo - acting stone cold not seem to be going anywhere but got it done anyway. Thou its about Fischer's biography of sort its direction make playing chess exciting again. Didnt know that Fischer had this mental problem and perhaps thats the one thing that made him a great chess player. He was able to work out new moves that his openent did not anticipate or know. Maybe chess is like that, you adopt the strategies that you have manouvered before or copy great chess players move. In this way your opponent can calculate how you going to play win or loose. Its your vulnerability actually. Well Fischer was not that kind of chess player, he tried new things and unothordox moves which can cost him or made him win.
But credit should be given to Sparsky too (Fischer's opponent) for agreeing to Fischer's demand and complanits. If he did not, then the world would not know how great Fischer's chess is because he would had been forfeited for not following the rules. He was someone thou with so much ego wanted winning in the real sense of the word not because of your opponent's shortcomings and idiocrisies. But Sparsky was wrong to think that Fischer's purposely asked the ridiculous demands because he was actually afraid and not real. So much demands from him but those around him (the priest and the accountant?) always believe that he was going to be a great player from the begining till the end.
And one thing we know from this movie that the stake of US winning is for its own morale of  everthing there is against Russia and the rest of the world.
Worth every minute of time spent watching this definitely.

THE GREAT GATSBY

 
REVIEWED
How a 1920's film can be so great
Saw this film after Pawn Sacrifice in the same night making it a Tobey Mcquire's film fest for me. On Tobey, he should be the main star of the film and not Leonardo because he played the pivotal role and more screen times. Perhaps Leonardo is a better crowd puller that he was placed second. Anyway they were both real life childhood friends. I guess Tobey is a good guy so he gave his friend the credit.
The film at 2 hrs 2 mins is very good to me which made want to finish it at one sitting thou I was in a hotel with a 10" netbook and earphone  !
The scenes in the movie is fantastic and real. Its makes 1920's so nice to live in.
The background music is somewhat something new the director (or producer) wants to experiment. If ones noticed the music was rap and hip hop or songs that were recently popular but remake and remixed like Beyonce's songs. I think its because "Jay Z" is one of the producer (if its the same Jay Z). Anyway this "experimentation" works for me as it turned out fine and effective too. It has those Big Band Jazz music too but not entirely in the film.
Like what Nick Corroway (TM caharacter) wrote in this novel about the Great Gatsby, Jay (as  he called his friend) is a great human. He was the man in the power of hope (soemething like the power of believing). When he was small he dreamt of being very rich thou his parents were paupers. He managed to attained this. But then when he met the love of his live he lived and spent his life just to get back to this love of his life.
But how sad he was treated in the end. Betrayed by this "love" of his, framed by the husband of his love of his life and not even appreciated to those he had been entertained at this mansion Gatsby's parties. Such a human tragedy may I say.
I think I will search for the original 70's movie of the same name stariing Redford and Dern just to see how different this one with that. Anyway both are from the same book with the same characters in it (from IMDB's list)
Great just Great.
