The Big Lebowski (1998)



I don't approve of weird comedy. This is the same guy, Joel Coen, who gave us Fargo. Steve Buscemi is a permanent fixture in his movies. I couldn't quite fathom the consequence of his presence in this movie though. Well, nor of a lot many other characters. Damn! the whole movie didn't make much sense to me. I mean, it did make sense, but a lot didn't.

There are some good laughs, u would enjoy them. But the core competence of this movie is its weirdness and i don't approve of that, as i said before.

Jeff Bridges brings a lot of charisma into the character. He's the only sane character in the movie and thts a huge relief. Rest is a crazy lot

Some thing!

Performace 8/10

Meet Joe Black (1998)



You have to give it to hollywood to come out with bizarre themes yet do a good job of it. Meet Joe Black is pure fiction made believable. Well, the stress is so much on emotions and the enactment is so near perfection that you wouldn't worry about it. Brad Pitt
brings staggering sensuality to the character of Joe Black. Women could watch this movie just to stare at him. On the other hand, Anthony Hopkins, playing the successful businessman William Parrish, is the epitome of character and confidence, someone to look up to. In between these extremes lives the character of susan parrish, a delicate songbird of a person

Directed by Martin Brest who's given us Scent of a Woman (1992), another terrific yet eccentric movie.

A kaleidoscope of emotions embellished by terrific acting, thats Meet Joe Black

Juno (2007)



juno is a 16 year old pregnant girl. yeah! the movie starts with her testing positive for pregnancy and the rest is an interesting cocktail of emotions delivered through extremely witty dialogues and myriad expressions.

The plot is a shocker from the indian perspective of things, but the triviality with which it is treated in the film makes for some eye popping. That quite adds to the film's appeal. However, it is the marvellous performance from the cast that takes you through the film effortlessly.

a fun film
