The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (2007)
Its a fantastic children's film which even adults would quite enjoy. So that makes it a good movie overall. doesn't it? Yes it does. Sensitive characters, brilliant graphics and a happy ending, Jay Russell, you've won my heart. I see that you've made ladder49. interesting!
Its a nice little feel good movie. you'll smile in the end, like this :)
Concept 6/10
Performance 7/10
Screenplay 7.5/10
Technical 8/10
Overall 7.1/10
Trivia : Its based on a book by Dick King-Smith also credited with 'Babe'.
Its based on the legend of the loch ness monster
Mr. and Mrs. Iyer (2002)
Sad Movie. What a drag!! its amazing how a 1 1/2 hour movie can seem never ending. There's nothing to the movie from a concept point of you. If its designed to be subtle, its probably a bit too subtle to have an effect.
Special mention of Konkona Sen Sharma for handling a typical Tamil Brahmin character with aplomb.
Aparna Sen's movie has won a lot of awards, but i fail to see the point.
Concept 5/10
Performace 8.2/10
Screenplay 7/10
Technical 7/10
Overall 6.8/10
The Bridges of Madison County (1995)
A tender love story that is quite a drag, but made tolerable and eventually, even likeable by the mere presence of hereby established, my favourite actress of all times, Meryl Streep. yeah, Clint Eastwood too, but i'm a guy.
Oh! Meryl Streep, how sensuous can you be? How naturally emotions unfurl on her face! how subtly her body language extends the feeling. she's poetry in motion and this movie is nothing without her.
If you're a fan of Meryl Streep, you know which movie not to miss.
Otherwise, its just another romantic film with a bad supporting cast!!
Concept 7/10
Performance 8.5/10 (+ 0.5 purely for Ms Streep)
Screenplay 7/10
Technical 7/10
Overall 7.4/10
