toy story (1995)

The world's first fully computer generated feature length animation movie! Thats the USP of Toy Story 1.

tom hanks and tim allen lend voices to the main heros(toys) in the movie.

The movie is about a set of toys which come alive in the absence of human presence. There's an intelligent plot about their lives and how they overcome a particular challenge.

dir: john lasseter who's produced the who's who of great animation movies. take your pick from - WALL-E, finding nemo, the incredibles, monster's inc, ratatouille

Office Space (1999)

a compact comedy!

a no frills screenplay gives you the feel of a reality show except for the deliberately dramatized scenes. Really impressed by the acting of David Herman; he looks very natural.

The story is set in a software company and the protagonists are disgruntled software engineers. People from the IT industry will relate a lot to this movie.

We also have some dilbert-ish sub plots that are quite hilarious.

Overall a fun watch and a quick one too

dir: mike judge (creator of beavis and butthead)

also starring: john McGinely, Dr. Perry Cox of scrubs fame, as a management consultant..thats where the dilbert scenes come in

Wicker park (2004)

a love story well told! Josh Hartnet experiences love at first sight with diane kruger.
..and the movie's rolling to a typical finish but in a slightly atypical way.

I liked the climax; nicely emotional.

Also starring: Rose Byrne (Hector's sister in Troy; very cute), Mathew Lillard (Shaggy of scooby doo)

Dir: Paul McGuigan. has Lucky Number Slevin (2006)to his credit. a good watch that too, thriller sorts. Again, Josh Hartnett is the protagonist
