What would you do if the Presidentl of your country is assassinated and the government withhelds truth from the people? What would you do if you are an District attorney and yet, you are publicized as a crackpot only because you are a threat to the government's cover up plans? JFK is an answer. Kevin Costner as the District Attorney Garrison of Orleans tries to convict the CIA, FBI and President Johnson for the murder of John.F.Kennedy. But its too late now since the government appointed commission has already closed the case finalizing Oswald as the lone killer.
Why Watch it?
Oliver stone has taken a out of the box screenplay to screen this 3hours 17minutes long movie which is more of an investigative video tape with spine chilling facts and speculations. One could never get bored with the narration. Some historical scenes are staged for a more subtle explanation which you cannot differentiate from the real happening at all. Kevin Costner's long argument in the trial room in the climax scene is exceedingly brilliant and more than sufficient to make one believe that Lee Oswald was not the killer of JFK. Don't dare to miss it!
Awake's poster has nothing special except Jessica Alba, till you watch it. Multi-Billionaire Clayton Beresford Jr. (Hayden Christensen) has a faulty heart and needs a transplant. And due to anesthesia awareness, he is awake during the complete procedure and in the middle he learns that the doctors are gonna fail his transplant deliberately and gonna kill him! Did he live?
Why watch it?:
Awake has the plot of a conspiracy thriller, scenes of a horror genre and romance of a romantic flick but the priorities messed up. The only thing that keeps us occupied is the theme "Anesthesia Awareness" which is new to the audience! So its not a must watch for sure but watchable.
An ailing father is cared by his daughter Bessie (Diane Keaton) for 17 years and ignored totally by his other daughter Lee (Meryl Streep) who has been out of touch for 20 years after her marriage. Now Bessie is diagnosed by her doctor (De-Niro) with leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant to save her life. She turns to her sister for help. Lee comes to help her sister with her two boys Hank (Leonardo Decaprio) and Charlie. Eventually the sisters grow close and the boys start to love their aunt. And unfortunately, bessie is left with no matching bone marrow for her transplant. Now the whole responsibility falls on Lee. Whether she takes it or abandons her family is the final part.
Why watch it:
Meryl streep and Diane keaton, the finest of woman actors in the same pot with teenager Decaprio move this story like a wonderful real life family. The story has very minimum characters but all are woven together perfectly. Its a ocean of emotions and love. Diane keaton won the academy award for best actress. By all means one should NOT miss this movie.
This hilarious buddy comedy made me a big fan of Adam Sandler. He along with his real life buddies David spade, Bob Schneider, Chris Rock and Kevin James has given a 'LMAO' movie. This movie, despite the fact that it lacks story and character buildup, will make you feel nostalgic if you ever had hilarious times with your buddies. Five school time buddies, Rennie, Eric Lamonsoff, Rob Hilliard, Marcus Higgins, Kurt McKenzie meet up after thirty years, in their basketball coach's funeral. Now they are all married and have kids. Rennie rents a lake house for a weekend. The stay moves them closer again and it changes their life style entirely.
The movie lags nowhere and is swift and will make you laugh till the very last moment. It would make sense to mention it has a very few emotional scenes too. Totally the movie is a must watch and the reason is you would never stop laughing.
You seen Indian films based on twins? Except for kaminey, indian films that show on-screen twins, have never been good. Leaves of grass deals with the lives of identical twin brothers Bill and Brady. And the most amusing part is Edward Norton stars alongside Edward Norton. What can be better about a movie? Bill, a professor is stuck up with the life of his shitty, messed up, yet lovable twin Brady who is in small time drug business. May be because Edward Nortons are present, who is more than potent to carry more than two characters, the supporting characters are not developed well. Director Nelson, except for the above reason, has developed a fast paced, crime-dark comedy genre movie perfectly.
Why watch it?
Edward Norton and Edward Norton, do you need another reason to watch this movie??!!!!!

John Hurt, the man who was Gandalf 'the grey' in the Lord of The rings trilogy is professor Arthur Seldom here. Elijah Wood, remembered for his Frodo character in the above trilogy has shared an impeccable screen space with Hurt as his would be disciple in The Oxford murders. The professor-student duo join forces to discover the truth behind a series of puzzling murders happening in the Oxford university campus. Based upon the spanish novel Crímenes imperceptibles (translated as Oxford murders) by Guillermo Martínez, this movie has a super woven story, perfectly blended with mathematical strategies and formulas. The casting is exceptionally good and it would be a sin if the presence of the beautiful spanish actress Leonor watling is not mentioned. She does a perfect job and her romance with the much younger Elijah Wood has come well throughout.
Why to watch:
You don't get to see different, out of the box mystery movies often. This is one of its kind. Story written by mathematician and novelist Guillermo Martínez makes this movie stand ahead of its contemporary mystery movies. Why wait? Watch it now.
