Review: Repo The Genetic Opera (2008)

Good rock horror musical with little bit of dark humor. Scenes are extreme bloody and has a touch of gore. Songs were good but could have been better. You cannot compare this to a Rocky Horror Picture Show they are far better than this.
Guess what Paris Hilton does a good job with her character it really matches her.

Story: World is spread with a organ failure disease and only GeneCo has the cure for it by organ transplant. Anyone dares to miss a payment for their transplants will be retaken by the killer Repo.

This movie is a reamke of 2006 short movie with the same name.

Starring Alexa Vega, Paul Sorvino, Anthony Stewart Head, Sarah Brightman, Paris Hilton

Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman

Distributed by Lions Gate, Twisted Pictures

Running time: 97 minutes

Rating: 7/10 (Repo! The Genetic Opera)

Review: Dead Like Me: Life After Death (2009)

Frankly I found this movie to be very boring, Nothing funny till the 25th minute. Maybe I missed the best part or something else. acting was also bit rusty and shady.
I had high hopes for this movie, turned out be a big disappointment for me.

Story is about a group of reapers who are under a new head reaper Cameron Kane.

Review: Wonder Woman (2009)

Theme is simple, Don't mess with the Amazon Women :)
Good animation with Action and a Fighter jet dog fight. Some fight scenes were stupid they could have been better. Good story with a Ironic ending.

Story is obviously about how Wonder Woman became to be the super hero we all know.

Nice quote from the movie,

Secretary: Mr President the threat has been neutralized.
Mr President: How?
Secretary: It seems by a group of armored Super Models.

Voice: Keri Russell (Wonder Woman), Nathan Fillion (Steve Trevor)

Rating: 8/10 (Wonder Woman)

Review: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

This is a great story. You will learn even if it's backwards or forward the ultimate final result will be the same.
Carefully listen to Benjamin Button narration. You would pick up really good advice and lessons of life.
Cannot say the plot is 100% original because of Forest Gump's. It was a great experience to watch this movie till the end.
If someone ask what is the best drama movie you have watched I will say The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Starring Brad Pitt (Benjamin Button), Cate Blanchett (Daisy)

Directed by David Fincher who directed Fight Club (My all time favorite movie)

Distributed by Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros

Running time: 165 minutes

Rating: 9/10 (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button)

Review: Bolt (2008)

Review: City of Ember (2008)

City of Ember is a good family movie. I feel it's more suitable for kids. Original story line and express a good message to the world - "Take care of our planet".

Review: Inkheart (2009)

Inkheart is a magical and charming story.
Classic family movie which will take your mind through a fantasy world. Great for kids.
Nice to see Brendan Fraser in a film like this. He is famous for the mummies movie.
Preatty original story line, Unique story which I never seen before.

Review: The Tale of Despereaux (2008)

The film is great for kids, very good family movie. The story is based on a book that is written by Kate DiCamillo. The Tale of Despereaux is strange story about a Mouse, Rat and a Servant girl who's lives come together for an great adventure. I didn't enjoy it much, the story is too childish but It has excellent animation.

Studio: Framestore/CFC, Relativity Media

Rating: 7/10 (The Tale of Despereaux movie)

Review: Ghost Town (2008)

I expected more from this film. I have seen the same plot in many movies so it had a negative effect on the humor for me. Ghost Town is a story about a guy who can talk to ghosts. Nice movie with ironic humor and romance.

Distributed by DreamWorks Pictures, Spyglass Entertainment

Rating: 6/10 (Ghost Town)

Review: Bedtime Stories (2008)

Walt Disney movies are always good family movies. I love Adam Sandler, He's born for comedy. This is a kids movie but I enjoyed it very much :-)
Adam Sandler is a hotel handyman, his life changes when his bedtime stories magically becomes true.

Review: Underworld Rise of the Lycans (2009)

Underworld Rise of the Lycans is the 3rd part of the underworld movie series. The film takes us back to early stages when Lycans were first produced by the vampire lord Victor. They could have continued from where they last stopped but for my disappointment the story is set in very early days.
Overall experience is great with excellent effects.

Rating: 8/10 (Underworld Rise of the Lycans)
