15 Park Avenue



15 Park Avenue is the story of a schizzophrenic girl's struggle thru the experience of her family. No doubt its a "hatke" movie, but my only point to Ms. Sen,Why make such sad and depressing movies, you don't have to prove your prowess as a director NOR Konkona needs to prove herself as an actress anymore...

Cinderella Man



Cocoon, Apolo 13, Beautiful Mind and Cinderella Man have one thing in common - Ron Howard. Cinderella Man is a warm and engaging tale of Jimmy Braddock's ( played by Russel Crowe) triumph at the heavyweight boxing title in the 1930's. A true story,Cinderella Man is an inspirational tale of a fighter whose determination, will, perseverance take him to the heights of success after being written off by the press and the boxing council. Ron Howard does a brilliant directorial job. Russel Crowe pays Jimmy Bradock with a lot of conviction, supported beautifully by Renne Zelwegger and Paul Giamatti.

The Weatherman


Nicolage Cage is one of my personal favorite."The Weatherman" played as David Spritz by Cage is the story of a weatherman separated from his wife and children unearthing the dilemma of professional and personal life. The Weatherman's highlight is performances by both Cage and Caine.
Caution: Strong sexual language.

Definitely Worth a Watch!

Décalage horaire (2002)


Juliette Binoche and Jean Reno stars in this Canadian/French production, Décalage horaire ( Jetlag). Reno ( Felix ), a stressed out chef turned businnesman collides repeatedly with Binoche (Rose), a beautician in the airport. Love happens.
Passable.

Under the Sun (Under Solen )


Under the sun is a heartwarming love story of a illiterate simpleton farmer (olof) and his housekeeper. Under Solen is a picturesque movie combined with brilliant performances by the main protagonist. Without giving much about the story I highly recommend this sensual lovestory to the romantic at heart.
