District 9 (2009)
August 5, 2009 by Anand Pandey
Filed under Hollywood Movies, Sci-Fi/Fantasy
Synopsis: Thirty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees, the last survivors of their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa’s District 9 as the world’s nations argued over what to do with them. Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United, a private company uninterested in the aliens’ welfare – they will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens’ awesome weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien DNA. The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when an MNU field operative, Wikus van der Merwe, contracts a mysterious virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable – he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide: District 9.

Julie & Julia (2009)
August 5, 2009 by Anand Pandey
Filed under Comedy, Hollywood Movies
Synopsis: Before Rachael, before Emeril, there was Julia, the woman who forever changed the way America cooks. But in 1948, Julia Child was just an American woman living in France. Her husband’s job has brought them to Paris, and with her indefatigable spirit, she yearned for something to do. Fifty years later, Julie Powell is stuck. Pushing 30, living in Queens and working in a cubicle as her friends achieve stunning successes, she seizes on a seemingly insane plan to focus her energies. Julie decides to spend exactly a year cooking all 524 recipes in Julia Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” and write a blog about her experiences. Based on two true stories, Julie & Julia intertwines the lives of two women who, though separated by time and space, are both at loose ends until they discover that with the right combination of passion, fearlessness and butter, anything is possible.

Confirmed: Michael Jackson Is Dead
June 26, 2009 by Anand Pandey
Filed under News
Michael Jackson is reportedly in the hospital after suffering a heart attack.
The “Thriller” superstar’s aides frantically called an ambulance to come to Jackson’s Holmby Hills mansion in Los Angeles earlier today, according to TMZ.com.
Reports suggest the singer’s condition was so bad, medics were forced to administer CPR en-route to a nearby hospital — to keep him alive.
Jackson’s worried family members are allegedly rushing to his bedside.
Earlier this month, family insider Arthur Phoenix told WENN the superstar was in a bad way and should not be considering a 50-concert run in London, scheduled to start in July.
He insisted the concerts would not happen, stating, “Michael is not mentally, physically or spiritually ready for these shows. There’s something missing in his soul… It’s over! There are family members who feel the same way but they’re afraid to speak.”
Phoenix fears the pressure of the comeback and the upcoming shows have taken their toll on the 50 year old.
Michael jackson died
June 26, 2009 by Anand Pandey
Filed under News
Its really a Bad news to all of his fans that Michael Jackson died today. He takes his last Air on Thursday afternoon (June 25) at the UCLA Medical Center. He was of 50 age.
Michael suffered a cardiac arrest at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics couldn’t reanimate him.
When he was brought to hospital he was already dead, the staff tried to resuscitate him but in vain.
The tributes, expressions of shock and bad jokes came flooding in even as news outlets rushed to confirm the first reports that Michael Jackson was dead.
The Internet response Thursday to Jackson’s reported hospitalization and death was yet another testament to how quickly news travels in a plugged-in society ravenous for pop culture gossip. Some news Web sites were slow to load, apparently bogged down by a sudden uptick in traffic as millions raced online seeking the latest, best word on Jackson’s status.
Keynote Systems, which tracks Web site performance, said that beginning at 4:30 p.m. CDT, about when the first reports of Jackson’s death emerged, the average speed for downloading major news sites doubled to almost 9 seconds from less than 4 seconds.
Google’s list of top 100 search trends in the hours after the news broke was composed almost exclusively of Jackson-related phrases, ranging from “Michael Jackson died” and “Thriller lyrics” to “Neverland ranch.”
According to initial data from Trendrr, a Web service that tracks activity on social media sites, the number of Twitter posts Thursday afternoon containing “Michael Jackson” totaled more than 100,000 per hour. That put news of Jackson’s death at least on par with the Iran protests, as Twitter posts about Iran topped 100,000 per hour on June 16 and eventually climbed to 220,000 per hour.
Gossip site upcominghollywoodmovie.com, owned by Time Warner, was out in front with Jackson news and digital-era pipelines spread the word, as has happened before with other major celebrity news stories. But it was old media stalwarts that did the heavy lifting, with giants such as The Associated Press and the Web site of the L.A. Times, sister paper of the Chicago Tribune, reporting the fastest, most credible information on the emergency call for paramedics and ultimately his death.
Adam Fendelman, founder and publisher of upcominghollywoodmovie.com, an entertainment news site, was at a no-cell-phones-allowed screening of “Public Enemies” Thursday afternoon and missed the initial reports. When he left the screening and heard that TMZ had broken the story, his first response to his staff was: “Are we sure?”
“The Web and TV phenomenon that TMZ is is very good at fast-breaking and late-breaking news, but there’s an inherent problem with trust in the everyday consumer’s mind,” Fendelman said.
The debate over which media outlet to trust and when to run with the news of Jackson’s death raged on Wikipedia.
Users of the collaborative online reference site battled back and forth, editing Jackson’s entry to reflect that he had died or that he was still fighting for his life. Some users begged their fellow editors to slow down and wait for more official confirmation of the death, while others expressed frustration that the entry wasn’t reflecting up-to-date information
‘Dark Knight’ Triumphs at Saturn Awards
June 25, 2009 by Anand Pandey
Filed under News
Batman movie The Dark Knight has added five more trophies to its impressive haul of prizes — scooping the top accolades at the Annual Saturn Awards.
The film, starring Christian Bale, came out on top at the ceremony in Burbank, California, on Wednesday night, which is hosted by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films.
The Dark Knight was named Best Action-Adventure Thriller, while late star Heath Ledger was honored posthumously as Best Supporting Actor. The sequel also took prizes for its script, special effects and score.
Comic book action movie Iron Man triumphed in three categories, including Best Science Fiction Film, Best Director for Jon Favreau, and Best Actor for Robert Downey Jr..
Angelina Jolie took the Best Actress trophy for Changeling and her partner Brad Pitt’s movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, landed three awards — seeing off competition from Twilight to be named Best Fantasy Film.
The picture also garnered a Best Supporting Actress honor for Tilda Swinton and a prize for its makeup effects.
Will Smith’s son, Jaden Christopher Smith, was honored with the Best Performance by a Younger Actor award for his turn in The Day the Earth Stood Still, Swedish vampire horror Let the Right One In scored Best International Film, and Wall-E was Best Animated Film.
In the TV awards, mystery drama Lost was named Best TV show and Battlestar Galactica landed the Best Syndicated/Cable Television Series honor, as well as acting prizes for stars Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell.
Veteran Star Trek actor Leonard Nimoy was given the Lifetime Achievement Award at the ceremon
‘The Proposal’ (PG-13) Review
June 25, 2009 by Anand Pandey
Filed under Review
WHAT IT’S ABOUT?
When a strong-willed business woman is suddenly told she might lose her job and be deported to her native Canada, she impulsively forces her ever-loyal executive assistant into a shotgun engagement in order to get a green card and stay in the country. The plan gets complicated when the mismatched twosome must go to meet his family in Alaska and convince everyone, including a pesky government investigator, that their impending marriage is the real thing.
WHO’S IN IT?
Sandra Bullock has never been more appealing in the kind of “tough boss” role normally associated with male actors. The Proposal turns the usual romantic comedy tables around, giving Bullock lots to play with — and she certainly makes the most of it, painting a hilarious picture of an attractive and surprisingly vulnerable business exec caught in a situation spiraling out of control. Ryan Reynolds’ sitcom expertise is put to good use in the role of her willingly unwilling assistant who must join her charade or risk losing his job. This is Reynolds’ best outing as a rom-com lead yet, and he shows he could own the genre if provided the right material. Stealing the movie from both of them, however, is the irrepressible Betty White, who plays Reynolds’ saucy Grammy. Once again, the Golden Girls alum proves she has comic timing second to none.
WHAT’S GOOD?
Knowing the standard romantic comedy setup just isn’t going to cut it anymore, director Anne Fletcher (Step Up, 27 Dresses) turns The Proposal into more of a screwball farce, letting the laughs fly without forcing them on us. She’s helped by two game lead players who really know their way around this well-worn genre and provide just the right balance to keep this merry soufflé from falling apart. The breathtaking remote locations (Massachusetts, oddly enough, substitutes for Alaska) don’t hurt.
WHAT’S BAD?
No matter how inventive the script, it’s pretty obvious where things are going to wind up in any romantic comedy. But The Proposal, despite following the standard blueprint, still manages to keep us guessing until the very end and that accounts for most of the fun.
FAVORITE SCENE:
A scene in which Bullock and Reynolds accidentally run into each other sans clothing is hilarious, worthy of the best farceurs. A close second is a sequence involving a little dog, a menacing eagle and a cell phone. Classic stuff.
BEST REASON TO PLOP DOWN 10 BUCKS?
After 60 — count ‘em 60 — years in show business, with six Emmys and numerous TV series to show for it, Betty White at age 87 still proves there can be second, third and even fourth acts in life. She gives a movie star turn here that shows everyone how it’s done.
NETFLIX OR MULTIPLEX?
As an alternative to big summer action flicks and gross-out comedies, The Proposal is definitely the date movie du jour.
‘Year One’ (PG-13) Review
June 25, 2009 by Anand Pandey
Filed under Review
WHAT IT’S ABOUT?
Year One centers on the exploits of two moronic early dudes, clumsy hunter Zed and deadpan and dopey Oh. After Zed is banished from his village for eating the wrong thing, Oh joins him on a journey over many miles of land and through the sands of time. They wind up in the biblical era (don’t ask how if you want to continue enjoying this thing), where they meet the likes of Cain and Abel, become slaves and somehow wind up in forbidden Sodom. It’s not EXACTLY the “year one,” but hey, who’s counting?
WHO’S IN IT?
Jack Black is an obvious choice to play the Neanderthal idiot, Zed. He looks like he was born into the role, in fact, and offers up the appropriate belching and farting to make you believe he’s a VERY primitive kind of guy. As his reluctant partner Oh, Michael Cera does not stray far from the screen persona he has been building since Juno, and even in caveman attire he still has the air of a confused high school nerd. His right-on deadpan delivery of his lines, though, is the one saving grace in this whole sorry enterprise. Casting this most contemporary of actors in the most period of pieces turns out to be inspired. As various biblical characters, David Cross, Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad), Vinnie Jones and especially Hank Azaria (as the prophet Abraham) do what is required to squeeze the humor out of a bad situation. Even an uncredited Paul Rudd turns up as the doomed Abel to help keep Year One afloat and is actually quite funny for the few minutes he’s around.
WHAT’S GOOD?
Best idea was to put the nonplussed Cera into the movie. He’s not an obvious choice for this sort of thing, and it’s nice to see him out of his comfort zone. He gets genuine laughs — an exceedingly rare occurrence in this concoction.
WHAT’S BAD?
Director Harold Ramis (Ghostbusters, Stripes) certainly knows his way around outrageous comedy situations, but he doesn’t seem to know what to do with this one. It’s not enough to put a couple of funny comics in furs and cave attire without giving them funny lines. The fart jokes only go so far(t). Year One is so forgettable and lamentable that by the time the end credits roll, you just want to head straight to the exits and forget what you’ve just sat through for 97 minutes.
FAVORITE SCENE:
Pick anything from the trailer or the TV spots, because they contain the ONLY genuinely amusing bits in the picture.
NETFLIX OR MULTIPLEX?
Hmmmm, let’s just say NEITHER.

Synopsis:
When high-powered book editor Margaret faces deportation to her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she’s actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew, who she’s tormented for years. He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few conditions of his own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky family and the always-in-control city girl finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another. With an impromptu wedding in the works and an immigration official on their tails, Margaret and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan despite the precarious consequences.

‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’ (PG-13) Review
June 25, 2009 by Anand Pandey
Filed under Review
WHAT IT’S ABOUT?
The uber-anticipated sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen picks up shortly after the events of the blockbuster first film. With evil Megatron’s carcass buried at the bottom of the ocean, Optimus Prime and his Autobot comrades, working together with an elite group of human soldiers, are now focused on hunting the remaining Decepticons scattered across the globe. Sam Witwicky, hero of the 2007 movie, is busy preparing for his first year at college, while his unlikely girlfriend, Mikaela Barnes, stays behind to tend to her father’s auto-repair shop. Little do they know, however, that back on Cybertron a Decepticon elder known as “The Fallen” is hatching a scheme to invade Earth, where hidden somewhere on the planet is the last known source of energon, the life-blood of all Transformers. If he succeeds, the devastation left in his wake will no doubt spell the end of the human race. With the fate of Earth hanging in the balance, Sam and Mikaela must once again have to team up with Optimus and the Autobots to defeat this powerful new foe.
WHO’S IN IT?
All the major human players from the first Transformers film are back for the sequel, including Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Tyrese Gibson, Josh Duhamel and John Turturro. Newcomers include Ramon Rodriguez, who plays Sam’s conspiracy-obsessed college roommate Leo, and The Office’s Rainn Wilson, who enjoys a notable cameo as a pompous physics professor.
Of course, the actors merely serve as background filler for the real stars of the show: those titular talking-alien robots. And director Michael Bay fills up the screen with enough mechanical eye candy to dazzle even the most skeptical gearhead. Returning characters include Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Ironhide, Barricade, Jazz (don’t act surprised), Starscream, Frenzy and Megatron (again, don’t act surprised).
Several new Autobots are introduced to the mix: Mudflap and Skids, a pair of jive-talking, ceaselessly annoying hatchbacks; Jolt, a Chevy Volt; Sideswipe, a silver Corvette; and Jetfire, an elderly Decepticon turncoat who walks with a cane, speaks with an English accent and transforms into an SR-71 Blackbird. Additions to Decepticon side include: The Fallen, who we learn is the Decepticons’ real head honcho (consider him the Emperor Palpatine to Megatron’s Darth Vader); Soundwave, a communications specialist who sinks his tentacles into a satellite and spies on us from above; Ravage, a panther-like creature; Wheelie, a radio-controlled truck who talks like Joe Pesci; “the Doctor,” a sort of mad scientist who speaks with a German accent (naturally); and the Constructicons, a group of construction vehicles that fuse together to form a massive, four-legged beast.
WHAT’S GOOD?
No director does over-the-top, explosion-laded action better than Michael Bay, and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen features several staggering set pieces. The CGI work on this film makes the last one look like it was designed on a Commodore 64.
WHAT’S BAD?
Any scene in which people talk — and several of the ones in which robots talk, too. Just as the action and visual effects are beefed up for the sequel, the bad jokes and cringe-worthy dialogue are as well. Highlights include two dogs humping, John Turturro in a thong, a robot humping Megan Fox’s leg, a sequence involving Sam’s stoned mom, and a glimpse of a very large pair of testicles on one very large Decepticon. The latter will likely go down as the “nipples-on-the-Batsuit” moment for the Transformers franchise.
FAVORITE SCENE?
The show-stopping climax, set in the Egyptian desert, is one extended, riotous battle royale packed with so much robot-on-robot action you’ll feel overwhelmed at times.
NETFLIX OR MULTIPLEX?
This big-budget spectacle begs to be seen at the multiplex — IMAX, if possible. Just bring a pair of earplugs for the dialogue sequences. You might want to bring some Dramamine as well, as Mr. Bay went a little overboard with his trademark circling-camera sequences this time around.

Synopsis:
Sam Witwicky again joins with the Autobots against their sworn enemies, the Decepticons.
The battle for Earth has ended but the battle for the universe has just begun. After returning to Cybertron, Starscream assumes command of the Decepticons, and has decided to return to Earth with force. The Autobots believing that peace was possible finds out that Megatron’s dead body has been stolen from the US Military by Skorpinox and revives him using his own spark. Now Megatron is back seeking revenge and with Starscream and more Decepticon reinforcements on the way, the Autobots with reinforcements of their own, may have more to deal with then meets the eye.

Confessions of a Shopaholic (Review)

Confessions of a Shopaholic (Review)
Story
Rebecca Bloomfield (Isla Fisher) is a big-spending but cash-poor shopaholic who has dreams of working for her favorite fashion magazine but ironically is given a job as a columnist for a financial magazine from the same publisher. Of course, not being the perfect candidate to dole out advice on managing money, she butts heads with her good-looking but work-obsessed editor (Hugh Dancy) until, this being a romantic comedy, the sparks start flying between them. Her efforts to conquer her addictions, hit her fashion career goals and find love and contentment carry this lightweight concoction.
Acting
Confessions is worth the ride if only to establish Fisher as a comic star in her own right. So good in supporting roles in movies like Wedding Crashers, she gets to shine, showing humor, heart and chutzpah as a girl who never met a credit card she didn’t like. She turns a character who could have been gratingly annoying into someone even the non-shopaholics in the audience can easily identify with and root for. Dancy is a great foil and perfect opposite in the great tradition of romantic comedies going back to the ‘30s and ‘40s. A raft of familiar faces also turn up amusingly including John Lithgow as the magazine magnate, John Goodman and Joan Cusack as Rebecca’s loopy parents and the wonderful Kristin Scott Thomas as a somewhat clueless French fashion editor. But pay special attention to newcomer Krysten Ritter as Fisher’s moneybags roommate.
Direction
Australian P.J. Hogan certainly has shown a penchant for this kind of comedy, first with the sleeper hit Muriel’s Wedding and then the Julia Roberts smash, My Best Friend’s Wedding. He knows when to tone it down and go for heart, which is key to making a broad comedy like this work overall. The film also makes New York terrific, Technicolored, bright and inviting. It helps that the bestselling books by Sophie Kinsella on which the script is based provide such smart core material. Whether timing in the current economic crisis is right for a movie about an upscale shopaholic is beside the point. Clearly, this is more fantasy now than ever, and that’s probably all good.

Valkyrie (2008)
December 20, 2008 by Anand Pandey
Filed under Hollywood Movies, Thriller
Synopsis:
A proud military man, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg is a loyal officer who loves his country but has been forced to watch with horror as the rise of Hitler has led to the events of World War II. He has continued his military service, all the while hoping someone will find a way to stop Hitler before Europe and Germany are destroyed. Realizing time is running out, Stauffenberg decides he must take action himself, and in 1942, on his own initiative, attempts to persuade senior commanders in the East to confront and overthrow Hitler. Then in 1943, while recovering from injuries suffered in combat, Stauffenberg joins forces with the German Resistance, a long-existing civilian anti-Hitler conspiracy comprised of men hidden inside the highest reaches of power. Armed with a cunning strategy to use Hitler’s own emergency plan to stabilize the government in the event of his demise–Operation Valkyrie–and turn that plan on its head to remove those in power and cripple Hitler’s regime, these men plot to assassinate the dictator and overthrow his Nazi government. With everything in place, and with the future of the world, the fate of millions, and the lives of his wife and children hanging in the balance, Stauffenberg is thrust from being one of many who oppose Hitler to being the one who must kill Hitler himself.
