“You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” Plot Summary
An Israeli Special Forces Soldier fakes his death so he can re-emerge in New York City as a hair stylist. add synopsis
To this movie makers thank you.
To comment on this movie, there are two main sides: First one would be Adam Sandler, I have always liked his movies, for the light kind of comedy he presents, you watch and you laugh but you don’t expect to come out of the movie with a deeper message or something remotely philosophic to think about, I find that when Adam Sandler tries to go deep, his movies become quite depressing and nonsensical, ‘Click’ quickly comes to mind
The thing about the Zohan, is that I laughed a lot in some parts, but I find his affairs with the older ladies to be a bit repetitive and leaning towards downright BORING. Also the crude language and the oh-too-much ‘crotch’ view makes it quite impossible to let your kids watch the movie, which is a pity, because I find the hilarious fight scenes and the Zohan’s ’supernatural’ cool stunts would have been fun for kids to watch
Second point of view would be from an Arab point of view; I started watching this movie, preparing myself to get offended, and mind you I am a very broad minded person … However, I was pleasantly surprised, for the first time in my life I see a movie that does not picture Arabs as animal-like, heartless, brainless killing machines. They are just people, trying to make a living, even the avenging one has a reason, the Zohan stole his goat
Watching this movie, I tried to forget that I am an Arab, and I see that it is portraying – in a very silly and somehow inaccurate way – two opposing sides, and suggesting that they stop fighting, get over their differences to see that they are in fact similar
The movie makers get my personal ‘thank you’ for that, it is no different than watching a movie about the conflict between ‘black’ and ‘white’ people after the civil war, or about Americans and Japanese directly after WWII, there is no prejudices against Arabs here
For the very first time, someone has discovered that Arabs are human beings too. So THANK YOU.

“Wrestler” Movie Review
“Wrestler” Plot Summary
A faded professional wrestler must retire, but finds his quest for a new life outside the ring a dispiriting struggle.
Amazing
I had no doubt in my mind that this movie was going to be great. I watched it a couple weeks back, and my god..It’s a work of art, I tell you.
I have never really seen many films with Mickey Rourke, that I remember. I had never really paid any attention to him, until now. He is an amazingly gifted actor. I cannot see anyone else being as right for that part, as he was.
I will be watching this movie again and again. Even if you’re not a wrestling fan, it doesn’t matter..It’s an amazingly, well done movie.
Go see it! 10/10

“Borat” Movie Review
“Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan” Plot Summary
Kazakh TV talking head Borat is dispatched to the United States to report on the greatest country in the world. With a documentary crew in tow, Borat becomes more interested in locating and marrying Pamela Anderson. add synopsis
Borat: A laugh out loud movie
Before I go on and recommend EVERYONE to see this movie I want to remind you of one thing. This movie is satire and if you don’t understand that then there’s absolutely no point in watching
Much like Spike Lee’s ‘Bamboozled’ it is made very clear that this movie is a satirical piece. Their lampooning, spoofing, however you want to put it there just kidding around take that in account before you go mad because Borat makes jibes at women and Jews
Cohen has once again had me in tears with laughter as he examines the American way of life. If you haven’t seen any of Cohen’s TV material then you will definitely be shocked by what you see
Cohen manages to create genuine laugh out loud moments. Yes they are often at the expense of others but so what?!? No one was harmed during the making of this movie and if they didn’t want to be involved they didn’t have to sign the release forms. But beyond the laughter Cohen does hit a political nerve whether you like it or not. The footage of a Texan talking about Gays and immigrants is both humorous and extremely alarming. As is the conversation between three frat boys (who clearly have the social intelligence of a two year old combined). It’s a stark realisation to see the backwards world we are still living in
If satire eludes you then this movie isn’t for you but if you can sit back, relax and really take in whats going on and have the cop on to realise that Cohen isn’t Borat (Cohen comes from a strict Jewish background) then you will be able to take this movie at face value
Remember ITS SATIRE! Rent it now and just sit back and enjoy the ride!

“As Good as It Gets” Movie Review
“As Good as It Gets” Plot Summary
A single mother/waitress, a misanthropic author, and a gay artist form an unlikely friendship add synopsis
This movie truly is ‘As Good As It Gets’
This movie truly is ‘As Good As It Gets’. Outstanding acting, bizarre, yet amazing plot, this movie has got it all! Jack Nicholson plays a marvelous role as Melvin Udall, a seemingly cruel, middle-aged man, who is a successful romantic storywriter. Melvin is extremely rude to his neighbours, especially to his gay neighbour Simon Bishop, played by Greg Kinnear. Greg is a remarkable actor in this film. In fact, Greg was nominated for best supporting actor, along with Nicholson for best actor and Helen Hunt for best actress. The film was nominated for best picture and best screenplay for the 1997 Academy Awards. Greg plays the role of a gay artist who is mugged while working in his home studio. During his recuperation he has to leave his dog in the hands of his spiteful neighbour. In Simon’s absence an unlikely friendship grows between Melvin and his neighbour’s dog. The story unfolds to show that this uncaring man can indeed have feelings for another being, in this case the dog. You also see that Melvin has feelings for someone other than the dog. He has a daily routine of going to a restaurant. He orders the same meal by the same waitress everyday. One day the waitress, Carol Connelly, played by Helen Hunt, misses work because of her son’s illness. Melvin refuses to eat until Carol returns to work. He can’t live out his daily routine without Carol. He finds that he needs her. He pays for a home doctor for Carol’s son to get Carol back at work. But this only scares her. Eventually they all learn to love one another. The directing in this movie was reasonable. The director was James L. Brooks. This movie is a bit better than other movie that he has directed, such as I’ll Do Anything (1994), Broadcast News (1987) and Terms of Endearment (1983). The plot of this movie is interesting. It is believable, but not likely to happen. As Good As It Gets is an original film. No film I know is similar to it at all. I doubt there is any chance of any sequel to this movie. The sound in the movie isn’t really noticeable in the film. However, perhaps that is fine. If the sound were out of place, possibly it would have been more noticeable. That would be unpleasant. One sequence in this film that struck me as outstanding was when Nicholson went to the doctor for help. He had what is called obsessive-compulsive disorder. The doctor refuses to help him because he made no appointment. On his way out he passes through the waiting room. He stops and turns to everyone and say ‘Have you ever thought what if this is as good as it gets?’ I figure that was a turning point in his life. He realizes that life might not get any better and he should live it to its fullest. The photography and camera angles contributed to this scene to make it perfect. The movie was filmed in California, Manhattan and Brooklyn, New York. It was noticeable that the movie was filmed in New York, because the location on scenes looked like New York. One scene in the movie had exceptional make-up. The scene where you see Melvin’s neighbour Greg in the hospital after he is mugged. He is so bruised up. It looked so real. In the movie when Nicholson was walking on the sidewalk he would always make sure he didn’t step on the cracks. This was because of his obsessive-compulsive disorder. He did this every time he went out. Eventually after taking his neighbour’s dog out with him the dog started to do the same. This is considered a stunt. The stunt crew created a thin string fence above each crack in the sidewalk. The string fence was not visible to the viewer, but the dog would have to step over the string when walking over a crack. However nothing that occurred was that dangerous to warrant a major stunt scene. The editing in this movie was done fairly well. There are no noticeable mistakes. I’m sure special effects were used, but none were obvious in the movie. As Good As It Gets was produced and directed by James L. Brooks. Tristar Pictures financed and distributed the film. The film was successful
As Good As It Gets is a good comedy, has a good love story and great acting. It is not that much of a convincing movie, however it has wonderful writing and acting. It’s a movie I would recommend.

“Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” Movie Review
“Home Alone II” Plot Summary
Kevin McCallister is back. But this time he’s in New York City with enough cash and credit cards to turn the Big Apple into his very own playground…
A very good sequel
‘Home Alone 2: Lost In New York’ is a sequel to the classic ‘Home Alone’. A very nice sequel, let’s face it! If the first one is hilarious, this one is hysterical! I consider this superior to the original. Both are great holiday films
The basic plot is similar to the first one’s, but it’s not a carbon copy. There are many things that make this a different film and a more rich and complete one. It’s a movie with more heart either, with touching scenes such as Kevin and a kid in the hospital waving at each other
The first one basically takes place in Kevin’s house and that zone. This time Kevin is not forgotten at home. Instead of Paris, this time his family is going to Florida and they nearly take Kevin… but he’s accidentally left at the airport. Kevin sees a guy who wears a suit equal to his father’s and confuses him with his father. He enters in the wrong plane and goes to New York City! Like in the original film, Kevin wishes to be lonely after another fight with Buzz. This time the fight is not about a pizza, but because Buzz humiliates Kevin in public when it’s his solo singing of the song ‘My Christmas Tree’, making many laugh. Of course that Uncle Frank, who has no respect for Kevin at all, laughs out loud with this
How come Buzz and Uncle Frank always seem to get away with everything I don’t know… but at least this time Kevin gives a deserved punishment to Buzz. Besides, Buzz isn’t even being sincere when he apologizes. In fact, he whispers Beat that, you little trout sniffer. When Kevin says to his Uncle Frank Oh, wouldn’t wanna spoil your fun, Mr. Cheapskate!, it’s a well deserved reply as well. Indeed, Uncle Frank is a cheapskate, besides being a jerk
The booby traps are more violent comparing to the first movie, but somehow they’re more hilarious, although sometimes they overdo it. The ‘wet bandits’ are no longer nicknamed like that. Now Marv nicknames them as the ’sticky bandits’ after stealing some money from a Santa Claus
The Plaza Hotel is beautiful, with stunning architecture and decoration, not to mention that it’s an extremely luxurious, refined hotel
Cedric is a likable chap, but the Concierge not so much because he dislikes Kevin from the very first moment, although this guy is hilarious at times. Lots of hilarious moments happen in the hotel, mostly with the Concierge and Cedric. One of my favorite parts is when Kevin fools the Corcierge with that cool song ‘Cool Jerk’ – that is hysterical! And what to say about when Kevin fools and scares the hell out of all those hotel’s professionals with a gangster’s movie named ‘Angels with Even Filthier Souls’? That is incredibly funny!The most hysterical part is when Kevin is about to throw a 4th brick and Marv is trying to warn Harry with a strange and almost cartoonish tone of voice, so much that it’s impossible to understand what is he saying
Harry swears the same phrase from the original film – ‘ratcha fatcha freckin’ fracha’ or something like that. But this time he swears that over and over. I wonder how many times he swears that. To this day, I still wonder what is he saying. Maybe it’s almost as if he’s saying the ‘F’ word?Duncan’s Toy Chest is the most beautiful and wonderful toys’s store I’ve ever seen in my whole life. It is absolutely amazing! It is huge and full of everything when it comes to Christmas decorations. It’s almost like a world of fantasy or something from another world. Christmas decorations are also very present in this movie, as well as lovely Christmas carols and good messages about Christmas, allowing us to feel the Christmas magic and spirit
As for the soundtrack, there are plenty of nice Christmas songs, such as ‘All Alone on Christmas’, ‘It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas’, ‘My Christmas Tree’, ‘Christmas Star’ and ‘Jingle Bell Rock’ (too bad it’s not on Brenda Lee’s version). Not a Christmas song, but ‘Cool Jerk’ is awesome
Once again, Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern steal the show in their roles. Eddie Bracken is also great as the kind hearted Mr. Duncan. Macaulay Culkin is even more cute in this film and he has a beautiful smile. Plus, he could be a singer too, he had a beautiful voice to sing and sings beautifully in this film
That sequence with Kevin at the top of the World Trade Center is spectacular and nostalgic, but also painful and depressing to look now because it brings back memories of the tragic date 11th September 2001. Who could possibly imagine back in 1992 that, some years later, such horrible thing would happen?This movie always gave me the urge of spending a Christmas in New York City. It makes Christmas seem so beautiful in that city
This should definitely be on Top 250.

“The Life Aquatic” Plot Summary
With a plan to exact revenge on a mythical shark that killed his partner, oceanographer Steve Zissou rallies a crew that includes his estranged wife, a journalist, and a man who may or may not be his son. add synopsis
Absolutely Brilliant
The thing that some people forget is that Wes Anderson co-wrote the script. the Life Aquatic is quite possibly one of the most original movies i have ever seen, and, personally, i loved every aspect of it. The score was spectacular, mixing Bowies actual recordings with the Portugese covers of Sue Jorge was ingenious. In my opinion the story bares some resemblance to that of Moby Dick, in that the main character is the Capitan of a ship and is bent on finding a sea creature for, at first, revenge… but draw your own comparisons
All in all, the movie was stellar and grabbed my attention from beginning to end, although, it is definitely one of those films that you either like or dislike, and i obviously liked it. I recommend seeing it even if your friends say that its bad, i only rented it in the first place because it was all they had at Video Connection one lonely Friday night and i needed something to watch, and all of my friends, none of whom know what their talking about, trashed it never the less i found it beautiful, hilarious, and over-all an absolutely stunning work of art by Mr. Wes Anderson… also, if you saw it and liked it, you should check out the Royal Tenenbaums, also directed by Anderson, it is almost as good as the Life Aquatic.

“Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” Movie Review
“Sweeney Todd” Plot Summary
The infamous story of Benjamin Barker, a.k.a Sweeney Todd, who sets up a barber shop down in London which is the basis for a sinister partnership with his fellow tenant, Mrs. Lovett. Based on the hit Broadway musical.
Got me onside, surprisingly good
I am generally not a fan of musicals. I don’t like the artifice of singing dialogue moments. I have no problem with singing in a movie but this grates on me. Take Dreamgirls for instance. For the most part i was fine with it, good songs, performed as performances with a narrative structure surrounding them. However once of twice it had songs in place of dialogue where characters were discussing things amongst themselves or some such thing and i just got annoyed. And yes i dislike all the classics like West Side Story for this very reason
For about the first 20-30 minutes of Sweeney Todd I was having the same problem. This makes no bones about it being a musical. It’s not Rex Harrison speak-sing, it’s not staged songs in the middle of clumps of dialogue, it’s pretty much all singing. Everything. Every sentiment, every emotion, every plan, every aside. Yet after about 20 minutes or so i got used to it and went with it and then just appreciated the wonderful dark humour and sheer entertainment quality of it
Johnny Depp is great in the lead but he is complimented across the entire cast with Alan Rickman on fabulously villainous mode; Timothy Spall wonderfully revolting an Beadle Bamford – Rickman’s henchman; and Helena Bonham Carter hilariously off-centre with all the best lines. It also has a star making turn from a brilliant child actor, Edward Sanders. Much better than the now ubiquitous Freddie Highmore (who got his big break with Depp in Finding Neverland before rejoining him (with Burton) in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory) he seems destined to have a great career potentially
The film’s greatest achievement however is how Burton has translated it to screen. This is a purely film musical. It never feels stagey. Unlike recent films like The Producers, Dreamgirls, Chicago which felt largely like they’d stuck a camera in a theatre and just filmed the show here Burton is brave enough to create a cinematic musical using all the tricks of his craft. That is never feels like it belongs anywhere but on a cinema screen is a huge testament to Burton’s skill in the translation and I hope the Academy is intelligent enough to recognise this come the Oscars next year
The dark humour is great, the look is stunning, Depp is gloriously unhinged while remaining believable. Even if, like me, you don’t generally like this type of musical i think you’ll get swept up in Sweeney Todd and enjoy it. Bravo Mr Burton.

“Dragonheart” Movie Review
“Dragonheart” Plot Summary
The last dragon and a disillusioned dragonslaying knight must cooperate to stop an evil king who was given partial immortality.
Brilliant!
An awesome adventure that lets you forget it’s fantasy – it’s as powerful & exciting as the dragons! Bowen (Dennis Quaid) is a knight of the Old Code of Camelot (needless to say, it’s good & honorable), & teaches it to his student, Prince Einon. But during a rebellion, cruel King Freyne is killed – & Einon is wounded badly. Bowen & Queen Aislinn (Julie Christie) visit a famous, wise dragon who donates 1/2 his heart to let Einon live, after his vow that he’ll be a merciful king, unlike his father. But after Einon heals, he enslaves the villagers to work for him, & scorns Bowen’s beliefs. Bowen is enraged at the dragon’s polluting his soul, & vows to hunt him down. 12 years later, he hasn’t found his prey but has made up for it by killing every he finds. Then he meets Draco (Sean Connery), the world’s last dragon, who’s determined to put up a fight. As an alternative to fighting a stalemate battle, Bowen agrees to ’slay’ Draco for $. Draco reveals dragons are gentle & don’t attack unless provoked. Meanwhile, Einon falls in love w/Kara, the girl who accidentally injured him, after he kills her father. Aislinn helps her escape, knowing what it’s like to be a tyrant’s wife. Kara is the 1 person in the village brave enough to fight Einon (Except Bowen, but he’s too bitter to bother w/him anymore), & when she meets Bowen & Draco, she persuades him to join her in a fight. Now, along with the village rebels & Brother Gilbert, a hilariously pinheaded monk, they set out to change their lives – though Draco has a secret about Einon that could cause the difference between winning & losing. The animation here is great – it seems real, just like the characters. It’s exciting & will keep you hooked till the end. I’d recommend it to an adventure-lover.

“Madagascar 2″ Plot Summary
The sequel to 2005’s “Madagascar”, in which New York Zoo animals, Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the Hippo…
Great movie even for the ones who didn’t watch the first movie.
To say that I quite dislike the first movie that I didn’t watch it. This is quite a breakthrough for the sequel. What I am telling is that even we didn’t watch the first movie, we can still watch this movie happily, without any anxiety of thinking that ones would not understand the plot in the movie. I think, the creator and the director of the movie are smart guys who could bundle up the first movie’s story in just several second
At first, I was with my friends going to watch other movie. But then, a lot of them want to watch this movie, so I can say that I gave this movie a try. Then I started to search the disappointing-factor in the movie, but then I found nothing except the great laughter that would really tickle your stomach! They way the actors and the actresses act by their voices is really unexpectedly beautiful. What I mean, is that they could convince the audiences to make them also go inside the movie and become parts of the movie
It is also a big success, another big success for the Dreamworks team by making this film out to the theaters. Their jokes, for sure, is something, I mean that, I think they have gallons of jokes that never ends throughout the movie. And the best part of the movie is that it gives no boring-factor to the audience because it has its own way to connect each plot to another plot in the movie. It is really great too that they have musical parts too that I think it is not too bad, I think
I really recommends everyone to watch this movie, because of all the things I’ve said before. Just watch and you’ll go home with a big wide smile in your face.

the best 80s film ever.
This film is just one of a kind. The charm and wit are so good it will have you wonder how they came up with such a concept, Michael J Fox is at his best as are the rest of the cast. Humour,comedy, science fiction, this film has it all. This film will remain timeless,I would urge anyone who loves films to add this one to their list now. The special effects are still great looking and look far better then most effects today, your heart will still be in your mouth when Marty races towards the clock tower in a bid to get struck by lightning, this is a film you will watch again and again and will always put a smile on your face.
