“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!

“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.

“Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa” Movie Review
“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.

“Madagascar” Movie Review
“Madagascar” Plot Summary
Spoiled by their upbringing with no idea what wild life is really like, four animals from New York Central Zoo escape, unwittingly assisted by four absconding penguins, and find themselves in Madagascar, among a bunch of merry lemurs add synopsis
Wonderful…!
A wonderful movie for all ages
This films really follows in the footsteps of recent animated blockbusters as Finding Nemo,Shrek, Monster Inc., The Incredibles, Ice Age etc. The story works very well, and it is obvious that the team behind is people who knows their media. It stays on the same course all the way through, something that really is the essence of the success of the animated films these last years, something other writers can really learn from. And that’s all the comparison I will do, because it really is its own movie
A wonderful thing about it is the references to other movies like The Planet of the Apes and American Beauty. Very obvious references I might add. This also means that the filmmakers are aware that a growing number of gross comes from adult audiences as well, and you then have to assume that the story is written for them as well. The style of the movie is like we are use to in normal cartoons, just put into a new media. And it works very well, you’re always aware of it, and yet you sit and really is in awe of the texture of for instance Marty(Chris Rock). The technique is definitely as is to be expected. Hanz Zimmer, who’s becoming a very well known man within the animated world, does a moderate good job, the music is there and really gives the effects it needs, but is just background. Directing is good, and all the characters works in their own way on the screen but are best together. There’s a huge deal of very well timed jokes and they all somehow seems to work
The characters are very amu… sorry, highly amusing. Chris Rock is almost best as voice(like in Dr. Doolittle), where Ben Stiller although he comes through still is more enjoyable as live action. But both of them are easily identified. Jada Pinkett is a bit to anonymous, and David Schwimmer is just great, although his character wins in being a good background joke. Now for the minor characters, as often with these films, the minor characters gets a way with so much attention they deserve a little more attention. The three penguins are awesome, and is the ideal kick starters for this movie. They deliver almost nothing but laughs. The king of the wild Julien(Mr. Ali G) is fun, although without his sidekick Maurice(Cedric) he would be nothing. And then there’s the two monkeys also very enjoyable. One minor thing is to me that in seems that the Sabletooth tigers from Ice Age seems to have been copy-pasted into this movie for action, a bit sad but nothing that the movie itself doesn’t salvage. I would rank it among the top ten movies of this year, it is very fun and works very well in most ways. 8/10

“Bruno” Movie Review
“Bruno” Plot Summary
Flamboyant Austrian fashionista Bruno takes his show to America.
Brilliant satire
Satire has been defined as stretching a position to its logical conclusion in order to expose its absurdity, for example, Jonathan Swift suggesting that the starving Irish should show initiative by fattening up their children and selling them to well-to-do families as food. The brilliant satirist Sacha Baron Cohen in Larry Charles’ Bruno takes the story of a Gay Austrian fashionista seeking to become a celebrity in the U.S. and stretches it to its logical conclusion and then extends it – way beyond. It is often hard to tell if the film is an expose of the debasement of our culture or just another of example of it
In the film, a sequel to the 2006 mega-hit Borat, Bruno comes to Los Angles to become host of his own A-List Celebrity Max Out after being fired from his job as a TV host of the Austrian show Funkyzeit and being ’schwartz-listed’. Needless to say, it maxes out after the first viewing thanks to an abortive interview with Paula Abdul and Harrison Ford. Not letting a temporary setback stand in his way, Bruno hires an assistant named Lutz (Gustaf Hammarsten), and travels far and wide in an elusive search for the American Dream known as fame and fortune. In his stunts and misadventures (mostly in the South and Southwest), he exposes the raw prejudices that exist against gays and the sickening cult of celebrity that grips us as a nation
The funniest scenes are at a swinger’s party, on a Dallas talk show, at a gay ‘deprogramming’ session, during a visit to a psychic where Bruno mimes oral sex, and the spectacle of a drunken crowd stirred up by ’scared straight’ Bruno bashing gays in a fight-club arena. Seeking to become recognized world wide, Bruno travels to the Middle East to try and bring the Arabs and the Israeli’s together but confuses Hamas with Hummus and the only thing they can agree on is that it is good with pita bread. In another sequence, he goes to Africa to swap his iPod for a little black child named OJ which he uses to crash American talk shows. Baron Cohen, who wrote the script with Anthony Hines, Dan Mazer and Jeff Schaffer saves his heavy artillery for narrow mindedness of every stripe
The film ridicules all it comes in contact with, sparing nothing and nobody – from exhibitionist gays to up-tight straights, to families who will starve their children for a modeling gig. Some sequences hit their targets, others do not. If you are looking for good taste, you will not find it here. While satire in film is not supposed to be a comfortable experience and is supposed to make you squirm and even at times hide your eyes, it is not supposed to make you want to walk out
Bruno travels a thin line between what’s merely outlandish and what is revolting and its in your face shamelessness comes awfully close to defeating its own purpose. The fact that the Cambridge-educated Cohen is ultimately able to pull it off, however, and make it entertaining is a tribute to his courage and originality. While Bruno can be shocking and very disturbing, it is also a mirror for us to look at ourselves. Like the est training of the 1970s that was often confrontational, we may not like what we see but we can use it to grow from the experience.
