“The Devil Wears Prada” Plot Summary
A naive young woman comes to New York and scores a job as the assistant to one of the city’s biggest magazine editors, the ruthless and cynical Miranda Priestly.
Loved it!
I thought the movie was just too cute.. If you’ve read the book, you won’t be disappointed! It’s the story of a young girl who moves to NYC to become a journalist but finds herself working as an assistant for a top notch fashion magazine, which is way out of her style league. The girl is a go-getter so she does what she has to do to make it work and ends up becoming the right hand (wo)man to the editor and chief changing her life (for better or worse) forever. The movie is definitely a feel-good and has you leaving the theater with a smile and a bit more confidence in your walk. I absolutely recommend it and apologize for not giving more details, but it’s too good and I don’t want to ruin it for anyone!Also, for you guys… a lot of males were at the special showing and I heard a few say they surprisingly liked it (including one of my ‘macho’ guy friends) so if you’re looking for a nice date or a surprise for your loved one, it’s a good pick!

“The Pelican Brief” Movie Review
“The Pelican Brief” Plot Summary
A law student uncovers a conspiracy, putting herself and others in danger. add synopsis
Most enjoyable thriller
Another complex legal thriller from author John Grisham (‘The Firm’) is brought professionally to the screen by director Alan J. Pakula (‘Presumed Innocent’).As in the Sydney Pollack film ‘The Firm’, ‘The Pelican Brief’ requires concentration and attention to detail as it relates the story of New Orleans law student Darby Shaw (Julia Roberts), whose theoretic paper, which outlines what she believes to be the reasons behind the brutal assassinations of two Supreme Court judges, lands her in hot water when it passes into the wrong hands. Her brief, it would seem, is much too close to the truth for comfort. So begins a frenetic chase as Darby runs for her life whilst she searches for someone in whom to place her trust. She finds that confidant in Washington Herald reporter Gray Grantham (Denzel Washington), whose determined yet ethical pursuit of the truth is both admirable and effective
Grisham’s involved novel (which probably loses much specific detail in crossing to the big screen) gives the movie a plot that is fascinating enough to carry proceedings alone, however Pakula’s effective direction and his choice of two popular stars does no harm to the cause. Both Roberts and Washington are in good form and give strong performances, as do the impressive supporting cast
A most enjoyable, and occasionally tense, thriller whose beginning and finale are both far outdone by the fast middle

“The Lovely Bones” Movie Review
“The Lovely Bones” Plot Summary
Centers on a young girl who has been murdered and watches over her family – and her killer – from heaven. She must weigh her desire for vengeance against her desire for her family to heal.
Lovely Fantasy Thriller
I honestly don’t know why The Lovely Bones has gotten so many bad reviews on this site. The entire cast was exceptional especially Stanley Tucci as the creepy killer. Miss Ronan was very good as Susie the unfortunate victim. She appears to be an actress to watch for in the future. Susie is a 14 year old girl who is murdered and finds herself in a world that is somewhere in between heaven. She stays in this world to somehow contact her family into knowing who killed her. The fantasy ‘heaven’ sequences are well done. They make you believe there is such a place. The film gradually builds up suspense. The ending will have you on the edge of your seat when Susie’s sister goes snooping in the killer’s house. I didn’t expect much after reading some of the negative reviews but it just goes to show that you have to see it for yourself. This is one of the best films so far this year.

“What Just Happened” Movie Review
“What Just Happened” Plot Summary
Two weeks in the life of a fading Hollywood producer who’s having a rough time trying to get his new picture made.
A very entertaining and ironic, expository comedy!
I just love a good comedy, especially if it’s searingly expository and has that unique ability to blow you away with one-liners and exceptionally witty dialogue. Barry Levinson’s ‘What Just Happened’ is one such comedy
Written by Art Linson (and based on his memoir), the veteran Hollywood producer of, um…I have no idea what, this film is about a Hollywood producer (duh), who’s having trouble accompanied by serious amounts of stress in his life. His latest film which hasn’t yet been released is receiving hateful reviews because of a scene where a dog is murdered in cold-blood, so it’s his job to convince the high-strung, bohemian director to cut the scene away and fix the ending. (By the way, the dog IS fine, the animal wasn’t harmed). Meanwhile, his upcoming film is about to be closed down because the $20,000,000 star they hired for the leading macho heart-breaker leading role refuses to trim a Messiah-like beard and lose some weight
This producer has to deal with finding a way to fix up those two problems, and deal with two broken marriages for which he has to pay child support and alimony. Whta we’re entreated to is a very honest memoir-to-film view of Hollywood and the, supposedly, ab-fab lifestyles producers, directors and actors are involved in
Oh, don’t get me wrong. They DO live in multi-million dollar pads with every luxuriousness available to mankind, they DO travel in class and in the latest car designed, they DO believe themselves to be Kings of the World and therefore are entitled to throw hissies and destroy entire sets in a fit of rage because, ooh, they’re being paid twenty million dollars for a movie role and they refuse to shave their beards cuz it ‘interferes with their artistic sensibilities’.I consider this film to be an entertaining backstage look at how the movie-making process begins and ends, with high-chair studio executives controlling the board game, producers trying to make some sense into it, and directors and actors trying to salvage their artistic projects before they’re turned into money-grubbing crap
Have I mentioned most of the dialogue in the film is held through phone conversations? Well, it is. It sort of reminds me of ‘Dr. Strangelove’ and how important decisions and courses of actions are decided through the phone while the speakers try to deal with their own little dramas. Only that in ‘Dr. Strangelove’ it’s nuclear war and potential human extinction; here it’s beard-shaving and scene-cutting
The movie is, also, extremely funny. You’ll be chuckling your way through it all, and there’s a scene or two (plus a collection of stupendous one-liners) that will make you explode in laughter. Which, I think, is priceless nowadays, when apart from a few choice movies, every comedy churned out is basically silly and uninteresting
There’s a great deal of irony here. I won’t go into details for fear of spoiling a surprise or two, but I must say that the pervasive use of irony in the film is to be applauded. This is one of the truly entertaining movie experiences you’ll have
Rating: 3 stars and a half out of 4!!

“Road to Perdition” Movie Review
“Road to Perdition” Plot Summary
Bonds of loyalty are put to the test when a hitman’s son witnesses what his father does for a living.
This film proves why Tom Hanks is one of the best actors ever.
I loved this film! I’m a true Tom Hanks fan, and I have always been impressed with all of his work. From his most dramatic roles like Cast Away, The Green Mile, Saving Private Ryan, Forrest Gump, Apollo 13 & Philadelphia. To his hilarious roles like A League of Their Own, Turner and Hooch, Catch Me If You Can, The Lady Killers, Big & of course Toy Story. But in this film Hanks isn’t the only great actor who lights up the screen. Tyler Hoechlin, an up and coming star who shows great promise in Hollywood co stars as Hanks son and delivers nothing short of a great performance. He is certainly someone to watch out for over his career, I believe he will do great things. Paul Newman as always delivers a brilliant performance on screen. He is truly a legend. We can’t forget the people who didn’t have such big roles in the film, but still helped make it great. The beautiful & very talented Jennifer Jason Leigh, who’s performance in Bastard Out of Carolina & Single White Female I will never forget, brings her grace to the screen as Hank’s wife in the film and does a superb job. Liam Aiken is another found treasure in film. He does such a great job with such a small role, and like his roles in Lemony Snickets, and Sweet November, and I Dreamed Of Africa he gives a great performance.

“Robots” Movie Review
“Robots” Plot Summary
In a robot world, a young idealistic inventor travels to the big city to join his inspiration’s company, only to find himself opposing its sinister new management.
Robin was best
Robin Williams was truly the star of the show. Robots was able to give him a leash to run with and explore his comic talent. He went wild with no ‘restrictions’ to hold him back. It was a role that allowed him to be a free spirit with his character and show off his real talent. Many people will disagree with me stating that his ‘acting’ was over the top but it was a release for him and he went wild with the part. The other actors tried their best to keep up with him with quirks and little jokes but nothing kept up to the level of Robin. Fender is his best role in the sense of comic relief. The Genie in Aladdin provided the release back then.

“The Tale of Despereaux” Plot Summary
The tale of three unlikely heroes – a misfit mouse who prefers reading books to eating them, an unhappy rat who schemes to leave the darkness of the dungeon, and a bumbling servant girl with cauliflower ears – whose fates are intertwined with that of the castle’s princess.
We loved it.
The movie was Excellent. My son who is 2 1/2 was just so into it and not scared. They are just rats. Why is everyone so sensitive?! A lot of cartoons have animals that scare people in real life like snakes. Besides, based on personal experience, there was friend who would not let her son watch Ratatouille because of the rats, but then let him watch Dark Knight, hmmm? The mouse was so cute. I really enjoyed that this cartoon finally took a turn from what is usually out there. Right now we are stationed in Germany and the Europeans have a lot more cartoons like this. The graphics are just nicer. I do not have a problem with watching cartoons as long as they are not weird like the standard ones on TV today. For example, the digital mickey mouse. They are just not natural enough. I hope that many people will cherish this cartoon and go back to what used to be traditional Disney style and cartoons.

“Terminal” Movie Review
“Terminal” Plot Summary
An eastern immigrant finds himself stranded in JFK airport, and must take up temporary residence there.
A charming and fun movie
The Terminal follows ‘Viktor Navorski, a man from an Eastern European country who flies to New York for a holiday. Upon his arrival, he is told that a war broke out in his country whilst he was in the air, and his government has been overthrown; because of that, Navorski is a man without a country that the U.S. can recognize, thus he is denied entrance to the United States. However, he also can’t be deported until his status can be fixed. Additionally, Navorski barely speaks a word of English, so no one can talk to him and he can’t talk to anyone else.
‘But he somehow adapts and sets up residence in the airport, which makes the man who placed him there unhappy – it seems he is line for a promotion but Navroski’s presence might complicate that. So he tries to get Navorski to leave, but instead the stranded passenger remains where he is.’ The film follows Navorski as he tries to survive in the airport and make it is home, as well as documenting all the people he meets along the way.
Steven Spielberg is doesn’t typically direct films like The Terminal, which closely resembles a romantic-comedy drama – the keyword there being ROMANTIC. Out of his vast and celebrated filmography, there are very little films that pertain to the romance genre. Hence, The Terminal was somewhat of a gamble on the director’s part, and it undoubtedly drew cynicism and scepticism from the public on whether he could pull it off.
And the result: The Terminal is a success. The film is an enjoyable blend of the three aforesaid genres, and is a delight to watch. Amidst the typical Spielberg epics that have propelled him into the English lexicon (e.g. Schindler’s List, Saving Private Ryan, Jaws), The Terminal is a breath of fresh air. Not to say that his other films are bad, it’s just refreshing to experience something new from the experienced director.
However, I couldn’t help but notice the emptiness of the film; yes, it’s very entertaining and a treat to watch, but overall the film didn’t do much for me. In the end in fact, I found the film to be quite pointless, and not a film that was thought-provoking at all. I realised that Spielberg’s films usually have a profound effect on its viewers, even long after the movie has ended. The Terminal, in all its delight and appeal, failed to do this at all. I was rather annoyed, hence the feeling of emptiness.
Then I realised that The Terminal is not like the director’s other films, and is a venture into the unknown. Spielberg didn’t want the film to be though-provoking, and just wanted it to be movie to entertain people, and nothing more. After this epiphany, I realised that despite being annoyed by the void of emptiness, it wouldn’t be fair to give this film a negative review. After all, it achieved its goal, am I right? This is probably why the film got mixed reviews from critics and audiences; they were expecting Steven Spielberg to astound us an amazing story of bravery, courage, survival and brotherhood, or a riveting biographical film, or a dystopian, post-apocalyptic thriller to keep us on the edge of our seats. They anticipated the wrong thing, and that’s why they didn’t like it.
Being a romantic-comedy-drama, The Terminal didn’t want us to experience the brutality of war, nor did it want to educate us on 19th Century history. It simply set out to entertain us, and keep us enthralled for two hours. Did it do that? Yes, and exceptionally well if I may add. Don’t get me wrong – despite being an atypical Spielberg movie, it still shows the traits of a master sitting in the director’s chair. The Terminal is an excellently made film that is one of the smartest, and most enjoyable romantic-comedies I’ve seen, no doubt about it.

Very Entertaining
When i was reading through the comments below, i was really disappointed by the comments and reviews people gave. They just don’t understand the purpose of this movie. It is true that this movie doesn’t contain any moral values, but the question is, SO WHAT? A good movie doesn’t have to teach us morals or give us a lesson. Since when do you guys watch movies to learn about morals? Even though it will be advantageous to watch a movie that has a message, it is not required for a good movie. The reason why i give this movie 10/10 is because the plot was very witty and entertaining. The ending was very unpredictable and very satisfying. It is one of those movies that you will not understand the whole plot or the genius of the movie till the end. It’s the very end that makes the movie exceptional. In most movies, you will be able to guess the ending, or the ending won’t be that shocking. But this movie brings out a different approach. It is only one of its kind, so if you like movies that keeps you thinking, you don’t want to miss this one.

yummy.
I have to say this movie met, but didn’t quite exceed my expectations. A little word of advice: don’t go see this hungry! I left wanting buy Mastering the Art of French Cooking! The story moves along nicely, but never really has a high point. Just a lot of good humor and French food. Of the two leading characters, I found Julia to be much more entertaining to watch, proving once again that Meryl Streep can do absolutely no wrong. Streep is a joy to watch as she towers over most of the extras as the 6′2 Child and captures Julia’s love of life and big personality perfectly. I smell another Oscar nomination coming her way. That doesn’t mean that Amy Adams wasn’t good, it was just that Julie wasn’t as interesting. Stanley Tucci was also very good as Paul, Julia’s husband. This movie isn’t anything spectacular but certainly doesn’t disappoint. It leaves you with a warm feeling in your heart and an empty stomach. Bon Appetit!
