Friends (Season 3)

*ing : Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer

Director : David Crane, Marta Kauffman

Tagline : All you need is friends !


Season 3 has been watched and it’s the fastest any show I have seen with all the episodes in it. It helps watching it cause the episodes are shorter (23 mins each on average) and second that its soo funny you just watch it ever without getting bored. Once I am done with all the seaons (there are 10 of them) , I am sure I am gonna re watch them often enough. wud love to watch it with my spouse also, only if she has enuf understanding of humor and or enjoys watching the shows. Hope I get someone like that. Meanwhile, looking forward to watch rest of the seasons.

Safety Not Guranteed

*ing : Aubrey Plaza, Jake Johnson and Karan Soni
Director : Colin Trevorrow

Tagline :


It’s more an indie movie with some sci-fi connection to it. There is ad in paper which is extremely weird and attention grabbing. The ad says that A man is looking for someone to time travel and that person to bring its own weapons and the safety is not guaranteed. He ends up the ad saying its not a joke. A magazine gets interested and wants to do a story so they send report and interns to spy on the man and to get more information. The girl gets involved in the guy. Turns out that there are other people also interested in him and are following him. He sometimes seems a crazy guy and sometimes it seems he is talking sense. The climax I wont reveal but I did not find the whole film very good..Watch only if u want to.

Project X

*ing : Thomas Mann, Oliver Cooper and Jonathan Daniel Brown
Director : Nima Nourizadeh

Tagline : The Party You've Only Dreamed About

You cant not have less expectations from film produced by makers of “the hangover” which so far is supposed to be greatest party movie ever. (However the film had less of party and more of aftermath of it) .. Project X can be described in truest sense a true party movie. And how..
Few unknown teenagers from high school wants to throw a birthday party and wants to have decent number of guests so that they can become popular in their school and get laid at night. But their night turns out same as expected and beyond. they were expecting not more than 50 guests and party ends up having 2000 crazy crowds with unlimited booze, ecstasy pills and enough number of girls. Which ends up attracting neighbors, police, media. The party goes completely out of control with riots happening between police and people attending the party. Also, the house and entire neighborhood is burned down by crazy crowds. Its just freaking hilarious. And as the tagline suggests, the greatest party that ever happened. Watch it and enjoy it,, its darn funny too..

Intouchables

*ing : François Cluzet, Omar Sy and Anne Le Ny
Director : Olivier Nakache, Eric Toledano


Tagline : Sometimes you have to reach into someone else's world to find out what's missing in your own

I have seen few French films and they always surprise you , and how !
Intouchables is a marvelous amazing film. One of the best I have seen this year. Its about a disabled bt rich guy who’s entire body is paralyzed except the part above his neck. He is looking for a nurse (male) to take care of him. There are many applicants who are interviewed who are more qualified but he ends up choosing a rebellious black young man. The reason he gives is that he doesn’t need empathy or pity from other qualified applicants. He needs someone who can treat him as a normal man.
The two forms an unusual bond and friendship which is soo charming yet so funny. The chemistry between the leads is really to envy for. The film is more likeable to when you learn that the story is real. Yes, there was such situation in France and that’s where the story has been inspired from. This film has already earned 2100cr worldwide and is up in Oscars for foreign category. I say move aside kaju-barfi and others; Intouchables will be there all the way.

Purab Aur Pacchhim

*ing : Manoj Kumar, Pran, Saira Banu
Director : Manoj Kumar

This is another patriotic movie made by Manoj “Bharat” Kumar where he plays Bharat once again. It is among is more successful films. film also had some popular songs like “dulhan chali” “koi jab tumhara hridaya tod de” etc. bt the sole reason I wanted to watch the film is to learn about India and UK of 70s. the contrast between both the cultures and why people detested west soo much and why they thought India’s culture was better. Well, I am not the type to deride any culture per se. just because a girl smokes and drinks and wears small clothes doesn’t mean their culture is not good. its their way of living and they have got success with their lifestyle. We cant beat our chest saying we are morally higher than others. The film exaggerates many scenes and its laughable to see. More so cause we are much exposed to western culture now. May be when the film released it may have been success as people believed whatever they saw on the screen. However u have to appreciate the intentions of making film by manoj kumar. He was a true patriotic in many sense, a little jingoistic too if I may add.

The Incredible Hulk

*ing : Edward Norton, Tim Roth, Liv Tyler
Director : Louis Leterrier

Tagline : You'll like him when he's angry.

The only hulk movie so far I had seen was The Avengers. Somehow the character never attracted me despite being quite popular. However in The Avengers, Hulk was one of the most important characters and was played impeccably by Mark Ruffallo. And as the popular saying goes, Hulk just smashed in The Avengers. So I became curious to watch atleast one film made on The Hulk. Also, one of my favorite director Ang Lee had also made a Hulk movie. I actually wanted to one directed by Ang Lee but ended up watching the next movie in franchise “The Incredible Hulk” which as Edward Norton Playing the Hulk, a scientist gone wrong in an experiment. The movie is OK and I dint find it that good.. nowhere in league of The Avenger’s Hulk. Hulk basically is a dark character with lot of issues of his own. So it was wrong to expect film to be super entertaining . yet, it could not keep my attention for its duration. Watch it only if u r a fan of HULK.

Director : David Crane, Marta Kauffman

Tagline : All you need is friends !

Season 2 has been watched and I dnt have nothing to add than wat I said earlier. Except it gets funnier,, wittier and more enjoyable. You get to know the characters and their quirks more closely. You learn who are your favorite characters and what you like more about them (which changes often depending on the episode you watch) . It’s the best fun you will ever have watching a television show. Dnt miss it. Not a single episode of single season.
