Life of Pi (2012) - Adventure | Drama | Fantasy

Life of Pi (2012) - GREAT MOVIE

  The film is an celebration of visionary cinematography, top-notch 3D development and poetic story telling. Not mentioning its awesome screenplay.
  It's a true masterpiece that only Ang Lee's genius can manifest from Yann Martel's fabulous writing. It is a kind of stories that send its hanging-in-the-air message through a unique fantasy, which incredibly feels real. Pi's relationship with tiger named Richard Parker in life and death situations describe human's relationship with its creator: God always understands human perfectly and human can never understand God's perfection.  
   'Life Of Pi' without any overstatement is a landmark achievement. It's a shining crown jewel in this oceanic, gigantic world of cinema. Something to be cherished and admired. And something that doesn't happen very often.
    "I just told you two stories. Which one do you prefer?" "The one with the Tiger." "And so it is with God."
   I'm a believer. In something not very different from God I think.
   And yes, always "the one with the Tiger." 

 

Identity Thief (2013) - Comedy | Crime

Identity Thief (2013) - GOOD MOVIE

  Melissa McCarthy is flat out hysterical. This movie about Jason Bateman having his identity stolen is non-stop laughs from beginning to end. It is very heart warming at the end. Trust me go and see this movie if you feel like laughing. Melissa and Jason are two fine actors that play off each other well. And surprisingly there is also action in this movie too! The physical comedy brings back memories of classic comedies that preceded it. This sight of Melissa running from Jason is enough to bring tears to your eyes. Also, the mean bounty hunter is great! This is definitely the best comedy this year. Although the plot is simple it is very well executed. 

  Give it a shot and see what you think; you're sure to laugh at some point! :) 

Cinderella 3D (2012) - Animation

Cinderella 3D (2012) - BAD ANIMATION

   It's a very loose adaptation of the original classic 'Cinderella' story, but fitted into a cowboy theme. I'm not sure they pulled it off all that well. The animation is acceptable, but it's a million miles from the quality of Disney (a totally unfair comparison I know), but it's a very low budget Animation.
  I watched the English speaking version and perhaps the original French speaking one would have been better. Hmmm, I guess I got lost in translation.

  Only recommended for 4-12 year olds.
