    The Last Exorcism: Movie review

    The Last Exorcism, a film with plenty of good scares, and far more dramatic meat than its advertising campaign suggests. The trailer seems to have been aimed directly at the same crowd who flocked to Paranormal Activity, only to have their brain cells murdered by two dumpy kids trembling in fear of some purportedly spooky camera tricks.

    Fortunately, The Last Exorcism rises above this admittedly low bar. The story is fairly interesting and explores themes of real weight. Reverend Cotton Marcus (Patrick Fabian) is preacher to a small, devout congregation in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Right away, we learn that his actual faith, if any, is a minor component of his calling.

    He is a performer, even going so far as to use card tricks and sleight of hand to illustrate his sermons. He himself admits that he’s in it for the money, and consoles his conscience by emphasizing the peace of mind that his work instills in faithful flock, whether or not he believes what he is telling them. What a humanitarian.

    In addition to his job in the pulpit, Marcus has made a bundle on the side as an exorcist. Here he crosses the line from dubious messenger of the spirit to outright charlatan… as far as he, a non-believer in actual demons, knows. In time, however, the reports of people harmed or killed in more sincere exorcisms have disillusioned even him, and he resolves to perform one last rite in order to expose the whole enterprise as a sham.

    To this end, he brings a documentary crew along to an isolated farm, where a troubled father is convinced his gentle but sorely repressed young daughter, Nell (Ashley Bell) is possessed of a demon and mutilating his cattle. Marcus walks us through his exorcism con game, unbeknown to the father and daughter, who swallow the act all the way. His job done, he counts his absurdly large fee and hits the road. Everyone is happy.

    Until Nell shows up, much worse off than before. Forced to dig deeper into the problem, Marcus discovers that Nell’s personal problems may require professional care. She begins exhibiting undeniable signs of either true demonic possession or deep, deep psychosis, and whatever the answer, Marcus resolves not to walk away until the answers come to light.

     The sticky subject of exorcism has felt a modest revival in popularity, particularly with two recent films built loosely on true events – the stylish and abrasive The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) and the beautiful, heartbreaking Requiem (2006). Like these films,
     The Last Exorcism thoughtfully explores the conflict between the tenets of blind faith and the conventional wisdom of modern medicine, as well as the surprising reluctance of religious authorities to accept the possibility of the supernatural until absolutely forced.

    Movie Review : The Tourist



    This film is directed by Florian Henckel von Dennersmarck and stars Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. The characters in this film play very mysterious roles and the film at first makes the viewers believe that some characters are trying to capture their own particular enemies. This film is full of unexpected turns and surprises that shock the audience.

    To cut the long story short, its plot is according to a well-planned story that shows a woman Elise, who is the lover of Alexander Pearce, a man wanted by the Scotland Yard for embezzling a large amount of money and a man who changed his face entirely and the only person with a clue about it is Elise. ''The Tourist'' plays on an interesting crime thriller genre. The film is first a wealth and beauty fantasy, a visual confection wrapped in glorious clothes, jewels, hotels, boats and views of Venice. 

    The chemistry of the two biggest stars, Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp is very remarkable and interesting. This movie combines with an interesting story about mistaken identity. Johnny Depp was excellent in the role of Frank. Frank is seemingly nothing more than a shy tourist who loves reading spy novels and soon finds himself in one. He almost instantly falls in love with Elise and never gets angry with her for getting him dragged into the dangerous situation that he’s in. Much like Elise, he’s willing to do stupid things for love, but also like Elise, he has a few interesting secrets up his sleeve.

    Overall, this film is a romantic, exciting and action packed movie which meets all the high expectations

    Gulliver's Travels is a live action family film which is directed by Rob Letterman. It is based on the novel by Jonathan Swift which had the same name as this. This film although takes place inthemodern, urbanized world. Released on December 25, this film's release date was changed many times but finally was decided upon one. The film stars Jack Black as the main character of Lemuel Gulliver along with Catherine Tate as Queen of Lilliput. 

     
















            
                         

    cast of the film is :

    • Jack Black as Lemuel Gulliver
    • Emily Blunt as Princess Mary
    • Jason Segel as Horatio
    • Amanda Peet as Darcy Silverman
    • T.J Miller as Dan
    • Catherine Tate as Queen Isabelle
    • Billy Connolly as King Benjamin
    • James Cordon as Prince Joseph
    • Chris O'Dowd as Edward 
    • Romany Malco as Young Hank
    • Nikki Harrup as Jane
    • Olly Alexander  as Prince August.
    The story is very interesting and eye-catching based on Jack Black (Lemuel Gulliver) who is appointed as the boss of a newcomer but the newcomer is promoted and becomes his boss. Deeply grieved at this, he talks to the a journalist and convinces her that he could write a false report about his (fake) travels explaining his dream to be a writer. After a lot of browsing he copies various reports from the internet and provides the journalist with it and she, impressed by the report gives him a new and different task. The task is that he has to travel to the Bermuda Triangle and has to write a report that says that all the ships disappearing while going there is not true, it is some made-up theory. 

    Upon arrival in the Bermuda, he rents a boat but a storm washes him up. He wakes up finding himself on the shore of Lilliput where he is confirmed as a beast by the place's microscopic 1-2 centimeters population. They imprison him claiming him to be dangerous and there he meets another citizen who is sent to jail because he is in love with a girl that the General Edward wants for himself. However, Gulliver breaks himself free from the prison and then saves the princess from being kidnapped and her father from a fire.  

    He is declared to be a hero by the people and then Gulliver makes up a heap of lies telling them that he is the president of the United States. Now watch the movie for yourself and I can assure you that you will have a very bumpy, exciting and adventurous ride. The story contains a lot of hilarious incidents which the watchers will love and wouldn't regret watching the film.

    Movie Review - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows : Hello Friends please have a look on my review on harry potter series and please leave a comment and tell us that you like the movie and what is your opinion about this review.  
                                                        Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 is a film full of curiosity. Some parts are stretched and dull but the other sequences are also very gripping and emotional. Director David Yates and writer Steve Kloves have split JK Rowling’s sprawling and intricate last book into two films. So this one has no discernible narrative arc or climax and feels instead like a set-up.
    The heroes – Harry played by Daniel Radcliffe, Ron played by Rupert Grint and Hermione played by Emma Watson – are no longer in the protective confines of Hogwarts, the school of magic and wizardry. Their beloved headmaster Dumbledore is dead. The Ministry of Magic has been taken over by ultra-conservative, neo-Fascist leaders and Voldermort’s followers are on the rise. This is a dark world, with little cheer or love to break the atmosphere of relentless gloom. At one point, even the three friends, exhausted, desperate and horrifically sad, tear into each other.


    This is the dreariest Harry Potter movie yet but what’s more problematic is, that it’s also the most arcane. Viewers who haven’t read the books or seen all the previous films will be lost in the complex plot, which involves the search for Horcruxes which are objects into which Voldemort has hidden parts of his soul and the search for the Deathly Hallows, three objects which make the person who possesses them death-proof.There are of course several almost fatal attacks by the dark side and just as many escapes. These action scenes are nicely orchestrated—there is a real suspense and sense of danger—but after a while, the pattern becomes predictable

      What’s more interesting is the human emotion and interaction between the three friends including a not-in-the-book scene, in which Harry and Hermione dance together, even as death surrounds them. These actors, who have literally grown up in front of us, have wholly become these characters and yet, their acting doesn’t have enough heft, to support the almost static mid-section of the film. At no point does their predicament devastate you. Eventually then, Harry Potter is grim business—children under ten will find it very scary—but check it out anyway as preparation for the last film, which you will have to see, even if it’s only to give the world’s most successful film franchise, closure.

    Inception -Movie Review

    It’s that time… time for all of you to go out and experience Inception. Some of you may have seen the film, others not,I have tried my best to keep any and all spoilers out of this review while still talking about the film as a whole. If you haven’t seen it,you should be fairly safe, if you have, there’s plenty for you to argue with me about as this is a rather massive review to reflect my enormous opinion about it.

    Christopher Nolan is one of the most visionary filmmakers working today and his new film, Inception, is a stunning achievement that raises the bar for original film making. It challenges the boundaries of cinematic language and expands the conceptual and thematic dimensions of the narrative art form. Nolan, who has always been fascinated with the subject of dreams and the extraordinary potential of the imagination, wrote Inception over a decade ago but was only able to make it after the success of Dark Knight propelled him to the forefront of A-list directors.

    Inception is a highly entertaining, complex and cerebral thriller about a surreal world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion and a single idea within one's mind can be the most dangerous weapon or the most valuable asset. Despite its outlandish premise, the central theme of the story is both personal and universal. At its emotional core is the tragic story of one man’s quest to uncover a long-buried truth and get back home to what he loves most.

    Leonardo DiCaprio anchors the film with a low key, intense performance as Dom Cobb, a skilled thief and coveted player in the dangerous world of high stakes corporate espionage.With a reputation for being the best extractor in the business, he is the guy if you’re in the market for stealing valuable secrets. His rare talent for extracting information from deep within the subconscious during the dream state,when the mind is at its most vulnerable, has also turned him into an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. He is filled with regret, plagued by unresolved guilt and haunted by the memory of his late wife, Mal (Marion Cotillard), who invades his subconscious and messes with his mind in dangerous ways.

    The film was shot on location in six countries on four separate continents. It includes enormous sets and impressive sequences.Inception is an intelligent, imaginative and highly original sci-fi actioner that’s hugely entertaining and proves there are no rules for what the mind can create. Christopher Nolan demonstrates once again that he is an extraordinary filmmaker and delivers a compelling film that is very fresh, very different and also quite personal. Inception promises to be one of the hottest tickets this summer.
