Alice In Wonderland – The Movie 2010 and the Miniseries 2009

Written by Emma on March 22nd, 2010

Finally saw it ~ It was neither bad nor was it fabulous. It was just Alice. Perhaps a bigger screen would have helped. I would still recommend watching it, though :)

Although by the end of it I disliked the white queen as much as the red queen. The typical goody two shoes, I am so sweet, cannot hurt a fly, dumb blonde act … Ugh!!!!!

Best line in the movie was ~ This is Underland. Last time you got it wrong. You thought it was Wonderland.

However, I personally preferred the Sci Fi miniseries staring Matt Frewer and Harry Dean Stanton.

True, this was a very different take on Alice but that is what made it more fun to watch. You did not know what to expect.

Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (Kabhi na Dekhna)

Written by Emma on September 14th, 2006

One word – Agonizing!!!

4 hours of agonizing torture!

This is the kind of movie that leaves a bitter taste in your mouth and ruins the rest of the day and you wonder why you are feeling so bad!

The reasons are plenty once you think about it.

1. The movie takes a serious topic and deals with it very non-seriously.
2. It tries to justify an adulterous relationship.
3. It is very degrading towards women and is filled with sexual innuendos and too many references towards a woman’s butt. What is that all about?
4. It is all about Sex.
5. It is about someone’s twisted view of relationships and how they should work.

At the start I thought this was going to be a very different movie … one which might for the first time be about the emotional bond between a man and a woman. Proved wrong!

Superman Returns

Written by Emma on July 27th, 2006

I was looking forward to this movie a lot. Although I enjoyed it just because it was a Superman movie, there was something lacking and very wrong with it.

1. The story should have taken off where Superman 4 left off not 2. In this Lois Lane is neither married to Superman nor does she know of his true identity.

2. If you look at Superman’s personality over the past 4 movies, he is so in love with Lois Lane that he gives up his powers for her in Part 4. However, in this he leaves her without saying goodbye and disappears for 5 years to find the remnants of his lost world. He is the sweet guy who spends half his salary on his old mother and here he leaves her without a worry as to what will happen to her? Are we really talking abut Superman here? If I want a reality show I will watch one. When I watch Superman I want to see fantasy … a world saved by a hero and a woman he loves so much that he will give up everything for her (and this definitely does not include leaving her for 5 years).

The Lake House

Written by Emma on July 11th, 2006

Starring: Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock

This a cute, romantic story that follows the lives of two individuals who fall in love over time or rather despite time. The story revolves around them communicating with letters and then realizing that they actually live two years apart.

If you are a sci fi buff or like your movies to make sense, forget about logic … this movie is not about that. Otherwise you will find a dozen things that do not make sense. For example: If an x event inspired a y event which led to a z event, then if you take out the x then how do y and z still happen LOL!

Watch the movie…let its emotions sweep you away and don’t think too much and you will fall in love with it. That is the way to watch any romantic movie.

The Break-Up

Written by Emma on July 6th, 2006

Starring: Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston

A break-up with this movie is what I suggest! Its endless moments of bickering and pointless arguing that does not make sense. And errr was this by any chance supposed to be a comedy?? Personally I don’t see the comedy in two people endlessly arguing about God knows what. There is just too much negativity in this movie and it refuses to redeem itself … although you are hoping that may be now .. may be now…

****BIG Spoilers Ahead****
Considering that Jeniffer Aniston keeps telling the guy that he does not care enuff for her, never spends time in doing the things that she loves to do blah blah, it still comes as a surprise to him when she tells him in the end that that makes her feel unappreciated. Errrr…
