Good movie. I can’t believe Harrison Ford can still pull off a movie single handedly.
So Harrison Ford is the VP of Network Security for a bank. Paul Bettany is the guy who wants Ford to withdraw $10,000 each from the bank’s top 10,000 richest clients and transfer it to his Cayman islands account. He along with his 4 accomplices are holding Ford’s family as hostages.

Will Ford be able to save his family in time or will he let the bank that he has protected all his life be stolen from ?

My 3 and a half stars out of 5 for this one.

A good movie to miss. Even on DVD. A musical. Poor casting (but Uma Thurman is gorgeous).

Didn’t really understand the humor of the movie till the end. A few funny moments here and there thats all. The musical was not very musical.

The main story line of this movie is, an accountant, Matthew Broderick and a broadway producer, Nathan Lane, try to produce a FLOP broadway show so that they can make big money using some basic accounting tricks. They manage to find a horrible story written by a Nazi supporter, Will Ferrell, based on Hitler which they are sure will FLOP. They hire a gay director and the worst cast ever.

Obviously instead of being a FLOP the show becomes a big satirical hit and things don’t go according to plan. The producers are angry because they didn’t get their flop and Will Ferrel is angry because Hitler was potrayed as a comic character.
The cops intervene and catch Nathan Lane with the books and put him in jail.
Nathan Lane feels betrayed and just when he is about to get the sentence, here comes back Matthew Broderick. Then there is a very bland end to this movie, don’t really have much to talk about it.

My 1 and a half stars out of 5 for this one.

Didn’t like it. Maybe because I wasn’t paying attention as I was watching the 11pm friday night show. But I don’t really think that is the reason. I usally watch movies, be it at any time of the day, with full concentration . And this one didn’t really hit the spot. It could also be because I had a lot of expectations from this sequel.

Anyways whatever be the reason, I found the movie below average. The story is weak but well connected to part one. Davy Jones is looking for Captain Jack Sparrow as his 13 years are over serving as captain of the Black Pearl and now Jack has to serve on Davy’s ship as promised. Also looking for him are the British authorities. They arrest Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley and want them to get something back from Jack Sparrow.

This is basically what drives the whole movie. Everyone wants Johnny Depp .

The movie has light weak humor, but 1 great fight sequence; you’ll know what I’m talking about when you see it.

In the end there is a clear indication to Part 3.
I would say you can watch this one on DVD at home. My 2 and a half stars for this.

The movie has been extremely popular among the people I know who have seen it. Even my wife Ash says she loved this movie. I thought it was above average though, not fantastic.

The parts that put me off were, too much romance for Superman in the movie and almost all the climax scenes being very predictable. Otherwise the movie has done a good job with the special effects, story and the new young Superman, Brandon Routh.
In some scenes where his face has been shown partially in the dark shadow, the shape of his face would remind the viewers of the original Superman, late Christopher Reeve.

The movie is a continuation, I guess, of the original Superman movie series. Superman suddenly returns after being gone for 5 years. The love of his life, Lois Lane now has a little boy and is seeing a successful editor in Daily Planet. She is upset with Superman for having left her without giving her a reason. Thats where all the drama and romance is going on (too cheesy for my liking in a super hero movie).

On the other hand Lex Luthor played by Kevin Spacey is devicing yet another plan to kill Superman and take over the world. So with the love of his life having moved on, Superman has to forget his grief and once again save the world and himself from Lex Luthor’s evil plan.

Can he succeed or is he overcome by Lex ? To see what happens in the end watch this classic superhero movie…SUPERMAN RETURNS.

My 3.5 / 5 stars for this one.
