Speed Racer (2008)

Mach 5 for the win in the Grand Prix!

Call me a kid or anything you want, but I loved this movie!

Racer X for the hit

I was not really into the cartoon series but this movie got to me. Set in a world where the cars in the Grand Prix are super modified with gadgets such as bouncing the car into a somersault,protection against bullets and a few more gadgets I would love to have in my car!

Mach 5 in Action in the Rally Race

The story revolves around Speed racer and his family. He lost his brother years ago to the Crucible Cross Country Rally,a deadly tournament where rules are followed by the racers or at least pretended to be followed by the racers. Death traps,hammers,bees,snakes,etc are one of the deadly evils one might come across here.Speed joins this rally with Racer X(A mysterious super racer with his identity hidden ) and Taejo in the hopes to change the racing world which has been infested with people who rig races and cheat. His dreams of competing in the Grand Prix also seems to be short lived since he rejected the offer made by Royalty industries( a Huge company hell bent on signing speed as their racer,he refuses because its evil and a bad corporation)which makes him their enemy. They are hell bent on destroying him and keep him away from the win.
His only support is his family who help him in making his Super Awesome Mach 5.

Chim Chim and Spritle

The rally race is brilliant,colors never seemed to beautiful, ha ha.
The comic relief surprisingly is in the small package of Spritle(Paulie Litt) & Chim Chim(the cute little chimp),these two are hilarious and something to look out for!

Speed's Family-Trixie,Mom,Pops,and Sparky

His love interest Trixie(Christina Ricci) is cute,hot and adventurous all in one package. Adventurous why you ask? Watch the movie you will understand. I would give this movie a 6 out of 10. So watch it on a lazy afternoon and relax.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)

Mr. & Mrs. Smith

Angelina And Brad Pitt : Last scene

You can see Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie on screen in this one. Its a story of how two secret Assassins  marry each other unaware of each others identity and find it out after 5 or 6 years through unfortunate circumstances. And suddenly their boring married life isn't boring anymore,its full of gunfire,rigged elevators,small bombs,big bombs,other secret agents, deceit,bait,knives,bazookas,car chase,and the list never ends. The way they have shown how John and Jane discover their identities really kept me glued to my screen. Its a fun and a light movie. Definitely worth a watch. Their chemistry on screen is fantastic,and maybe this is just me or maybe even you guys felt it,but somewhere I could see Lara Croft here in Angelina's Role as Jane. Watch out for it. 

Back To The Future 3 (1990)

Micheal J.Fox and Christopher Lloyd

Buford Tannen asking his pal what comes after 6

In the end of back to the future 2,Marty watches the doc get electrocuted with the Delorean in the year 1955. Almost instantaneously he gets a mysterious letter which is from the doc who says he got time traveled  to the year 1885 and he is happy with his life there. But a very disturbing discovery compels Marty to go back in 1885 to save his friend and get him back to the year 1985. But as always,its never that easy,they have to battle thugs,party old west style,find love,and as it has always been, return Back to the Future!

The last scene,it upset me a bit since this was the last movie

Watch out for the vivid view of the old west hill valley shown and its apparent  resemblance to the Hill valley of the future. The back ground score in the party scene is lovely.

Back To The Future 2 (1989)

Biff Tannen In alternate 1985

Marty with his mother in the alternate 1985

 The sequel for the popular 1st installment begins from the end of the 1st part. Marty is just back from the past but he is taken to the year 2015 by Dr.Emmett Brown to save Marty's son from getting caught and thrown into prison. But not everything goes as planned when the 2015 Biff Tannen goes into the past in 1955 and gives the young biff a book which shows the scores of all the sports till 2015,this book makes him rich since he exactly knows which team to bet on. Now its up to Marty and Dr.Brown to save their present and their past. They save their present and their past too,but this is not the end of adventures for Marty and Dr.Emmett. The last scene tells us that there is going to be an awesome 3rd part to this movie too! The movie is portrayed in such a way that we will be compelled to see the 3rd part. Loved this sequel though it seemed a bit slow in the middle.

Back To The Future 1 (1985)

Marty's Performance on "Johnny Be Good"

Christopher Lloyd & Micheal J. Fox

 The year is 1985,a crazy old scientist Dr. Emmett Brown(Christopher Lloyd) creates a time machine in a DeLorean which runs on stolen plutonium. In this process his close and probably only friend Marty Mcfly(Micheal J. Fox) is accidently sent to the year 1955. There he runs into his parents and puts his own existence in jeopardy. Now its up to Marty to take help of the 1955 Dr. Brown and get back to the future as well as help in making his parents meet to save his existence. Watch out for Marty's Performance on "Johnny Be Good" in the end. All in all a great movie,totally worth your time. Revisit these classics. My next post will talk about the sequel to this movie so watch out for it!

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted (2012)

The 3rd installment to the popular Madagascar series doesn't disappoint. This time Alex and his team are off to return to the big apple,but in between they take a detour 

to Monte Carlo to get the penguins,in this process they get involved in a crazy run and chase game with the Captain of the animal Control who is hell bent on killing them and keeping their carcasses as spoils of war.

The  Penguins!

As if this wasn't enough, to be inconspicuous from everyone they join a circus to travel around where they run into the fierce tiger Vitaly and the jaguar Gia and obviously the rest of the circus troops.

The comic relief can be seen in every character but King Julian is as usual a must character to look out for,his love story is absolutely hilarious! And lets not forget the penguins, they are the bosses. The way they maneuver whatever they drive is brilliant. The eventful journey of Alex,Marty,Gloria & Melman is what makes this movie always worth it. Watch out for the Circus performance in the end, superb effects and choreography used. Don't miss out on this one, its not only made for kids,its for everybody! 

The Afro Circus Dance and song! A must watch!

Men In Black 3 (2012)

A different story line than the previous parts, Men In Black 3 takes you on a joy fall (literally).The starts with Boris the Animal breaking out of a prison in moon,going into the past, and killing Agent K. Due to such circumstances the whole timeline changes and Agent J(Will Smith) is the only one aware of this change,nobody else seems to realize this. So he decides to go into the past in a world where there are 2 Boris the Animal's and a very stubborn & young Agent K(Josh Brolin). The story freakishly unfolds into a well laid out suspense which might get predictable after a while. Watch out for the way Agent J travels into the past,the opening scene with Nicole Scherzinger,and weird predictions of the Griffin. The old Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) doesn't have much of a role in this one sadly but still its totally worth a watch.

Ace Ventura (1994)

 Ace Ventura (Jim Carrey) is a highly impulsive "PET" Detective. He has this unconditional love for animals,he's flamboyant,eccentric, but still is a fantastic detective with a great attention to detail.His next big case requires him to find a dolphin who is the mascot for a football team. Ace is bloody fantastic in the mental hospital scene,worth watching 3 times. Lt. Lois Einhorn(Sean Young) is his arch enemy in the police force,their regular activity of taking shots at each other is hilarious.
 A must watch movie for those who haven't seen this yet. Jim Carrey at his usual best.

 

You don't mess with the Zohan (2008)

Adam Sandler is Zohan, a Special Agent for Israel, and by special i mean really special. He is a kind of super soldier who is capable of doing unimaginable things. Things like making a dog toy out of rocks, stopping a bullet with his nose, punching and kicking through walls to catch his not so successful Palestinian counterpart Phantom (John Turturro). But this is not what Zohan wants, he wants peace, he wants to be a hairstylist. So he moves in to New York by faking his death. Trouble ensues over there for him as he falls in love, tries to save a locality from being destroyed and as usual fights phantom. A funny and time pass movie in my opinion. Watch it. Note: It has many scenes kids should not watch, and look out for Mariah Carey. Go Zohan!

Date Night (2010)

 How many marriages get boring after a couple of years with the busy work,kids,duties etc? well almost all of them. But its up to the couple how change it or make it worse. This movie exactly shows this when Phil Foster (Steve Carrel) and his wife Claire Foster (Tina Fey) try to get some spice in their monotonous life by dining in the city in a fancy restaurant. Due to no empty tables these two take someone else's reservations after which there is a bad case of mistaken identities,cop chase, pole dances, and lets leave the rest for your movie experience. Not a great movie but surely a one time watch with your friends. Steve is a delight as usual. Comic relief.

Yes Man (2008)

Carl ( Jim Carrey) is a pessimistic, unhelpful, and a huge procrastinator.He's stuck at his boring bank job since ages, when he comes across an old friend who introduces him to a new way of life. The power of Yes. He fixates on the idea that saying yes always gets you good things, saying no makes it worse. Since its a Jim Carrey movie,u don't have to guess that its going to be a hilarious movie.Average Story but good for a few laughs. Watch out for Jim Carrey on a ducati with his butt popping out.
