Movie Review : The Fault In Our Stars (2014)

 Movie Review : The Fault In Our Stars (2014)

Plot: 

-“Life doesn’t have to be perfect for love to be extraordinary.”

The Fault in Our Stars is a 2014 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Josh Boone, based on the novel of the same name by John Green. The film stars Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, and Nat Wolff, with Laura Dern, Sam Trammell, and Willem Dafoe in supporting roles. Woodley plays Hazel Grace Lancaster, a sixteen-year-old cancer patient who is forced by her parents to attend a support group, where she subsequently meets and falls in love with Augustus Waters, portrayed by Ansel Elgort.

Movie Review:

Note: If you think this is another chick-flick, a stupid perverted rom-com or a depressing story about cancer, ATTENTION: IT ISN’T.

Being a true fan of John Green’s ‘The Fault’, I was looking forward to its movie adaptation with great anticipation. And this movie is just spot on. Josh Boone was successful to bring out the essence of the book on the big screen in the right manner. The actors portraying the characters were utterly perfect and had a great understanding about their roles. I’ll start by talking about the rising enigma i.e. Shailene Woodley (known for her lead role in “Divergent”). She plays the terminally-ill Hazel Grace like no one else could have & makes me see Hazel in a new light. I greatly appreciate the qualities Hazel possesses of empathy, kindness, wit and no-nonsense attitude. I laughed with her, I cried with her & most of all, I understood her. That is what a protagonist is supposed to make you feel like and she did her job well. 

“The world is not a wish-granting factory.”

Now, my favorite character i.e. Augustus Waters, who is portrayed by the new and talented actor Ansel Elgort (seen in “Carrie” and “Divergent”). I am just biased when it comes to him. First of all, I am irrevocably in love with Augustus Waters; secondly, Ansel is just so cute and charming like a peacock in this role..that I cannot even describe it to the best of my capabilities. He’s just adorable. *Sigh* He came in Hazel’s life and changed it forever, likewise he changed mine too.

“You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.”

 Here’s a fun fact:

Ansel Elgort who played Shailene’s brother in Divergent is her “Epic love” in this movie. Yes, that’s right! Believe me, this movie isn’t awkward at all but seeing them as siblings in Divergent definitely was.

So I was talking about Ansel/Gus. He did his role of a pretentious ,dramatic ,metaphor-believing witty, and funny Augustus with utmost perfection. But when it came to cute, vulnerable, loving, caring , and emotional Augustus, he broke all the dams that were holding my tears back. I literally cried. I won’t give any spoilers though. Those who have read the book know what I am talking about and those who haven’t should a) READ IT! What are you waiting for? It’s a thin book with a roller coaster of emotions. & b) after reading the book, watch the movie! Because this is among the best book adaptations ever.

“I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”

Then the cute/blind best friend Isaac is played by Natt Wolff. He is a great comic-relief in this movie. I loved how naturally he said all his lines like a normal person does, but I wish he had more scenes just like in the book. He was great though.& so was Hazel’s mom, played by Laura Dern .She reminded me of my own mom. Hazel’s father, Patrick from support-group & last and the least (pun intended) Peter van Houten were all like a fragmentation of my imagination put into reality.

“It's a metaphor, see: You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don't give it the power to do its killing.”-Augustus

The soundtrack of this movie is equally entertaining and is on repeat on my playlist. ‘All of the Stars’ by Ed Sheeran captures the soul of the entire movie. “All I Want” by Kodaline with its beautiful lyrics capture the tragic element and if you are looking for a peppy-teen number, listen to ‘Boom Clap’ by Charli XCX. ‘Let Me In’ by Grouplove is another good one.

Thank you John Green for bestowing the world with your acerbic wit in the form of Fault and thank you Josh Boone for making it soo perfect.

In a nutshell, this movie is worth every smile, every tear, every laugh. Watch it with your bffs or alone and have the time of your life. Okay? Okay.

“Oh, I wouldn't mind, Hazel Grace. It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you.”

-Augustus

This movie is worth all the hype it is creating and is already my favourite romantic movie. I’ll rate it with:

Movie Review : Confessions Of A Shopaholic (2009)

Movie Review : Confessions Of A Shopaholic (2009)

Plot:

“Life would be a lot easier if conversations were rewindable and erasable, like videos."

An American comedy film based on a series of novels by the author Sophie Kinsella, Confessions of a shopaholic is kind of an autobiography of a hopeless shopaholic Rebecca Bloomwood.

She is crazy about clothes and stuff and crosses every limit to and spends every penny to rob the shops off their collection.

The movie is a series of events which come into her life making her a writer for the magazine ‘Successful Savings’ following an auction of her clothes to pay debt and finally meeting the love of life. But the thing is, its not all that straight as it sounds. After all its Sophie Kinsella meets Isla Fisher movie!

Its a must must watch for comedy lovers. Who wouldn’t like an hour of uninterrupted ShopaholicNess and not so fluent Finnish!

“Shopping is actually very similar to farming a field. You can't keep buying the same thing, you have to have a bit of variety. Otherwise you get bored and stop enjoying yourself.” 

Review:

“I love new clothes. If everyone could just wear new clothes everyday, I reckon depression wouldn’t exist anymore.” 

This movie is for those who are into fun without wearing the heavy critical eyes of a very professional cinematographic owl!

I mean, for once let us all laugh at what Isla Fisher has done to the previously awesome novel. What has she done? Pure Justice. She was in her element and did every scene effortlessly. She can bring the laugh out of even the grumpy one.

The movie really is a secret garden for shopaholics as to feast the eyes with fancy items and is much more entertaining than the poster suggest.

This movie to me is like a many times watch. The idea of ‘The Girl in the Green Scarf’ is very interesting as well as fresh.

Not only a comical view of a shopaholic, but an educational one too.

This movie is just perfect to release the steam of a busy stressful week and give yourself some nice laugh therapy.

“I mean, when I think about it, what's more important? Clothes - or the miracle of new life?” 

I will rate this branded comedy with

***½

Official Trailer : This Is Where I Leave You (2014)

Okay, we'll give credit to "This Is Where I Leave You" for the cast the film has assembled. Who could argue with Jane Fonda, Tina Fey, Jason Bateman, Rose Byrne, Adam Driver, Kathryn Hahn, Corey Stoll, Connie Britton, Ben Schwartz, Timothy Olyphant, Aaron Lazar, Debra Monk, Abigail Spencer and Dax Shepard being in the same movie together? It's just a shame its one as generic as this.

The first trailer for the Shawn Levy directed movie has arrived and it hits every cliché on the dramedy branch. Based on the novel by Jonathan Tropper, the story follows a huge family who came together to bond/mourn following a major death, and of course, learn stuff about life. 

So this means you'll get a scene of two people sitting on a roof having an important intimate conversation, boob jokes, sex being heard by lots of people on a baby monitor and other similar scenes you've seen in other movies over the years. Maybe it all adds up to something more?

Find out on September 12th.

Official "Green Band" Trailer : Sex Tape (2014)

Official "Green Band" Trailer : Sex Tape (2014)

Once upon a time, making a sex tape was a much less risky business – mainly because the “tape” part was literal rather than figurative. The worst thing that could happen would be an unscrupulous friend stealing the tape (à la Trainspotting) or a few more physical copies being made and handed out.

Then high speed internet came along and made the whole endeavor a lot more dangerous. In Sex Tape, the raunchy new comedy from Bad Teacher director Jake Kasdan, Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel play a nice, respectable suburban couple who wear sensible sweaters and go on outings to Bed, Bath & Beyond. Their family life has led to a stagnant sex life, and so Annie and Jay decide to spice things up by making a sex tape – using their iPad.

It’s not easy to convey this kind of story while maintaining a green band, so the new trailer for Sex Tape is largely comprised of footage that was included in the red band trailer, minus a lot of swearing and a scene of Annie snorting cocaine with her boss (Rob Lowe). The humor is a little spotty and some of it falls flat, but who knows, maybe they’re saving the really good stuff for when the movie comes out.

One downside to Sex Tape is that it could end up becoming very dated very quickly if iPads and Siri go out of style. After all, give it another five years and we’ll all be accessing the internet via chips in our brains and deleting compromising videos with a single thought. Probably.

Sex Tape is out in theaters on July 25, 2014.

Official "Red Band" Trailer : Sex Tape (2014)

Cameron Diaz is upping the ante in "Sex Tape," so says director Jake Kasdan, who helmed Diaz's turn as the worst middle school teacher on the planet in 2011's "Bad Teacher."

In "Teacher," Diaz's warped Elizabeth lies, cheats, and steals her way to the dough required for her dream boob job — you know, the thing that will solve all of her problems by making her more instantly attractive to rich, single men.

Sounds like a hit, right? "Bad Teacher" didn't impress critics when it came out in 2011 but the R-rated comedy won over audiences in a big way, bringing in a cool $216 million worldwide box office against a production budget of just $20 mil.

Jake Kasdan, who directed Diaz and Jason Segel in "Teacher," has teamed up with them again for "Sex Tape"

"Sex Tape" opens nationwide on July 25.

Movie Review: Chasing Liberty (2004)

Movie Review: Chasing Liberty (2004)

Story:

An American romantic comedy with a Presidential twist!

Chasing Liberty is the story of Anna Foster (Mandy Moore) daughter of President of the United States James Foster (Mark Harmon). After Secret Service agents ruin a first date, Anna demands less supervision. For his upcoming trip to Prague, the president agrees to assign only two agents to watch over Anna, whose Secret Service codename is Liberty. In Prague, Anna and her friend Gabrielle La Clare (Beatrice Rosen) attend a concert, where Anna discovers numerous agents in the crowd. Believing her father has broken his promise, Anna eludes her protectors with Gabrielle's help. Outside the theater, she asks Ben Calder (Matthew Goode) for a ride on his motorbike. Unknown to Anna, Ben is a Secret Service agent, and he informs agents Alan Weiss (Jeremy Piven) and Cynthia Morales (Annabella Sciorra) where she can be found. When the president learns of her behavior, he instructs Ben to guard Anna without revealing his true identity, to give her the illusion of freedom with a guarantee of safety.

Believing she is finally free, Anna jumps into the Vltava River naked, mistaking it for the Danube, and she and Ben climb a rooftop to watch an Offenbach opera being shown in a plaza. The next morning, Anna calls her parents. Initially relieved that his daughter is safe, the President's tone changes when he is shown photos of her undressing. Outraged at her father's tone, Anna decides she will go to the Love Parade in Berlin. She and Ben board a train, where they meet Scotty McGruff (Martin Hancock), a flighty romantic who gives them a stack of Six Million Dollar Man stickers, instructing them to post them in random places, and one day when they are unhappy, they may come across one and it will make them smile. Ben discovers that they have boarded a Venice-bound train going in the opposite direction from Berlin.

In Venice, after checking in with agents Weiss and Morales—who are now growing closer romantically—Ben joins Anna and McGruff and together they explore the city. After McGruff leaves, Anna realizes he has stolen her wallet. When Anna is recognized by tourists, she and Ben flee. With no money, they tell a kind-hearted gondolier, Eugenio (Joseph Long), that they recently married against her parents' wishes. During the free gondola ride, Ben kisses Anna to hide her from their pursuers. When he learns the "newlyweds" have no place to stay, Eugenio invites them to his house, where they are welcomed by his mother, Maria (Miriam Margolyes). That night, thinking their kiss was heartfelt, Anna offers herself to Ben, but he rejects her advances.

The next day, Eugenio drives them to the Austrian border, as Weiss and Morales show up at Maria's house and learn from Maria that Anna and Ben are married, which is then reported to Anna's parents. Upset at Ben's rejection, Anna hitchhikes a ride in a truck, leaving Ben to chase her through the Austrian countryside. Anna comes to a bridge, where she meets the Jumping Germans, a bungee jumping group. Ben arrives just as Anna is being strapped into the harness, and insists on jumping with her.

Later that evening at the Jumping Germans' camp, one of the Germans asks Anna to share his tent for the night. She refuses and flirts with Ben, who rejects her advances again. Upset, she declares that she will share the German's tent after all; Ben finally admits his feelings for Anna and they spend the night together. At the Love Parade, as Ben explains his actions on the phone to his fellow agents, Anna discovers his identity. Enraged at the apparent betrayal, Anna runs off, only to be harassed by a group of men who recognize her. Ben rescues her, and Anna and her family return to the United States.

While preparing for college, Anna reveals to her mother that her heart is "a little bit broken." At college, with Weiss and Morales (who plan to marry) still protecting her, Anna sees a Six Million Dollar Man sticker which reminds her of her European adventure. During Christmas break Anna's father tells her that Ben resigned from the Secret Service and is working as a photographer in London. During an exchange program to Oxford University Anna visits Ben at the opera, where they kiss, reconcile, and escape on his motorbike.

Review:

Kind of a refreshing flick to lighten up the mood & take full pleasure in watching romance with a twist  on the beautiful grounds of Europe.

Mandy Moore is as good as ever & makes great couple with Mathew Goode.

Story and the feel of movie is happy and light. Its not a flick that you will remember forever or would stick to but it surely is worth watch. As life is not only about heavy dose of everything and we are not here to play Critics!

The movie maintains its charm & vanilla flavor throughout with nice to ears music & great great scenery.

If you are up to pass time without getting thunderbolted with drama, try this one!

Actors do justice to their characters & movie did justice to my time.

So I will rate this cute one:

Official Trailer : Cuban Fury (2014)

Official Trailer : Cuban Fury (2014)

Are you ready for a good laugh? Well, here it is, courtesy of the upcoming flick Cuban Fury. This plot follows the typical “boy meets beautiful girl, boy needs to sweep her off her feet” plot, but with a twist.

Bruce, played by funnyman Nick Frost, aims to win the heart of his new boss Julia (Rashida Jones) through her passion for salsa dancing. Luckily for him, he used to be an amazing dancer in his youth, so he takes a few classes to brush up on his skills in order to impress Julia and make her fall in love with him.

Sounds like the perfect plan, right? Well, there is also Bruce’s alpha male, jokester coworker Drew (Chris O’Dowd), who wants to be with Julia as well. Will Bruce be able to overcome his past in order to surpass Drew and win Julia’s love? I guess you’ll have to watch to find out.

Bruce and Drew have almost a brotherly relationship in which Drew is constantly picking on Bruce. He is the dominant and crude guy around the office who takes any opportunity to knock Bruce down a few pegs. Cuban Fury has seemingly cast the perfect actors for these particular roles, with their natural chemistry evident in just the trailer. Nick Frost, whom you know from Shaun of the Dead, and Chris O’Dowd, who got his breakout U.S. role in Bridesmaids, are absolutely hilarious, without being overly immature, and give this film a promising outlook.

So, should you see it? Yes, if you like comedies, and definitely, if you like the work of Nick Frost, Chris O’Dowd and Rashida Jones. Their chemistry will be what makes or breaks this film, and from the looks of it, that shouldn’t be a problem.

Final verdict: if you are looking for some comedic relief with a great cast this spring, then be sure to check out Cuban Fury.

Official Song : Shanivaar Raati (Main Tera Hero)

Varun Dhawan, Ileana D’Cruz and Nargis Fakhri dance to the tunes of a peppy track in Shanivaar Raati. Anupam Kher dons a weird all a white avatar from hair to clothes with Rajpal Yadav also joining in the celebrations in his own rural dance style.

The over confident character of Varun Dhawan dances along with the ladies, Ileana D’Cruz and Nargis Fakhri as they dance along not in a way to show the other down and win the heart of Varun Dhawan but everybody gets along well.

A few times of listening to the song and it grows on you for a typical Punjabi wedding celebration song in the classic David Dhawan directed Govinda style.

After Main Tera Hero’s Besharmi Ki Height rocked the dance floor, another absolutely shameless but in a good way song is about to hit the charts. Varun Dhawan is yet again wearing a shirt without any buttons fastened but a vest hides his toned abs but we don’t hear any of the ladies complaining as he dances his ass off in true classic David Dhawan style directed song, Tera Hero Idhar Hai with an over confident ‘Palat’ which scares Ileana D’Cruz more than impress her.

He dances in the middle of a basketball court, on a wall and even while hanging from an artificial climbing rockface while Nargis Fahri is clearly smitten by Varun Dhawan’s antics.

Movie Review: Hasee Toh Phasee

Movie Review: Hasee Toh Phasee

Synopsis:

This movie is about a boy Nikhil (Siddharth Malhotra) and Meeta(Parineeti Chopra ) who live in two completely different cities, in two completely different environments. Meeta is a slightly eccentric girl whose actions are totally unpredictable, she plays pranks, steals from her own father,runs away from her house, speaks Chinese, eats toothpaste and speaks in the terms of Physics and Chemistry. She is crazy but still completely adorable. Whereas Nikhil is a boy having second thoughts about his career. He is engaged to Meeta’s sister Karishma (Adah Sharma) who treats him like a personal assistant and breaks up with him on little things. But he doesn’t do breakups. Just like a common man he is afraid of change; Changing his career or relationship. 

Summary:

This movie takes place over a decade where the childhood of both the main characters is shown followed by the time when Nikhil comes to Mumbai to attend a wedding and bumps into tomboy Meeta, who is running away from her house. He is intrigued by her personality but forgets everything when he lays his eyes on the gorgeous Karishma. Seven years later he is getting engaged to Karishma. He also has some money problems and gets warned by her fiancee to arrange for it or otherwise there won’t be anywedding. Enters Meeta with long hair and a weird expression on her face; she is Karishma’s sister who everyone hates because she ran away and never came back. Karishma asks Nikhil to hide Meeta in a guest house or something but he brings her home after knowing the truth of her family background. Then there are a lot of humorous and senti scenes. Meeta actually steals all thetoothpaste in the house, charges a car battery using a laptop charger. There are also some CID jokes to add to the plate. 
After realizing how much supportive Nikhil is of her, she falls for him and bluntly asks him to marry her in a public bus. Meeta is a mixture of crazy and cute. Her unpredictable nature,blunt honesty and Sheldon Cooper gibberish makes Nikhil fall for her too. But there is a slight problem. The Chinese are after her, she wants to steal and run away again; also Nikhil is getting married to her sister in a day. Ooops! 

Review:

This romantic comedy mirrors the quirks in human nature subtly and provides humour in everyday situations; in the family and amongst friends. Parineeti's relationship with her father(Manoj Joshi) strikes the right emotional chord.
The songs are pretty good and add zing to an otherwise simple narrative. Parineeti who has come to represent the power-house performer passes with flying colours. And, Sidharth, whose good-looks distract, shows a definitive growth in his second outing as an actor after Student of the Year.

If you're looking to rediscover the magic of goofy love around Valentines, give Hasee Toh Phasee a shot.

My rating for this delightful rom-com is:

****

New Trailer: Main Tera Hero (2014)

New Trailer: Main Tera Hero (2014)

So the trailer of much awaited Main Tera Hero is out and we must say, we are impressed. The promo is colourful, has some crazy dialogues, is packed with dhamaakedaar action and has Varun Dhawan who instantly reminded us of Govinda.

Too much taareef? Well, it’s true that the Nargis Fakhri, Illeana D’Cruz and Varun starrer Main Tera Hero looks promising – at least the promo – but it took us back to the ’90s…the David Dhawan times. Remember those bizarrely colourful sets, sharp and witty one-liners accompanied with typical bike and jeep action? Yes, that’s the picture that came to our minds when we saw this trailer, where Varun is trying his best to over act.

What remains to be seen now is, whether the Student of The Year star has it in him to pull off a movie solely on his shoulders. Will he be able to carry of the Govinda image with finesse? Or will it just become another over-hyped, much too crassly for the classy’s taste venture?

Box Office: Ride Along (Trailer Included)

New Release: Ride Along

Universal’s opening of “Ride Along” is heading for a decisive victory at this weekend’s U.S. box office, expected to take in between $35 and $38 million over the four days of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend.

The comedy, starring Ice Cube and Kevin Hart, was heading for a Friday gross between $11 million and $14 million based on forecasts from early shows, including the $1.05 million from late-night screenings on Thursday.

Thursday night’s late-night screenings for Universal Pictures’ action comedy Ride Along, which marks the first comedic lead for stand-up performer Kevin Hart, grossed $1M. That beats the opening night of Universal’s The Best Man Holiday, which opened to $689,000 on previews (1,402 runs) on November 14 on its way to a $30.1M three-day gross; Best Man Holiday cumed out at $70.5M.

Universal is also making comparisons to Pain & Gain, which starred Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson and opened on April 25, 2013 for a preview gross of $750,000 and a $20M three-day weekend (odd comparison). Hart, who stars with Ice Cube, previously more than held his own in Grudge Match and in This Is The End, but it will be Ride Along that he’ll be able to call his own (beyond his concert films).

The pic opens with 2,262 runs. This is another holiday weekend with Martin Luther King Day on Monday, so we will have three-day and four-day box office.

Trailer Preview: The Right Kind Of Wrong

Trailer Preview: The Right Kind Of Wrong

Magnolai’s “The Right Kind of Wrong”, starring Ryan Kwanten (“True Blood”) .

Leo Palamino has dedicated his life to what some may call impossible dreams. At least his ex-wife Julie would call them that. But Leo is an expert at not listening to her criticism or anyone else’s for that matter because Leo is a stubborn romantic… An idealist. A dreamer. It is precisely this refusal to listen to criticism that drove his ex-wife Julie to blog about Leo’s flaws as their relationship broke down. A blog called “Why You Suck” that would become a cultural phenomenon.

And so when we meet Leo Palamino, he is a romantic dreamer, a dedicated writer, a dishwasher in a tourist trap, and a celebrity… Then one afternoon, as the very dejected Leo watches Julie being interviewed on a talk show about her upcoming book, he lays eyes on the woman of his (impossible) dreams… Colette is on her way into a wedding across the street from Leo’s house. Her wedding.

“The Right Kind of Wrong” is on iTunes/OnDemand February 6, 2014 and in theaters March 14, 2014.

Official Youtube Trailer: Blended (2014)

Official Youtube Trailer: Blended (2014)

First was The Wedding Singer, then 50 First Dates, now Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore team up once again for another Hollywood romantic comedy. This one is called Blended and it’s scheduled for release May 23. Directed by frequent Sandler collaborator Frank Coraci, Blended tells the story of two people who go on a terrible blind date, then find themselves on vacation together on African safari.

Blended looks like a movie made as an excuse to go on vacation. The hyper-stretch plot of two people who randomly find out a vacation is up for grabs, then both go, is bad enough. From there, the jokes all look unimaginative, predictable and awkwardly slap-stick. Nothing about the movie feels imaginative or interesting, except the setting, and that’s probably the point. Unfortunately for Drew Barrymore, Blended feels much more like the new Adam Sandler (Grown Ups, Jack and Jill) than the one who made solid films with her in the past.

Let us know what you think about the trailer below. Here’s the official plot description:

“Blended” marks the third comedy collaboration between stars Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, following their successful onscreen pairings in the hit romantic comedies “50 First Dates” and “The Wedding Singer.”

After a disastrous blind date, single parents Lauren (Barrymore) and Jim (Sandler) agree on only one thing: they never want to see each other again. But when they each sign up separately for a fabulous family vacation with their kids, they are all stuck sharing a suite at a luxurious African safari resort for a week.

Slated for release on May 23, 2014, “Blended” is a Warner Bros. Pictures presentation of a Gulfstream Pictures/Happy Madison Production and will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment company.
