Win A Date With Tad Hamilton - A Winner?

If you have been following this blog, by this time you could have understood that I love Romantic-Comedy movies. Even an okay movie would seem very good for me if the genre is romantic-comedy. In that line, *Win a Date with Tad Hamilton* is the movie I had enjoyed recently.

Rosalee (Kate Bosworth) is from a small town working in a super market. The branch manager, Pete is a good friend of Rosalee for about 22 years. He has been in love with her all the time. Though he deserves to work in a bigger branch, he does not leave only for her.

Rosalee is a great fan of a famous hero Tad Hamilton. She wins a lucky draw contest called *Win a Date With Tad Hamilton*. During the date, Tad falls heavily for Rosalee's beauty. After the date, Rosalee comes back to her town. Surprisingly, Tad also comes to the town to spend time with her.

Pete does his best to make her realize the nature of heroes in Hollywood. But Tad, with his natural charm, easily controls Rosalee. When Tad has to return to LA, he asks Rosalee also to go with him. Rosalee, with some hesitation accepts his invite. But one thing is sure... if she goes to LA, she is gone forever and Pete could never get her back.

What will happen to these three people is the climax. I have to admit that, it is not the greatest movie you are going to watch, but it would surely be a good, decent romantic comedy movie.

Red Eye - Red In Thrill

Racheal McAdams is one of my recent favourite heroines. This is the third movie of her, I really enjoyed watching, the first being *The Notebook* and another being *Mean Girls*. *The Notebook* being a top-class romantic drama and *Mean Girls* being a good teen movie, and this, *Red Eye* being a good thriller.

Lisa (Rachel McAdams) the manager of a star hotel 'Lux Atlantic' in

Miami when returning from Texas, meets a complete stranger Jack (Cillian Murphy) in the airport accidentally. They both get attracted to each other on their first sight. By chance, they are happened to travel in the same flight. They both flirt for some time and part.

Ironically, it so happens that Jack sits adjacent to Lisa. With good friendly talks and pranks the flight takes off. Since Lisa had already told him that she is afraid of flying, Jack asks questions about Lisa's family when the flight takes off. After they have reached the altitude and the turbulence stops, Lisa thanks Jack to have distracted her from the turbulence.

With the same lovely cute face, Jack tells that he was not distracting her, but keeping the focus on her and her father. Slightly confused and a little scared, she inquires why he would keep the focus on her father. His answer starts the actual movie and Lisa comes to knows that everything that happened till that time with that guy is not by chance... but there was something big happening.

What is that he expects out of her and how could she even escape from this mess is the rest of the movie. Most of the movie happens in the airplane. The movie has some big logical mistakes as all their conversations happen in the flight and no one even knows about it. People don't even turn back when he hits her. If you are ready for the thrill, you can forget about these plot holes and enjoy the ride.

I liked the movie as it had started with a romantic-comedy kind of things and moving in to a suspence thriller and ending with gripping chases and hide-and-seek-for-life things. It is a good thriller with not-so-much gore. If you like suspence-thriller movies, this is one movie you can definitely hang out with.

Just Like Heaven

Just Like Heaven is the second Reese Witherspoon movie I watched, first being Legally Blonde. It is always a pleasure to watch a romantic comedy movie with a pretty heroine, beautiful cinematography and brilliant music. Just Like Heaven happens to have all these three. A pleasant movie with a pleasant climax, so, this movie is in my favourite list.

Elizabeth is a workoholic doctor who spends most of her time in hospital. When is going for a blind date, she meets with an accident. David (Mark Ruffalo), a widow man comes to Elizabeth's appartment for rent. After some time, he encounters Elizabeth in their appartment, Elizabeth being a ghost, and not even knowing her name for sure. Though David being a civilian, he only could see and hear Elizabeth's spirit.

Don't judge the movie with the basic theme. It may sound childish or rubbish or foolish to hear a story like this: a woman's spirit with a man and he alone could see the spirit and all. I have to agree that the basic theme is childish, but what is more important is the situations and emotions and sentiments that could only be brought by these kind of what-if movies.

David agrees with Elizabeth's spirit to help it uncover what really happened to her. The more time they spend together, they fall in love with each other; yes, Dave falls in love with a ghost or spirit of a woman. Both David and the spirit is pushed to ut most shock when they find what happened to her. David, believes that, he can bring her back alive and tries to do his best. What really happened to Lizze and why Dave alone could see her and what happened to Dave's love with Elizabeth is the rest of the story.

Though the story may not be impressive, the screenplay and the chemistry between Reese With

erspoon and Mark Ruffalo and wonderful music makes this movie a worth watching one. Though this movie may not be able to make you laugh aloud, it will keep you happy and pleasant. I would say, it is a must watch movie for romantic comedy movies fanatic like me. Click here to watch the trailer and here to see my favourite dialogue.

One Fine Day - You will watch this movie!

One fine day is a movie which is driven completely by the chemistry between George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer. This is a movie with a single line story but with a strong storyline as to keep everyone with a pleasant mood till the end. Also, this is a very different movie as the whole movie takes place in One Fine Day, within a spam of 24 hours. Other movies which I know of which take place in a short spam are Cellular, PhoneBooth and 16th Block, all being action and thrilling movies.

Jack Taylor is a reporter who isn't used to do everything on his own and Melanie Parker is an architect who does everything on her own, happen to meet one fine day. Because of the habit of Jack, both Jack's daughter Maggie and Melanie's son Sammy miss their field trip. The first impression being so bad and with her previous experiences, Melanie snubs and insults Jack. AS though this is not enough, Sammy and Maggie has certain amount of dislike for each other.

Having set such a relationship, situations make them to meet very often and forces them to help each other. Jack, falls for Melanie on the first sight though irrespective of her attitude towards him, but Melanie keeps the attitude and holds a sting in my tongue whenever she talks to him. Out of a desparate situation, she asks for help to Jack, which he does perfectly.

Melanie also starts to like him later seeing him caring his daughter so much and being funny and charming. Thank God again to those situations which perfectly give both of them chances to express themselves and the movie ends with a cute romantic and egoistic fight between the beautiful couples.

This is definitely a feel good, pleasant movie which will easily suite those who love romantic comedy genre, at least it suited me very much and I have already seen this more than five times. Click here to watch the trailer and here to see one of favourite dialogues.

Anger Management - Laughter Management

I like comedy movies no matter how it makes me laugh and how much it makes me laugh. Due to my friend's recommendation I saw this movie, Anger Management. I can't say that you have to watch it at any cost, but what I can say is, this is an okay movie you can hang out for at least one time. My second Adam Sandler movie, so I can't compare where does this stand amongst his movies.

David (Adam Sandler) thinks low of himself and he angers himself for the society treating him like a bloody crap. He feels too lowly even to demand the rightful promotion from him boss. He does all the work the boss has to do for years without even asking for his well deserved promotion. He just happens to get messed up in a flight and thus he is put in a twenty hours of Anger Management course by Buddy Rydell (Jack Nicholson), and then his life is completely changed.

Buddy has a definite vengence on Dave and he treats him badly and makes him to have more and more Anger Management classes. He then becomes him 24\7 anger guardian and tortures in every possible way. Buddy then comes to know David's beautiful girl friend Linda (Marisa Tomei) and he then flirts with her. Buddy even makes sure that Dave breaks up with his girl friend.

But David is in such a situation that, if he disobeys Buddy, he will have to spend an year in jail. He obeys every one of his orders. Finally ending up in fighting with his school days enemies, embarrassed by a hooker, threatening his boss for promotion and at last losing his girl friend to that same bloody Buddy.

What Dave does in those situations and whether he gets his girlfriend back or not, is the climax. I have to admit that climax sucked my big time. Why didn't they come up with a better (at least an okay) climax? But this movie gave me some good laughs, especially when Jack Nicholson tries(?) to unfluster Adam Sandlre in the bridge, was too good for me.

Pride and Prejudice: Beautiful and Brilliant

Pride and Prejudice (2005) is one of the most wonderful novels I have ever read. My first classical novel also. Since this is the movie which is after that novel, I watched the movie with huge prejudice that it would be too good. And the movie didn't fail my expectations, in most of the ways. If you have read the novel, you could enjoy more when watching the movie. But I am not sure, how much anyone would like if they had not read the novel.

Well the name tells the story. It is the relationship between a proud man and prejudiced woman. Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) is a beautiful woman who gets prejudiced that Mr. Darcy is a very proud man. Though Mr. Darcy is not a proud man, initial circumstances lead Elizabeth to a strong prejudice that Mr. Darcy is arrogent, selfish, proud man.

But, Mr. Darcy, fighting against his better judgment, falls in love with Elizabeth, who considers that, Mr. Darcy is the last person in the entire world she would ever marry. Even though having such a strong prejudice, Elizabeth is made to believe that Mr. Darcy is not a proud, selfish or arrogant man by direct and indirect means. How Elizabeth could come out of such a strong prejudice and how they get along well is the rest of the story\movie.

I couldn't say much on this movie as the novel is quite complex with so many characters. Of course, the movie could not cover all the beautiful scenes of the novel, but IMO it is a very good adaptation of the novel. Keira Knightley is so beautiful, cute, pretty, etc. that she is the prefect fit for the character. She was also nominated for Oscar for this movie.

Most beautiful scenes of the novel are, Mr. Darcy's dance with Elizabeth, Mr. Darcy's first proposal (too good), Elizabeth happened to meet Mr. Darcy at his own house even after rejecting him, Elizabeth and Darcy's small stroll after they both understand each other, Darcy's explanation of the two offenses Elizabeth puts forward, Darcy's explanation of how he started to like Elizabeth.

I would strongly recommend anyone to read the original novel and also to watch the movie. A pure classical romantic novell and a pure classical romantic movie.
