Funny People (2009)

2009-12-05T20:10:00.000-08:00

I expected it to be funny considering the fact that all three main characters do humor. But it wasnt the case. Its totally uneven and most of the time its drama. May be it wasnt supposed to be funny. So before watching it just dont go with the mindset for humor coz it has very little of it. Anyhow overall its fine movie coz its just that you didnt expect it to be this type.

Plot Summary:

George is a very successful stand up comedian who learns that he has an untreatable blood disorder and is given less than a year to live. Ira is a struggling up-and-coming stand up comedian who works at a deli and has yet to figure out his onstage persona. One night, these two perform at the same club and George takes notice of Ira. George hires Ira to be his semi-personal assistant as well as his friend. Written by Anonymous

Once upon a time in the kingdom of Andalasia, a beautiful young maiden named Giselle lives in a cottage in the forest.

Giselle's spontaneous singing and fairy-tale demeanor enchant everyone around her as she waits for Prince Edward.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009)

2009-12-04T02:25:00.000-08:00

This animated movie makes some promises in its start but cant keep it in the end.I found the movie to be watchable, dont expect too much from it though. If you have read the book then you will find it surprizingly good.

Plot Summary:
The island of Swallow Falls was once the home of the sardine industry -- made famous by their native pitchman, or infant, "Baby" Brent (voiced as a has-been adult by Andy Samberg) -- until the world realized it didn't like sardines. Isolated from the rest of the world, the now economically depressed community struggles to survive, and must use sardines in everything they eat. Flint -- whose sole companion and "colleague" is the "talking" monkey Steve (voiced by Neil Patrick Harris) -- wants to change all that with his latest invention: a machine that can turn water into any kind of food imaginable. (The array of food that rains down will undoubtedly leave viewers craving a cheeseburger in the worst way.)
