Darrow's Observation
History repeats itself. That's one of the things wrong with history.
Two movies.
In Two days
I know its not like me to watch a movie.
But two movies in two days.
In the busiest day of the week.
In the busiest week of the month.
In the busiest month of the year.
Thats totally not like me.
But I needed to go out. Break out. And get away from the
Freezing LRC's.
And thats why I watched....
and...
It was a well deserved break. Thanks to a couple of friends who had cars to go around.
First off.
The Incredibles.
(
I am not a good reviewer. I just type as I think. An absolute top-notch movie.
As everybody says, combine
X-Men,
Toy Story and
Spy Kids (III atleast), you get this.
With amazing animation and graphics, fast chases, good action, and some really funny scenes,
Pixar has pulled it again. And it gives you a rush like no other (though I like to compare it to finishing first by inches in
NFS Underground 2). One of the best sequences, according to me is the hair-raising chase of Dash, a character in that movie. That 5 minute sequence just takes your breath off.
Next off.
Finding Neverland. Starring Johnny Depp.
True, after
Pirates of the Caribbean, where he starts by effortlessly steppping off a sinking ship onto the quay, this Johnny Depp is a totally different one - An aristrocratic English gentleman and a play-writer. Quite a remarkable transformation. And a remarkable actor.
Inspite of a decent peppering of humorous sequences, the seriousness of the plot is never lost. Truly, as said in
a review
"Finding Neverland" is the story of a man who doesn't want to grow up, and writes the story of a boy who never does.
.
It cant be put in any other better words.
Has a pretty solid storyline, doesnt involve too much of
hot romantic scenes, but gentle touches here and there which actually enhance the effect, amazing creativity and superb acting by all characters, including that of Peter Pan.
And a perfect ending.
Can't be better.
Has gotten pretty good reviews. And if you are sitting out there, wondering whether to watch it or not, do it now.
