Yes Man
Directed by: Peyton Reed
Genres: Comedy, Romance
Tagline: One word can change everything.
Plot Outline: A guy challenges himself to say “yes” to everything for an entire year.
My Rating: 6.0
Cast: Jim Carrey, Zooey Deschanel, Bradley Cooper, John Michael Higgins, Rhys Darby, Danny Masterson, Fionnula Flanagan, Terence Stamp, Sasha Alexander, Molly Sims, Brent Briscoe, Rocky Carroll, John Cothran Jr., Spencer Garrett, Sean O’Bryan
After so long without any movie I’ve expected a better one from Jim Carrey and maybe that’s why I am kind of disappointed by it. It’s a nice movie with it’s funny parts as expected but not the kind that you will want to watch over and over again nor you will have a stomachache from laughing too hard.
All in all it’s nice movie to watch once maybe twice.
What do you think?

Genres: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-Fi
Tagline: He is back…
Plot Outline: After a long visit to the lost remains of the planet Krypton, the Man of Steel returns to earth to become the peoples savior once again and reclaim the love of Lois Lane.
My Rating: 9.0 [rate 4.5]
Cast: Brandon Routh, Kate Bosworth, Kevin Spacey, James Marsden, Parker Posey, Frank Langella, Sam Huntington, Eva Marie Saint, Marlon Brando, Kal Penn, David Fabrizio, Tristan Lake Leabu, Ian Roberts, Vincent Stone, Jack Larson
You say that the world doesn’t need a savior, but every day I hear the world cry for one.
As the world was getting used to the idea that of living without Superman, he is back. And just in time to save them once again.
I ought to admit that after seeing the trailer I was a bit skeptical because I thought that they made the “mistake” to show the the best scene on the trailer, like they did so many countless times before, maybe not for Superman but it’s something they do on many films.
After watching the film, I realised that the scene shown in the trailer was only a tease. A small introduction to what you will see in the new Superman movie.
If you are like me then most probably you have seen all the other Superman movies than filmed over the past. In comparison this film has a plethora of special effects.
So if you want to see Superman do some moves that he wasn’t able to do before due to technology limitations then this is the film for you. Even if you don’t it’s still a film worth watching.

Genres: Sci-Fi, Thriller
Tagline: Every moment of your life recorded. Would you live it differently?
Plot Outline: Set in a world with memory implants, Robin Williams plays a cutter, someone with the power of final edit over people’s recorded histories. His latest assignment is one that puts him in danger.
My Rating: 8.0 [rate 4]
Cast: Robin Williams, Mira Sorvino, James Caviezel, Mimi Kuzyk, Stephanie Romanov, Thom Bishops, Genevieve Buechner, Brendan Fletcher, Vincent Gale, Casey Dubois, Liam Ranger, Joely Collins, Michael St. John Smith, Christopher Britton, Wanda Cannon
Imagine living a life knowing that someone can watch it later. Some will be the judge and the jury in deciding what was important in your life and what not. In a few words someone will decide how will people remember you, and will create a movie out of it.
I think that when someone dies different people in that persons life remember him in a different way. Showing a movie out of it somehow spoils this memory.
Overall I think it’s a very nice movie and it’s worth watching.
