The Master of Disguise (2002)
Very funny
I am shocked to see such a low user rating for this movie. Looking at the user rating of 2.9, one may think that its one of the worst movie ever made but that would not be right. I saw this movie a few years back on TV and thought it was really funny. Yes, this movie doesn't make any sense but that's why its a silly movie but it sure makes you laugh and that's the reason why we watch a comedy. By the way, not many great comedy movies make sense or adhere to logic all the time because they need not do that, they are just suppose to be funny. So don't be fooled by the poor user rating and watch the movie and then decide whether it is really that bad.
Saw III (2006)
more violence, more gore, more twists and turns
In this 3rd edition of Saw movies, most of the 'work' is done by Jigsaw's apprentice Amanda, as Jigsaw spends whole of the movie on the bed, counting last hours of his life. I would like to say that anyone who has not watched the earlier editions of this series, should watch them first before watching this one, otherwise you won't have a clue as to what is going on.
Amanda kidnaps a lady doctor and her challenge is to keep Jigsaw alive till a guy who is located in some other place, passes his 'tests'. That guy is Jeff who had lost his young son a few years ago and since then he has been looking for revenge. In his tests, he will come up against people who were, in one way or another, responsible for the death of his son and he will be the one to decide their fate, whether to let them die or to forgive and save them. Watch out for some unexpected twists at the climax.
There is lots of blood, gore and innovative traps. There is some amount of nudity as well. This may be because the filmmakers were not so sure about whether they will be able to draw audience to the theaters one more time. Some of the questions that had remained unanswered in the 1st and 2nd edition, (which most people, including myself, thought were the flaws in the script) have been answered in this edition in the form of flashbacks.
In the end, if you liked the two earlier editions, then you'll like this one too.
The Girl Next Door (2004)
sweet teen love story
This is certainly one of the best teen love stories I have seen. All the actors played parts beautifully, especially the protagonists, Hirsch, Cuthbert and Olyphant and the movie keeps you glued to your sit till the end.
This is the story of matthew(Hirsch) who doesn't know how to have fun in his life. Matthew is the college president and is about to graduate and then 'she' enters his life and changes everything. Danielle(Cuthbert) moves in into the neighbourhood of Matthew and Matthew falls for her the moment he sees her. Then he finds out that Danielle is in fact a pornstar but he is so much in love with her that he does everything that he can to get her. Will he succeed? And if he does, at what cost?
One of the weird things about this movie is that Cuthbert plays a pornstar and we don't even get to see her full frontal but her sheer beauty makes up for it to an extent. Another thing this movie failed to do was that it never digs into the past life of Danielle as to how and why did she became a pornstar.
All in all, I think there are more pluses to this movie than minuses. If you like teen love stories then you'll surely like this one too.
Clifford (1994)
Nice movie
I just watched this movie on TV and came here to see what other people think about it. I was very much shocked to see that the lead actor Martin Short was 40+ when this movie was made. He is playing a 10 year old brat in this movie and I got to say he has done very well at that. Though he doesn't quite look like a 10 year old but he surely comes close to it. This is a movie about a 10 year old boy, Clifford, who is very mischievous and raises hell everywhere he goes. Sick of his mischiefs, his parents leave him with his Uncle who is a middle-aged man and is trying to convince her fiancée that he likes kids and that's the reason why he agrees to keep Clifford with him. As the movie goes on, Clifford completely destroys his Uncle's life with his pranks because he didn't take him to the local Dinosaur Park. Although the ending wasn't the best but most of the movie is really good. This may not be the best movie you'll ever see but its a nice one to watch with your family. I think kids will really like it. It is really hilarious. I was very surprised to see the IMDb user rating for this movie being a moderate 4.2 and that's why I thought I should stand up for this movie. I think its far better than what the rating suggests.
