Prometheus (2012)
Can't believe I shelled out $9 for this...
I definitively do not recommend paying full theater price for this movie because it is awful especially for a scifi film. All it is, is crappy special effects for a summer film as are most films during summer... There are a bunch of plot holes, the characters are soooooo stupid, the technology is unrealistic in some situations and too modern in others. There is no real story and most of the actions performed by the characters makes no sense. The film is a waste of 2 hrs of ones life spend the money and time on something better. I went to watch it because the previews made it seem like a new scifi epic film but sadly it is not, just another shitty summer blockbuster with some Alien stuff in it (the series).
Today's Special (2009)
Wow great movie... left me smiling =)
Saw this movie floating around on netflix. I was really bored one night and decided to check out the movie. I was glad I did, its one of those movies that just leaves you in a better mood than when you started: a feel good movie! The acting is good with really likable characters especially the cab driver/cook whose character I just love. I never really was a fan of The Daily Show correspondent Aasif Mandvi. Didn't like the humor or anything too much but he is great in this movie and can actually act. Now fair warning, I liked this movie a lot in part due to my ability to relate/understand the culture behind the story (I am an Indian college student in the USA) and also love the old school Hindi songs in it (hooked me into the movie). The movie is also typical in some of its approach and formula, it isn't anything new or groundbreaking. But nonetheless it is very enjoyable and isn't just restricted to brown people lol. This movie is easy to relate to if you are a first generation foreigner (of any country IMO). It just enhances the movie experience. I'll definitely will be showing this movie to my friends. The movie fits a nice category of movies that isn't very abundant: a great light drama, semi romantic, light comedy. Another movie I would include in that category would be Morning Glory with Rachel McAdams.
Bottomline: give this movie a chance and watch it, you won't be disappointed!
Extra awesomeness--- Dennis Duffy (30 Rock) is in it (for a bit)! Love me some 30 Rock
