Movie Review : ''Sunshine'' [2007] ♣♣♣½
‘If the sun dies, so do we’ is the tagline for this movie. 50 years in the future (2057) the sun is dying and so naturally rather than let it die, a crew of astronauts led by Capa (a chilly Cillian Murphy) are enlisted to save the planet. How? By hurling a nuclear bomb into the sun of course - almost like an out-of-this-world defribillator.
7 years previously, the ill-fated Icarus I...

Christine Brown (Lohman) wants the coveted Assistant Manager at her bank branch and is up against her more stern less experienced colleague Stu Rubin (Lee). Her boss Mr Jacks (Paymer) thinks she isn’t ruthless enough for her job and in a bid to prove him wrong she refuses Mrs Ganush’s loan request. Big Mistake!!

2010 : Movies I'm Anticipating...
Will they be good or bad? I don’t know. Am I interested in watching them - most definitely! Partly out of curiosity for some and genuine anticipation for others! I can’t list them in order of anticipation because I want to see them all - so I figured date order was more fitting. All trailers available on Youtube.

Movie Review : ''Sliding Doors'' [1998] ♣♣♣
This is a tale about fate. We all have wondered and asked ourselves questions like ”What if I hadn’t overslept?” ”What if Elvis’ twin had survived?” (ok, the last one was a random but true one!). In the aftermath of 9/11, many attributed survival to simply hitting snooze on the alarm, or missing the train, getting a call just before they stepped out etc.

And they wait. And wait. And wait. But nothing happens. So in a bid to stop the stalemate - an operation to find out what is going on is organised. What they find are malnourished, scared aliens who are...
