A movie released in 2002 that still remains afresh in my memory

Maid in Manhattan – The cast do complete justice to their roles. Played by Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes this is a rather different love story. Marisa Ventura played by Jennifer Lopez plays a classy maid who works relentlessly for the welfare of her son .The story develops into a love story when Marisa is busy cleaning the room of a socialite with another maid .This socialite played by Natasha Richardson has a really nice outfit which she leaves in the room before leaving out .The other maid tells Marisa tells to try the coat. After she tries the coat the actor gets into the room thinking it is the socialite and is very impressed with her. Coincidently, Chris comes with Ty, Marisa’s son and finds Marisa very beautiful. They all go out for a walk .Soon, Marisa starts avoiding Chris as she becomes scared that the management will find out but fortunately or unfortunately this soon develops into a love story but obviously without Chris knowing that she is the maid. This goes on for some time till the management finds out when Chris invites Caroline for the party and is surprised to find somebody else coming .i.e. the real Caroline. Chris asks his assistant Jerry Siegel to find “the other Caroline Lane” promising that he will attend an important dinner and wishes her go with him. Jerry asks Lionel to find her. Lionel, who has figured out that Marisa is the woman Chris has been looking for, tells her to go to the dinner and end the affair swiftly if she wants to keep her possible future in hotel . He and the hotel staff assist her in preparing for the evening by styling her hair, loaning her an expensive dress, and a spectacular necklace. However, she spends the night in his room and it becomes a very big issue later .I really liked Christopher’s character; Ralph Fiennes, a politician plays the character with such sophistication and poise. Even though he is upset with her the two in the end up together as yes you could notice that there was chemistry between the two. It’s rather interesting to find a big shot who doesn’t mind settling down with a woman he loves. These are definitely cute aspects to the love story.Jalo looks lovely in the gown she wears the night she goes to the party with the actor .Even though she is the maid in the movie she looks really nice .This movie released in 2002 but I remember it afresh because it’s a really cute movie . Yes , not a popular movie and you may wondering why i am talking about it ..but yes there is definetely somethin different about the movie ...a big politician doesnt mind settling with maid ...reaches a point where he doesnt care about the press anymore .

The Bourne Legacy - Review

The Bourne Legacy -Movie Review



So it was a weekend and yes that definitely calls for a movie and this time I ended up catching the fourth installment of the BOURNE series. Yes I was pretty excited about the movie though it did not have the famous “JASON BOURNE” character of the previous three blockbusters. The movie instead has a new protagonist “Aaron Cross” played by JEREMY RENNER two time academy award nominee. Unlike the first three films, this one is not based on the ROBERT LUDLUM BOURNE series which in itself is a major let down and yes MATT DAMON who played the character of Jason Bourne in the previous three was sorely missed. Starting from where the previous movie left off, THE BOURNE LEGACY starts with snail pace and an immense amount of information being thrown at the audience making it hard to comprehend the actual storyline of the movie. Though the movie includes all the elements that the dark world of espionage and spy flicks requires, it pretty much lacks the thrill and adventure of the first three parts. The only part of the movie where you might find yourself glued to the screen and at edge would be the “lab shooting” sequence which gives a slightly sinister feel of a mad-man on the loose. This is the oly part which adds some much needed intrigue to the movie. Apart from that, the movie just falls short. The movie opens with the audience being introduced to “Aaron Cross” who’s a part of the CIA’s newest operation and is sent to Alaska for a training mission. Looking at the first few scenes of the movie with RENNER running around in extreme cold and hypothermic conditions, climbing mountains and wrestling wolves without getting even so much as a scratch on his body would definitely make you wonder where he gets such immense strength from. This is when you are exposed to the some disturbing information that the CIA has been feeding blue and green pills to all their agents which enhances them physically and mentally. That being said, due to a horrible blizzard which prevents Cross from returning to civilization, he runs out of pills which would affect his enhanced mental and physical abilities. And before you have the time to digest all this information, the movie takes another turn when the “OPERATION OUTCOME” is to be shut down as a result of Jason Bourne’s cover being blown to the press. The CIA gets rid of the other OUTCOME operatives by feeding them Yellow pills in place of the former blue and green ones. Cross being one OUTCOME asset not easy to kill realizes what’s happening and resorts to Dr Martha Shearing, an Outcome Scientist and the only survivor of the CIA provoked lab shooting. RACHEL WEISZ playing Shearing serves as Cross’s reluctant ally helping him to the blue pills into his system through a process called as “Viralling off” which takes them to the exciting MANILA in Philippines. The movie finally ends with a hot motorcycle pursuit of Cross and Shearing by LARX who is a barbarous killer employed by CIA to finish off the Operation Outcome. The chase which seems absolutely endless finally results in Shearing kicking Larx off his motorcycle and killing him in the process. The movie is probably worth a onetime watch if you would consider yourself as a BOURNE movie fan. After movies like “Hurt Locker,” “Mission Impossible 4 – Ghost Protocol” and “Marvel’s The Avengers,” Bourne Legacy is definitely a step down for RENNER despite his valiant effort at all the treacherous stunts and tremendous acting in the movie, for basically no fault of his own. Jason Bourne will continue to be a legend!

Allu Arjun Movie goes from Bunny to Julayi - Review

Allu Arjun Movie goes from Bunny to Julayi!!! - Review





Allu Arjun’s fans are going crazy, all over the country especially in Hyderabad as his next movie Julayi hits the theatres today. With the first show in progress at the theatres now, the movie has already created quite a buzz. Directed by Trivikakram Srinivas, the film is said to have opened with one of his typical punch dialogues. The plot as quoted on aplive.net is as follows: “Ravi (Arjun) is happy-go-lucky youngster with an attitude to get rich over night and he doesn’t believe in hard earned money rather believes in easy money. At a certain point in the movie he falls in trouble with the money he earns by chance and he realizes his mistakes and changes his mind set. How he turns from a Street smart guy to an honest youngster forms the rest of the plot”. Starring opposite “Bunny” in the movie is Ileana D'Cruz who fits the bill perfectly as a High Tech Engineer. Just like all rom-coms the male lead protagonist falls in love which then is obviously followed by a twist and turn of events before the two actually get together. Jualyi too is somewhat based on the same lines when Ravi after falling into some money-trouble is a reason for people in a parallel world to hunt him down and kill him before the hero and the heroine have a “happily ever after.” The movie despite all the drama and action is said to end on a good note. The movie proceeds at a smooth pace from the start to the end just like all other “Trivikakram” movies considering such story lines are usually his forte. The music composed by Devi Sri Prasad has varied set of tracks. The title track is composed with foot tapping beats and has a peppy ring to it and without any doubt the one song to watch out for. The movie has other catchy songs targeted especially for a young crowd. And if your all in for melody, make sure you do not miss “o madhu.” Though the movie has nothing new to offer, it definitely should be easy money and well received. With good music and a splendid star cast, the movie has everything going on for it. I would solely watch it just for the sake of the stylish and ever-charming Allu Arjun. Definitely worth a onetime watch, so do not miss it. Final Verdict: The movie is definitely here to stay and a sure entertainer!!!
