Movie Review: Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants 2
Filed Under reviews | Comments Off
Matt Chang asked:
Now, I am probably about 15 years older than the girls in this movie, and I am a man. Fortunately, I had no trouble empathizing with the four young women who are bound to friendship through their magical bifurcated nether garment(fancy word for pants) — more so than I did with the Sex and the City gang, who are much closer to my age, but still, 180 Degrees different from my gender.
Like Sex and the City, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 works better if you know the characters already through their previous appearances, because you’re already emotionally invested in them. I hadn’t read the young-adult novels by Ann Brashares, but my sister, who is a big fan, filled me in and we determined that this movie is based mostly on the fourth book in the series, with a few changes, so even if you’ve read the books you get some surprises. Don’t think that you are at a loss if you have not read any of the novels, as you are still able to get a good understanding of each character, and the story lines are easy to follow.
The chief problem is the four-part storyline, which, like the first film, finds the main characters separated for the summer and keeping in touch by sending back and forth the “magical pants” remember bifurcated nether garments? that fits all four of them. Be prepared to follow this movie along the four different storylines. This time it’s the summer after freshman year of college for the girls, and while Carmen (America Ferrera) plans to spend the break at home with her pals, the others have bigger plans. Tibby (Amber Tamblyn) sticks around NYU to work at a video store and work on her screenplay, Bridget (Blake Lively) treks off to an archaeological dig in Turkey, and Lena (Alexis Bledel) takes a figure drawing class in Rhode Island.
A pair of secondhand jeans inset with rhinestones plays a major role in “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.” Anyone who saw the first movie or read the novels that inspired the films will be familiar with these well-worn bottoms. They serve as a bond among four girlfriends. Each can magically squeeze into them, although the pals are different sizes and shapes.
Their lives, already starting to pull apart in the first “Pants,” rip apart further in this thoroughly engaging sequel, which has some gems of wisdom to impart but does so gently. With one year of college now over, the girls are on the cusp of becoming full blown grown ups. Holding on to the past is difficult when the future keeps intruding. To remind themselves of what they had together as best friends, they mail the gritty jeans to one another at various summer ports of call.
During their summers, the four women deal with issues of trust, love, guilt, and value. Partially due to their separate adventures, and partially due to their increased independence and individuality, the girls primarily go through their journeys of discovery on their own, and develop their own independence. At times, the increased separation between them is obviously apparent. At others, it becomes an opening for a strong cast of supporting characters/mentors to shine. But at the end of the day, the girls prove that while there are certain things they must discover on their own, they will always be there for each other and to provide that kind of guidance and support that a tight bond can only do.
Most impressing was that these women seemed to come away from their challenges stronger, wiser, and, for the most part, in places better than where they were before. At the end, you get the sense that they actually are in healthy relationships, that they have learned from their mistakes, and that love and friendship have in fact triumphed over selfishness and isolation.
And while there’s an element of fantasy to much of the movie, serious issues, including teen pregnancy and mental illness, lurk beneath the cinematic sheen.
Like its predecessor, “Sisterhood 2″ is based on two radical ideas: namely, that young women’s stories are about more than the pursuit of men, and that happiness isn’t something that you are given, or is something that is external. It is inside you, and you need to find it for yourself.
This is a great teen movie, or even a great mother daughter movie to wind up the Summer with. With a strong cast and engaging story line, “Sisterhood 2″ is a wonderful second spin around the block.

Movie Review: I love you man
Filed Under reviews | Comments Off
Maxxborshoff asked:
Paul Rudd made a startling jump from Drama to comedy, I still think people remembers him by the name Paul Stephen Rudd and his roles in The Great Gatsby and The Cider House Rules, to grope even further he was in the sixth Halloween movie, it was quite unlikely that he would hit success with Comedy in the end.
Jason Segal had been a comic actor from the beginning and has been tickling our funny bonne for a long time. Except a few appearances in CSI we all remember him as the rockaholic teen Nick Andopolis in Paul Freig and Freaks and Geeks. Jason would have been a great comic actor may whatever happened
Rudd and Segal plays to the audience’s expectations as a straight man looking for man love for reasons completely different while Segal is the guy who does the comedy part by letting us know that he is gay and wanna take on everything.
The story begins with Rudd’s character Peter Klaven proposing to his girlfriend Zooey (Rashida Jones) as later he comes to realize he has no guy friends whom he can get for his best man in the wedding.
Peter asks for help from his brother Robbie (Andy Samberg) who is gay and has many men friends, he fixes up Peter to meet various men which ends up in hilarious consequences, and the fun amps up when he tries to get Zooey’s friend’s husband (John Favreau) to be his best man.
The story continues as Peter meets Segel’s character Sydney Fife and they become chums easily. Sydney has got his Man den, which is filled up, to the brim with various stuff like guitars, lots of TVs Bong etc. And so they finally fall in love later to understand each other’s orientation and then heartbreak and moving out, the question remains will they join hands before the end?
But the only glitch for this movie that it is intentionally directed towards a certain market which we know as the Twitter generation, but aside that the chemistry between the two leads is awesome as they carry their roles like a breeze. They both fit into their roles like a glove and do a great job on the whole. The movie is satisfying but somewhere leaves an empty spot.

X Files: I Want To Believe Movie Review
Filed Under reviews | Comments Off
Matt Chang asked:
So what is it that I want to believe? This summer’s release of the second installment to the X-Files movie has been highly anticipated? I’m sure it has been for all of the diehard X-Files fans, but honestly, I then see very much buzz about the movie coming out. Especially up against the release of the smash hits the Dark Knight, and Iron Man I was wondering who really remembered what the X-Files was about.
Now I do have to admit that I am not an X-Files and and I did not watch the show on TV, but I did see the first movie.
Now, talking about hype, this movie was very tightlipped, very hush-hush and industry really pushed to try to get people really buzzing to try to find out what was going on with the next installment? the thing is, if you’re going to be this hush-hush about a movie and really try to create a buzz around it but you better deliver… And this X-Files episode, though stocked with lots of special effects and here he sets, pretty much comes up empty handed.
The second X-Files movie following The X-Files: Fight the Future a decade ago, though not a sequel, is really just a hodgepodge of different storylines. It’s as if the moviemakers were trying to please everyone and in trying to do so disappoint all.
Under the direction of the television series creator Chris Carter, is Gillian Anderson who called back to duty as sixth sense sleuth Dana Scully, and she doesn’t disappoint. David Duchovny as her somewhat dazed and confused reluctant partner Fox Mulder barely registers as a dramatic force here, though it’s clearly not his fault. Both actors do a great job, but acting alone can save a movie that’s poorly put together and one shouldn’t have to hold the movie a by the two stars alone.
The story begins rather promisingly with a nocturnal sequence, set in a snowy West Virginia town, and the capturing of a young, innocent woman by a creepy man driving a tractor. Meanwhile, hundreds of FBI agents are following Father Joseph Crissman (Billy Connolly), a strange psychic, sporting long white hair and thick glasses, who tries to illustrate his visions and redeems his shady past by taking the agents to the scene of the crime. However, this is where it ends.
This movie is tangled and disjointed with cheeseball special-effects designed just to get a quick scare out of you. If you like sitting through two hours of confusion, disjointedness, and question marks, and this movie is just for you.
Many fans are wondering what happens with Mulder and Scully, but that is something you need to see for yourself in the movie. We can’t let the spoiler out here.
The sad thing is that is seems like Fox didn’t want to believe in the movie either, as the budget was cut in the making of the film, and it feels like the movie was quickly slapped together. The movie is a stand alone, as it doesn’t rely on any of the episodes from tv like the original movie did.
But, if you are going to see this one, you really have to want to believe it’s going to be good.

I Am Legend Movie Review
Filed Under reviews | Comments Off
Debra Mayfield asked:
As a self proclaimed movie buff, I have found it difficult over the past few years to find a film worthy of my perusal. I love movies with layers of depth and hidden messages that I can watch over and over enjoying every moment each time. Friends and family don’t necessarily enjoy watching along with me as I tend to have dialog with the screen or rewind scenes to watch how a person moves, speaks or simply executes a phenomenal plan. “I AM LEGEND” has proven itself to be one of these films.
Will Smith gives an Oscar worthy performance as Dr. Robert Neville, as best I can say, a military scientist of Lieutenant Status who searches of cures for diseases. As this super intense drama begins, it seems that a long awaited viral cure for cancer has rabid side effects and is now airborne on Manhattan Island. We see a more mature Will Smith within a serious character portraying a lonely problem solver with all the emotions and desires of a good man. And ladies, God is a good God. Will does us the distinct favor of displaying his body which is righteously fit and that physique … simply flawless. He gives us a performance of a lifetime showing all how REAL drama is to be portrayed.
The beauty of this film is that one man has managed to capture the audience’s attention and carry the film well over 75% of its length. It offers us the opportunity to get inside the head of a man who is proclaimed to be the last man alive, yet he is not alone. As one would think that the film would become monotonous and routine, no two days are the same when one is trying to survive, continuously search for additional forms of human life and find a cure to the virus which has rid him of every person he has ever known. Relentless and methodical, Dr. Neville’s life is governed by alarms, scientific experiments and the love of his dog Sam. He is plagued by memories of a fulfilled former life with a lovely wife and daughter, played by his real life daughter Willow Smith. At times it seems Dr. Neville’s ego has gotten the best of him and made him turn into a mad scientist but it seems this personality trait is necessary for what he will need to accomplish.
An intriguing trait of Dr. Neville’s life is talking to objects he has strategically placed around town emulating life about him. These manikins help him to maintain his sanity in the midst of unthinkable insanity by making him feel that his is not all alone. He speaks to his dog, who is his best friend, as if she were human and he is awaiting her response. These are his only sources in which he communicates.
Alternatively, there is a percentage of the earth’s population whom has turned into what are called the dark seekers. These creatures to me could be known as one’s alter ego whom we need to overcome within us in order to successfully reign in life. These are rabid like humans who now have no traits of human life as they have evolved into mutated creatures of darkness. Their main objective is to devour any life form and as you can imagine, there is very little of this available. Neville is plagued by these forces and programs his life around extreme daylight as these creatures are extremely sensitive to ultra violet rays. His main objective is to stay clear yet capture and perform studies on these creatures in hopes of converting them back to their human state, therefore bringing harmony back to a now desolate earth.
My interpretation of this film is that Dr. Robert Neville is a type of Christ, bringing to earth new life often symbolized in the form of a butterfly. I personally saw four butterfly symbols throughout the film but did find that it is necessary to see this film repeatedly to catch all forms of symbolism pertaining to the events which haven taken place and changed the world as we know it. It is the new blood which will bring this new life and a sacrifice necessary for new life to commence.
This film takes my vote for Best Film of 2007. I recommend “I AM LEGEND” to those who crave meaty substance in what they watch. All in all, amidst this intense drama, is an ending which will satisfy. I believe it is possible to become one with this film and get inside the science of creating our own new cosmos, both within and without. I believe that each of us can play a part of a new creation in our own unique way. Let’s get busy becoming Legends!
