Death Defying Long Kiss Goodnight

Violence Unleashed

So what does : The Long Kiss Goodnight" really means?

Actually it is an euphemism for death.

Blondie Transformation

So, in this movie, it is Samantha saying goodbye forever to Charlene Elizabeth Baltimore the killer operative of the CIA forever.

The movie is very tightly edited and does not pull any punches where violence is concerned.

Gorgeous Sharpshooter

I think Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson has screen chemistry to pull off this movie as one of the most memorable hits of all time.

Twice the action!

Great movie, great actress. Have fun!

A Tourist By Default

Truly Refreshing!

An accidental tourist is one that turns tourist by accident as he is oftentimes a businessman on the move. So, in this movie, the protagonist is a writer of tourist guidebooks for such businessmen to make the best use of their time and opportunity overseas or on out of town trips.

Captivating Throughout!

Much depressed after his son’s death, Macon (William Hurt) the writer could not get over it as he was still in the 'Leary comfort groove' with his brothers and sister. Only after his wife,  Sarah (Kathleen Turner) separated from him, that he became much aware that he must have closure and he sought the solace of Muriel, an animal hospital employee.

The movie was great, the dialogue biting and the twists and turn keeps you waiting for what will really happened. Totally unpredictable but you know that you are in for a great finish!

Grace in Defeat

The music is superb!

The best scene is when the cab which Muriel is hailing stops right in front of her. Thinking so that the taxi is meant for her, she could not but helped catching sight of Macon in the cab. Their eyes met and their smiles sum it all up!

And Geena Davis deserves her Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress of 1988.

Mayhem in the Big Apple

Action Station

The premise,?

Loki-Thor's Asgard half brother takes on the world with some aliens.

To save planet earth, The Avengers have to be arrayed against them.

From Nick Fury, Captain America, The Hulk (David Banner), Black Widow (Natasha Ramanof)), Ironman (Tony Stark), Clint Barton, the members of the super-hero league called the SHIELD battled these monsters laying waste to New York and the populace.

Absolute Charm

Plenty of action and special effects but as usual weak on story-line.

Providing the eye candy is the ever beautiful Scarlett Johanssen, newcomer Cobie Smulders as well as Gwyneth Palthrow in the role of Pepper Potts.

Cobie

Good for an afternoon session before taking a nap.

Enjoyable Expandables 2

Lots of Action,loads of fun!

I thought it was just a couple of big names that will carry the show. But, I was wrong.

Apart from the muscle men, there was a good story-line that gel them together.

Do not look too closely at the dialogue though some are really quite witty on second thoughts.

Ravishing!

Though they look old and even wizened, these heroes in the likes of Sylvestor Stallone, Arnold Swazenegger, Dolph Lungren, Bruce Willis, Jet Li, Jean Claude Van Damme, Jason Statham and Chuck Norris do provide the jugular fun for us to be entertained throughout the movie.

Gorgeous!

Providing the eye candy is that mystic beauty from China, Yu Nan.

The Sublimal Sunset

What a view!

Place: 42nd Street New York
Date: 29 May 2013

What a perspective of a setting sun on the horizon of evening traffic in the Big Apple!

Enjoy!!

I Give It A Year

Mismatched for a Year?

It can be pedestrian but if you stay the full length of the movie, there could be some saving grace.

A classic story of finding love and catching whoever comes on the re-bound set the stage for this love story of non-matching couples who stay with their spouses because they want to stay the course of a marriage.

Playing along- Simon Baker and Anna Faris

" I Give It a Year" provided time enough for Natalie and her author husband to live together to tolerate all the things they hate about each other.

The Lovely Rose Byrne

While the dialogue is mostly  silliness, there are some witty dialogue and also " four letter" vocabulary that peppered the movie.

What kept me going was the beautiful Rose Byrne who provided sufficient appeal as the movie moved on or else I would have lost interest.

Anna Faris and Minnie Driver starred along with Simon  Baker and Rafe Spall.

The Kingdom and the Beauty

The Royal Pair of Filmdom

Even in celluloid world, we pay homage to kings, queens and an assortment of royalties.

Here is the ever debonair Ang Lee and the irresistible Nicole Kidman.

For the current Cannes Film Festival, they are indeed the festival's anointed King and Beauty.
