Social network  is about the story of the creator of facebook Mark Zuckerberg ,the creator of the  current craze in the world-facebook.Its a real life story based upon the book "Accidental billionaire" written by Ben Mezrich.
Released in the year 2010,directed by David Fincher,starring Jesse Eisenberg,Justin Timberlake,Andrew Garfield,this movie is a huge commercial and critical success and it has garnered 3 academy awards: Best screenplay,original score and film editing.
This movie is about how facebook was formed in the dorm after Mark breaks up with his girl friend.Then how he stole an idea from his friends &  developed more and converted it into  social network.How he learned to develop it all the way through his experience in his college.How the creator of Napster helped him to develop facebook.Then how he was brought into the law suit for deceiving his own friends in the making of the facebook.This movie is amazing to see the rise of mark in making up of the biggest social network website in the planet.

Friends with Benefits


Friends with benefits-A Movie review

Same old wine in a new bottle,thats what I can say about "friends with benefits".Even the movie accepts that this same old stories are made again and again by referring to this fact in some of the scenes in this movie.
Yes,A girl breaks up with a workaholic boy,A Boy breaks up with a high spirited girl.Workaholic boy and Hi spirited girl meet each other and after sometime they started to be friends with a single benefit "Sex without any Love emotions".The movie ends whether their relationship changes into love or not.I hope you know the end of the movie by this time.
Justin timberlake and Mila kunis are excellent in their performance.The screenplay and dialogue is good.It keeps the movie entertaining to watch.The way Justin and mila analyze all along the movie about breakup,love ,relationship is a bit different and it really gives a new version of how we look at relationships.
The story does not go along between the two,it has other characters like mila's mom,justin's friend and his father and this adds up to a lot of feel good scenes to watch.
Music is lovable and this movie is much recommended for romantic movie lovers
This movie is recommended for all drama,comedy,romance fans

A FEW GOOD MEN

"You cant handle the truth"

"Code red"

This segment is about one of the best and engaging movies I have ever watched “A few good men”.This movie is adapted from a theatre play.Normally plays don’t work for movie audience but still it has been tailor made for the movie audience with well written screenplay and an excellent cast and direction which has made it a commercial and critical success.

Released in the year 1992,Directed by Rob Reiner written by Aoron sorkin,starring tom cruise,demi moore ,jack Nicolson,Kevin bacon,it has been nominated for four academy awards but has not won any but this movie is being recognized as one of the best movies in the drama genre.

This movie is about a careless lawyer becomes serious and fights for the lives of two marines in the murder of private Santiago while executing their order from their superior to punish the private by the code called code red.The movie shifts between losing and winning the legal battle but finally whether the lawyer with his team wins the battle or not makes the end of the story.

Tom cruise is a lucky actor.An actor becomes a superstar based upon the good movies he initially gets.He is the one actor to whom the best movies are set automatically and all patriotic ones like the one born on 4th july,rain man,top gun...this all  movies are the reason for him to reach the superstardom.cast is excellent and they have made wonders in the movie.Demi moore looked great in the movie.The cast have made an excellent performance.This movie was a drama in the theater and the screenplay was made to suit the cinema audience as it is true that the drama cannot work for cinema.but still we have few scenes which works great in drama that is voice modulation,increase or decrease your voice.

Like Anthony hopkins in silence of the lambs where he comes in short time but takes away the attention of the audience and shocks them.Jack nicholson takes away the audience in the court room scene, with a splendid,amazing.Nobody can match this versatile actor.

Tom cruise plays great in first as a careless lawyer but as the story progress he becomes involved about the case and performs well in each and every scene.

The court scenes are realistic,amazing and the movie strength lies on the well coordinated fact based dialogues in the court room.music goes with the movie not dominating the movie.

This movie is recommended for all  drama and suspense movie audience
