RJG Rating-75

The biopic of the Edgar Hoover, considered the Most Powerful Man In the World..The movie follows Hoover's personal life and his tenure as the first director of the FBI..

Starring- Leonardo DiCaprio ,Armie Hammer ,Naomi Watts
Director- Clint Eastwood

Clint Eastwood directs another great movie with J.Edgar..But it isnt his best..Direction by Clint is usually very subtle and has a certain power to it ,but here he falters a bit..The first half is neatly done but by the second half the movie starts to stumble here and there..

But considering that the personal life of Edgar Hoover is a mystery to many ,its understandable that the movie hiccups during the more dramatical second half ,since its where the stories are filtered from rumours rathar than from hard facts..This is addressed in the movie itself..

Even though Clint Eastwood may have stumbled ,Leonardo DiCaprio doesnt...After almost one and a half years after his last release (Inception),Leonardo brings Hoover to life with a solid performance..He carries the entire movie on his shoulders and captures the raw intensity of the highly feared,Hoover...
Naomi Watts & Armie Hammer also give noteworthy performances..

On final notes,J Edgar , wont dissappoint fans of Leonardo and Eastwood...Still its a great movie to watch..

Jill visits her twin brother Jack..Jack is ashamed of his sister and tries to get rid of her..

Starring- Adam Sandler ,Al Pacino ,Katie Holmes
Director- Dennis Dugan

This movie is ONLY for Sandler fans..The movie is generally a disgusting pile of mess.The story barely filling the 90min.

Adam Sandler ,in a double role, gives another crazy performance...Katie Holmes & Al Pacino (yes,Al Pacino is there in this movie,as Al Pacino) give wasted performances..

Among the pile of fart jokes ,and other standard Sandler jokes, some were indeed funny,but then again im a Sandler fan and may be a bit biased..

The acting,directing and whatever else this movie is pasted together with is just a huge mess..Due to its short length and if you are a fan of Sandler ,and dont mind some mindless comedy, Jack&Jill is a one time watch,for others stay clear of it...

Acting-1/5
Direction-1/5
Story-0.5/5
Comedy-3/5

Reese & Finch try to track down their new POI , a boy who has witnessed his brother's murder..
Its another good episode for the show..Finch's secret history is a very nice sub-plot that is being slowly revealed.Overall the show has been keeping up its standards pretty high...
