John Carter Update


Disney has reported that John Carter would cause them a loss of a staggering $200million...

Even though the movie is doing well in foreign markets and has recovered about $180million worldwide,its the huge budget of $350 million (Production+Marketing) that has brought the movie down...

If so ,John Carter makes the record for the biggest flop of all time..

John Carter was directed by Andrew Stanton who is well known for his previous 2 movies ,Wall-E & Finding Nemo..His credentials also include writing for the Toy Story series & also Monsters Inc....But unlike Brad Bird (who directed 2011 hit Mission Impossible 4) ,this Pixar hero couldnt make his impression on live action movies..

Plans for a sequel have also been dropped disappointing many fans..


We Bought a Zoo (2011)

[heart warming family movie]


We Bought a Zoo (2011)
IMDB-7.3
RottenTomatoes-66
RJG Rating-90

Recently widowed Benjamin Mee,wants to restart his life...So he buys a house away from the city...But this house comes with a surprise..It has a zoo in the backyard..

Starring- Matt Damon ,Scarlett Johanson
Director- Cameron Crowe

WBOA is another sweet movie from the director that brought us Jerry McGuire,Vanilla Sky,Say Anything among others..

Matt Damon gives another charming performance in the main role..He hasnt dissappointed us for a long time....Scarlett Johanson joins him in giving a perfect supporting role..Special mentions to the 2 kids ,Colin & Maggie who just add to the cuteness of the whole movie..

The story isnt too deep & it offers the viewers a straight forward movie ,which is easy to follow ,yet keeps us engaged in the proceedings...
The whole movie is beautiful from start to finish...The amazing cinematography captures the beauty of the whole park and the atmosphere..

The movie is a perfectly balanced mixture of both the drama & the comedy genre..Its one of those sweet movies that you could just sit back and enjoy with the whole family...A must-watch...

Acting- 5/5
Story- 4/5
Direction- 4.5/5
Drama- 4.5/5
Comedy- 4/5

Two And A Half Men [9x19]

Two And A Half Men [9x19] Palmdale, Ech
TV com Rating-7.8
RJG Rating-6

Alan meets Evelyn's mother ,while Jake & Eldridge try to impress Walden with their 'innovative' ideas..

For the first time this season,Alan is given more priority than Walden...Thankfully it all goes well..COmedy was on the average side..It was nice to see the lead cast members [Jake gets a substantial role this time] getting to share equal screentime..But overall it doesnt seem this season will ever reach the heights the show set up with Charlie...


Walking Dead [2x13] Finale

Walking Dead [2x13] Beside the Dying Fire
TV com Rating-8.9
RJG Rating-5

The survivors try to put up a stand against a huge army of zombies..

This episode should have been the best considering it had the only good thing Season2 ever offered--Zombie Slaughter..But once again they screw it up..
What would a normal person do when faced with hundreds of zombies & all you have is limited ammo & a couple of getaway vehicles? Run off....This piece of common sense occurs to the group only after they almost run out of ammo...
Carl & Lori being the 2 most irritating characters have their own respective scenes of utter insanity..
The climax had 2 twists...Both arent much of spoilers,so here it goes..Rick says the whole group is infected and they would turn into zombies when they are killed..Incase you havnt got the twist here, You dont need to be bitten by a zombie to be a zombie (as seen in the case of Shane)...(or im mistaken here,Rick just says one line on it)
If Season 2 was people stuck at a barn ,Season 3 will be that of the survivors stuck at a prison..Sigh..
Out of all the chaotic scenes,Andrea's fate was nicely depicted..Too bad it was too short...
Overall S2 was a BIG BIG disappointment considering it followed the brilliant S1...S2 wasted time showing over the top melodrama + irritating characters (Carl & Lori) + tons of stupid decisions...
I hope S3 is cancelled if it plans to follow in the footsteps of S2..

TV com Rating-8.6
RJG Rating-8

Liz's new relationship is threatened by the arrival of Dennis,while Jack attempts to use his business principles on the writers board game..

Even though i felt that the stories were too short and a bit forgettable,this episode was funny and much better than the previous couple...

How I Met Your Mother [7x19]

How I Met Your Mother [7x19] The Broath
TV com rating-8.7
RJG rating-6

Barney & Quinn share some big news with the group..

Even though this episode was good,it wasnt great...It was unusally more of drama and used some recycled comedy..
Even though HIMYM seems to be trying to break itself from the obviously boring episodes,it just cant do it anymore..The biggest symptom was the Ceaser story by Barney...In previous seasons,this would have been hilarious,but here it was just a time filler...The climax didnt have ANY punch (Barney pulling a con)...But the Robin story might have a big twist soon..
