robert de niro is BACK....neither in the usual all swearing psychotic(the roles he has been doing all his life),nor as the humourous funnyman(the roles he has been doing for the last 10 yrs or so)....but in a role which really fits in to his age !!
everybody's fine is a emotional journey and is not at all a feel good movie as indicated by the trailers!it is rather thoroughly depressing....the movie is about a father's relationship with his children and how he refuses to see them grow up,how his children hide facts from him and how he gets hurt.its about the underlying respect children have for their dads,but is unable to express them !!
the movie starts pretty slowly but becomes pretty interesting and emotional in the 2nd half....robert de niro's performance is praiseworthy...the supporting cast also did a good job specially drew barrymore and sam rockwell...
this movie should be more appealing to the above 30 bracket,but still in general its really good!!
The return of Robert De Niro
Everybody's Fine-
Robert De Niro it seems has finally realised that he is in his mid-60s and cannot possibly continue to keep doing the macho angry man roles...

WHAT A SUPERB PERFORMANCE....
The movie is pretty depressing and pretty beautiful...it explores the relationships of a father with his children...I liked the movie quite a lot...and De Niro gives a superb performance...after a long time...He hasn't done this kind of roles before...a quiet matured impassioned performance from Mr De Niro...definitely recommended...

My Left Foot- Thank God For DDl
We as human mortals should really thank god for producing an actor like DDL.i mean what he does with this roles can NEVER be done by any1 else.If anybody wants to see the best possible portrayal of a role give it to DDL.The amount of perfection he brings about a role is undeniable.
As far is the movie is concerned,i was left speechless by the performances.
the movie was great too.. after everything is performance driven in the movie.Had the performances not been good the movie wld have failed to create an impact

Harishchandrachi factory
I expected a bit more from this movie. I mean yes it was a autobiographical movie. No nothing can be altered from the real events, but there must be a msg behind it which is clear. It had a msg of passion, as a movie lover i simply loved the things happening on screen. Music used was brilliant. Acting was good it not best. But the ending didn't have a punch to it. i will give it 7.89 on 10.....cant give a clear 8 because of the acting....

The film on the other hand made an awesome scar in my heart. It is a film one must never miss.
It is about a 17 year old teen who roams aimless in a remote village called CoalWood.
That was the time when Russia launched Sputnik and made a history in space explorations.
One evening everyone will come out to watch sputnik orbiting the sky, it will look like a tiny star moving, it was the time when the kid, goes dumb and realizes that he too wants to be there at the heights.
His dad and school principal want him to do their town job, which is coal mining, but his teacher will strongly support him to pursuade his dreams..
After many tragedies and sorrows, Homer gets to make rockets.
Homer, the kid is the future NASA engineer.
A worth watching movie , i started to see this film by half past 12 in the night and i didn't sleep till the film got over!!!

Why "The Hurt Locker" is good
i) This film is about the story of the Bomb Squad team in Iraq.
ii) Due to securit issues, this film was short in Jordan.
iii) This film is directed by Kathryn Bigelow, who is the ex - wife of James Cameroon.
Story Line
This film clearly showcases the sufferings of the USA bomb squad team in USA and also expresses their desire to save people, in spite of the danger they face. Thomson, the bomb squad leader, dies in a bomb blast, when he tries to deactivate the bomb.
He is replaced by James, and the rest of the story deals with how he proves that he was efficient in his job to save innocent lives from bomb blast. He nearly faces death, but wins the race all the time. At the end, his schedule was over and he returns to USA.
Later he was very much worried abou the continuouis bomb blast in Iraq, and finally he returns to Iraq and continues to serve for the people. A touching film indeed. You can check the list below to find the actual reason.
to start with this movie is a out and out holocaust movie...it shows all the things the Jews had to go through during the holocaust....but the perspective is very different...the whole holocaust is shown through the eyes of a 8 year old kid,Bruno...who is innocent and is completely unaware of the whole situation in Germany...and to complicate things the father of this kid is a highly placed Nazi officer...
at the start of the movie the characters are introduced in Berlin,they are shown as a happy and self sufficient family..Bruno has friends in the locality and is very happy with his life...he also has a 12 year old sister and a very understanding and compassionate mother..his father is a very dutiful officer but is also an understanding but stern parent...soon afterwards their father breaks to them the news that they must shift to another place...Bruno is naturally very upset..now the family is shown to have shifted to their new house...there is a concentration camp nearly a mile away from their house..the boy develops curiosity regarding the concentration camp and their parents somehow manages to dodge his questions..their parents even keeps a tutor,who teaches the kids history in which Bruno is the least interested in,the only thing he is interested in is adventure...his sister however starts loving the subjects and gets addicted to the Nazi mentality and develops anti jew sentiments...Bruno soon befriends a Jewish boy of the same age who is equally innocent..and they play along the barbed wires of the camp...this friend is a friend which he never had in his life...the confusion in his mind about the teachings of his teacher,ie-all jews are bad,and they are bad for the country... and its vast difference with reality is brilliantly shown and i think is one of the strongest points in the movie....generalization is infact an offence!!
i wont divulge more facts from the plot of the movie..but i must tell u the climax is really hard hitting!!
this movie is really one of its kind..9/10
