From Paris With Love



If you like John Travolta, then I am sure you will like this one. The Bald look is much better. Secret agent US posted in Paris does smaller jobs of espionage, betroaths a French girl and is happy with his job until he meets his partner, work partner that is. He realizes that what he wanted was not what he got.

They enter into some serious terrorist busting business for US. Destroy an entire terrorist cell and avert a major attack on the US embassy in Paris. The action scenes are shot too well, me favourate part being the RPG (Rocket Propelled Granade) that he uses to kill a terrorist on the run. Some of the scenes are quiet disturbing, escpecially a cold blooded shot right into the head of an unarmed girl while they have dinner.

Its a good one time watch, its got some real action.

Cairo Time



A slow movie about an American woman who comes to Cairo to meet her husband, who works for UN at Gaza. The ongoing Gaza war delays his arrival to Cairo and so she has to wait until he can come back. But she finds a local person, a friend of her husband in Cairo to kill time with. He takes her to different places in Cairo, a boat ride in the nile, and lots of other places.

They both develop a certain affection to each other, as he is extremely descent and gentlemanly. At the end, she finally meets her husband at her hotel and visit the pyramids. Its a very slow movie. If you are desperate for watching a movie then this might make your desperation aggressive. Its a good for a lazy afternoon watch.

Damage



The story of a prisoner convicted of murder who is released on parole. Steve Austin plays the prisoner, acting is not the best. He finds out later that he was granted parole upon the recommendation of the wife of the person for who's murder he was convicted for. But, there is string attached to this favour. She wants him to bear the expenses of her daughter's heart transplant, a 150 grands. Neither her noe him have that kind of money so he takes to underground fighting.

He fights for good and not out of rage as the other fighters do and turns out to be a damn good one. Certain things happen, a single good deed in saving a life, he gets the money that he needs to save the little girl's life. The funny character being the probation officer. Although some of the fighting scenes might be a little bit disturbing, the movie is pretty good otherwise. Its a one time watch.

Transformer: Revenge of the fallen



Of course the 1st one is better than this one, but this one has better special effects. The sinking aircraft carrier is the best part. Such a huge thing sinking looks just marvelous. More robots, make it even more better. A bit of hypocrisy and the way they get rid of it is just ridiculous but funny at the same time.
A robot monitoring a satellite communication by attaching itself to the satellite seems a little unrealistic. But if you like the first one then this is a must watch.

The Transformers




Wow !! The best description is just this one word. Mind-blowing special effects. Seems so futuristic. Big huge robots fighting with each other is so awesome to see. Also, the part where they transform is also just great. It must have taken a great mind to come up with something like this.
These are not just some machines, but machines with emotions, machines with goals to accomplish. Combine these robots with military machines and it geta even better. The movie is a must watch.
