Broken Flowers



  • Directed by Jim Jarmusch
  • Starring Bill Murray, Jeffrey Wright, Sharon Stone, Tilda Swinton, Jessica Lange, Julie Deply
  • The movie tells the story of a successful but lonesome man who tries to find his son, although he is not sure he has one, by visiting his former girlfriends who might be the mother. After meeting them, he is more lost, more lonesome, more confused and more empty. This movie is written for Bill Murray, who made a big success in "Lost in Translation". Funny but sad movie.

She's The Man



  • Directed by Andy Fickman
  • Starring Amanda Bynes, Channing Tatum
  • A romantic comedy inspired by Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night", this movie is more fun and entertaining than I'd expected. Amanda Bynes is cute, lovable and funny. This movie is made for her.

Failure to Launch



  • Directed by Tom Dev
  • Starring Matthew McConaughey, Sarah Jessica Parker
  • The title of the movie describes itself. This is neither a romantic nor a comedy. There are many supposed-to-be funny plots, involving supporting cast, which are unrelated to the main theme of the movie. Horrible scriptwriting.

Inside Man



  • Directed by Spike Lee
  • Starring Clive Owen, Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster
  • A story about bank robbers playing cat-and-mouse chase with policemen. Interesting and complicating scriptwriting with clever twists and turns and best performances of casts, especially Jodie Foster. The film is, however, not a thriller movie that you can expect to get excitement from.
