Movie Review

World War Z
I was quite excited about this movie starring one of my favourites, Brad Pitt. Maybe, it was too much excitement. I was disappointed with this movie about Zombies. Does the Z in the title stand for Zombie?  
I thought I had seen all that with I am Legend. A disease let loose on mankind through some bacteria or virus and then men turn into zombies who bite each other to spread this diaease. But mind you, they are only looking for healthy hosts and therein lies the solution to the problem. Watch the movie if you like Brad Pitt. There is no takeaway from this one. :(

The Heat
Again went to see this movie coz I am a Sandra Bullock fan. Again was disappointed. The script was quite loose. However, this all women movie with a name like The Heat is a good change. Loved Melissa McCarthy. Both Sandra and Melissa have impeccable comic timing and that is what worked for me.

Movies: To see or not to see???

The Help:
 A heart wrenching and a heart warming tale of the 'coloured' help in the 1960s in Southern America (here, Jackson) and their fight for dignity. Viola Davis is amazingly convincing. Definitely a must watch.

Extremely Loud Incredibly Close:
Sandra Bullock and Tom Hanks - Could it have gotten any better? Yes, we can put in Thomas Horn who plays their 'special' child and you have a winner. The story revolves around the boy's search for a connection with his father who is a victim of the 9/11 disaster. The boy reminded me so much of Christopher in the book, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon, who is also out on a mission. This movie is also a definite watch.
There is link between the two movies -  The Help and ELIC, and that is Viola Davis.
