Movies i watched recently















1. GET SMART

Get smart is incomparably dumb, nonetheless, one of the funniest movies i've ever watched. I never laughed this much since "Pink Panther Diamond Case" which was a helluva comedy movie.. Its pretty much a 'hero spoof' as my cousin (Vic) describes it. They're both "secret agents" who are trying to save the world (so cliched).

The Story:
Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) works as an analyst at Control, a U.S. spy agency that was supposed to have closed after KAOS was defeated. However, KAOS is far from being dead. KAOS penetrates Control and steals the names of all their field agents, and they then begin to kill Control agents around the world. The Chief (Alan Arkin) promotes Maxwell Smart, designates him Agent 86, and partners him with Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway). Smart has always wanted to be a field agent, but he wanted to be partnered with the best, Agent 23 (Dwayne Johnson). Smart is given a little training and some spy-tech gadgets to help him do his job. Smart and Agent 99 have uncovered information of where Siegfried (Terence Stamp), the sinister head of KAOS is located, and they go after him to stop him from taking over the world. Douglas Young (the-movie-guy)



2. HANCOCK
Hancock is a (drunk) superhero movie, the FIRST superhero who is always (and i mean ALWAYS) drunk. The storyline is pretty much like "Transformers". Aliens on earth who save the earth from (any) evil and then remain on earth among people. But Transformers had much better action and the story concept, even though very cliched, was fine. I probably liked Hancock only because Will Smith is one of my fav actors. He's a great rapper too. But anyway, most of the movie was predictable. Still, it was okay.

The Story: John Hancock (Will Smith) is an unhappy and reluctant superhero who is living in his own world. For some unknown reason, Hancock is depressed and has started drinking very heavily. He has saved many lives in Los Angles over the years, but in doing so, he has no regards for damaging buildings, trains, roads, cars, or anything that gets in his way to get the job done. The last time he captured several criminals, it cost the city $9 million to fix the damages. The public has had enough of Hancock, and they want him to stop or go to another city. Then one day, Hancock saves the life of Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman) from being run over by a train. Ray is a Public Relations executive who now can go home to his wife and child, because Hancock was there. Ray owes Hancock his life, and he makes it his mission to change his superhero's image and have the public cheering him. Ray's wife, Mary (Charlize Theron), believes Hancock can not be fixed, and she doesnt want Ray to be hurt.


3. JAANE TU YA JAANE NA
Its a really good movie. One of the few hindi movies i liked.... The concept is just okay, i guess i liked the movie a lot only because all the actors are so cute. They're all fresh faces, except the lead female, who i've seen in a few other movies. Its about the two (blue tee and green tee in the pic) falling in love, or i should say realising that they are in love. The best thing about bollywood movies is that you get stupid jokes which you laugh about even after the movie is over.. Sohail Khan and Arbaz Khan have a guest appearance in the movie. The lead male is a Rajput's descendant. So his dead father's dream is for him to become a true Rajput or w/e and for that he should beat up a person, go to jail and ride a horse. When he does all these, his dead father is dancing in the picture hung on the wall....which is sooo bloody funny. Worth the watch, really.... i'd just give it like 7 stars. Don't go by what newspapers say. Its quite good....
