Life of Pi

Amazing Indian movies. You know what would be nice though? if more Bollywood movies gained traction in America. There are some quality movies and also amazing actors that are over there. An example would be Laagan. Aight so I also saw Life of Pi and man it was amazing. It accurately depicts the the right of passage of every Indian boy to manhood. That is right,every Indian boy must get on a life boat with a life threatening animal. In my friends case, he went with an elephant. To check out his story visit http://ypoptrev.blogspot.com/  As an Indian myself, I was on a life boat with a hippo. It was pretty difficult to accomplish and I assure you that I will make a movie depicting how I survived on a life boat. It was pretty intense. If I get 20 or more followers on twitter (@recycle3D) I will write out the entire story, its pretty emotional.

Fight Club: A Classic



This was one of the greatest movies of all time. If you haven't seen it, don't bother reading this review. just go watch it. The plot is hilarious and really interesting. It shows how one small thing can start an entire movement. Edward Norton depicts the narrator, who has insomnia and is starting to lose his mind. So he meets Brad Pitt's character. Together, they start a social revolution by starting underground fight clubs. They create safe houses and start "Operation Mayhem". As the movie progresses, Norton's character tries to stop the rebellion from destroying portions of the city and Pitt's character magically disappears. I won't say how it ends but it is amazing and mind boggling.  All in all, this movie is a must see and everyone has to see it.

Zero Dark Thirty

This is an amazing movie that starts out in the early 2000's and continues till the the death of Usama Bin Laden, or UBL. Jessica Chastain is an amazing actress who depicts the struggles of Maya, the CIA agent responsible for the death the UBL. It starts with the detainee program after 9/11 and the CIA agent is interrogating Ammar, an Al-Qaeda member. After many years, she finally gets a lead and follows it feverishly till she successfully find Usama. Then she sends in the SEAL team and that by far is the best part of the movie.

The Actors Fund: A Great Cause



The Actors Fund is a great charity to donate to. They act as a safety net for all professionals in the entertainment industry who don't have employment and need opportunities to succeed. It is important for new actors and other entertainers to have opportunities, because the next big actor or entertainer could need the financial support to achieve true success. You guys don't have to donate to them but if you could spread the word it would mean a lot. It is necessary to help new actors make their way into the industry because eventually there will be a new set of amazing actors and all actors deserve the chance to be great. So spread the word and donate! Thank You.

Trailer Review: Olympus Has Fallen


This movie will be amazing. Gerad Butler is an amazing actor and the plot seems well thought out. This combined with Morgan Freeman will result in a mind blowing movie. Any movie with Morgan Freeman will be good.  Butler's character loses his job because he save the president instead of the first lady. So once there is a terrorist attack in the White House and Butler's character is the only person in the White House. So its Butler against 20-40 terrorist commandos. To conclude, Everyone should watch this movie.

Flight: Movie or PSA on planes?

This was an okay movie, Denzel was the only good actor in this movie. Denzel's character's name was Whip so that was a nice touch. The most interesting part of the movie was when Whip successfully crashed the plane without killing everyone. The rest of the movie was Denzel getting wasted and snorting coke. This movie is literally just watching a guy get drunk and yell about how his life sucks. All in all, I guess you should watch this if your bored and want to waste some time. The ending is pretty funny, when his lawyer pays for Whip to snort coke to compensate for being drunk. So to summarize this movie is basically about a plane crashing and the pilot doing many different drugs. Then they fast forward and all of sudden, Whip is a reformed man...... So this gets a solid 5-6/10.

Argo: Worth the Oscar?


Argo is an amazing movie that is about the Operation Argo that America carried out in 1979 where the Iranian people take over an American Embassy but 6 diplomats escape and these 6 are chased on a manhunt. So Tony Mendez comes up with the idea or producing a fake science fiction movie to go and and get the 6 Americans Diplomats out of Iran alive. After seeing this movie, I have to say it 100% deserved the Oscar for best picture. Ben Affleck did a great job acting, directing, and producing. Alan Arkin completely deserved best supporting actor, he was absolutely hilarious but I can't make the call considering I haven't seen Django Unchained. Also the the actors who played the 6 American Diplomats were amazing. The most memorable quote from this movie is: 

"Is the best bad idea you have? Yes sir, this is by far the best bad idea we have." 

All in all this movie gets 9/10 stars because some of the Farsi that is spoken is translated onto the screen so you get confused at times. Also, if you don'y pat attention to the plot you will get easily lost.
