Music and lyrics - star 3/5- A 80's pop singer while trying get again into the current music market, plans to make a very good song. He searches for lyrics of the song but doesn't get satisfied with the ones he get. As he is practicing the piano, his house keeper (Drew Barrymore) just simply lets out two lines to fit in the piano music. He gets impressed and presses her to write the lyrics for his song. Then they slowly they fall in love, then fall in fight and follows many things. The movie is okay, songs are good also, Drew Barrymore is super cute.

Fracture - star 3/5 - Took this one for Anthony Hopkins. Its about a murder mystery. Anthony Hopkins kills his wife for infidelity and intelligently manipulates to win the case. The hero desperately works to prove the truth but Hopkins being very cunning corners hero to the level of losing his job. Good acting by both of them.

nacho libre - star 2/5 - Its a comedy done by Jack Black. He is a priest in a monastery and tries to become a wrestling champion. The orphanage in the monastery needs money to feed kids, so without the knowledge of superiors he goes to wrestling competitions where they pay to get whack up in the ring. Soon his superiors find out his outings and throws him out of the monastery. But still the orphans support him in the sport and he struggles to fight it out.

Sweeney todd - star 2/5 - Had some expectation on this movie due to Johnny depp, but got frustrated. The movie is a gory musical. Even though the acting of Johnny depp, direction, settings are very good, the too much gore makes the movie dark.

Ratatouille - star 3/5 - Its an animation movie. A rat likes quality food, tries to learn cooking. But his father discourages him and asks him to be like other rats. Our hero rat follows his heart, gets out of his rat community, goes to the city. Fortunately he meets a boy who after loosing his mother desperately searches for a job. They work together and find cooking job in a restaurant. Our hero sits on top of the boy's head who covers it with the chefs cap and instructs him to do the recipes. The restaurant becomes very famous because of the high quality tasty cooking. The story then twists and ends in a nice way.

Little miss sunshine - star 3/5 - Its a drama with a comedy touch. Story about an average American family. Evey body are a different peculiar character of their own. The Dad is a motivational speaker and always speaks of never giving up, boosting moral and every thing but looses in a lot of things. Son is a crack pot who aims to join air force and doesn't talk much. Grand pa is a playboy, reading porn and talking about it to his grand children. Mum is the only sanely character who runs the family wisely and pulls the strings together. Last character is our little miss sunshine, she is about 10 years old, fat and plumpy trying to get into fashion modeling. Actually the whole story revolves around how the family struggles in taking our little heroine to a fashion competition. In doing so, some has to sacrifices some of their things and some has to defend for their family. At the end you'll definitely laugh, its very funny.

The End,
