Chinatown: The Best Movie of All Times?

The suave, "neo-noir", with an Oscar-winning script by Robert Towne and a superlative performance by Nicholson as detective JJ Gittes, was voted into first place by a panel of Guardian and Observer critics.

But what is it about ‘Chinatown’ that makes it so special?

Roman Polanski's CHINATOWN is a visually lavish trip back into the hardboiled detective genre. The gorgeous costumes and harsh lighting help to capture the seediness lurking behind legitimate society in 1930s Los Angeles. The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences recognized the film with Oscar nominations in major performance, design, and technical categories. Robert Towne (Shampoo, Mission: Impossible) ultimately brought home the Academy Award for his original screenplay. (The writing process had been a contentious one, as Towne had originally planned for a happy ending.)

The movie revolves around a private detective named Gittes, who specializes in breaking marriages. Gittes’ involvement begins with an adultery case. He’s visited by a woman who claims to be the wife of a man named Mulwray. She says her husband is cheating on her. Gittes’ investigation leads him to Mulwray (Darrell Zwerling), to city hearings, to dried river beds and eventually to Mulwray’s drowned body and to the real Mrs. Mulwray (Faye Dunaway). Stumbling across murders, lies and adulteries, he senses some larger reality beneath everything, some conspiracy involving people and motives unknown.

This crime is eventually revealed as an attempt to buy up the San Fernando Valley cheaply by diverting water so that its orange growers go broke. Then that water and more water, obtained through bribery and corruption, will turn the valley green and create wealth. The valley has long been seen as a key to California fortunes: I remember Joel McCrea telling me that on his first day as a movie actor, Will Rogers offered two words of advice: “Buy land.” McCrea bought in the valley and died a rich man, but he was in the second wave of speculation.

Boy, Jack Nicholson is a class act. He may have won an Oscar for his performance in 1975's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, but his turn as a fast-talking gumshoe the previous year in Roman Polanski's searing noir-pastiche Chinatown was, if anything, even better.

Megan Fox to guest star as a new girl on 'New Girl' sitcom

The gorgeous actress will play a role of a pharmaceutical sales rep who shakes things up in the loft by renting out the room of Jess (series star Zooey Deschanel) while she is sequestered on jury duty. Fox will make her first appearance in the sixth episode of the upcoming fifth season, scheduled to premiere in January on the Fox network.

Well we all have seen the actress turning the heat up in ‘teenage mutant ninja turtles’ and ‘transformers’, lets see how she ups the oopmph quotient of the popular tv series of which I personally is not a fan of but is planning to watch to watch Megan play a sales rep.

Terminator genesyis- WTF!!!!

Terminator genisys ... I can only say ,why? … a complete downgrading  the franchise in my eyes . frankly speaking , I didn’t have much expectation from this latest installation but this was disappointing for even me .

Acting has never been Arnold’s forte, but this time he sucks more than ever, thanks to the boring and snail slow storyline and unnecessary vfx.

Emilia Clarke does manage to grab few eyeballs with her acting but not to much help.

Well the plot goes like , in 2029, human resistance leader John connor(Jason Clarke) launches final attack on skynet. Before they could destruct the time machine ,skynet sends T-800 back in time to kill john’s mother. The T-800 arrives in 1984 Los Angeles but is killed by Sarah and "The Guardian" (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a reprogrammed T-800 (Model 101). Shortly after, Kyle is rescued from a T-1000 (Lee Byung-hun) by Sarah and The Guardian. Kyle learns that the original timeline has been altered. The T-1000 tracks the trio to a sewer where Sarah and The Guardian disintegrates it with acid. Movie goes on sucking for more than 2 hrs.

Note the quote :

·         ‘I'm not a man, not a machine... I'm more!

·         ‘You're nothing but a relic’

·         ‘I look at each of you and I see the marks of this long and terrible war. If we die tonight, man kind dies with us’

Who can watch it: if you are a  Arnold fan ,then who can stop you.

Who cannot watch it : weak script ,weak acting , you need more reasons?

Nicolas cage as superman

Nicolas cage as what? ... that was my exact reaction when i first saw these pics. I was like ,what’s that , is it a bird , is it a plane , no it’s Nicolas cage.

On Friday, never seen before footage of failed (thank god) superman film, superman lives was unearthed.                                          

 Cage (that’s how I call him) can be spotted wearing skin tight superman costumes in the pics.

 The costumes seems  pretty similar to those of Henry cavil  from Man of steel.

 ‘The death of superman lives : what happened’ documentary will be released on july 9.
