About Nemo

Nemo is the typical movie buff. Well, he hates popcorn though! He watches every kind of movies, in languages he can understand, some he cant. His tastes in movies can only be matched by his diversity. He flows with the film. Get scared in horror ones, tear up in tragedies, and laugh his ass off in comedies. He can give you killer reviews and he doesn't miss many, so you are in for a treat! By Dory

Imdb link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0332280/

Genre:Drama,Romance

Cast:Ryan Gosling,Tim Ivey,Rachel McAdams,Starletta DuPois and James Garner.

Tagline : Behind every great love is a great story.

Review :Notebook is an epic love story. Nothing flamboyant or charismatic. Just a story of a boy who loves a girl.
The film begins with Duke, an old man in a rest house, who comes to read out to an old lady, who apparently has dymentia. As the story progresses, we see duke's warm feelings and friendship and extreme patience with the old lady, who does not even remember him. Duke's notebook from which he reads to her says the story of a teenager, Noah, in 1940s, who meets a rich girl(Allie) during a summer and falls in love with her at first sight. He later makes her fall for him through his sheer grit, persuasion and true love. During the blissful summer, they realise that their love is not a passing crush, which Allie's parents doesn't. The story progresses through their forced break up and their separate lives. Later on we see noah's steady determination to bring her back to him without even talking to her once. and she comes to find him, at the doorstep of her fancy wedding.The question is, will she leave her perfect life and perfect fiance for a country unglamourous life with noah? Howmuch would you go for the love of your life? Above all, why is this old man reading this story to an old lady with dymentia?
Find out one man's love that overcomes anything life throws at him.

Favorite scenes:

1.Of course THE kiss. It sure won the best kiss award in mtv movie awards.
2.The innocence of allie when she asks noah to talk her through sex.

MY TAKE :

I had read the book, so i HAD to see the film. And it doesn't disappoint. Nice casting and absolute fine performances. Dialogues are love. Check them out too.
Tell me if you haven't cried in the last parts. And girls, tell me even once you have not wished for Noah. then i'd say, you've to be kidding me. :D

Rating:3.5/5 *A must for people who love the idea of love*

Marley & Me (2008)

This Burp Was About: , ,

Imdb link:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0822832/

Genre:Comedy,Romance,Drama

Cast:Owen Wilson,Jennifer Aniston,Eric Dane,Kathleen Turner and Haley Bennett.

Review:Its a story about a lovely couple John Grogan(Owen) and Jennifer Grogan(Aniston) and their dog (Marley).The story starts when John and Jenny relocate to South Florida from Michigan and decide to adopt a dog rather than having kids right away, given their busy jobs at daily newspapers. But instead of a peaceful pet they end up with Marley, a dog who will eat anything, cries nonstop during thunderstorms, and grows into a giant lab who yanks the both of them along on the leash.John's friend Sebastian (Eric Dane) uses Marley as a chick magnet, while John and Jen suffer through failed obedience lessons, endless shredded sofas, and a long series of public misadventures that begin with the dog hightailing away from his owners.
The film gradually goes on with the story of good times,fun time,bad time,play time of a family and the lovely dog marley finally leading to a sad climax.

I loved the movie,as a dog lover and i have two dogs of my own i can relate myself to the couple at parts.Marley is absolutely a gem of a dog and a very adorable one.Not even for a sec i removed my eyes from screen when Marley is in screen.Surely this movie is for those looking to evoke their own fond dog memories and spend some hours being moderately entertained.

Rating 3/5 *Dog lovers go for it*

If Only (2004)

This Burp Was About: , ,

Imdb link : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0332136/

Genre : Romance,drama,fantasy.

Cast:Jennifer Love Hewitt,Paul Nicholls,Tom Wilkinson,Diana Hardcastle and Lucy Davenport

Review:His love for her forced fate to change
Director Gil Junger's If only is a story about a couple Samantha Andrews(Jennifer) and Ian Wyndham(paul).They were never happy in a relationship and always had a fight (and nearly broke up)from time to times until one day Samantha, dies in an accident.That left Ian heartbroken and he realizes what he had, but of course it’s too late to make amends.But by grace of god(or the taxi driver -Tom Wilkinson) or may be some miracle when he wakes up the next morning, Samantha is alive again.And strangely except Ian no one remembers about her death.The film then revolves around Ian and Samantha where Ian tries to battles confusion, followed by realization, becomes lost in desperation, and finally discovers acceptance of what’s happened, and will happen.
The ending part will leave you speechless.

I think this is the best romantic movie i have ever seen.This was a movie with a message, which sets u into deep thinking about life. Awesome.

Ranking:3.5/5 *Treat to Rom-com watchers*
