Rating: PG-13
Genre: High School Comedy
SYNOPSIS: A high school wise guy is determined to have a day off from school, despite the attempts of his principal and younger sister to sabotage his good time.
BOTTOM LINE: Broderick reigns supreme as the king of slacker cool in Hughes' most blatantly fun teen comedy. Perhaps he's too good as the lovable loafer who makes the most of ditching school, as this role is the one that defined his burgeoning career. It's also a role that gave those of us on the high school fringe something to hope for. You see, Ferris is popular not because he has the most money or the fastest car. He's everybody's best friend because he's a friend to everybody. His irresistible charm comes from his inner self-confidence. Ferris could have been a cartoon character, but Broderick makes you believe that a teenager could actually BE happy with who they are. A rare and inspiring concept.
Winner of the Best Film on Mountain Sport and People’s Choice Award

The first big summer release of 2009 delivers big action, big special effects and big mutants. Unfortunately it doesn’t address some big questions. How are Wolverine and Sabertooth growing up as kids at the beginning of the film, but ageless after the first 20 minutes? How does adamantium change the shape and look of Wolverine’s claws? How many Twinkies did the Blob have to eat to get that big, that quick? And why, every time I say or hear ‘Wolverine”, do I think of Red Dawn. (Which I just learned is set to be remade next year.)
Look, the bottom line is this: if you love comic book movies, you’re going to love Wolverine. If you’re a comic book purist and pick apart every comic book movie, you’re going to be frustrated and complaining about the demise of the franchise. I loved the movie. I thought it was fun and had great pacing to the tension between story and action. It gives you just enough back story to make it worth telling. And it introduced some new (to the movie goer, not the comic reader) characters that were pretty awesome like the well played tough but mysterious Gambit (Taylor Kitsch, Friday Night Lights TV show), an interesting but too quickly disappearing Wraith (Will Am I of Black Eyed Peas band fame) and the makes-the-movie fun, wise-cracking Wade Wilson/Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds, Adventureland and Van Wilder). But overall it focuses on Wolverine (Hugh Jackman, X-Men 1,2 and 3, and Australia) and his brother/buddy/enemy Sabertooth (Liv Schreiber, Defiance). Here’s hoping that we get to see a future film with a lot more Gambit and Deadpool involved in the story. Wolverine and Sabertooth get top billing and do a great job carrying the movie. But Gambit and Deadpool give it the intrigue that gets a little lost as they focus on one hero.

Watch this 4-minute short film that won the Cannes 2008 online short film competition. Beautiful!
With a stroke of the pen, a stranger transforms the afternoon for another man in this short film by Alonso Alvarez.
This film is definitely worth watching and rightly so deserved to win the Golden Globe for best film.
I see elements of ‘Forrest Gump‘ in this film i.e. the fact that amazing coincidental events happen to the main character but in this case the main character is aware of them and not as special as Forrest.
The storyline (without giving too much away) is about a young man who is up to the penultimate question on ‘Who wants to be a millionaire?’ All the questions presented revolve around his extraordinary life and the the audience is made aware of how he knew the answer from earlier years. The last question is where the story comes full circle.
My two favorite scenes are the opening scene which is hilarious and the ending scene which could rival any half decent Bollywood offering.
