John Malkovich is incomparable when it comes to taming one’s temper; he can hardly control it. John plays the character of Buck Howard and he topped the guest list of Johnny Carson and was eventually deleted from the list. But that does not stop him from executing his magic skills. He performs at small towns on a smaller stage with the same spirit and grandeur.

Film: The Great Buck Howard
Cast: John Malkovich, Colin Hanks, Emily Blunt, Griffin Dunne, Steve Zahn, Ricky Jay
Writer: Sean McGinly
Director: Sean McGinly
Running time: 1 hour and 30 minutes
Rating: 3.5/5

He enthrals the audience at Akron with his splendid magical performance. And he never forgets to announce that he loves the place and the people, which moved him to popularity. Not only that, his performance fee is give to one among the audience and he employs his magical skills to find out the person and he seldom fails. No one is able to discover the mystery behind his powers.

Carson bestowed upon Buck Howard with “The Great” and Buck uses the title with great pomp and dignity. He sports the title even in front of his newly appointed road manager Troy (Colin Hanks). Buck is totally self-involved and indicates that he truly loves the people of that town and it is not necessarily an attempt to put up a show.

The movie “The Great Buck Howard” is actually Troy’s perspective of Buck Howard. Troy’s father (Tom Hanks) wants him to study law but Troy has a different aspiration. He wants to enter the show biz and acquire fame. He got the scent of this field with his new job as Buck’s manager. Though he never tries to discover Buck’s deceptive looks nor does the audience get a glimpse of it. And Troy is a new learner and gets to know little details of the field from Valerie (Emily Blunt) PR appointed by Buck in Cincinnati.

Troy conceives Buck as an enigmatic personality. Buck is never erased from people’s memory. He performs at small rooms with great comfort and same zeal. Buck attends shows organised by Regis Philbin, Kelly Repa, John Stewart and Martha Stewart. Buck’s manager Gil played by Ricky Jay organises a show at Las Vegas.

The story takes off from here as to what happens on the show and it also gives an insight into the show biz. People in the show wonder how he succeeds in finding out the right person with the money; they look into several probabilities. When Buck learns about this curiosity of the audience he invites two doctors to inspect and you will have to watch the movie to find out what happens next!

Troy is never able to know the inside or the true nature of Buck nor does the audience figure out what he is. The movie is cleverly written and well directed by Sean McGinly. Colin Hanks has portrayed the role of an ever-fascinated guy by Buck and Malkovich is superb. It is well-crafted movie that is fun to watch and it also gives a perspective of the show biz through the characters of Troy and Howard Buck.

“The Great Howard Buck” is a worth a watch. The film is rated as one to watch under parental guidance for the language that include some suggestive and a reference to drug.

The movie Sunshine Cleaning lacks the sheen and it is actually meant to portray dark comedy but fails to bring even a smile on your face. Rose played by Amy Adams is a single parent who is stuck in a major financial crisis and has an affair with a high school boy friend who is already married to someone else.

Film: Sunshine Cleaning
Cast: Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, Alan Arkin, Jason Spevack, Steve Zahn
Director: Christine Jeffs
Writer: Megan Holly
Running time: 1 hour and 42 minutes
Rating: 2.5/5

Her sister Norah is a goofball lover and her son is notorious at school. She chooses to do a job of cleaning the dirt at the crime scene. Now, this does not sound bright at any stretch of your imagination.

Rose plays an adorable mother who understands Oscar, her 7-year old son. Oscar is actually not disturbed with the situations at home but he is just a little hyperactive and sometimes he lands in trouble for some boyish tantrum. But whatever be the reason, mama Rose is always by his side. And you have Steve Zahn who plays Mac; you would wonder why she has an affair with a guy who took her for a ride and later dumped her to get married to someone else.

Actually she introspects herself with the same question! Here is the probable answer-he gets her a job. Mac is a cop by profession and he learns that people who clean up the mess at the crime scene fetch quite a lot of money and so he sees a business prospectus for the job.

Rose and her sister Norah choose to do the job and start the Sunshine Cleaning. Their job is to clear out the mess in a rather gruesome crime scene; they clean the rugs, walls and remove human debris. And that definitely will not tickle any of your funny bones. The job gives an insight into people’s lives after the death of somebody, during one such incident an ID card in a dead woman’s kitty compels Rose and Norah to make a friend.

When you are about to think there is some meaningful concept emerging the movie leaves you frustrated because it makes an attempt to invoke comedy when in real there is hardly anything to laugh about. It leaves a big question in your mind as to how can you feel pleasant about a movie that revolves around cleaning up the mess of a dead person. The movie suffers with the plot; at one stage the audience may feel they forgot what the film was all about.

The movie has one brownie point though; it is that of Winston played by Clifton Collins Jr.-he owns a hardware shop and takes care of Oscar when his mom is away. He offers some solace in the movie. Amy and Emily Blunt as Norah have done justice to the role but they would certainly be better if it was a different movie. Alan Arkin plays their father Joe and has executed a remarkable performance. Apart from this, the film does not offer anything exciting. It leaves you looking for more when there is nothing left and that could be quite upsetting.

Sunshine Cleaning is rated as R for some images use of language and some sexuality and use of drugs.

A UFO expert enlists the help of a cabbie to protect two siblings with paranormal powers from the clutches of an organization that wants to use the kids for their nefarious plans. The Starcast in the movie are Dwayne Johnson , AnnaSophia Robb, Alexander Ludwig, Carla Gugino, Tom Everett Scott, Garry Marshall, Ike Eisenmann, Paul Darnell, Bob Koherr, Chris Marquette.

The movie ‘I’m All Good’ highlights the deep humor, which is so unique and characteristic of Czech comedies. The characters are peculiar whose main occupation to survive seems to be gulping beer, playing cards and trying their luck in romantic feats. To simply say, they are a happy-go-lucky group of jobless beer guzzlers.

Rating: 3/5
Director: Jan Hrebejk
Writer: Petr Jarchovský
Cast: Jirí Schmitzer, Boleslav Polívka, Lenka Vlasáková, Miroslav Vladyka, Josef Somr, Vladimír Javorský
Film Duration: 1hr 42minutes

Although the characters are weird they cannot be termed shrewd. Mr. Mrklas (Boleslav Polívka) who plays a retired magician stands out from rest of the characters for his portrayal of canny behavior.

Mr. Mrklas resides in a plush house in Prague and the other characters gather on a boat that sails on the Vltava River and takes them around the city. The bunch of friends thus while away the entire day on the deck.

Kaja (Miroslav Vladyka) who sports a constant perplexed look claims to have amassed some amount of wealth by playing cards, by pretending to be chimney sweeper in marriage halls and also posing as a lucky charm in the snaps of newly wed couples! Kaja promises his wife Andula (Lenka Vlasáková) a beach holiday, meanwhile loses all his savings in a shell game. This loss puts him in trouble at home. Out of sheer desperation, he approaches Mr. Mrklas who could get back the little fortune with his magic skills.

The plot of the movie revolves around these interesting and humorous comic moments. The movie exudes a pleasing caper plot, where Mr. Mrklas employs amazing tricks and manipulates the entire gambling game to avenge and regain the lost money from the con artists. This plot of the movie is not revealed in haste, but is in fact disclosed with a dash of humor that is so common in Czech comedies. The movie focuses on a group of friends with no age limit and who are nothing but idle boozers.

‘I’m All Good’ does not follow the conventional way running along the plot, and the movie goes awry while dealing with some comic moments of the movie. The fishing accident, the strange peep show at the sale, as well as the confusion caused due to the wrong police uniforms are all good instances of lack of comic timing. It is better to watch the movie with a continuous smile on your face rather than sitting through its entirety with intermittent few laughter roars.

The director of the movie Jan Hrebejk and the writer Petr Jarchovský have done two movies together “Up and Down” and “Beauty in Trouble”, these two movies are also very similar to the treatment of characters that feature the working class of society and usually involving petty offences that does not land them into any kind of legal trouble, and additionally, they also face the hardships of love.

To really get a feel of the characters from an Hrebejk movie, you need to visit Czech Republic once, walk around unnoticed on the houseboats and give the people around a pleasing smile. In case you are feeling rich, check out some ‘club’ and gamble. The movie does not give you an out-and-out laughter ride but will surely tickle your laughter bone every now and then.

Friendless Peter Klaven (Rudd) goes on a series of man-dates to find a Best Man for his wedding.

The Star Cast in the movie are Nicholas D’Agosto, Eric Christian Olsen, Sarah Roemer , Molly Sims, Danneel Harris, David Walton, Juliette Goglia, Philip Baker Hall, John Michael Higgins, Smith Cho, Margo Harshman, Hayley Marie Norman, Jake Sandvig .

Is there any film more cute than those featuring dogs that lead their masters in a hard and complicated life? Probably not. It is this proven formula that decides to take “Marley & Me.” Why break your head this time of year?

Rating: 2.5/5
Cast: Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston, Eric Dane, Kathleen Turner, Alan Arkin, Nathan Gamble, Haley Bennett, Clarke Peters
Directed By: David Frankel

John Grogan (Owen Wilson) and Jenny (Jennifer Aniston) just get married. To avoid the row, stable employment, the house in the suburbs and children cavort everywhere, Mr. journalist offers his new wife a small Labrador responding on the behalf of Marley. He quickly becomes intolerable, destroying everything in its path and screaming to death at the slightest rumble of thunder. This new family member does not prevent Grogan to join a daily increasingly repetitive and stupefying that does not seem to please everyone.

This adaptation of the bestselling novel by a certain John Grogan (what a big coincidence) does not shine by its originality. Directed anonymously with evident expertise by David Frankel (”The Devil Wears Prada”), the story is split into two parts. The most interesting however is the least developed. There’s this couple to drift, this family that implodes from the inside and the male character who seeks to escape the treadmill of everyday life. It does not escape the powder as in “great departure” and other films of this kind. He multiplies the efforts in trying to change his fate, some more dramatic is almost completely evacuated, entertainment Christmas oblige.

The lion’s share is rather the dog too sympathetic and touching, a real tornado to make jealous “Beethoven” and “Beverly Hills Chihuahua.” Everything revolves around the handsome blond Labrador and it is not surprising that his game eclipse those of its human partners. In addition to the canine friend, Owen Wilson actually tons and Jennifer Aniston is also turned on a rock. Fortunately, there is Eric Dane in single friend who brings humor, and the always tasty Alan Arkin playing the unpredictable boss.

Marley covers the subject so that the strings are guessing miles in advance. It’s a dog’s life with a beautiful youth, a successful transition to adulthood and, inevitably, a sad end. The perfect opportunity to get out the violins, unleash emotions, to preach to children and sink even more deeply dependent on the importance of a stable family with a big house, children and a four being legs. The American dream, isn’t it?

The exercise is not yet too savored of reluctant. With the Labrador that would melt any sensitive heart. With such a look, no need for a scenario. And it is precisely the case of “Marley & Me” which, instead of using the animal with charm like the irresistible “The Truth about Cats & Dog,” applies in the first degree. Hoping that the episode of “101 Dalmatians” is not repeated. After the success this opus in 1996, sales of dogs have increased during the holiday season… while the best friends of man were returning to the facility earlier this year!
