Synopsis: When David (Mark Buffalo) sublets his quaint San Francisco apartment, the last thing he expects - or wants - is a roommate. He begins to make a complete mess of the place when a pretty young woman, named Elizabeth (Reese Witherspoon), suddenly shows up, adamantly insisting the apartment is hers. David assumes that there's been a giant misunderstanding, until Elizabeth disappears just as mysteriously as she had appeared. Changing the locks does nothing to deter Elizabeth, who begins to appear and disappear at will - mostly to rebuke David for his personal living habits in her apartment. Convinced that she is a ghost, David tries to help Elizabeth cross over to the "other side." But while Elizabeth has discovered she does have a distinctly ethereal quality - she can walk through walls - she is equally convinced that she is somehow still alive and isn't crossing over anywhere. As Elizabeth and David search for the truth about who Elizabeth is and how she came to be in her present state, their relationship deepens into love. Unfortunately, they have very little time before their prospects for a future together permanently fade away.

My Review: Well, to be frank this movie was seen only for the sake of the beautiful & cute Reese Witherspoon. But was I in for a surprise as this mushy movie totally captivated my mind emotionally. Just Like Heaven shows what destiny is all about; that you've come into this world for a reason; that reason is to find your true soulmate; and how circumstances lead you into the right path of your fate. Mark Buffalo has acted really well; the poor sympathetic kind of guy who's lost a lot in life & is now tryin to adjust into reality. On the other hand, Reese is this worhaholic girl next door who's only thing in life is her job. The way these two meet & fall in love is just so touching. A perfect movie to enjoy with your significant other!

Synopsis: Olduvai Research Station is a remote scientific facility on Mars where something has gone terribly wrong. All experiments have ceased, and communication has failed. The few messages that do get through are less than comforting. It's Level 5 Quarantine, and the only souls allowed in or out are the Rapid Response Tactical Squad (RRTS) - hardened Marines armed to the teeth with enough firepower to neutralize any enemy - or so they think. The researchers at this Red Planet station have unwittingly opened a door, and all hell has broken loose. A legion of nightmarish creatures of unknown origin lurks in every corner and stalks the countless rooms and tunnels of the facility, killing what few people remain. A hellish zoo of demons, Imps, Barons and Hell Knights has taken over Olduvai. And they're not giving it back without a fight. Sealing off the portal to Earth, Sarge (Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson), Reaper (Karl Urban) and their mercenary team must use every weapon at their disposal - and some they find along the way - to carry out their orders: nothing gets out alive. Unfortunately, these things never go as planned.

My Review: Saw it first day first show and the goregasm & action rocked! Things move on very slowly during the first half of the movie, but the main juicy part begins after the interval... For all those who have played the game Doom, will be taken aback by the first person perspective action... it is just too good... highlights the whole movie... the way Reaper moves with his gun shooting anything & everything that comes in his way... and the best part of this is when he wrestles a bullish monster with a chainsaw! And yeah, Rock, he's a perfect action hero after Arnold for sure. But he's not the one who comes out alive! Coming to the actress, Rosamund Pike is like so indifferent and calm thoughout the movie... makes you wonder what's going on inside her head... but she's damn hot! All those who are fanatics of Rock or the game, I'd suggest its a must-see!
