Synopsis: Joel (Jim Carrey) is stunned to discover that his girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet) has had the memories of their tumultuous relationship erased. Out of desperation, he contacts the inventor of the process, Dr. Howard Mierzwiak (Tom Wilkinson), to have Clementine removed from his own memory. But as Joel's memories progressively begin to disappear, he begins to discover their earlier passion. From deep within the recesses of his brain, Joel attempts to escape the procedure. As Dr. Mierzwiak and his crew chase him through the maze of his memories, its clear that Joel can't get Clementine out of his head.

My Review: This movie started off being really slow & dumb & I was expecting yet another cheesy sad love story. But things began changing dramatically when the movie started taking unpredictable turns almost every moment. Then comes the main theme - using science to erase memories of loved ones who you no longer wish to be with. I mean, the theme was intriguing & made the movie all the more interesting. Hats off to the direction & the acting. Both Kate Winslet & Kirsten Dunst were splendid. And Jim Carrey's veteran-acting to top it up. The point I don't understand is why would distributors release this movie after 2 years in India?

Synopsis: Lola (Lindsay Lohan), an egocentric teenager, feels that her life is simply not worth living when she moves away from New York City with her family. Losing every thing she loves and treasures, she is plunked down in New Jersey - what she believes to be a "cultural wasteland." How will this New York doll ever make it as a Jersey girl? Thrust into a suburban high school and determined to upset the established order, Lola sets out on a mission. Convinced that only she deserves to be the most popular girl in the school, Lola competes with another girl who is equally snobby, and who also believes that the school should revolve around her.

My Review: OK, I started watching this movie as a lame excuse not to study! And also Lindsay was one of the reasons I thought I should go watch this. And believe me, this movie being a major chick flick didn't disappoint me. This made me come to a conclusion that chick flicks ain't that bad. I mean if nothing, you get to watch all those babes in their daily tantrums & stuff. Its actually kinda good. Anyway this movie is all about how a teenage girl always desires to be with her one & only celebrity stereotype! That she'll do everything it takes to catch one glimpse of him.. yada yada... Go watch it!

Synopsis: In the small town of Antonio Bay, a terrifying and malevolent force hidden within a thick and deadly fog terrorizes the local residents. Shrouded by the mist is a ghastly mystery of merciless revenge, one that the town's inhabitants would do well to unravel - before its too late.

My Review: The major reason I didn't give this movie a major rating might have been because I had too much expectation out of this one? The storyline was interesting but the direction wasn't meant for a horror movie... I mean the special effects were amazing but the chill-down-the-spine feeling you get out of horror movies was completely absent! The only good part were the babes featured in the movie... Maggie Grace & Selma Blair (wish all radio jockeys could be like her)!
