Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)

 

Title: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson,
Directed By: Chris Columbus
Running Time: 2hrs. 32 min
Genre: Fantasy | Adventure | Family


This is from where it all started. The anticipation for this movie was really high because the story book had already been a hit and there was too much pressure on the director and the cast to deliver. Also people were expecting to watch the same story, events and places.

The cast of the movie was almost perfect although we did feel that Danial Radcliffe had too much of a nerdy look but as the franchise evolved so did Radcliffe. The special effects were spot on the scenery was awesome. From the acting's point of view the younger inexperienced cast was a little disappointing but maybe we were expecting too much from them. It was difficult to summarize the whole book in 159 mins of screenplay but we think that the main events were pretty much covered. The most memorable part is the giant Troll fighting scene and the sight of Hogwarts.
The role of Dumbledore was beautifully played by the late Richard Harris, it was sad that he was alive only there for the first two parts. The film also stars with Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as Harry's best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.

Bye Bye Harry Potter

Wonder Boys (2000)

Title: Wonder Boys
Cast: Michael Douglas, Robert Downey Jr., Katie Holmes and Tobey Maguire
Directed By: Curtis Hanson
Running Time: 1hr. 07 min
Genre: Drama | Comedy | Writers

  

The movie title "Wonder Boys" gives little away about the story. No it is not a story of little boys playing football or genius orphans, the movie is about a struggling divorced writer professor who is struggling to find purpose in his writing and his love life and it is through his student that he finds it.

The main role is performed by Michael Douglas and my word what a performance. Although the movie did win an Oscar for Bob Dylan's song hopefully it would be remembered for Douglas's acting more than anything. If it were me i would have nominated Douglas for an Oscar for his acting. 

The star studded cast also includes Robert Downing Jr., who performs the role of a struggling gay editor/publisher, young and beautiful Katie Holmes and fresh face of Tobey Maguire.

A really nice movie to watch. Michael Douglas, hats off to you for truing down Katie Holmes moves on you and for your fine acting sir. Young Tobey played his part well and Robert Downing Jr. was amazing and funny as always.

A very good movie, M.A.D has no problem recommending it to you folks. TC enjoyyyyyyy. 

Continuing with the M.A.D culture, the recommendations for different mood genre are

Girls:  will enjoy it.

Sentimental Guys: Its for you guys too.

High on Testosterone Guys: You will kill me if i recommend it to you guys ....

Lonely Guys/Girls: Definitely for you people ....

Kids: ...May be some other day kids. ...

Title: Tristan + Isolde
Cast: James Franco, Sophia Myles, Rufus Sewell and Rufus Sewell
Directed By: Kevin Reynolds
Running Time: 1hr. 25 min
Genre: Action | Adventure | Drama

Hmm so young James Franco held the movie together otherwise it was a weak story. The Irish scenery was like a fresh breeze in the movie apart from that the director tried to arouse the emotions through the romantic scenes.

Continuing with the M A D culture, the recommendation for the different mood genre are

Girls = will love it....With young James Franco taking his shirt off who can blame them.

Sentimental Guys = Will like it too 

High on Testosterone Guys = Nah its not for u mates :)

Lonely Guys/Girls= Please dont ..... have some mercy on yourself.

Kids = ...Grow up

M A D Rating: 5.5
