The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

The Devil Wears Prada, is a movie adaptation of a novel written by Lauren Weisberg's released in 2006. Stars Anne Hathaway in the role of Andrea Sachs, a college graduate who goes to New York City to get a job and luckily lands a job as a co-assistant to infamous editor-in-chief of fashion magazine Runway, Miranda Priestly played by Meryl Streep. Also, Emily Blunt plays a role of the bossy and bitchy co-assistant Emily Charlton to Andrea and Stanley Tucci plays the role of Art Director of the magazine and right hand of Miranda, Nigel. 

The movie has proved to be a success, as could be seen form the fact that it became a box-office hit after its release in North American theatres. The sales grossed over $300 million dollars, of which most came from international sales. The film was shoot both in New York and Paris with a budget of $35 million between October and December of 2005.  So, the plot of the movie starts as the freshly graduate from college, Andrea or Andy lands a job in the fashion magazine, even though she had no interest in the fashion industry before landing her job.  However, from the first day of her work, Andrea realises that it is not what she imagined it to be. Her boss, Miranda known for unrealistic demands evreryday and strict persona, lets her know that everything that goes there is her way or only hers. However, as days pass her relationships with her college friends and her boyfriend also suffers, leaving Andrea devastated. And if you know how the story goes along and the pleasant twist that the movie presents along the plot, then go head and watch the movie, I am sure you won't be dissapointed.

The costumes that the cast of the movie was of high importance, as the film was set in the fashion industry and there were even rumors at the time of release that the story of the movie was based on U.S. Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who is a big name in the industry and known for her chic and mysterious persona. The movie is also considered as one of the most expensively costumed movies in the history of movie industry.  The stylist who worked for the movie said to believe that at least $1 million worth of clothing items were used to costume the characters of the movie.

 I guess I would recommend this movie to anyone interested in seeing a little glimpse of how people are in the fashion industry and what goes behind the scenes, the movie as critics say the movie does a good job in their depiction of the industry.

Here's the trailer, enjoy:

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008)

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is an adaptation of a novel by Irish writer John Boyne. The movie was first released in United States in 2008, as a  historical-drama film. The movie starring Asa Butterfield, Jack Scanlon, David Thewlis, Vera Farming, Amber Beattie and Rupert friend was dirtied by Mark Herman and produced by David Heyman. The movie is considered as a Holocaust drama. Holocaust referring to the mass murder of genocide of approximately six million Jews during World War II, a programme of systematic state-sponsored murder by Nazi Germany, led by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, throughout the German-occupied territories.

The movie tries to depict the horror of a World War II Nazi extermination camp through the eyes of two 8-year-old boys, one being the son of the camp's Nazi Commandant and the other being a Jewish inmate. There are a lot of bits of nuances in the movie, that you have to see yourself by watching the movie, thus, I would not like to spoil the movie by writing the rest of the plot.

The film have also received a good reception from movie critics and reviewers. 'The Times' refer erred as "hugely affecting film and important too" and 'The New York Times' referred to the movie as "the Holocaust trivialised, glossed over, kitsched up, commercially exploited and hijacked for a tragedy about a Nazi family". The movie have also received a number of awards from quite a few different honourable award ceremonies, like the 'Best European Film' from Premio Goya, 'Best International Film' from Irish Film and Television Award and  so on.

Perhaps, the movie might not be to everyone's taste, however, I would highly recommend this movie to movie-viewers who enjoys some emotional drama and a good child acting. If you had not much idea about that era and what happened to the children of both sides during that time,  I guess the movie will give you a good glimpse of the happenings during that time of history.

The Intouchables (2011)

In less than two months, "Untouchable" became the second most successful French film by number of spectators, such an event by itself that people went then to see it, not because they thought it was good but to see what was so good in it: that's the virtual circle of success.

My biggest disappointment in 2011 was with "The Tree of Life", a movie I sincerely wanted to love but couldn't, and I left the theatre before it ended with a bitter taste of frustration. Proportionally, my greatest positive surprise came with "Untouchable" because it was the opposite expectation: I was sure I would dislike it, figuring the movie manipulated viewers through the overused device of the improbable friendship. Why such preconceived negativity? Well, when a young black guy from French suburbs, darkly depicted in Mathieu Kassovitz 'Hate' and infamous for its occasional riots, befriends a rich quadriplegic, I immediately think of 'good feelings', 'mainstream populism' … unaware that I apply to myself a cynical judgment that can undermine my very way to enjoy not just this film, but any film. After all, why getting ready for hatred when it's so relieving to give the benefit of the doubt and get ready for appreciation? Especially since more than 15 million of French people, from different ages and backgrounds liked it.

So, I saw it … and loved it.

The story of "Untouchable" is the kind of unintentional masterpiece that only movies can provide every once in a while, it has no other pretension than to depict a magnificent and inspiring friendship story starting as a simple job. A young man with a Senegalese background, Omar Sy as Driss, only needs a signature to prove that he attended an interview for a live-in carer job. For some strange reason, Paul, the rich man, played by a wonderful François Cluzet, gives him the job, with a one-month trial period. The reason of this choice is smoothly handled by the script: the film starts with all the job applicants, every one of them unnaturally posing and getting mixed in prepared answers. Then, Driss casually enters, without waiting for his turn or knocking on the door, he's got enough problems to deal with, unemployment, an experience in jail, being a pariah for society, and undesirable even in his own family, especially her adoptive aunt. Driss' attitude pleases Paul, because after his paragliding accident, he can't feel his body from neck to toes, and needs caring almost 24 hours per days and 7 days per week, so he really doesn't have time for bullshit either.

And this is a remarkable aspect in the script written by the two directors Eric Toledano and Olivier Nakache: it doesn't waste time cementing the friendship, the two leads rapidly get fond of each other, a feeling illustrated in the poster with both posing with natural smiles. The film shows Omar's struggle to learn how 'needy' Paul is, which provides some priceless comedic moments, but "Untouchable" goes immediately to the core, an eye-opening message about the life endured by a handicapped person, making all the wealth in the world pointless and the richness of heart and mind, priceless. Through Driss and Paul's interaction, the film explores the real needs of people in life, respect and understanding, acceptance and love. Maybe if it was handled by other directors, it would have been predictable but in "Untouchable", the complicity between the two heroes feels absolutely real. There's one scene when Driss shave the bushy beard of Paul… well, I won't spoil it for you, but the part was a clever mix of realism and comedy because anyone would have done what Driss did at one moment, and that's the secret of the film: it feels real.

Some movies can work with a good story but they need good performances, in "Untouchable", it's almost impossible to determine who carried the film, both Cluzet and Sy were great. And I don't get the complaints: why they didn't respect the original story where the carer was an Arab, or how they 'sugar-coated' the handicap? I even heard that in America, they were accusing the film of racism because Driss was portrayed as a sort of (I quote) 'helper monkey'? Seriously, this is getting old …The way handicap is approached never flirts with an exaggerated pathos, nor the opposite, which is the most intelligent achievement. There's a sort of heart's intelligence in the way Omar teases Cluzet with his own handicap, and the film provides the extraordinary message that pleasure and thrills have unlimited media, whether they come from pot, an ear-massage or even paragliding.

Many of Paul's friends criticizes the presence of Driss in Paul's life, but Paul doesn't care: Omar is a man full of life, big, tall and strong, and when he uses violence to teach a man the respect of a parking sign, Paul admits this is the right method. Both are in the same wavelength. I wondered if the title "Untouchable" referred to the lowest caste in India, echoing the two men's conditions, both outcasts physically and socially, but I guess, their relationship evolves into a friendship precisely because they're both strong-minded, and together, they become even stronger, until getting untouchables ... in the noblest meaning of the word.

There are real people in "Untouchable", nothing works as plot devices even if some situations are so cinematically appealing: Omar inviting everybody to dance during Paul's birthday, his learning of the aristocratic world, the art of abstract painting, and the way he breaks the conventions with an unconventional charisma reaches a level of energetic comedy that reminds of the greatest days of Eddie Murphy, with Cluzet as a perfect straight-man not deprived from a sense of humour. "Untouchable" is simply an inspiring story of friendship with whatever defines this beautiful virtue.

And yes, it's one of the best French films ever, and certainly one of the best of 2011.

The Eye (2008)

The eye is a 2008 supernatural horror movie made in Hollywood. This movie is a remake from the Pang Brothers' 2002 film, also with the same name, The eye. This remake movie is 100% inspired by the original movie that is originally made in Hong Kong. This remake movie is directed by David Moreau and Xavier Palud and screenplay by Sebastian Gutierrez. This movie was distributed by Lionsgate and Paramount Vantage. Jessica alba, yes the famous jessica alba from fantastic four is starring this movie along with Parker Posey and Alessandro Nivola. The running time is quite long for horror movie, 98 minutes. The budget of this movie is quite high for 12 millions and reaching the gross budget for $56,964,642.

The plot of this movie is revolving aroun Sydney Wells (Jessica Alba) who is a successful classical violinist who has been blind since the age of five. Fifteen years later, Sydney undergoes a cornea transplant, which causes her eyesight to return. As time goes on with her new vision, she also begins experiencing terrifying visions, mostly of fire and people dying. The bulk of the rest of the film concerns Sydney unraveling the mystery of the visions, and trying to convince others, primaly her visual therapist, Paul Faulkner (Alessandro Nivola), who becomes a helpmate in her quest. She knows that she is not going insane.

She finds herself in Mexico, where the cornea donor was originally from. The images of fire and death are the result of an industrial accident that the donor foretold. The donor hung herself because she could not stopthe accident from occuring.Sydney puts the spirit to rest, and begins her trek home. As Sydney and Paul wait in a queue of vehicles to cross border, a high speed police chase ends with the fugitive crashing through the border barriers and into a tanker full of gasoline.

Sydney, able to still see the death silhouettes, begins to try to get everyone she can off the highway. The tanker explodes from a spark in the getaway car's engine, and Sydney is blinded by flying glass. After recovering at a hospital, she returns to her life as a blind violinist, though with a more optimistic "view" of her condition.

For me there is no remake movie that will ever beat the original one. It is so hard to capture the same horror and build up the same thrilling atmosphere. Eventhough, I, personally doubt Jessica Alba as the main actres for this horror movie but at the end she didn't really dissapoint me. I doubt Jessica Alba because she is not the kind of actress who i see playing in a horror movie and even worse, a remake movie. But after all for 98 minutes of horror movie it is quite entertaining and not as disappointing as i first thought. The movie itself also have a deep message other than the thrill itself, it gives a message about vision, how people can have different vision and capture it differently.

Since this is October, which means HALLOWEEN and if you guys run out of horror movie, then i recommend you to watch this movie.

Tips: watch the remake first then watch the original one. DO NOT DO IT THE OTHER WAY AROUND

Here is the official trailer for you guys:
