YES MAN: SAY YES WHEN YOUR HEART TELLS YOU TO!!

Hello my dear readers!!!

This week I want to talk to you about a movie named "Yes Man" which stars Jim Carrey. At first, I thought it was one of the movies that you go, watch, laugh and then forget about the other day. However, as I try to get a message out of every movie, later on I understood that this movie bore a message of its own, too. Jim Carrey is the most significant element that makes the movie good. Besides him, the cast also includes Terrence Stamp and Zooey Deschanel. The movie is adapted from a book of the same name by British humourist Danny Wallace. The movie was directed by Peyton Reed.

Carl Allen (Jim Carrey) is a man who is going through depression after divorcing from his wife. Although his friends are eager to help him, he always ignores them and their requests. One day, he forgets his best friend Pete's engagement party. After that, he bumps into Nick, a friend of his, and he convinces Carl to go to an inspirational seminar in which a sort of guru named Terrence Bundley (Terrence Stamp) tells people to say "Yes" to everything. After going to the seminar, Carl starts to say "Yes" to everything not to break the rules of a deal he made with Terrence. At the beginning, everything goes perfectly and Carl manages to put his life in order but later, things start to go badly like before. At this point, he understands what Terrence really meant by saying "Yes" to everything. This way, he finds happiness which he has been longing for.

In short, if you like movies which make you laugh and make you think about your own life at the same time; you should go see this one, you will like it!

TRANSPORTER 3: FRANK MARTIN IS BACK!


Hello everybody!
This week I will be telling you guys about a pretty recent action movie that you'll all love to hear: Transporter 3. The movie is the third movie of the Transporter series and the movie stars Jason Statham as Frank Martin, as usual. The movie is directed by Olivier Megaton and it is written by Luc Besson.

In this movie of the series, Frank's mission is to transport a girl named Valentina (Natalya Rudakova), the kidnapped daughter of a Ukrainian minister, to Odessa. The mission is given to Frank by an American businessman and there is no escape out of this mission because there is a device attached to Frank's wrist which will make him and the car explode in case he goes 30 meters from his car. During the journey, Frank needs to overcome the people who force him to accomplish the mission and also the men sent by the minister. While trying to get over all these people, neither Valentina nor Frank can help falling in love with each other.

Frank Martin again drives an Audi A8 W12 in the movie. The movie was mainly shot in France, Russia and Ukraine. The movie grossed $54 million up to now in the world, being the second-highest grossing film of the series.

In conclusion, if you liked the first two movies of the series, watch this one too, you will probably like it!

Here is the trailer of the movie:

Hello my dear readers!!

The end of 2008 finally came and starting from last night, we are officially in the year 2009. First of all, I hope 2008 was a happy and healthy year for all of us, and I hope 2009 will also be so and of course a year full of great movies!

Anyway, since we ended 2008, today, I want to share a list with you guys about the best movies of 2008. The list was published by the Time magazine as a part of "The Top Ten Everything of 2008".

1-Wall-E
2-Synecdoche,New York
3-My Winnipeg
4-4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days
5-Milk
6-The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
7-Slumdog Millionaire

10-Encounters at the End of the World

Although there are many movies that probably you guys and I are not familiar with (I watched only Iron Man from this list) in the list, without doubt, Time is a reliable magazine and they surely have a good reason to believe that these are very well-made movies. So, I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to watch some of them...
