...- Ludlow THE FILM When 'The Aviator', directed by Martin Scorsese, was fist released in 2004 I quite fancied watching it but just never got round to doing so. While ordering some books from Amazon I looked up the DVD and as it was only £1, I added it to my order. In retrospect - I'm glad that it was only £1!! The story follows around twenty tears in the life of the infamous, eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes from his making of his epic ...

Titanic - An Extraordinary Movie!!

Advantages: Action, Romance, Eloborative Sets, Music
Disadvantages: Nudity unfit for children

Since the time I was in my eighth grade I had a fascination to gather as much information as possible regarding the ship Titanic. This was because; we had a lesson by the name 'Loss of Titanic' in our English course curriculum. I still remember the picture given in the text book 'The Radiant Reader' where the ship was shown sinking with lot of smoke emanating from the Chimney! It is really difficult to say why I got attracted to this giant ship Titanic ...
...the skill of the author or the skill of our English teacher or/and the combination of the both ! There after with the age I have started gathering information about this ship from various sources including the Encyclopedia. Collecting the information about the Titanic and discussing about it has become a hobby for me! I used to feel great when people used to appreciate my know-how about the Titanic. So one can understand how I must have felt to come ...

Problems in paradise

...will like his 2000 film, The Beach, which seems him work again with producer Andrew Macdonald and writer John Hodge. The Beach is about a young American backpacker Richard (Leonardo DiCaprio), who is looking for something totally different experiences from his normal day to day life. He meets a weird stranger, Daffy (Robert Carlyle), in Thailand, who claims to be a former native of a rumoured paradise island, inhabited by wayward travellers. Daffy ...

Review of Catch Me If You Can (DVD)

My only love sprung from my only hate.

Advantages: Amazing adaptation of the classic
Disadvantages: None!

...Juliet is a Capulet and Romeo a Montague, so when they fall in love it is forbidden and therefore kept secret. The couple wed, however the escalating fued between the two families threatens to tear them apart, yet the tragic ending actually ends up bringing the fued to an end. The couple are dubbed 'star crossed lovers' by Shakespeare. Whilst the original play is set in Elizabeathen times, Luhrman propels the story into modern day times, setting ...
...is used, providing a stark contrast between the period in which the play was written and the modern day. For example whilst they refer to swords in the dialogue, guns are used in the film. Yet the dialogue never once seems out of place in the film, instead it fits perfectly which is a testament to Shapespeare's durability! The movie stars Claire Danes as Juliet and Leonardo DiCaprio as Romeo. Both play the parts well, although I think that Danes ...
