Logan’s Run
Logan’s Run starts out pretty well – it’s visually eye-popping, with a miniature city that actually looks active in the establishing shots (in large part from the moving elevated trains). It works well close-up, too; what we see of the city looks like the center of a large shopping mall or a luxury hotel lobby, though not so much that the audience is completely aware of it. We get a feeling of what this world is like, the state of innocence and grace that its inhabitants live in, even as we’re shown that they don’t have the same values as the audience. The “carousel” sequence is remarkable, both for how it is staged and how it shows us how completely right dying at 30 seems for the people in this world.
And then the story starts and things go straight to heck. The powers that be give Logan information that might affect his loyalty just as he’s starting an undercover assignment, and one would really think they’d give instructions for Francis to make it look good rather than have him go off like a loose cannon and jeopardize that. The first encounter with the outside world is even more mind-bogglingly stupid, though after that it simply becomes tiresome. It turns out that all the film’s clever ideas were back in the city, and what’s left is simply having the characters come across as morons as they re-learn about the family unit and other twentieth-century ideas. The finale is also pretty ludicrous – sure, it’s a tradition that things will fail catastrophically at the least provocation, but that doesn’t make it a good idea.

We have the Documentary short list for the upcoming Oscars. Our friend Kristopher Tapley over at In Contention for the following hookup:
“At the Death House Door”
“The Betrayal (Nerakhoon)”
“Blessed Is the Match: The Life and Death of Hannah Senesh”
“Encounters at the End of the World”
“Fuel”
“The Garden”
“Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts”
“I.O.U.S.A.”
“In a Dream”
“Made in America”
“Man on Wire”
“Pray the Devil Back to Hell”
“Standard Operating Procedure”
“They Killed Sister Dorothy”
“Trouble the Water”
Of the above I have seen I.O.U.S.A. This means I need to hunt down the other 14 and check them out. I find the average documentary to be more interesting than the average film these days. Sadly it isn’t always easy to see these films if they aren’t playing in your city.
Ice Age: The Meltdown is a real joy with great jokes, the story moves very quickly and the animation is stylish. The animated comedy Ice Age was about three prehistoric animals who become unlikely friends: Manny the woolly mammoth (Ray Romano), Sid the sloth (John Leguizamo) and Diego the sabre-toothed tiger (Denis Leary).
Scrat, who was in Ice Age for less than five minutes, had now a bigger role in the sequel Ice Age: The Meltdown. Once again Scrat opens the film, but this time every 15 minutes or so he’s back with another death-defying attempt to get that elusive acorn. Scrat appearances are crucial in the sequel, and considering how the movie ended will sure have a strong role in a third Ice Age.
In ‘Ice Age: The Meltdown’ Manny, Sid and Diego are enjoying the effects of global warming with their neighbours in little valley guarded by giants walls of ice. Everything seems idyllic till Fast Tony, the pessimistic armadillo, points to all the vultures circling the valley. A three day journey to a boat is to be take, in order to save themselves from drowning.
On the way, they meet Ellie (Queen Latifah), possibly the only female mammoth left in the world who – even more – thinks she’s a possum and along with her two “brothers”, are trying to get to the boat. From now on great laughs will be following the story which just began.
Genres: Comedy, Kids/Family, Animation and Sequel
Starring: Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Queen Latifah, Josh Peck
Directed by: Carlos Saldanha
Produced by: Lori Forte
Score: 5 / 5

Nicole Kidman hinted that she might be considering retiring from her 25 year career as an actress. Maybe to have kids, or whatever else she wants to do. Nothing stopping her.
During a Sydney press conference today to promote the Down Under premiere of Australia, the Oscar winner hinted she may soon be forsaking the big screen for another round of diaper duty, or other more personal endeavors. “In terms of my future as an actor and stuff, I don’t know,” the 41-year-old mother of three said. “I am in a place in my life where…I’ve had some great opportunities, and I may just choose to have some more children.”
Not that I have any say in the matter, but if she wants to quit acting, I say that is her call. She lists her experience with Australia as a dream for her since she was a child. Though born in Hawaii, she lived her life past the age of 4 in Australia and started acting at the age of 15. She is now 41, so she has put in her time. Let the girl have a life now that she never has to worry about money again.
She is saying she might quit acting, but I hope we get at least one more big film out of her. Her next role (which could be her last if she doesn’t line up more) is playing a post op transexual male opposite Charlize Theron. I would hope that she would want her last role to be remembered by would be something that compliments her beauty and grace as opposed to going out of the business playing a man.
Quit while you are on top and swimming in cash. Nothing wrong with that.
Carrot Top is still trying. Look how that works out?
If you are fan of A.R rahman then you can go for sakkarakatti.Otherwise their is nothing in the movie it is same usual story which is been said in a technical way by director . The only good thing which the director has done is that he has kept the taxi song at the end which made most of the audience to stay in the theater until then ……
