THE MARINE:
This certainly is a ground-breaking movie as far as my blog is concerned!!!You might have guessed it from the Lable in the first place.'The Marine' is the first film I have given a single star out of ten.This is first time I did so,for a movie.Since there Zero is not available in IMDB rating system,I had to satisfy myself with giving a One.

Right from the word Go,'The Marine' fails to impress even the most dumb person on Earth.For instance,the opening credits were cheesy & plain-silly(graphics & soundtrack!!!).And it is commendable the Director chose to introduce the hero John Triton(WWE star John Cena) as a Marine who saves POW from an Al-Queeda(???) camp.The film keeps going downhill from here and it is never redeemed from the bad opening sequence.Things get from bad to worse to even worse....and the final totally unrealistic scene sums up this crappy movie.

John Triton is discharged from his post as a Marine for disobeying orders,wherin he saved the lives of a couple of POW(the first of the cheesy scenes with a high level of unrealism).John returns to his wife,Kate Triton(Kelly Carlson) who in the later parts of the movie forgets to cry or feel pain when she comes to know her husband is dead.Of course,the 'death' part does not happen,because the Hero escapes from many explosions,a crappy car-chase sequence and direct hand-to-hand combats with the villains.Coming back to the story,Kate gets into the hands of a group of diamond thieves who are on the run.Joh must now use his skills and brain(does that exist??) and escape unharmed from big explosions(oh yeah we believe that) and rescue his wife from the gang led by Rome(Robert Patrick).

John Cena doesnt deserve a mention at all...his muscles show more emotions than his face.He should be barred from acting anymore,unless he manages to prove he has at least a little acting skill.Robert Patrick who returns as a main-stay villain after a long time(remember the T-1000 in Terminator:2??) is quite okay,but still he looked kind of freaked out!!!There is zilch need for even mentioning the rest of the cast.A total catastrophe for the viewer and is to be avoided at all costs.

The only scene funny in the entire movie is the place where a thief remarks,"that guy is like the Terminator" and Patrick gives him a stare.That was really funny,given the fact that Patrick himself had played the T-1000 in Terminator:2.

My rating: 1/10 (record rating from me!!)

WHEN A STRANGER CALLS:
I would rather not comment on this movie.The story sounded quite interesting and i thought i would give it a try,but it was a total disaster.Of course,the movie was scary enough as far as the background music alone was concerned.Screenplay offers nothing new.

This movie is actually a remake of a movie by the same name and story made way back in 1979,which is better i heard.

A high-school student baby-sits for a rich family in a high Mansion in a remote place.Soon after the parents leave,she starts getting blank calls.She finally realises that someone is out there to kill her and she tries to escape with the kids who are asleep upstairs.

The only thing cool in this movie is the mansion of the rich couple,which is awesome.The lights automatically turn on when one walks into a room and we have a remote for the chimney-fire as well.Cool na?? ;)

My rating: 3/10

ELLAN:
Mithun Chakrabothy is BABA,a terrorist feared all over the World (lol) .His hands reache every corner of the Globe(lol yet again).A son seeks him out to take revenge for his Baba's murder of his father .On the way he teams up with 4 others.

Man i am tired typing out this for this movie...A waste of time if you ask me, the plot is'nt that good.Foreign locations and friendship songs alone will not make up for a shoddy and half-baked script.Despite all this,the movie has a few good moments....but definitely worth a skip.

My rating: 4/10
Links: none (there better be none!!!)

88 MINUTES:
Was'nt very good i would say.I though i would try this movie out as the movie had Al Pacino(I love him).Even though the movie was quite lame,it had some amount of suspence.I could not figure out the killer till they told me who it was(i never even attempted to take a guess,boring movie).Time-pass movie on a lazy afternoon...

My rating: 7/10 (Half this rating is for Al Pacino's presence alone!!)
