    Emma Watson Hollywood's highest paid female star 2009

    ShareThis

    Harry Potter star, 19-year-old Emma Watson was 2009’s highest-paid actress in Hollywood, after being paid £20million for the final two Deathly Hallows movies, in which she plays Hermione Granger.

    She  earned more than established stars such as Cameron Diaz and Sarah Jessica Parker on a list of Hollywood’s top 40 earners. 
    Her 2009 income was put at £20 million in the inaugural list compiled by Vanity Fair magazine. 
    Early life of Emma Watson

    Emma Watson was born in Paris, the daughter of British lawyers Jacqueline Luesby and Chris Watson.  Watson has one French grandmother,  and lived in Paris until the age of five. Later, following her parents' divorce, she moved with her mother and younger brother, Alex, to Oxfordshire.  

    From the age of six, Watson wanted to become an actress,  and for a number of years she trained at the Oxford branch of Stagecoach Theatre Arts, a part-time theatre school where she studied singing, dancing and acting.  By the age of ten, she had performed in various Stagecoach productions and school plays, including Arthur: The Young Years and The Happy Prince,  but she had never acted professionally before the Harry Potter series. "I had no idea of the scale of the film series," she stated in a 2007 interview with Parade; "if I had I would have been completely overwhelmed.

    The top ten are: 
    1. Michael Bay, producer-director ($125 million)
    2. Steven Spielberg, producer-director ($85 million)
    3. Roland Emmerich, producer-director ($70 million)
    4. James Cameron, producer-director ($50 million)
    5. Todd Phillips, director ($44 million)
    6. Daniel Radcliffe, actor ($41 million)
    7. Ben Stiller, actor ($40 million)
    8. Tom Hanks, actor ($36 million)
    9. J. J. Abrams, producer-director ($36 million)
    10. Jerry Bruckheimer, producer ($35.5 million)

    Iron Man (Ultimate Two-Disc Edition + BD Live) [Blu-ray]

    Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment present the highly anticipated sequel to the blockbuster film based on the legendary Marvel Super Hero “Iron Man,” reuniting director Jon Favreau and Oscar® nominee Robert Downey Jr. In “Iron Man 2,” the world is aware that billionaire inventor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is the armored Super Hero Iron Man. 

    Under pressure from the government, the press and the public to share his technology with the military, Tony is unwilling to divulge the secrets behind the Iron Man armor because he fears the information will slip into the wrong hands. With Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and James “Rhodey” Rhodes (Don Cheadle) at his side, Tony forges new alliances and confronts powerful new forces.

    Kites movie i want my paisa vapas

    ShareThis
    Kites (New Hindi Film / Bollywood Movie / Indian Cinema CD)Film: Kites. Cast: Hrithik Roshan, Barbara Mori, Kangana Ranaut. A bleeding and bullet hit Jay (Hrithik Roshan), who is dressed like a matador, mysteriously rolls off the carriage of a train. After the bullet is removed and dunked into a glass of whiskey, the intense, bearded young man limps his way across a desert. A sweet, old gentleman shouts out something in Spanish. The subtitles (in Hindi) read ‘I hope you find your lost love.’ You know instantly that you are watching what maybe India’s first tri-lingual. One only wishes that they had tried harder.

    In spite of a sharp and promising start Kites doesn’t fly. It’s a case of old wine in a new bottle, re-telling the classic Bollywood story of love against all odds and is replete with passionate lovers, menacing villains, singing and dancing and fighting and romancing.

    The Vegas based Jay will do anything for money. We see him marry a dozen girls to get them a green card for hard cash. One day, he decides too woo the depressive but filthy rich Gina (Kangana Ranaut in yet another psycho-chick role). Jay and Gina win a dance competition (yes, Jay is also a dancer/choreographer) and not only does Jay have the curly haired girl swooning to his beat, he also charms her father Bob (Kabir Bedi). So impressed is Bob with the boys talents and his daughters gushing that he invites Jay to his sons engagement and treats him like family.

Brook's original 1985 stage play was 9 hours long, and toured around the world for four years. It is 3 hours movie.

    Don't judge a book by its cover! - English idom.

    Is it true to movies ?  You can judge the movie in first 3 minutes on seeing the titles and introduction and judge how much efforts the production team  has made to make the movie. The opening sequence of Peter Brooks Mahabharata captures your full attention as it talks about you.

    Transcript of the opening sequence of Peter Brooks Mahabharata

    Vyasa: Do you know how to write ?
    Boy  : No
    Vyasa: I have composed a great poem. I have composed it all but nothing is written. I need someone to write down what I know.
    Boy  : What's you name ?
    Vyasa: Vyasa
    Boy  : What's your poem about ?
    Vyasa: It's about You.
    Boy  : Me.
    Vyasa: Yes. It is the story of your race. How your ancestors were born. How they grew. How vast war arose. It is the poetical history of mankind. If you listen carefully, at the end you will be someone else.

    I saw few clips of the movie on You Tube. It is really powerful and  thought provoking.  I decided to buy the DVD from Amazon for a full experience. You must have noticed one thing in James Bond movie - it starts with action from the first scene.They spend lot of time and resource even for the movie titles.

    The Patriot (Special Edition)
    Many swear people behind their back. However you will be embarrassed if you caught on TV or camera.

    Mel Gibson swore at a television reporter who questioned him about his controversial past, about his alcohol addiction and anti-Semitic rant towards a police officers four years ago referring to him as an ......

    Lesson: If you are under similar situation, wait for a minute and ensure that all devices are turned off. Then do the mind fart. (This could another way to be popular on TV).

    The Ghost movie - a critical review

    ShareThis

    The Ghost

    The Ghost, a Roman Polanksi movie is a film adaptation of the Robert Harris novel The Ghost.  I watched the movie yesterday and here is the plot.

    When a successful British ghost writer(Ewan McGregor) agrees to complete the memoirs of former British Prime Minister Adam Lang(Pierce Brosnan), his agent assures him it's the opportunity of a lifetime. But the project seems doomed from the start—not least because his predecessor on the project, Lang's long-term aide, died in an accident. The ghostwriter flies out to work on the project, in the middle of winter, to an oceanfront house on an island off the U.S. Eastern seaboard. But the day he arrives, a former British cabinet minister accuses Lang of authorizing the illegal seizure of suspected terrorists and handing them over for torture by the CIA—a war crime.

    The controversy brings reporters and protesters swarming to the island mansion where Lang is staying with his wife, Ruth(Olivia Williams), and his personal assistant (and mistress), Amelia (Kim Cattrall). As the ghostwriter works, he uncovers clues suggesting his predecessor may have stumbled on a dark secret linking Lang to the CIA—and that somehow this information is hidden in the manuscript he left behind.

    My Review

    • Underutilized Pearce Brosnan. The film is about him but you struggle to find him.
    • It is a cross of Angels and Demons and National Treasure: Book of Secrets. Originally Nicolas Cage was to play the Ghost Writer
    • 128 minutes of entertainment followed by12 hours of analysis.

    Dear John, a sentimental film set against American army background, autism and 9/11, broke quite a few records as it unseated Avatar in its eight week at the North American box office. Cast Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried.
    Plot: A romantic drama about a soldier who falls for a conservative college student while he's home on leave.

    I watched Avatar movie in 3D. The computer graphics was really fantastic and very good. But while I watching the movie I felt movie Independence Day was much more engaging. May be because humans were fighting aliens !!! In Avatar - humans were aliens. So there was little less sympathy.

    I watched the movie again in 2D i.e without one dimension. This time, I wanted to be involved with the story and see from director's point of view. But somehow I was not able to  feel the emotions of Navi's like how I felt for Rose DeWitt Bukater in Titanic. 

    I like James Cameron movies but somehow I feel his action/drama movies are much better than sci-fi/alien ones.
