Midnight in Paris (2011)


Title: Midnight in Paris


Write/Director: Woody Allen.

Verdict: Beautiful and enjoyable movie about human desire to live in a different time.

It weaves a story of nostalgia with stunning details and magical visualization. The start of the movie itself is a treat with a series of great snaps of Parisian life. It recreates the golden era of cultural icons like Picasso, Dali, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein. Have you wished you had lived during their times, with them in PARIS?. You will enjoy this romantic movie.

The cast is awesome - Owen Wilson, Adrian Brody, Marian Cotillard, Kathy Bates (many more). The background music enhances the mood.

This movie justly won the 'Best screenplay' award at the 2012 Golden Globes for writer-director Woody Allen. It was perhaps the award winning script and screenplay which contributed to the richness of the story and the visual grandeur in the film.

Margin Call (2011)

Writer-Director J.C. Chandor



Watched Margin Call (2011). Have  you been puzzled by how the US stock meltdown of 2008 happen? This movie takes an inside look at a financial firm (Lehman Brothers?) which discovers that it has made extremely risky investments. Perhaps these are  now worthless assets on the company's books. What happens inside the company's power structure? What does it do on the trading floor? How does the market react?  This story unfolds in a very engaging manner.  It has exciting performances by an ensemble cast that includes Kevin Spacey, Demi Moore, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Irons, Stan Lee and Simon Baker.  The film does a great job of showing the financial players as real humans with multiple emotions and values and not just as heartless crooks on Wall Street. Any one with an interest in finance and business will like this movie. I gave it 7 out of 10.
