Dans la ville de Sylvia (2007)
Absolutely Awful
I only ever write a review if I feel strongly about a film. I went to watch this movie with a friend in Manchester, to say it was boring would be a compliment! In fact I overheard to ladies say "I wish Mark had come to watch this movie, it would have been great punishment" and I could not have described it better myself! This movie is truly bad
.I love world cinema but this film had no story line, hardly any dialect and the scenery itself was poor. If you want to wonder through streets following strangers then this is the movie for you! but do not expect to see any great architecture as all you will see is walls and tarmac! Within five minutes of the movie the boredom is set, having to observe a guy starring into space
.and quite frankly the boredom never really leaves, I sat through this movie thinking it may get better but unfortunately it just gets worse, don't waste your money or your time in going to watch this especially dire film!
Really (2006)
Dull as Dishwater
Really was an extremely poor film with a bad storyline. The movie was filmed in a very boring and slow fashion with strange characters and seemed to have little purpose. I agree with Eleanor's housemate's comments about this movie and that it is just about a women who sleeps with a man she neither really likes or feels much for. In a sense you do not know whether Eleanor the main character is just desperate (she seems to lead a dull lonely life) or completely bored that she would settle for anyone or anything. The one thing this movie does teach you though is what nonsense life coach's can speak. Nothing much else happens in this film so as my comments above state it is as dull as dishwater and I would certainly not recommend anyone to go watch, you would be more entertained by going to your local café/ pub for the evening. I do not understand how this film got a good review on IMDb because it certainly does not deserve it, so please do not waste your time or your money by watching this film, that's the best piece of advice I can offer.

Excellent - Certainly A Must See
What a delightful film. The story lines were good, lighting and colours great and at times the film was very funny. I really enjoyed this movie as the characters had a lot of life to them even though they didn't seem to say a great deal. The actresses were very beautiful and did a grand job in helping this movie come alive especially the two elderly ladies. This is a uplifting film that has a number of story lines going on at the same time, it is a film that I could easily recommend and watch again. The colours in this movie are as vivid as the characters and I really enjoyed the visual lighting as most of it is shot indoors but has spectacular sunshine throughout it. Although the film deals with some serious issues the balance of light heartedness and seriousness is very delicately balanced to make an outstanding film.
Om Shanti Om (2007)
Lacks a story line, poorly written and very boring.
This movie has had so much hype
but that's all it is. When I was in India the marketing for this movie was excessive...but honestly not worth it. The story line is lacking despite the colourful seventies theme, not only does the movie drag but it was awfully boring. I guess the vision for this movie was obviously somewhat deluded and can be blamed on Farah Khan's hormones!! The actual songs from the movie are not bad, and the costumes that the main actress wears are nice but that's the only good thing I can say about this film. I ended up walking out half way through and totally did not enjoy it. I would certainly not recommend this film to anyone unless you want to waste your money and get bored!!

Abysmal
This film was so bad, I had to walk out half way, it made me cringe!! We decided to go and watch this movie because one our friends really enjoyed and loved the humour in Shaad Ali's Bunty aur Babli,(which for me was bearable not great, but it was alright) hence we thought maybe this would be similar but to our astonishment this movie was abysmal. It began with song and dance, and continued with songs that were thrown in for the sake of it. The acting was terrible...from both B's and Preity as for Bobby - no comment. The storyline was predictable, this goes to show that no matter how great or wonderful an actor/ actress you are if the script is not right
..then you will look like a fool, and that's exactly what they did look like! I don't go to watch a movie because a particular actor is it
unlike most Indian audiences...I go to watch a movie because there is a good plot, storyline etc hence had it not been for my friend i would not have gone to watch this movie. For me to take time out and write this review goes to show how awful I thought this movie really was.
