My Thoughts: Last night we all got together over here and watched their copy of Iron Man 3. This is the first time I got to see this one... and like the others I enjoyed it very much. Great film... lots of fun to watch. However... I will say this third one is definitely my least favorite of the three. I just didn't care much for a couple of directions the story took. Still well worth the time put in to watch it... a must see if you are a fan of the first 2 films. My Rating: (From What Movies I Been Watching on February 1st, 2014) Unknown, a review by DragonfireI decided to go see Unknown when it was still in the theater here. I did enjoy the movie overall, but it isn't as original and clever as I think it was intended to be. The plot has some definite issues, but it isn't a horrible movie. The plot has an interesting idea. A man - Dr. Martin Harris - is in a car accident shortly after arriving in Berlin and ends up with some memory loss. He remembers his name and his wife Elizabeth, but he can't remember other things. It gets weird for him when he gets back to Elizabeth only to have her deny that he is her husband. She even introduces someone else as Martin. After that, Martin focuses on trying to figure out what is going on. He even tracks down the cab driver, Gina, who was also in the accident. Before seeing the movie, I saw a commercial on tv that said the movie was like a combination of two other movies. That comparison totally gives away too much. The movie would have been better if the plot had been more original. There is action in a few scenes, especially later in the movie. The action scenes are done well and help to keep things interesting. Violence turns up as well, though things aren't overly violent. The mystery surrounding Martin could have been stronger. The acting is fine, with Neeson being the best of the cast. I did enjoy the movie overall, though I do think it could have been better. I ended up rounding up to 4 stars when I posted a review on Epinions...I think 3.5 fits better. I did get a review posted on Epinions after seeing the movie in the theater.

Plot: Welcome to India: a diverse country of exotic cuisine, fascinating cultures, unique social customs...and the home of the Mid America Novelties call center. Unsuspecting management trainee Todd Dempsy is shocked when his job and department are relocated to the chaotic city of Mumbai. With no other career options, the Kansas native makes the jump himself and discovers that his most important work might just be teaching his eclectic group of Indian customer service reps what being American is all about. Developed by writer Robert Borden (The Drew Carey Show) and director Ken Kwapis (The Office), it's 22 episodes of fun and hilarity where laughter is never lost in translation. Outsourced 1.01 Pilot Writer: George Wing (Writer), John Jeffcoat (Writer), George Wing (Original Material By), John Jeffcoat (Original Material By) Director: Ken Kwapis Cast: Ben Rappaport (Todd Dempsy), Anisha Nagarajan (Madhuri), Diedrich Bader (Charlie Davies), Parvesh Cheena (Gupta), Pippa Black (Tonya), Rebecca Hazlewood (Asha), Rizwan Manji (Rajiv), Sacha Dhawan (Manmeet), Matt Walsh (Jerry Stern), Shawn Parikh ("A" Team Indian), Sid Veda (CS Worker #8), Guru Singh (Ajeet), Steve Seagren (American Caller (voice)), Nicholas Logan (Madhuri's Caller (voice)), Peggy Etra (Southern Caller (voice)), K.T. Thangavelu (Ruchi), Pooja Batra (CS Worker #9), Mueen Jahan (Lunch Man) I bought this series after watching and enjoying the movie on which this series is based on. The first episode is very promising. I enjoyed it much more than Mumbai Calling, a British series with the same premise. I am even considering to put this marathon on hold and continue watching this series now. Rating: (From Tom's TV Pilots marathon on June 22nd, 2012) |
