The Blind Side (2009)

Director: John Lee Hancock

Writers: John Lee Hancock, Michael Lewis

Stars: Quinton Aaron, Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw

My Review:

            Well this film is one of the best films of 2009. I saw this film only after the Oscar was awarded to Sandra Bullock. Sandra Bullock’s performance was awesome. This film is based on the life incidents of Michael Oher, one of the best offensive tackles in the world of Football. Michael Oher, a giant kid from Mississippi who has no one to take care of him and no place to stay, is admitted in a school because of his ability to score hoops from anywhere.  Leigh-Ann Tughy (Sandra Bullock), the mother of SJ Tughy and Collin Tughy finds about Michael and provides him shelter in her home. She gets impressed by his behaviour and she brings him up.

            SJ Tughy (Jay Head) is the cutest of the cast. His role in the film is a big boost for the film. Whenever he and Michael appear in the screen, it’s like David and Goliath but in a comedy show. Sandra Bullock was great when she does anything for Michael. Quito Aaron who played the role of Michael Oher was also good. The scenes of his interview and Leigh-Ann teaching him how to play were excellent. Sandra Bullock won the three big awards for this film- The Academy Award, Golden Globes and the SAG Award.

My Review: 7.8/10

Kick-Ass (2010)

Director: Matthew Vaughn

Writers: Jane Goldman, Matthew Vaughn

Stars: Aaron Johnson, Lyndsy Fonseca, Chloe Moretz and Nicolas Cage

My Review:

                Kick-Ass is one of the best films of 2010. This is a super hit action-comedy film starring Aaron Johnson, Lyndsy Fonseca and Nicolas Cage. Dave Lizewski (Johnson) is a geek studying in High School. Being a fan of comics and having suffered at the hands of muggers, Dave thinks of becoming a superhero and buys himself a costume and names himself Kick-Ass. Kick-Ass becomes popular when his ass gets kicked trying to save a complete stranger from three punks. Dave loves Katie (Lyndsy Fonseca) but she does not. One day Katie asks him about comics and asks him out for a coffee. Dave and Katie become friends and many of Dave’s dreams come alive just because of one lie.

                When Dave tries to do a favour for Katie, he meets two other super heroes namely Hit Girl (Moretz) and Big Daddy (Cage), who are really good at fighting and also the villain Frank D’Amico is introduced. Big Daddy was an ex-cop who was framed and arrested for Drug Trafficking by D’Amico. Hit Girl was his daughter and he takes revenge against D’Amico.

                The performances were above average but the plot and the comedy sequences were hilarious. The chemistry between Dave and Katie was good. The stunts and action scenes were also good. The film was well directed by Matthew Vaughn. The stunts at the climax were great. So to sum it up, Kick-Ass is a good film, worth watching.

My Rating: 7.7/10
