1) Constantine: Rating Very poor
Comic book movies are always hard to make. Mostly, they translate into action packed movies which are trashed by all critics. And if on the odd chance, the movie tries to put an artistic twist on the comic book, then the audiences stay away. Constantine tries to combine both action and artistic genres and ends up failing horribly on both accounts. The action and visuals have all been seen before and average at best. And then there’s the acting. Or lack of it. Keanu Reeves is the wrong choice for this role. This role demanded a brooding miserable performance right out of a Film Noir movie and Reeves sounds like he is still in the Matrix movies (even some of the scenes and his poses are right out of the Matrix). A real waste of a movie!
2) Beautiful Boxer (directed by Ekachai Uekrongtham): Rating 8/10
An interesting movie, which is based on the true story of a thai boxer who gets a sex change operation to become a woman. The movie tells the story in flash back; the ex-boxer boxer narrates his life story, of how he first noticed that he wanted to be a woman, of how he got into Thai boxing and why he decided to postpone his sex change operation. It is a very well done movie which handles the topic with the right amount of sensitivity and emotion.
3) Bride and Prejudice: Rating – Not worth it.
A horrible horrible movie! It is an example of poor cinema. No words can describe how bad this movie. It pretends to be funny but it is not! The jokes are poor in any language. And the acting by a certain beautiful woman is non-existent – she can’t act. Simple as that!
