THE BONE COLLECTOR

If you haven't watched a decent crime mystery movie recently, check this title out. It is much like a regular serial killer movie. Only that it has the awesome Denzel Washington and the non-lip-job hot Angelina Jolie in lead roles.

The lead, Washington is a quadriplegic detective on the verge of becoming a vegetable for the rest of his life. He is approached by the NYPD to solve an abduction/homicide case. Washington, aware that he cannot personally scour the crime scene, needs someone with the "magic eye", a penchant for forensics. That someone is played by the beautiful Angelina Jolie.What follows is a string of incidents that change both their lives and make for some very interesting movie.

Final verdict: This is not very different from the other serial killer movies. But it is surely more interesting than many, and better made than most. If crime thrillers are your type of movies, try this.

ANTWONE FISHER

We all take our families for granted in some ways or the other. But this movie shows you the importance of people to call your own. This movie will make you feel loved no matter what!

The movie starts with a young sailor, Antwone Fisher, who seems to be suffering from some kind of emotional instability. He is sent to a Navy psychologist, played by the extremely talented Denzel Washington. The problems dont seem to on their way to being over. In fact the matters complicate when Antwone gradually reveals his sad and subdued past. What happens next? How does the Antwone story end? Watch the movie, it is an interesting one.

Final Verdict: The story will take you from anger to fulfillment all in the course of the 2 hrs. And it might just bring tears in your eyes.

THE PIANIST

Sometimes when millions suffer and die beyond our own control, we humans like to take solace in stories of those who escaped the worst.

The Pianist is a movie based on true accounts of a jewish pianist and his life in a WW2 ghetto. The story documents how the jewish were made to leave everything that they ever owned and confined in areas ironically termed as "shelters". It also portrays the grim life in the worst living conditions possible and you can't help but feel the dark shadow of death and desperation shrouding the movie. The "pianist" does escape being deported to death camps. But the question is: Can he survive in spite of being given several chances?
Watch to find out. It makes for quite some thrill!

Final verdict: The movie is a bit dramatized in parts but well worth the watch. If you can handle a re-watch of the Schindler's List, go for this movie.
