Sydney White (2008)

Sydney White (2008)

Sydney White hopes to fill in what she believes are fairly big shoes that belonged to her late mother by joining Kappa, her mother’s sorority. As is to be expected, the sorority president is the stereotypical snob who despises Sydney’s natural charm, skill at pledge tasks, and of course, the attraction between Sydney and the Beta president, the Kappa’s former beau. Sydney is humiliated in front of the entire sorority ball but bounces back through befriending 7 less-than-popular nerds down the street. They mutually help each other meet their goals of becoming more “normal”(the dorks) and able to make the campus friendly for all types of students (Sydney). It is a good, relatively clean movie, with mainly the B-word and the A- word the extent of any foul language (nowadays it appears that this is no big deal unfortunately) which many not sit well with younger audiences. But the message of acceptance and empowerment was a positive one and I found myself tearing up a few times!

The movie focus on a few of the students and how they cope. Some decide to play the game like the psychotic Kiriyama or the sexual Mistuko, while others like the heroes of the movie–Shuya, Noriko, and Kawada–are trying to find a way to get off the Island without violence. However, as the numbers dwell down lower and lower on an hourly basis, is there any way for Shuya and classmates to survive?

Bandit Queen (1994)

Bandit Queen (1994)

The movie tells the story of the bandit queen Phoolan Devi who was sent to prison in 1983 and got free in 1994. During five years she was prosecuted by the Indian police and turned into a legend (like a modern Robin Hood) by the Indian press. Although the press tended to make her the optimal hero with blue eyes, dark hair, being tall and beautiful she was in reality an average Indian which makes it hard for the movie to fulfill the expectations of the audience and tell the truth at the same time. Nowadays Phoolan Devi wants to enter the field of politics.

Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies (1999)

Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies (1999)

Andrew Divoff returns as the evil Djinn bent on world domination in this direct-to-video sequel to Wishmaster. Released from his prison gem during a failed museum robbery, Djinn transforms from a gooey blob to a demon in human form after granting his first venom-laced wish and takes the rap for the heist and a couple of murders. Meanwhile Morgana (Holly Fields, looking like a B-movie version of Angelina Jolie, without the lips) is haunted by nightmares of the demon and discovers the meaning behind his command, “Fulfill the prophecy”: he needs to bag 1,000 souls and then he’s Armageddon bound. Like its predecessor, Wishmaster 2 twists the classic genie-in-the-lamp legend into a sick joke; every wish is granted in the most literal terms, leaving the recipients victims of their own greed and desire in often gory spectacles. The budgetary constraints are evident in the more ambitious effects, notably a calamity of biblical proportions in a Las Vegas casino with computer-animated locusts and unconvincing dismemberments. Divoff makes a low-rent Freddy Krueger, tossing off pale quips with a tight grin and in a raspy, self-important monotone in this A Nightmare on Elm Street knockoff. Best to stick with the real thing.

Hidalgo (2004)

Set in the 1800s, thisfamily film chronicles the triumphant victory wonby Frank and his mustang Hidalgo in the Ocean of Fire, an often-fatal competition in which the bestriders and thoroughbreds race across Middle Eastern deserts. For Frank, who is known in the west for his prowess as a Pony Express rider and the winner of long-distance horse races, the lure of the Ocean of Fire is not only the $100,000 purse but also the clear challenge–both of which prove irresistible, and inspire him to travel across the worldfor this life-altering experience. With sweeping landscapes that evoke John Ford westerns like Stagecoach and The Searchers, Hidalgo features enough racing, rivalry, and romance to befit any action film. But the race also provides a vehicle for the story of Frank forgiving himself for his participation in the Wounded Knee slaughter and accepting his part-Indian ancestry. The film`s message, highlighted in a particularly moving scene where Frank invokes the spirits of his Native American ancestors, is that the key to happiness is accepting yourself as you are.

The Usual Suspects (1995)

The Usual Suspects (1995)

After a waterfront explosion, Verbal, an eye-witness and participant tells the story of events leading up to the conflagration. The story begins when five men are rounded up for a line-up, and grilled about a truck hijacking (the usual suspects). Least pleased is Keaton a crooked cop - exposed, indicted, but now desperately trying to go straight. The cops won’t leave him alone, however, and as they wait for their lawyers to post bail, he is talked into doing one more job with the other four. All goes tolerably well until the influence of the legendary, seemingly omnipotent “Keyser Soze” is felt. Although set in the modern day, it has much of the texture of the forties, plus suspense, intrigue (a fairly high body count), and lots of twists in the plot.
