‘Twilight - Eclipse’ one of the most awaited movie of 2010. This is third installment of Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling novel. We get much more action, much more drama in this movie.

Bella (played by Kristen Stewart) is still living in Forks with her dad; she is grounded by her father for her Italian adventures in last movie ‘New Moon’ and also he wanted Bella to date someone else other than Edward (played by Robert Pattison). She is not ready for that. Bella is still followed by Victoria for her revenge. In this movie she creates an army of new born vampires with the help of Riely (played by Xavier Samuel). For Bella’s safety the warewolves and vampires has to act together. Jacob (played by Taylor Lautner) and Edward have to work together. Meanwhile Bella has to decide between Edward love of her life and Jacob her best friend.

“Eclipse” is action packed movie compared to earlier parts. The love triangle is come out much more strongly in this movie. Enjoy the brilliant actions and special effects in this movie. The main star cast better in this movie. For me David Slade directed the movie better than his predecessor. Cinematography of the movie enhanced the movie experience.

If I have to rate this movie I will give it 8 out of 10.

New Moon

Movie Review “NEW MOON” (2009)

Genre: Drama, Romance, Fantasy

Director: Chris Weitz

Writer: Melissa Rosenberg (screenplay), Steaphenie Meyer (Novel)

Language: English

Star Cast: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Billy Burke, Anna Kendrik, Ashley Green, Nikki Reed, Peter Facinelli and others

‘New Moon’ is second series of Twilight Saga which are adapted from Stephnie Meyer’s bestselling novels. Picking up where Twilight left off, ‘New Moon’ follows gloomy teenager Bella Swan (played by Kristen Stewart). In this movie Bella is dumped by her vampire boyfriend Edward Cullen (played by Robert Pattison). He dumps her for the fear of hurting her. So Bella as goes through emotional turmoil after Edward moves away from her leaving no traces. While going through this confusion Bella finds comfort in friendship with another boy Jacob Black (played by Taylor Lautner), who is in love with Bella. But Bella isn't tdestined to have a normal relationship as it turns out the hunky Jacob Black is also not normal human. He is a werewolf. Will Edward comeback? Will Bella able to forget Edward? Will Jacob win Bella?

This film has better action sequences than the first film. The scene in which Jacob first morphs into a werewolf and leaps onto another warewolf are absolutely stunning. And also werewolves chasing the Vampires were amazing to watch. But the novels strong points were romance and drama which wasn’t came out that well in this film. And I will say it was because of average acting skills. It could have been lot better. This movie is actually nothing but a link between first and third part. It was just to help you understand next part and as per novel it has much more drama and action. So I am looking forward to it.

If I have to rate this movie I will give it 7 out of 10.

RAJNEETI

Movie Review “RAJNEETI” (2010)

Genre: Crime, Drama, Romance

Director: Prakash Jha

Writer: Prakash Jha, Anjum Rajabali

Language: Hindi

Star Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Ajay Devgan, Naseeruddin Shah, Nana Patekar, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpai, Vinay Apate, Kiran Karmarkar, Shruti Seth, Sarah Thompson, and others

‘RAJNEETI’ is nothing but story of well known epic saga Mahabharata placed in today. Like Mahabharata ‘Rajneeti’ shows the power struggle in the family of ‘Pratap’. Two ‘Pratap’ brothers established the political supremacy over the region for decades. The older brother had charisma and younger brother had brains which gave their family unlimited and unchallenged political power. But when the time came to hand over this power to next generation and select the successor the battle begins. Elder brother’s son Virendra (played by Manoj Bajpai) who thinks he should rightfully crowned as party supreme after his father, gets furious when his uncle takes over the party and devalues his position in party. So his lust for power makes him kill his uncle with the help of a Dalit friend Suraj (played by Ajay Devgan). He even wants to destroy his uncle’s sons Prithvi and Samar (Played by Arjun Rampal and Ranbir Kapoor). So the both sides want each other’s blood at any cost. Who will win and at what cost?

As we all know Mahabharata very well, movie does not able to shock us, no twist are unknown or good enough. But acting performances are brilliant which makes you survive for almost 3 hours. Out of all actors Manoj Bajpai stand out brightly.

If I have to rate this movie I will give it 6 out of 10.
