The Reluctant Fundamentalist

It's a beautiful Wednesday morning and I have found another trailer to share with everyone! Today we are going to be looking at 'The Reluctant Fundamentalist'.



I don't know about you, but for me the first words that pop into my head are "Thought Provoking". I know that this film is addressing a very touchy subject for a lot of people but whichever side of the debate you land on, I think 'The Reluctant Fundamentalist' will still be incredibly interesting. A Pakistani Muslim comes to the U.S.A. just in time to see the Twin Towers fall? Sounds like an absolute nightmare to me. There is always so much to learn by looking at the world through another set of eyes, and I think 'The Reluctant Fundamentalist' could be very interesting.

Apart from the main premise, this movie has two very solid actors: Kiefer Sutherland and Liev Schreiber. I pretty much adore both of these actors. If there is anything we know about both of them it's that they are convincing in dramatic roles. Honestly, I'm pretty excited that there is a movie with both of them in it! Kate Hudson is also floating around in the background. She has the capability to act seriously, she just very rarely uses it. Hopefully, she won't be a blemish on the cast!

All in all I think that this just might be a winner! It has the components to be a legit suspense drama. I'm looking foreword to when I have the opportunity to watch this one. I hope it doesn't disappoint!

I have since seen this movie and written a review.

  1. Chills running up and down my spine. This looks like a GOOD ONE. (And Keifer uses his Jack Bauer voice - gotta love that.)

    Chuckled at your accurate depiction of Kate Hudson. Let's hope she acts up to her ability in this one. Could help her career if she gets serious.

    Thanks for another stirring review, Cassie!

    I'll watch it with you!

  2. Its a masterpiece by Mira Nair. Its so gripping that sometimes the viewer also feels emotionally attached with the lead protagonist, Riz Ahmed. Questioning own's beliefs and goals is a difficult task which in this movie Riz Ahmed playing as a Pakistani goal oriented financial analyst has executed brilliantly.. Awesome performances packed with exceptional hard hitting dialogues differentiate this movie with other similar ones. A must watch..

The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug ~ An Abomination

Hello, everyone! I finally managed to get myself to the theatre to see 'The Desolation of Smaug'! As most of you probably remember,  I pretty much hated the first 'Hobbit' movie.  Well, this one is even worse! Congratulation Peter Jackson, you outdid yourself. Your selfish, egotistical direction style has managed to absolutely destroy the middle section of the beloved Hobbit story. Let's get started on the details shall we? First! I know this has been talked about by everyone, but the High Frame Rate! It's distracting and clunky. I'm my opinion, it make everyone look like they were moving ever so slightly in fast forward. Also, it generally made the film quality look like a made-for-TV movie. I watched the first Hobbit in 2D so this was my first encounter with this laborious beast. They never should have done it. Second, the Hobbit feet. WHY WHY WHY? Why did they make his feet swollen to a comical, ridiculous level? They are meant to be hairy and tough,

Emergency at the Pony Express

It was a hot dusty day at the Pony Express station. There were no packages coming and the riders were getting antsy. Jesse, the youngest rider at age 16, was re-shoeing his pony, and Kale, Jesse’s older brother, was sitting on the porch watching the Texas dust blow. Jesse stood up, patted the pony and said, “Well Sarah, we are ready to go now.” He then walked to the water barrel and drank a large ladleful, liquid rolling down his shirt. Kale looked at the horizon and saw two dark silhouette’s approaching. “Hey Jesse!” Kale hollered, “I think a job’s a- comin’.” Jesse looked around the corner of the station to see the figures growing by the second. He quickly ate a biscuit, then stood on the porch watching as the men arrived. The men were obviously military, both wearing navy blue uniforms, their horses were stark black with manes and tales cut short. “What can we do for you’s today?” Kale asked. “We need you to deliver a package to Baton Rouge, Louisiana,” one of the men said.

The Hobbit ~ Beware!

I saw the first installment of the 'Hobbit' trilogy opening day yesterday. I was greatly saddened. It. Is. Bad. So bad that I wish I hadn't seen it. So bad, that I don't think I will waste my time on any of the future installments. Peter Jackson took a wonderful, complete, enjoyable story and adulterated it nearly beyond recognition. Now, before you think I am just a purist who despises change, I'm not! Yes, I read all the 'Lord of the Rings' books as well as 'The Hobbit' growing up, and I understand that things change when you are translating a story from book to movie. This went beyond that. I have many specific problems. Yes, that is a stream of dried bird poop on his face. First, they added Radagast the brown wizard. Why in the heck of all creation would someone think that was a good idea? Let's add a totally unnecessary character and side plot that only confuses the audience and draws away from the real focus! It was terrible from ev
