ZipAZap Recommends - English Movies for 9th to 15th June
Shrek 2
It’s a languidly paced, beautifully made and amusingly told tale in which… duh, love conquers all with the assistance of a kitty cat that winds up the movies top dog. The picture is clever and vivacious -- at times, like the first "Shrek," it seems a bit taken with its own precociousness. But its moments of sheer inventiveness can still catch you off-guard, and some of them are wittily poetic. If you don’t want to shell out 200 bucks on the nearby multiplex to watch Shrek 3 and like animated toys with mature concepts, Shrek 2 is a sheer joy.

Never Say Never Again
“Now you’re on this, I hope we’re going to have some gratuitous sex and violence.” These words heralded the return of both James Bond and Sean Connery from semi-retirement in Never Say Never Again, but more pointedly, they stood as a challenge to the “official” Bond series. In retrospect, however, Never Say Never Again is as good a Bond film as any of its close contemporaries in the official franchise.This is due in no small measure to the presence of Connery, who so fully embodies the role that even a mediocre performance outclasses all other contenders. Perhaps the greatest Bond ever, watch Sean Connery in action- a phenomenon the Indian tv audience rarely has the opportunity to watch.

Star Wars III- Revenge of the Sith
SW3 stands as a remarkable achievement. Every moment is enthralling. The special effects are dazzling and the finely crafted story unites all the dangling pieces. All the nagging questions are answered. This time, the dialogue is mature, insightful, and haunting. George Lucas delivered the goods! The film opens with zest, zeal, a screen full of action, space ships in flight, large, small, bursting in flames, firing round after round. Anakin and Obi-Wan banter via intercoms in their small crafts racing to save the Chancellor. It's a shimmering spectacle of special effects and choreography splendidly set into light. Revenge Of The Sith is what we wanted all along: a chunky, funky space opera spectacular

These moments, richly detailed and always surprising, make for a truly satisfying holiday picture, the kind everyone can enjoy, and which may even restore a little lost childhood in many adult viewers. You can't ask for much more. For the big, final narration, Mr. Tom ‘Oscar Winner’ Hanks himself pours it on with a heart-wrenching, tear-inducing, 4-boxes-of-tissues final narration that made the toughest and most cynical of audience members weep (I'm only human). While some of the dialogue involving a character known as lonely boy (also referred to as Billy) comes close, it's that final scene that will stick in your head for years. So watch it for the sake of your long forgotten childhood.

Starting:
Say what you will about Tom Cruise. Say he's a Scientologist loon. Say he's insane if he prefers Mushmouth Cruz over Ginger-Bush Kidman. Say he looked like a total prat trying to make the Mission Impossible movies, Vanilla Sky and Eyes Wide Shut seem worth the price of admission. But for every ten things about Tom Cruise that you can laugh at while drunk, there's one thing that tilts the scales back in his favor. For every gay porn actor that claims Tom rattled the rim, there's a performance like that in Minority Report. And for every time we ever wished we could see Cruise beaten to a bloody pulp so that our girlfriends would stop drooling over him, there's Born on the Fourth of July.
