Proof (2005)

Rating: 3.3/5
US English

A wonderful story with few twists and turns, very easy for the eyes to watch. Anthony Hopkins, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jake Gyllenhaal featuring in this short story. This is about an eccentric old mathematician in his last days, at loss of memory and under care by his daughter. The story revolves around a unsolved mathematically proof which the genius of Anthony Hopkins worked on in his last days. Overall a good movie.
I felt the characters of Gwyneth and Jake could have had more depth. The plot was getting predictable and the characters didn't have much more than related to "proof" to work with. Gwyneth appeared alcoholic, unsure if this was on purpose or its usual.

Bronson(2009)

Bronson
(2009)
3/10

This movie is a true story about the longest jailed British prisoner 'Charlie Bronson', who languished for 30 years in solitary existence. In 70's the only crime he did was to carry a fake gun and steal few pounds from post-office. He got a 7yr sentence, but Charlie being an attention seeker wont be mannered in jail and continued enjoying solitary jail life for much longer period.

I felt pity for the character and its difficult to grasp the feeling of living in a dark cellar for 30 yrs. The film actor Tom Hardy has performed well and is fully into the character. But its a difficult film to watch and not at all recommended, as there is no plot no story but its about a series of repeated mistakes committed by a foolish person. The entire film is a narration, i felt its a very unique film though.

But its not recommended to watch such a film, Charlie Bronson doesnt deserve a film made on him.

The Skeptic(2009)

The Skeptic
(released in 2009)

It's a film that has tried to convince the audience that paranormal, dead spirit and psychic events are true. The main male character is stirred by soul of his dead mother, who expired when he was 5 yr old. The ending was a surprise.

It is one of those million attempts by hollywood filmmaker, where religion is used to influence audience to explain paranormal events. Overall rating of 'fair' with 4.7/10
