Jiro dream of Sushi

I have been meaning to watch this movie for such a long time, it was introduced to me more than a year ago from a friend with which we share the joy of eating sushi and for no apparent reason i never got to watch it until two weeks ago.

This movie is amazing in a whole new level.i believe documentaries are in general boring, but when a good one comes out it is a thousand times better than non-documentary ones.

The movie is about Jiro, a Japanese guy who owns a sushi restaurant, a very famous one for which you have to wait around3,4 months to get to eat in. the food is very simple, but it is made specifically for the costumer, one by one by jiro himself. there are so much love and attention that he puts in every little detail of the work that makes you wonder if your whole life is meaningless comparing to his.

He has been working since he was a little kid and never even took a vacation, and asked his sons and all the people working for him the same thing.

everything should be at the level of perfection at his restaurant, he says no small step is less important that other steps, from choosing the fish, to making the rice, making the egg cake, cutting, marinating, making the sushi, everything should be done only in the best possible way.

I recommend watching this movie to any sushi lover, food lover, documentary lover, film lover and anyone else, you can take so many lessons out of it,and get such a good feeling after watching it.

8.5 out of 10 starts for this masterpiece ;D

I should also mention that eating at his restaurant is on top of my bucket list, jus saying

for a good time call

I have been so lazy for such a long time on updating about the movies i watch, well it looks like i have been very busy because i actually have not watched so many movies recently, maybe one every week and now that i say it out loud i am ashamed of myself.

The most recent movie that i have watched is not even close to a bright point in my moving watching history. the movie is called for a good time call and it is about a girl who has a hotline renting a room in her house to another girl who is very rigid. they both have money problems and decide to run a hotline for themselves with sexual experiment of the first girl and managerial abilities of the other one. somehow in between second girl starts to open up and help in answering the calls.then the other girl starts dating one of her usual clients and  SPOILER ALERT we find out she is a virgin.

I seriously couldn't the understand what cheesy point the movie wants to say, but to my surprised it was an entertaining one ( probably too girlie for guys).
I am going to give 4 starts out of 10 to this movie for the smiles at some points it brought to my face and nothing else, sorry 

Wreck it ralph

In the past couple of weeks i didn't have enough time to visit theaters as much  and as frequent as i usually do, hence i didn't have enough time to review what i watched.
I want to start the reviews of what i watched by the animation wreck it ralph.
You don't need to be a video game fan to like this movie  but Of course if you are a video game player you would connect.

Once again i fell in love with another Disney creation. It is witty , funny and colorful.
The story of a nice guy with a bad character from a video game who needs to be appreciated, which is an odd thing for a bad character. He jumps through different video games and become friends with a little girl.

I must confess the movie does not worth paying $13 to go to theater or $17 for the 3D, because it didn't have any 3D effect.


But it was a CUTE movie, which at the end outs a smile on your face.

I will give a 6/10 to this movie.

The perks of being a wallflower

This movie had one goal and it could certainly achieved it and it was being different.
I have been hearing so much about this movie for the past months, mostly from my guy friends and mostly because they were eager to see Emma Watson in something other than harry potter ( i agree, she is one of the cutest creatures ever) .
I got lucky because we have a little movie theater right next to our school which mostly screens what i call "special audience" movies which are supposed to be deeper.
The atmosphere of the movie was a bit unfamiliar for me, because i never experienced that whole "first day of high school, being the cool kid, finding the perfect girl or guy ", and this is one of the favorite subject in Hollywood.

but there is saying that " whatever comes from heart, goes right into heart " and this movie was one special example. I deeply felt for all the characters and understood them all.

As you might probably find out, this movie about a guy who is starting high school and is somehow "different" because of a tragedy that happened in his childhood.luckily he finds a group of friends who understand him and he falls for one of them. All of them are graduating this year and he gets to confront his fears in life.

I am giving this movie 8/10, but i am telling this is a biased judgement because i waited so long to watch the movie and it didn't disappoint me. ;)

Scoop

Woody Allen is one of the few people who can entertain me easily, and this time he is even more successful.
with a whimsical suspicious almost comedy movie about a young American journalism student (Scarlett Johansson) who is in UK for a vacation , and there she get to know a so called magician from US ( Woody Allen) at one of his performances.She volunteers for one of the tricks and in the magic box she meets the ghost of a famous journalist, who tells her that a series of murders are being done by an English man from a famous family.
With the hope of getting a scoop out of this story she starts investigating, but as she gets to know the guy she falls in love with him...
Woody Allen's act in this movie is hilarious, as usual he has the role of a goofy person with good sense of humor.

I would definitely recommend watching this movie if you want something different for a change.

I give 6/10 to Scoop

Think like a man

When i heard about this movie i thought oh thank God, it is going to solve all my relationship problems ;) lol , yeah i AM that naiive. but when i saw the poster and realized all the actors and actresses are African American i was disappointed. Don't get me wrong, i am not a racist or anything like that, it is just different group of people have different cultures, so if it was a Persian movie i would be most excited.
Anyway, after watching it i realized it was a trap, it didn't solve my relationship problems, it just entertained me for 2 hours.

Overall i liked the movie very much. it was about 5-6 different type of relationships, like when the guy is too much attached to his mom, when the girl is too powerful and successful, when the guy is a player , etc. and then a handbook comes out and girls start following it and some more things happen and at the end everyone live happily ever after.

I would recommend this movie only if you just want to spend time and be entertained. and it is going to get 6/10 from me.

XOXO

The Very Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

My sister is my best inspiration is choosing what to watch, she has that kind of smartness about media. I always ask her about books, movies and songs and she is kinda like a media guru for me ( i know it is too much but she is my sister and i adore her)
Anyway, some weeks ago she recommended that i watch this movie.I checked it online and realized there are so many good actors in it and despite the fact that people in the movie are from 2 generations older than me i decided to watch it at our local dollar theater.

This movie is such a feeling good movie, my smile never disappeared from my face and my friend told me i was so happy at the end, almost like the people in the movie are my children ;)

 A group of elderly people who are not related go to a hotel facility in India for old people. And the movie is about how they connect, interact and become friends, fall in love ,etc.

This movie has so many beautiful scenes, dialogues and is full of life and hope that you will be amazed. I certainly recommend it if you have free time and want to smile and feel relieved inside for a while.

But overall i am not going to give more than 6 /10 to this movie because it was not very special and i was not the right audience to it.
