Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

Description

Dr. Alfred Jones is a self described suburban skeptic who just happens to have a vast knowledge about fish, especially salmon. So when a Middle East Sheik who is passionate about fly fishing for salmon brings up his dream of making that dream come true in the dry deserts of the Middle East, he goes to Jones for help. What sounds like an outlandish request is actually doable with dams and lots of financial backing (which the Sheik definitely has in abundance). Director Lasse Hallström (Water for Chocolat, The Cider House Rules) goes a bit overboard with the clichéd "swimming against the time" but the film is well worth watching.tarring Ewan McGregor (The Men Who Stare at Goats, Angels & Demons) as Dr. Alfred Jones, Emily Blunt (The Adjustment Bureau, Gulliver's Travels) is Harriet Chetwode-Talbot a management consultant for the salmon fishing enthusiastic Sheik, and Kristin Scott Thomas (The English Patient, Confessions of a Shopaholic) plays Bridgett Maxwell. There wasn't any bridging of diplomatic relations during the filming of this movie, just an entertaining story well acted out.

The super-smart but tragically nerdy kids go to Harvard; the wise-ass geniuses go to Yale. Natalie Portman went to Yale. Therefore, no one should feel at all surprised that Portman can follow a brilliant and breathtaking performance in Black Swan with a charming and lighthearted romp through No Strings Attached. The bitter and brutal ballet movie showed critics and audiences just how smart, sensitive, and psychotic Portman can become when a role demands manic intensity. One critic commented, "She always has been good, but now we know the woman actually can act—except she is so good we forget she is acting." No Strings Attached proves Portman's range, and it satisfies her concern that Hollywood produces far too few "vulgar" comedies for women by women and starring women."No Strings Attached gained director Ivan Reitman's attention when it qualified for the 2009 "Hollywood Blacklist," a studio executive's annual collection of the best scripts that have failed to make the cut at every major studio. The writers pitched No Strings Attached in a single sentence: "A guy and a girl struggle to have an exclusively sexual relationship as they both come to realize they want much more." Although the plot seems painfully thin, irony, sentiment, and humor alloy the script. Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher punctuate and pixelate the post-modern era's answer to Doris Day and Rock Hudson, delivering a sweetly satisfying Valentine's Day confection. Apparently, at Yale, students learn never to take themselves or their obvious brilliance too seriously.

If you ever thought that Scary Movie 5 is just a sequel of Scary Movie franchise, you may be wrong. Scary Movie 5 is more than a sequel, it's a more likely a reboot. Consider this: new director Malcolm D. Lee (Soul Men, Roll Bounce, Undercover Brother) and new writer, an iconic David Zucker (The Naked Gun, Airplane! – say "Hello!" to 80s' ). To complete the picture there is no less weird cast. Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen stars as themselves while Ashley Tisdale and Simon Rex play main characters Jody and Den, a young married couple in the center of paranormal activity occurring around them. All you need to know about Ashley Tisdale is that she previously starred mostly in TV series: Phineas and Ferb, Hellcats, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Kim Possible and Still Standing. As for Simon Rex his filmography sounds more "impressing" besides Scary Movie 4 and 3 he played Rise, Hotel California Pledge This! and King of the Avenue. So, what about the plot, you may ask. There is no surprise, since "lost footage" and "home surveillance-cameras" styled filming became popular, Scary Movie 5 must be done in the similar way. The story begins when Den and Jody move in their new house with a newborn baby. Strange and frightening things begin to happen in the first night of their staying. Not being able to solve the problem, the couple decides to ask professionals for help. The professionals, personalized in Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen arrive and … you may only imagine what a bizarre begins.
