            Director  : F. Gary Gray

            Genre     : Drama,Thriller, Crime

            Cast       : Gerard Butler, Jamie Foxx, Leslie Bibb and Bruce McGill.

   If you are a non-american and if you heard about this movie,then you can consider yourself lucky.Even after being a movie lover and a regular movie viewer,i have no idea why i have never heard about this movie.Even my movie loving friends never mentioned about this one.I still can't believe a good thriller like this got skipped from our radars all these years.!!!

    'Law Abiding Citizen' is a 2009 released Hollywood movie starring Jamie Foxx and Gerald Butler.It's the story of a man who takes the law in his hands when law couldn't help him.The man not only targets his actual enemies but also the corrupt government officials.If you read the single line thread of the plot,you might think that it is the same old revenge story.But there my friend,you are mistaken.What makes this movie interesting is what happens after the 'Law' captures the person who causes problems.Will they be able to stop him??.This is one of the best movie in Gerald Butler's career.

     Internet says the movie was panned badly by critiques in US and got many negative reviews.Well,this officially confirms why a movie like Austin powers got so many fans in US.They simply don't know what a good movie is..!!.I would love to recommend this to anyone who love thriller movies.This is a must watch movie.I didn't wrote much about the movie plot because i don't wanted to ruin the fun.

Warning : Even though it is not a complete action movie,there are bloody and violent scenes in it.So be prepared for it.

Silver Linings Of Playbook (2012) (English)

                    Director  : David O. Russell
                   Genre  : Drama,Romance
                   Cast   : Bradley Cooper,Jennifer Lawrence&Robert DeNiro

  I was really not sure if i should write a review of this movie,but then the adorable Jennifer Lawrence got Oscar award for best actress for this movie.Even though some people says she got it only because there was no strong competitors this time,i think she deserves it.May be it will give a boost to her career.Anyway now this is going to be a really really small review,but then again that's why my blog's name is 'MiniMoviReviews'.*wink* *wink*..
      Silver Linings of Playbook says the story of  Pat Solitano who is just got released from a mental institution.He struggles and faces difficulties when trying to get back to his normal life, while moving back to his parents' home.Then he meets Tiffany a mysterious girl from neighborhood who tries to help him.Will she be able to really help him?..And why is she helping him??..Watch the movie to know more..
   Bradley Cooper plays the male lead in the movie and Jennifer Lawrence is Tiffany.Movie's screenplay was adapted from a book of the same name wrote by Matthew Quick.To be frank after the first 15-25 minutes the movie becomes shamelessly slow and miraculously the last 55 minutes gets really interesting and becomes the best part of the movie.Robert De Niro plays the part of Pat's father perfectly.In one sentence, it's the story of a crazy guy, who has a crazy family meets the craziest girl in town.If you really want to watch all Oscar movies,it's worth a watch. Atleast watch the last 55 minutes.Below is a video of Jennifer lawrence press meet after the Oscars which might inspire you.
