The Proposal (2009)

The Proposal is a fun little romantic comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. Both actors were believable in their roles and played realistic characters. Much of the fun revolved around some of the minor characters; one being Ramone and the other character played by a true American treasure, Betty White. Betty was very funny in this film and kudos goes to the casting director for getting her in this picture. It was also great to see Mary Steenburgen and Craig T. Nelson.

For you guys who want to bring your lady to a decent romantic comedy...one that you can sit and watch without having to puke, this one is worth a try. Your girl will be happy you went to this film with her and you should be able to have a few laughs as well.

The basic premise is that Bullock, who is Reynolds' boss, will be deported back to Canada unless she marries an American. So she orders Reynolds to marry her and they embark on a trip to Alaska to visit his family. The romance and the comedy then unfolds. A fun little film acted very well.

Year Released: 1959
Country: US

Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis make a sweet collaboration with Marilyn Monroe in this Billy Wilder’s Film. A sax and Bass Player, Joe and Jerry, become frantic when they accidentally see a murderer by a mob. Then, the mob chase them in order to kill all the witnesses of their attempt. Joe and Jerry, which have nothing but their bass and sax, know that there is a band, a woman band, who need a players which fitting with their position. Joe and Jerry then turned their shape into women, Josephine and Daphne. Then, guessable, they approved to be part of the band. There, they meet Sugar Kane, the vocalist which Joe later fall in love with her. So he has to turn back into a man shape to when he want to have a date, and back again into Josephine when they play on the stage. While Daphne, not better, an old millionaire fall in love with him (in women shape). And there they struggle to solve their whole problem.

The film is covered by full comedy approach, and a great cinematic technique, I love every scene especially when Joe and Jerry run upstairs and came back through the lift in just about 3 seconds, in different clothes and make up.

Cast: James Stewart, Jean Arthur, Claude Rains, Edward Arnold, Guy Kibbee,
Year Released: 1939
Country: US

Jefferson Smith, is boy ranger headquarters who turned out into a senator following a death of a senator from his state. With Senator Joe Paine, the friend of his father, Jeff started to take a seat in the Senate. The Conflict emerged when Jeff wanted to propose a bill that dealing with he use of the land in his state to build a boy camp, which later will be used for all boys from whole country and form outside of United States, in that camp, the boys intended to be taught about the essential values about United States of America. Senator Joe Paine surprisingly stood in opposition side. He later spoke that Jeff wanted to use the land for his own benefit. Jeff is very shocked about this, he later tried to figured out things and found that Joe Paine is unexpectedly controlled by Mr. Taylor, a big businessmen of his state, and the fact is Mr. Taylor wanted to use that land for his own advantages.

Based on the novel The Gentleman From Montana by Lewis R. Foster. Frank Capra directed this film starring James Stewart (Born to Dance, You can’t take it with you), Jean Arthur(Shane), Claude Rains (The Invisible Man, Adventure of Robin Hood), Mr. Smith depicted as a hick guy who came out from his state and directly sit in the senate. Jean Arthur, played as a fierce secretary who later fall in love with Jefferson Smith. Joe Paine was played by Claude Rains. This film is remarked as #26 American Film Institute best American Movies All the Time, right behind To Kill A Mockingbird by Robert Mulligan. It’s well appreciated because of it’s touchy storytelling about the foundation objective of United States of America, the graft which inherently associated with the senate, and it showed how a big business control the people’s mind through the media. Frank Capra (It Happened One Night, Lost Horizon) used dissolve cutting in most part of the film and especially in the beginning, he uses a cluster and fast dialogue among the characters. Well, if you are a fans of political drama, this film is a kind of classical picture you have to see.

He would do anything just to get a couple of bucks, including deceive Joe in the beginning of their companionship. Technically, The Director John Schlesinger (Marathon Man, Madame Sousatzka) relied on his innovative using of voice-over technique and zoom technique manipulation. The prominent elements of this film are their psychedelic section in several scenes, especially in the party when Joe met Shirley. This film also combined a good collaboration between American traditional custom, such cowboy suit worn by Joe, and the urban cultures showed precisely at many corners of New York City.
