Two movies of 2005 you might have missed.

The Constant Gardener

Starring Rachel Weisz and Ralph Fiennes, this is one movie you surely ought to regret not watching.

The performances by both Rachel Weisz and Ralph Fiennes are excellent. The relationship between Justin and Tessa came across as very real and touching and it's a testament to the chemistry between the 2 actors. The intimate moments were some of the most realistic I have ever seen of a couple in love.

Fiennes performance is unforgettable. I would have to rate this very close to the quality I saw in "Schindler's List". He demonstrates such a change from the beginning of the movie to the end. He conveys so much with just his face. Justin will break your heart… especially as he gains wisdom.

Rachel Weisz gives a stunning performance as the strong determined social worker. This certainly is one of her best performance, and considering that she hardly ever fails to please this is one big compliment.

Green Street Hooligans

Elijah Wood in a film about street violence and boozing???

One would probably have given it a miss.But By the end of the movie, you cannot help but be left in a trance.
Elijah Wood has definitely done a class act here. However its not only him but Charlie Hunnam and Claire Forlani who impresses with thier acting skills.


The first half of the movie starts off with light hearted humour and goofiness which fades out into more darker and thought provoking drama in the second half.


Dealing mainly with fanaticism of British football FIRM(supporter's group), it makes you think about the violence, camaraderie and what all its worth.
Definitely worth a watch.
