This was far better than the first tow parts. Looks like the director learned how to make a good movie. Johnny Depp is brilliant in his role.

Phone Booth (2003): Good thriller movie

Posted by maneesh On August - 10 - 2010

Cast: Colin Farrell
Kiefer Sutherland
Forest Whitaker
Radha Mitchell
Richard T. Jones
Katie Holmes

The movie is about a publicist in the entertainment industry who is stuck in a phone booth. Well, this movie is quite unique and strange as the whole movie is shot in a phone booth itself. The main character talks in the phone booth for more than an hour. It may sound boring but tell you the fact it is a good movie and very very catchy. A good thriller overall.

All the three movies are great adventure movies and a treat to senses. It is one of my favorite movies. The movies are based on the novel by J. R. R. Tolkien. The first part The Fellowship of the Ring is just the beginning of the movie which shows the characters, the purpose of the ring and stuffs like that. The first part won 4 academy awards for: Best Cinematography, Best Effects (Visual Effects), Best Makeup, and Best Music (Original Score). The second part The Two Towers shows the preparation of the war. The movie won 2 academy awards for Visual Effects, and Sound Editing. The most important is the third part The Return of the King which shows the war and it is a great one. The third part also shows the life of Gollum, the mystic creature who was once the bearer of the ring. The movie won 11 academy awards: Academy Award for Best Picture, Directing, Adapted Screenplay, Original Score, Song, Visual Effects, Art Direction, Costume Design, Make-up, Sound Mixing and Film Editing. It is the only movie after Ben Hur and Titanic to won 11 academy awards. All the three movies are must watch.
