in a lonely place
starring-humphray bogart,gloria grahamme
Cynical screenwriter Dixon Steele (Humphrey Bogart) is prime suspect for murder of a young girl he took to his apartment to do some reading for him.
Laurel Gray (Gloria Grahame), the woman living in the opposite apartment, clears him off the charges before striking a love affair with him.
Yet somewhere in the back of her head, she can't wipe out the suspicion that Steele might be really the killer.
Nicholas Ray handles with absolute expertise the atmosphere of creating paranoia .
Solid performances by both bogart and grahamme.
Short, compact and to the point, IN A LONELY PLACE is definitely a must watch for all film-noir lovers.
my rating-8/10
The Boy in Stripped Pyjamas
The performances are pretty good especially the kids are awesome.
Still the movie does not reach that intesity.
The view of germans n their cruelity is shown in a distinct manner.
The relationship between son-mother, husband wife all r crafted well.
Overall a very good movie.
7.5/10(I liked Kite Runner more in the same genre)
body heat
actor-william hurt,kathleen turner,richard crenna,mickey rourke.
Body Heat is more than slightly predictable up until the last ten minutes where it creates some surprising twists and turns and that shocks you.
It started almost a new genre of films.
The dialogue is impressive .
William Hurt is very gud in the roll that made him famous.
Kathleen Turner looks gud and delivers well too but it could have been much better.
The supporting performances are quiet gud specially of richard crenna"s who makes a great impact on his short role..
the direction at times were plain mediocre but was very impressive in some scenes,specially at the endings.
on a whole,a gud film,could have been great if more efforts were put.
my rating-7.5/10
Boys Don't Cry
Rating - 9/10.
the contender
starring-gary oldman,jeff bridges.
The Contender is an engaging political mystery.
It takes some predictable and some unpredictable twists and turn .
where as many political thrillers have flawed endings,this one too have that as well.
gary oldman was great,he was the best in this film,he overshadowed the others easily in this movie.
jeff bridges was impressive,specially at the endings but at some scenes,he was just okish.
rest actors were competent enough.
overall a gud film,nothing special or watever but decent one.
my rating-7/10.
angel heart
starring-mickey rourke,lisa bonet,robert de-niro.
Harry Angel (a very young Mickey Rourke) is called by Louis Cyphre (Robert De Niro) to track down a man named Johnny Favorite.
While on the case, Harry discovers that he really had no idea what he was getting himself into.
The acting varies. Mickey Rourke is terrific as Angel, although the script has him act flawed in some cases.
He's a guy we can immediately root for.
de-niro was impressive in his small role.
My complaints about "Angel Heart" would be less if the film was suspenseful, scary, or for that matter, interesting.
Unfortunately, it is none of those things.
The approach (the film will only work when it is pieced together after the credits have begun )that director Alan Parker took with the project is not a bad idea from the begining.
Sadly, Parker is unable to keep the audience very involved, and that's a big problem.
MY RATING-6/10
I know, a lot of members would be surprised by that, because usually I dont recommend movies to anyone. But, this movie dosent need to be missed!!
After watching the movie, you'll get to know that this movie is made keeping in mind a particular audience, which we , atleast I definitely am.
Alice in the wonderland
i give it 6/10!
Director : Frank Capra
Cast : Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert, Walter Connolly, Jameson Thomas, Roscoe Karns
Frank Capra is widely regarded as a revolutionary director and this movie constitutes substantially to this tag. 'It happened one Night' was the first movie of it's kind way back in the 30's where romantic comedies were yet to be born. This is considered as the first major romantic comedy in Hollywood history. Add to it, it was the first ever 'Screwball comedy' movie. Yup, this was actually a new genre invented by Capra. After reading some trivia about the movie, I came to know that the leads Gable and Colbert hated the script so much that they wanted to get over with the movie as soon as possible. Actually, the story of this movie is so simple that it can be explained in a paragraph. But the story-teller that Capra is, this simple story is converted into a very lovable and feel good rom-com which never ceases to amaze you. The movie is full of cliches such as a rich spoilt girl falling in love with a not so wealthy guy and the girl running away from her marriage once she realizes her true love etc etc. But one must also consider the time when this movie was made. Perhaps, this was the first bride runway from marriage scene of cinema history. This movie also influenced a lot of other artists and filmmakers. The cartoon Bugs Bunny is influenced by one of the characters from this movie. Bollywood influence being 'Dil Hai Ki Maanta Nahi'.

hotel rwanda
there are two sects of people in rwanda one are the hutus and the other the tutsis..the hutu president got murdered by tutsi rebels and the hutu leadership ordered a mass killing of all tutsis in the country,millions of tutsis were killed by the end of the genocide..the movie is filled with ghastly scenes and cruelty...and is very gripping...the lead role is played by don cheadle who does a brilliant job!!the political interconnections between the UN and the local forces and other european nations are also very well shown!!!
it is an african shlinder's list!!
9/10
hurt locker
it is basically a story of a bomb squad,and how things work in it,it is probably one of the most risky jobs in the world,there is a constant fear of death but it does not stop the bomb defusers to be any less passionate about their jobs!!
the whole movie is shot in such a way as to give a documentary feel,and it really works,a few wonderful sniper fights are also shown,and it also delves into the personal lives of the soilders and the relation between each other!!!
i think this can be a real contender for the oscars this year!!
9/10
3-Idiots
Simply awesome. Full marks to raju hirani n abhijat joshi. The way they have changed the story worths lots of praise. It deals with all types of cynical views of our education system in a comical manner. After a long time we witnessed a big movie made on the current issue of students. Aamir khan is a genius n he proves why it is said the success is his other name.
But special mention of Kareena Kapoor she has done her part so beautifully. She looks convincing n so sweet. Next is Sharman Joshi, he is just perfect to play this short of role. Boman Irani is born to play virus.
Music goes so well on the screen n the dialogues are awesome. Still i did nt get the concept of a infant kicking after hearing all izz well. Still that can be neglected.
Its a fun ride n it teaches u a lot of things.
I can give u 100 reasons to watch it though dnt expect it to be a Rang de or Munnabhai MBBS.
Its a different movie n must be given a different status.
.its not as good as hirani's earlier works..the comedy is top notch ..but it is'nt well complemented by a supportive storyline..as i said the film just fails to have a sensible storyline in the second half..
the most foolish and stupid scene in the movie has to be the climax where aamir delivers a baby..wtf ?is he god ..he seems to be omniscient .
rgding the controversy i can say that chetan bhagat can be accused of really vying for publicity and money..except for the characters and the basic premie ..everything is different.3 idiots is TOTALLY DIFFERENT from 5. some1 interms of screenplay..the resemblance is only 5-10 %..not 80 %as he claims..
overal 3 IDIOTS is a strictly 1 time watch..
