I Feel I Came From Another World, Its A Visual Treat
A Colorful Movie, Kinda Blue, It Was Different Experience To Me
Its A Beautiful Imagination From Director's View About Creatures From Another World
Its A Combination Of Live And Computer Animation(3D) ....
And Also A Mixture Of Many Hollywood Movies Including The hype surrounding the movie is growing day by day....the cinemas played to packed houses this weekend...the movie is truly a visual treat for all ages....the smallest of the small details hv been worked on meticulously....hats off to James Camaroon for even being able to fathom the ideology to make a movie like this....the grandeur and the hype carries the film and thr in lies the prob (at least for me) the story was sucha a cliche', infact the story is such that it can be easily used in a bollywood masala movie....Dont get me wrong guys, but for me the story comes first and then all the other mumbo jumbos.....

"Planet Of The Apes" "Matrix" "Star Troopers" etc etc ..Excellent...Brilliant Movie.....i still cant believe that it was an animation film.....it was a visual treat....great movie.....i loved it....for the first time , i hated my city....it didnt hav a multiplex atleast.....i wish i could watch it in 3D.....but my bad , i cant....anyhow , i m going to watch this movie again today itself , night show......it was a must watch.....the best animation film i saw...Not A Complete Adventurous, Little Dramatic Type

Heroes seasons 1-2-3
A flawed but highly enjoyable and engaging TV series...plenty of characters and "abilities " to watch out for...but it can understood its highly if i say "inspired" by X-Men..
.

Season 1 was very slow to start with..it picked up from the 7-8th episode...and carried on well..but the grand finale wasnt upto all the hype n hoopla..it was so-so...

.
season 2- was short but extrmely short wd 11 episodes but very good..
.
Season 3- good but highly flawed season...lot of loopholes...the season ends wd a twist..
.
My fav characters include- 1)Hiro Nakamura..damn cute n funny..comic relief wd Ando..

2)Sylar-one cool son of a bi***!! great depth and some good changes in character changes..probably the best character in heroes.
3)Noah Bennet-Heart n soul of Heroes wdout having any abilities..he has got the maximum screen space im sure...
4)claire bennet-cute,hottie
.
ACTORS-
1)zachary quinto-awesome! just awesome!! wat a sylar he has proved to be...he will be surely remembered for this role of his..he is the next big thing in acting!!
2J) jack Coleman-As i said as Noah Bennte he is the heart n soul of Heroes...good guy with "moraly gray"...a memorbale role...looks subtly dangerous
3)Masi Oka-terrific as hiro and future hiro!! the "Jap" way of speaking english is somethng to watch out for...when in reality he speaks perfectly good english...my fav on d show.
4)Milo Ventimiglia-Great performance...plenty of emotional ups n down in his character of peter petrelli...does a commendable job.
5)Adrian Pasdar- the is character just goes from good to evil to good then evil then good...
6) Sendhil Ramamurthy- As Mohinder Suresh was the bore of the century....i hated it when he ended every show with his philosophical speeches and he really looked stupid!!..the first season was almost spolit by him but thankfully his character went thru a few changes later on.
7) Ali Larter-HOT HOT HOT HOT!!! was good as jessica..evil n nasty!
.

AMERICAN HISTORY X
Brilliant, Outstanding, Excellent. One of the most hard hitting movies i hv seen in my life. Edward Norton's career best performance i think. Edward Furlong was also excellent. Overall i would recommend this movie to every hardcore movie buff........

MY RATING
10/10

The Twilight Saga : New Moon
Yesterday , i saw in MTV that the name "Toilet" would be better than "Twilight" for this movie......i wonder why , now i came to know......boring movie.....didnt like it at all.....jus two or three scenes were good....can watch it for Kristen Stewart....she was the only reason i stayed in the theatre till the movie is finished....otherwise , it was a waste of time.....better avoid it....or wait till the dvd rip is out , then download it nd watch it when u r bored....5/10

Con Air
Even though rating is low in imdb, I loved this movie very much. It was an edge of the seat Action Thriller.

over all its a must watch movie

7.5/10

Well , watched Avatar yesterday and needless to say , was deeply Impressed ! The Special Effects , apart from the great storyline , were Mind-Boggling ! James Cameron is one man whom I was all praises for . After Titanic , this is his best movie !
.
But this aint an AVATAR APPRECIATION THREAD ! The purpose of me creating this thread is to discuss the vast difference between the developments in Hollywood and Bollywood. There was once a time when Hollywood had movies with special effects equivalent to what we have now in Bollywood . I still remember the hype YRF had created when Roadside Romeo was ready for release . They boasted of Hollywood type animation but well , it was'nt much of a difference . Though Bollywood has advanced in many phases , this is one field they have yet to cover .
.
AVATAR has an estimated budget of 300$ Million and yeah it looked the cost . Though Bollywood directors boast of high budget , still they fail to create that magic .
.Bollywood is 1007 times better than Hollywood

In Bollywood there is action, drama, emotion, romance, comedy all in one movie, In hollywood you have to see 5 movies.
Actually in the next 10 years hollywood will copy and blend itself to Bollywood style no matter techincal or budget or whatever, now Anil Ambani gives money to Stephen Speilberg to make movie so it doesnt matter.
Moreover In India the canvas is too big.On One end there is Himesh Actor/Singer/Music Director and what not , other end Om Puri/Naseruddin, Songs and Dance Hollywood actors now want to dance around trees with songs, so who is getting inspired.
Very soon you can see hoe it all chnages, Brad Pit will act in a Bhojpuri Film, Tom Cruise in a Tamil Film etc.
Sorry guys Bollywood zindabaad. Ramsay brothers turned in their grave.
RGV created 13 more thrilling horror movies with more chutiya-tomatic schemes to get audiences in.
Producers thinking of hogging their money over re-makes and sequels just with the thought of a Hollywood actor acting in it.

So when will this gap ever finish ? Have Bollywood directors yet to face such experience ?
Hollywood is definitely better than Bollywood, no doubt.
Do not stereotype Bollywood or Hollywood.
In certain aspects, Bollywood is better & in certain other aspects, Hollywood wins the race.
But if u talk about the special effects department, no offence, but Bollywood cannot reach the level of Hollywood, not in the next 10 years at least!!
But I rarely watch Hollywood films. So for me, Bollywood is good but yeah, considering we've got all the resources, I don't see why we cannot make films of Hollywood standards.

Our high budget movies are equivalent to their normal movie....

Why, there is a very simple reason, and that we are still not a developed country. We still doesnt have that kind of money and freedom.


They invest 100 million in a movie and give director complete freedom.

here even if they put 10 million they will put their leg in between. Here directors do not have that kind off freedom. Given a chance with hollywood kinda resources, i think we have better talent.

ummm.. well to be honest, the budget of a multi-starrer sci-fi action hollywood flick is 10 times higher than a normal bollywood flick.
Just like u said, bollywood directors may boast about the high budget of their movies but still they are nowhere near as compared to a normal hollywood flick. That might be one of the reasons.
Without any doubt, there's no lack of talent in India, but, difference in the budget, different in choice of audiences might be the reason why most Indian movies are restricted to the romantic/drama genre.

Walt Disney, perhaps the greatest creators of movies invested a huge deal to combine a superstar of India with something of what was his hobby in a movie binding with China.
The movie was released and flopped and people called the move/investment a Shit deal/

The superstar was Akshay Kumar after 5 consecutive hits in 2008 and the movie was Chandni Chowk to China. [I can run amock with abuses for this]

If the news you talking about gets in motion and gets stalled OR the movie gets released and flops with these 35+ year old Hollywood actors dancing around like shit on some random Bollywood song with bad ass lyrics, where will the future lie? 2012 had most earnings from India.

So an Indian Production house will see business sense in investing in Hollywood technologies, their way of making movies, get their directors, their actors, punch it with a flair of bollywood masala and I forsee not very far away Indian Mythological movies gaining cult status as Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings.

If we have the money to pour, I cant see how we cant rule it all.

The question arises, Do you really want to see Jim Carrey/Johnny Depp/Nicholas Cage/Any-Random-Hollywood-Actor dancing around the trees?

If the blend has to happen, it must happen with a sense.
Hollywood actors are best in what they do & so are Bollywood stars. Obviously, the comparison is inevitable but is this comparison justified?
Though u can compare "Pyaar Ke Side-Effects" with "My Sassy Girl"
but i cant compare PYSE with "Surrogates".
Bollywood is known around the globe for good romance/love stories.
But Hollywood has set the standards in all the genres, world-wide.
Just like the above example of CC2C or Kambakkht Ishq, Indian makers have to come out of the mind-set, & same is for the audiences here.
Even if someone tries to make a sci-fi movie in India, he/she blends love-story with that sci-fi plot & as a result, the sci-fi plot takes a backseat.

I am taking about future. Now Indian billionaries are buying parts of the world business space be it in any field.

Ok let me ask you a question you r Anil Ambani, you have a production house, you spend billions in Bollywood, but you see there are movies like 2012 earns maximum of its money from India, where will you produce next, Obviously you will buy into hollywood, and keep the profit.

And When this trend gets heavier slowly these two industries have to meet like Slumdog millionaire, Hollywood movie with Bollywood spice thrown in here and there.

You have the money, you have the audience, to buy the technology and get the get the best script writers and actors is no big deal, so max 10 years, I think the bridge will be gapped and we will be at par with the best. ummmm... plot-wise, Indian makers need to come out of the shell of love-stories.
We have experimented on all sorts of weird concepts in the Romance/love/drama genre & still we are going good. But, we need to come out of this mind-set. Why can't we have more murder mysteries or animations or fantasies or thrillers?
The European Cinema, British & French movies mainly, have been exposed to all these genres years ago. But Bollywood is still waiting for the exposure to happen.
But Bollywood has a stereotypical image world-wide. We need to come out of that image.
The day we break this image, will be the day when u'll see Hollywood stars working side-by-side with Bollywood stars in a sci-fi flick.

Will Smith on his visit to India(around the release of Hancock) said "i desperately want to star in an Indian movie but Bollywood producers cannot afford the concept that i have in my mind

Kung-Fu Panda
Po: My tinders(when his male specific organ gets hurt)

Chandni Chowk To China
Sidhu: mere akhrot(same scene. ditto)

Since then, i started hating Akshay Kumar X-(

USA is more than 10 years ahead of India in technology, so the gap will still remain unless Indian government don't force youth to leave India owing to the lack of support and corruption from their side.
According to bollywood history, what we have seen so far has been disappointing
in terms of story, technical aspect
what'll happen in future, only future can tell
but fortunately some people are trying to change the scenario
anurag kashyap, dibakar banerjee n forgive me whose name i can't remember now
at least on the concept basis
cause this is a well known fact hollywood is far ahead in the technical department
but plot wise also Indian film industry is lagging to european cinema
Most of the animation models are outsourced from India btw as India itself lacks a good production house

What Say !

will continue later

Seven Pounds
I thought it was a very complicated and slow movie. I am yet to understand a few incidents. Will Smith acted quite well though and pulled alone.
6 on 10.

I Stand Alone
Very ordinary. I found nothing great. Probably the subtitles missed some good punchline, but I would not recommend it.

Fight Club
"First Rule: Do Not Talk About Fight Club"

fight club is awesome man... oops!!!!

"Second Rule: Do Not Talk About Fight Club"

8.5/10!!!!!!!

Lord Of War
i'm so happy 2day coz ive watched 2 awesome movies... Lord Of War & Fight Club!!

Well, Lord Of War is wonderful. The movie is based on true events ie arms dealing and all that. Nicholas Cage has done a neat job. Cinematography is top-notching.

I'm not so good in typing a lengthy review!! I'm trying!!

anyways... its a must watch!!!!!

8/10

city of ember
surprisingly good!! i dont know how these hollywood ppl make such muvies completly out of their imagination. its fantastic.
The story goes like..... a city of ember is built underground beneath the earth surface protecting mankind. n then the muvi is abt how 2 kids escapes that city after 200 years.

its a good one.

i rate 9/10

Body of Lies
well... after watching lotts of muvies based on middle-east countrie, this one is no different. it boasts of superb starcast though, leonardo, russel crowe. However the plot is very similar. leonardo repeats his 'ground soldier' kinda act tat he has done in all his recent muvies. The muvi is still watchable and for ppl wu r new to such plots wuld actually love it.

i rate 6.5/10.

goodfellas[1990]
hmmm... evrytime i watch a ganster muvi of 1950s of America, i get lost in tat world. its so intimidating. the effects lasts long after the muvi ends. i dnt wanna say anythign abt the muvi i thnk it will reveal the plot. i liked it n wuld watch it again. it feels getting like one more dose of it.

i rate 9/10

Days of Heaven
Terrance Malick is an artist. The movie is a work of art. …fabulous cinematography, enchanting score, amazing performances … definitely a visual feast....

9/10 in my book

Legends of the Fall

I love this film. If anyone hasn't seen it, it's a must watchable film ! I loved the background scrore in this film. It's done by James Horner, he did background score for Titanic as well. And there are quite few beautiful scenes in this film as well !

My rating 7.8/10

In Bruges
The movie is about two hitmen who are asked to visit the city of Bruges after one of the kills.

One can't place this movie in any particular genre as it spans across many like drama, comedy, tragedy etc. It has great dialogues and performances and background score and storyline is very different which hooks u till the end. Most of the cast is from Harry Potter 4 which does a great job.

I would rate it 9.5/10

Barah Anna
I quite liked this movie. Not much realistic, but some brilliant performance by two veterans. The lady actors almost spoiled the movie though by poor acting.

6.5 on 10.

REQUIEM FOR A DREAM

A tough n meaty piece of work by director Darren Aronofsky. One of the most powerful n shocking films of all time. The film's score n editing will haunt you for long. With its unflinching dissection of addiction, Requiem For A Dream is a psychologically disturbing, visually captivating depiction of lost hope. The last half hour of the film is among the most harrowing of any film ever made. A very important film for all, specially youth, in my opinion.
Rating - 9/10.


SCHINDLER'S LIST

Based on a true story, SCHINDLER'S LIST is Steven Spielberg's epic drama of World War II Holocaust survivors and the man who unexpectedly came to be their savior. Great performances, classic cinematography n a haunting score, this glorious film by Spielberg is wondrously evocative, visually stunning, and emotionally stirring. This is Steven Spielberg's real masterpiece. One of the most honoured films of all time... must for any cinema lover.
Rating - 9.5/10.


SAVING PRIVATE RYAN

You won't EVER get to see a more shocking, thrilling, exciting, surprising n powerful beginning of a film than this one. The first 25 minutes of this film simply takes you to World War II.. LIVE. But, In between the first 25 minutes n last 30 minutes, the film never picks up itself but loses... Exclude the Ohama beach battle n u got a very very mediocre film. Steven Spielberg starts great but after tht, he lets the film go. Still, its watchable... the opening is so strong tht u simply dont feel like leaving ur seats n the end makes it a satisfying film anyway.
Rating - 7/10

FIGHT CLUB

One of the most unique films of the late 20th century, FIGHT CLUB is a pitch-black comedy of striking intensity. Outstanding performances by Norton and Pitt are supported by a razor-sharp script and an arsenal of stunning visual effects that include computer animation and sleight-of-hand editing. Solid acting, amazing direction, and elaborate production design make Fight Club a wild ride. One of my all time fav films now... this is, The Greatest Kickass Movie Ever, period. Still, this film aint for all.. you'll either love it immensely OR hate it very much coz you didnt get it.
Rating - 10/10.


OLDBOY

Terrific but Shocking too. Great but controversial too. Violent but emotional too. This film deals with a really bold subject and in the end, leaves the ending to the audience to interpret. One of Asia's best films. Zinda is its shameless copy... a complete rip-off, including the dialogues, though the relevation of the secret is different in both these films. Had the relevation of the secret in Zinda was same as Oldboy, it might've got banned. The last scene of Oldboy is perhaps, one of the most heart-wrenching scene in movie history, in my opinion.
Rating - 7/10.


CITY OF GOD

One of the best contemporary films of the decade, City of God is a marvel. A shocking and disturbing, but always compelling look at life in the slums of Rio de Janiero. Director Fernando Meirelles combines visual flashiness with dark history in telling the story of three decades of unrest in underground Rio de Janiero. Technically flawless, the Brazilian film uses a rapid-cutting style to flash back and forth in time. A highly recommended film to watch, but not recommended for the over-sensitive or easily distressed. One of my favourite foreign language films.
Rating - 8.5/10.

ALIEN

Director Ridley Scott's breakthough film, an immensely successful blend of horror & science fiction, is a classic in both genres & spawned a host of sequels & imitators. A triumph of art direction, set design, & special effects, ALIEN gains much of its impact from the contrast between the bleak, antiseptic beauty of the space vessel's interior & the primordial horror of the alien, a brilliantly original fusion of insect, man & machine. What makes Alien unique is its slow building suspense tht once, burst out, there is no looking back again. This is one among the top 3 films of horror genre in my list.
Rating - 8.5/10.


ALIENS

While Alien was a marvel of slow-building, atmospheric tension, Aliens (sequel of Alien) packs a much more visceral punch and features a typically strong performance from the cast. Considered by many to be the best of the series, ALIENS is a fast-paced, high-intensity thrill ride that set a new standard for action films. It is everything that a sequel should be. This is James Cameron's first and very successful effort with horror films. Two of my top 3 horror films are Alien & Aliens and this one is better than the original. Alien was pure horror, Aliens adds action to it, resulting in WAR.
Rating - 8.5/10.


PULP FICTION

Hailed by critics n audiences worldwide as the star-studded motion picture that redefined cinema in the 20th century. A work of blazing originality by Quentin Tarantino. A work that changed the face of independent cinema forever, making it a legitimate player in the Hollywood mainstream, Pulp Fiction is a wildly entertaining n exhilarating motion picture adventure that both thrills n amuses. It is still a landmark in its genre. Great performance by John Travolta, even better by Samual L.Jackson n short but sizzling n completely electrifying by Uma Thurman. The biggest plus point of this film is its screenplay... greatest of the 90s .
Rating - 9/10

KING KONG

Director Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) brings his sweeping cinematic vision to King Kong, the iconic story of the gigantic ape captured in the wild and brought to civilization where he meets his tragic fate. Everything about director Peter Jackson's King Kong update is bigger than the 1933 original. That's too say, the film is longer, more technically elaborate &, by today's standards, more exciting than the original film. King Kong is one of the most pulse-pounding & heart-stirring romantic adventure of the decade. The only complain... wish the dinosaurs & other creatures were more realistic.
Rating - 8.5/10.


SATYA

Ramgopal Varma’s hard hitting film on the Bombay Underworld. This movie was made with a view to hit the viewer right between the eyes & it succeeds admirably. This movie is a classic from scene one to the climax. The direction, action, screenplay, editing, camerawork & lastly the superb acting by the entire cast was mindblowing. All in all you should not miss this movie if you consider yourself a cinema buff. India's best gangster film.
Rating - 8/10.


ROCKY BALBOA

After 4 average sequels(Rocky II,III,IV,V) lowered the class of the original masterpiece Rocky, finally comes one film tht can match the original... the final chapter of the iconic character, Rocky Balboa. 1st film was made to convey something... the next 4 parts were purely for commercial success, but this one was made with the same mindset of the 70s Rocky... to convey a message. Easily, the best in the series after the original but most realistic as well when it comes to Boxing... this movie is another very important film, IMO. 2 great sequencing, specially the 1 b/w Rocky n his son... is very very inspiring. Sylvester Stallone is back to give Rocky... one last shot n he did it... He hits the jackpot.

coraline.........

i would rate it 9/10

This movie is a stunning visual delight. It uses stop motion animation to complete perfection and i was in awe of the visuals of this movie. I think it is based on a horror novel or something ( I'm not so sure about that). It has got a tremendous voice over cast with dakota fanning leading the pack. Infact the voice over of dakota fanning is one of the high points of this movie along with its rich gothic kinda visuals and a fascinating ( very sinister) story. This movie reminds me of those Tim burton movies like "The nightmare before christmas" and "corpse bride". So if u like Tim Burton Movies then i would say..... give this movie a definite go...u wouldn't be disappointed at all.


Psycho [1960]

Undoubtedly the most popular movie created by the genius Hitchcock, Psycho is a masterpiece from all aspects of film making, be it the plot, screenplay, cinematography, sound and above all direction. It is a very intelligent thriller and keeps the viewer engaged and enthralled
until the last frame.

The plot revolves around a highway motel and it's caretaker and owner Norman Bates, his sick and somewhat spooky mother, a woman who steals large amount of money from her employer to improve her love life with her boyfriend and who comes to stay at this Bates motel .
The proceedings that follow are extremely interesting and enthralls the viewer.
We get to see perhaps one of the best murder scenes ever shot in cinematic history, the famous shower murder of the lady who stays in the motel .
The protagonist of the movie Norman Bates character has been very well written and performed by the actor concerned as well. Sometimes we as an audience feel pity and sorry for him and after knowing his mental condition, this feeling increases even more.

In short, Psycho is one of the milestones of this particular thriller genre. Many thriller movies either based on this or influenced by this have come in many large numbers, but the charm and the greatness of this particular movie will remain in the minds of cinema lovers for eternity.
Rating : 9/10

American History X [1998]
To start off, this was an extremely controversial movie when it was released.
Maybe because of the racist, anti-black, anti-immigration, anti-Jewish, anti-Asian, anti-
Hispanic etc etc remarks made continuously in the movie. This movie is actually divided into two parts and has a non-linear style of narration. The two parts being the flashback and the current scenario. The director has interestingly given a different look to both the parts with the help of colors. The flashback is depicted by black and white frames while the current part is depicted by normal color.

The movie contains violence, sometimes very gory violence that may turn your eyes off the screen. It contains some statements which you may not agree with. But as a movie, it is a complete experience. The transition of the protagonist from a racial, neo-nazi skinhead to a caring, understanding guy who understands that it is not the color that determines a person, but his nature is put very underminingly by the director. His urge to stop his brother from going his way and spoil his life is depicted wonderfully. The part of the story in jail where Norton understands that he is wrong and has a radical transformation was done without preaching and high melodrama which is the case with many other movies.

On the acting front, Edward Norton is anyways one of my favorite actors and in this movie all his acting prowess is put to the test and without any surprise he delivers .
All the other actors especially Edward Furlong fit the bill perfectly .
In short Controversial but a must watch

Yet another romantic comedy, with many not so hilarious moments... however Renee's perfomance and light humorous moments laced throughout the film makes it very watchable. Hugh Grant comes as his usual womanizer role(God i hate him)...thankfully he ends up like a villain....

Verdict : WORTH A WATCH

Rating : 3.5 / 5

Bikur Ha-Tizmoret
aka The Band's Visit
This is an Israeli movie which was a real treat 2 watch
its genre is comedy but it doesn’t try too hard to make u laugh
its simplicity is what makes this movie sooo entertaining
all d Israeli actors have given a flawless performance
The story is about an Egyptian police force band who r in d wrong town by mistake and have 2 spend a night in d town where there’s no hotel..
The awkwardness of d characters is what brings comedy in this movie
The movie may seem a little slow and dull sometime but its short duration(90mins) is what makes up 4 it and doesn’t drag d movie
The best part is that most of d conversation in this movie is in English in spite of being an Israeli movie..
My rating 8/10(d end did not convince me)

a must watch.
