THE JOKER

alt

.

" D'you wanna know how I got these scars ?! "


- Heath Ledger posthumously won a total of 32 Best Supporting Actor awards for his work on this film, including the Oscar, Golden Globe, BAFTA, SAG and Critic's Choice award

- 'Joker' has become instantly one of the most popular characters in the history of Cinema!

In preparation for his role as The Joker, Heath Ledger hid away in a motel room for about six weeks. During this extended stay of seclusion, Ledger delved deep into the psychology of the character. He devoted himself to developing The Joker's every tic, namely the voice and that sadistic-sounding laugh. Ledger's interpretation of The Joker's appearance was primarily based off of the chaotic, disheveled look of punk rocker Sid Vicious combined with the psychotic mannerisms of Malcolm McDowell's character, Alex De Large, from A Clockwork Orange (1971).

.

alt

"You and your kind, all you care about is money. This city deserves a better class of criminal. And I'm gonna give it to them! "

- When asked why he unexpectedly cast Heath Ledger as The Joker, Christopher Nolan simply replied, "Because he's fearless."

- The Joker's face paint was reportedly designed by Heath Ledger himself, who used white clown makeup and cosmetics from a drugstore. Once his design was approved, the makeup team was responsible for replicating the look each day for filming.

- Christopher Nolan and his co-writers, Jonathan Nolan and David S. Goyer, made the decision very early on not to explore The Joker's origins. This was so the character could be presented as an "absolute"

THE BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE

alt

" Targeting me won't get their money back. I knew the mob wouldn't go down without a fight, but this is different. They crossed the line. "- Bruce Wayne develops and wears a new Batsuit in the film. This Batsuit was an improvement on the outfit from Batman Begins (2005), and made Christian Bale more comfortable and agile in his performance. It was constructed from 200 unique pieces of rubber, fibreglass, metallic mesh, and nylon (producing an impression of sophisticated technology), with elastic banding added for tightening the costume to fit Bale. The gauntlets had their razors made retractable and able to be fired. The suit's cowl was based on a motorcycle helmet and separated from the neck piece, allowing Bale to move his head left/right/up/down, and comes equipped with white eye lenses for when Batman turns on Bat-sonar.

 

HARVEY DENT / TWO FACE

.

alt

" You thought we could be decent men in an indecent time. But you were wrong. The world is cruel, and the only morality in a cruel world is chance. "


- Aaron Eckhart described his portrayal of Harvey Dent as simultaneously coming from and being apart from the same world as Batman (Dent is the white knight of Gotham, as opposed to the Dark Knight). His challenge was "looking for the similarities and the tension between the two; to find what's similar to Batman and then what's opposite to him." Eckhart prepared for his role by studying split personalities.

- Aaron Eckhart enjoyed wearing the Two-Face makeup and warned: "When you look at him, you should get sick to your stomach. It's like you would feel if you met someone whose face had pretty much been ripped off or burned off with acid. There are fans on the Internet who have drawn versions of what they think it looks like, and I can tell you this: They're thinking small. Chris has gone way farther than people think."

- When Harvey Dent's face is on fire, the first frame reveals the Batman logo on his close-up.

Julie And Julia - 2009

This movie is about Meryl Streep's start in the cooking profession which is intertwined with blogger Julie Powell's 2002 challenge to cook all the recipes in Meryl's first book. Its all about cooking.

Not many people know this but i am a real good cook myself. I make excellent blueberry mousse, grilled chicken with mushroom sauce, Two-Cheese pasta salad .. Ok m being narcissistic, anyways my point is i love to cook i love to eat and i liked this film. Meryl Streep and Amy Adams were amazing as usual.

I liked the film. Not sure about how others would feel who are not interested in cooking or eating good food.

7.5/10

Orphan (2009)

Has to be the best thriller of the year after Pelham. It starts off slowly then keeps getting interesting after every scene. The thing i did'nt like was that all the horror movies, be it made in hollywood or bollywood use the same concept of the husband/wife not believing in their partner and its getting too common. And the police in America coming late and also unaware of the action beside them made me think. And then i thought, that its a horror movie and it has to be like this you know. They want us to struggle, lol... MUST WATCH THIS...!!

9/10

Låt den Rätte Komma In (2008).

Runtime - 114 min
Starring - Kåre Hedebrant, Lina Leandersson.
Written By - John Ajvide Lindqvist
Directed By - Tomas Alfredson.

Låt den rätte komma in or simply Let the Right One In is a 2008 swedish romantic horror film based on the novel of the same name by John Ajvide Lindqvist, who also wrote its screenplay. One of the best films to come out this year & easily the best horror film of the decade, or maybe two decades.

Let the Right One In, is a story about Oskar, a 12 year old boy who is bullied by his classmates but never strikes back, but finds love n revenge through Eli, a peculiar new girl-next-door of Oskar's age who is actually a vampire. Tomas Alfredson excels in giving full justice to the novel. He has given a brilliant, dark, horrifying yet sweet, innocent n a very romantic film to all viewers.

The atmosphere, cinematography, editing, score etc is, without a doubt, fantastic. The film perfectly balances horror, drama n romance. The chemistry between Kåre n Lina (Oskar n Eli in the film, respectively) is right among the best ever. Its the action here rather than the words which shows affection between the two in the most sensitive manner. The ending is great, the technical execution throughout the film is perfect.

Låt den rätte komma in is the best foreign language film I've ever seen till date n the 2nd best film for me this year, after The Dark Knight. Its a sure-shot winner, or atleast a final five nominee in the Best Foreign Language Film category, at the Academy Awards ceremony for this year, atleast for me though I really want it to win the gold.

A simple, sweet, innocent yet dark tale of a young friendship, love n revenge with innocence at its heart ... thts Låt den rätte komma in ... for you. After a very long time, since The Silence of the Lambs, A very intelligently made horror film has come.

Rating : 9/10

THE BREAKFAST CLUB

Now what can i say about the legend of JOHN HUGHES. Every time he wields the megaphone he comes up with something special. If THE BREAKFAST CLUB was the benchmark of teenage movie, this movie takes it further. MOLLY RINGWOOD works wonders again as the lead protagonist who is upset because her parents forget that its her 16th birthday. The movie is very sensitive and tries to look at the soul of a sixteen year old girl. I strongly recommend this to everybody

United 93 (2006)

I am so touched by watching the events that occured on September 11, 2001. I can just imagine how the people on the plane must be feeling after being hijacked and knowing that they are going to die. I felt as if im into the movie and when one of the planes hit the World Trade Center, my god, was i left stunned or what. I could actually feel the vibes inside of me. It felt as if i saw it in real. I am not sure about the things which happened inside United Flight 93 were real or just shown for the movie. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MUST WATCH!! This is history and everyone needs to watch it once. 9/10

Roland Emmerich's Movies Always Deals The World's Disaster
So I Am Very Interested In His Flicks
And My Favorites Are GODZILLA & INDEPENDENCE DAY
And Lets Wait For Others Review Coz Movie Juz Hit Today Like someone said earlier, don't expect too much from the story, this movie is a visual entertainment. Its the end of the world movie, so what more of a story could have been made, im not complaining for that, but just telling to keep your expectations low from the story. But, hats off to the effort put in to make this movie a treat to watch. Such a nailbiting and edge of the seat kinda movie, it deserves a big round of applause. My advice, watch this movie just only to see the earth being destroyed. And yea, the volcanic explosion was soo awesome!!

Fuckin Awesome....i loved it....Roland Emmerich did it again......as for me , it is an excellent movie......if u want a great nd intellectual flick , i m not sure this movie will do....but if u want entertainment , u it wil definitely worth a watch,.the first half was gud.. but in the next part story was loosing strength.
it was very clear that director had strong desire to mke movie on Doomsday but he didnt actually knew how to give it a Happy Ending.
Superb!a visual treat!...mainly the earthquake sequence!wow!....the oly thing i didn't lyked was d climax......but still brilliant!..

i wud say watch it ..........so that people might become more conscious towards Global Warming.My opinion this movie was awesome....predicted through Mayan calendar, the world's end....!!!

gr88 video effects.... special effects were ausom...i waz in ghoose bumps when i saw the "limozene drive" scene..the ending too waz nice!!..not a bad ending...good job director!!!!

CGI's were fantastic...especially that volcano eruption sequence....brilliantly made...

All in all good entertainment....!!!

Shaun of the Dead 2004

Wonderful horror comedy-it was brilliant...hilarious and at the same time it was creepy..its kind of a parody of all the zombie films but the way it shaped up was something of a ride..enjoyed every bit of it..perfect for a Sunday afternoon...watch it,if you want to have pure unadulterated fun for 1 hr 39 mins or so..Simon Pegg and the dude playing Ed were just plain awesome..and the soundtrack-especially the Queen track of "Dont stop me now" and the scene that played with it was nothing but epic stuff.

8/10.
it was MU OWN PRIVATE IDAHO starring RIVER PHOENIX AND KEANU REEVES . its about two male hustlers mike and scott who live on the street, do drugs , sell themselves to men and women. mike is gay and quite and suffers from narcolepsy... and is in love with scott who still maintains he is staight.
mike is met with a double trgedy when his search to find his estrangled mother ends uo in a failure and when mike leaves the street life and him forever to go back to his father's house and high society life. ... and that too with abeautiful woman. milke poor thing is left with his poverty and disease and his saerch for life.

Quantum Of Solace 7/10

My last Sundays movie
ok kinda movie. But it differentiates itself from regular Bond flicks
what caught my attention:
1. use of Douglas - antique aircrafts hull
2. a rare use of small car Ford Ka
3. story based on environmental issues
4. Much better -‘hunk’ Bond
5. Two hot heroines

Couldn’t digest:
1.How come a fisherman’s rusty boat have such a powerful engine ?
It ran as if had a Turbo Ferrari jet engine
2. Austin Martin really damaged in a chase- seen in better shape in next scene (Later learned that they scrapped 6 Austin Martins for that scene…!!!)
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People ...
Based on the memoir of the journalist Toby Young, How to Lose Friends & Alienate People is the hilarious account of the fall and rise of Sidney Young (Simon Pegg), a hapless English hack on the make in New York’s media jungle. Sidney Young is a disillusioned intellectual who both adores and despises the world of celebrity, fame and glamour. His alternative magazine, Post Modern Review, pokes fun at the media obsessed stars and bucks trends, and so when Young is offered a job at the diametrically opposed conservative New York based Sharps magazine all hell breaks loose.

7/10

Max Payne

Who doesn't know Max Payne - the vengeful NYPD cop with a constipated expression who chews pain killers like its Tic-Tac and shoot all the bad guys to hell? The New York City Police officer was immortalized by the groundbreaking video game of the same name. With all this baggage on it one would expect the film based on the video game to be a big hit. Well, expectations are meant to be broken.
.
A movie that starts out a little promising soon turns in to an incomprehensible mess that fails to qualify as a movie. A visually appealing flop. A brave move to include supposedly supernatural elements but could have handled better. What could have been a really exciting action movie was totally ruined. Even if it was a mindless shoot-fest, I would have liked it better than what it is now.

Burn After Reading

Burn After Reading is the follow up to the Oscar winning "No Country for Old Men" by the Oscar winning writer-directors ,Coen Brothers, starring Oscar winners-George Clooney, Frances McDormand and Tilda Swinton and Oscar nominated actors- Brad Pitt and John Malkovich. With so many Oscar talents lying around one would expect another Oscar winner in the making, instead we get a darkly humourous crime thriller(if we can call it that) that doesn't take itself seriously Burn after Reading Cast:brad pitt,george clooney....
well the movie has been rated three stars by the critics n with a starcast like george clooney,brad pitt the movie has been able to produce good box office collections in usa.The story is quite predictable n the characters have not been described well.personally for me to watch the whole movie was a headache.George clooney's character was a big disappointment.brad pitt's character was for a short term n not that important one.It was just for commercial purpose.Its not worth a watch so plz dont make plans to go to a theatre to watch this movie instead sit back n relax at home!!!!

REQUIEM FOR A DREAM (2000).

Runtime - 109 minutes
Starring - Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly & Marlon Wayans
Written By - Hubert Selby Jr., Darren Aronofsky
Directed By - Darren Aronofsky.

Requiem for a Dream is a masterpiece which depicts different forms of addiction, leading to characters imprisonment in a dream world of delusion n reckless desperation, which is then overtaken n devastated by reality. It is undoubtedly, the most powerful, shocking n xtremely moving film I've ever seen.

Its a story about 4 people. Harry(Leto), his mother Sara(Ellen), his girlfriend Marion(Jennifer) n his friend(Tyrone). The film is presented in 3 phases: Summer, Fall n Winter showing the progression of the addiction.

Summer is the time when everything is going fine. All dreams looked possible. Fall starts n the characters begin to diminish n die a little. By Winter, the characters are destroyed & devastated completely by their addictions.

Director Darren Aronofsky has done a brave job by taking up this subject. This story deserved to be told on big screen. Its not a movie completely about substance abuse but addiction in a wider sense. Cinematography is completely different from other movies, split-screen is used extensively here along with the close-ups.

The score is a masterpiece, easily among the greatest soundtracks ever. The score n tight editing will haunt you for years to come. The last half hour of the film is among the most harrowing of any film ever made. The ending is, sheer power. The film leaves a huge impression, infact a huge scar which you're proud to wear.

This film is a must for all. I can guarantee tht you'll not be disappointed. Yes, it is depressing, not a happy ending fairy tale but thts what the motive was. Its an eye-opener for those who thinks drugs n all is cool, This film has a serious warning for all. A Must Watch.

Strongly Recommended.

Rating - 9.5/10

THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991).

Runtime - 2 hrs
Starring - Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, Ted Lavine
Written By - Ted Tally
Directed By - Jonathan Demme.

This masterpiece is a bone-chilling experience. Sweeping all 5 major Academy Awards (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor & Best Actress) is no easy task but thts what this classic did. Acting, direction, editing, music, screenplay, cinematography... its all class.

This is director Jonathan Demme's smart, taut thriller teeters on the edge between psychological study & all-out horror & benefits greatly from stellar performances by Anthony Hopkins & Jodie Foster.

Silence of the Lambs is the story of a young FBI trainee Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) who seeks the advice of the imprisoned Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) on catching a serial killer known as 'Buffalo Bill' (Ted Lavine). A major part of the film is psychological more than violent. Still not a film for all ages, coz of the many disturbing scenes.

Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling holds the movie together. Anthony Hopkins made the cannibalistic Dr. Hannibal Lecter, the most feared villain of all time. Lecter is so odd a mixture of intelligence, cruelty, insanity, grace & charisma, n its all coz of Hopkins smart performance. Just 16 min of screen presence n an Oscar for Best Actor in his bag. The game between Lecter n Starling is an art in itself.

The Silence of the Lambs goes down as the greatest suspense film ever. Its dark, gory, creepy, suspenseful, confusing yet breathtaking, exciting n bone chilling. This, one of the most mentally frightening film of all time, is A Must Watch for nyone who wanna see some intelligent film-making. If you want to see a thriller tht will have you on the egde of your seat, then this film is Strongly Recommended. Watch out for the world's most famous cannibal in cinema history. The thriller to thrill all thrillers... thts The Silence of the Lambs.

Ranbir and Katrina are both very good at the roles....yet u feel somthing is missing....Rajkumar Santoshi fails to create the magic he created with ANDAZ APNA APNA.....overall a one time watch movie !!!!
6/10

JAIL

is another masterpiece from Madhur Bhandarkar. It shows the plight of prisoner and the under trials in the jails. its shows how corruption has dug its teeth in the jails as well. It asks question on our judiciary system as well. Cinematography was nvr a strong point of bahndarkar, barring that the film is absolutely a delight to watch. The actors have done justice to thr roles...a spl mention of Manoj Bajpai is crucial....he acts as the narrator and is superb in his intense and strong role. It was a gr8 to hear Lata Mangeshkar after a lot of time....it a good movie and shud not be missed....

Moon(2009)

A terrific sci-fi movie-Sam Rockwell is amazingly good-and there is a HAL-9 counterpart here in Kevin Spacey's voice of Gerty ;)-homage to sci-fi classic movies like 2001:A Space Odyssey,Solyaris etc..
This year has been very good for sci-fi movies-with the excellent Star Trek,the brilliant District 9 but Moon surpasses all..the best sci-fi movie of the year by far and probably the decade..not only was it visually spectacular in some of the scenes,the concept was great..it showed how due to lure of money or otherwise how people can resort to means of human exploitation in order to advance their program of lunar colonization..the ending is pretty uplifting unlike 2001:A Space Odyssey,but yet as its counterpart it manages to do really well.

Warning:-Well,not everyone will like it,people who like action movies will find it boring,same with 2001:A Space Odyssey which is a sci-fi classic..this movie is only for genuine movie enthusiasts,sci-fi lovers and those who believe in watching good film making..in short it is for the auteur and not the casual movie watchers..;)
So in short,if you are a cinephile and love watching different kinds of movies and not stick with the stereotypical types which have mainly CGI,special effects and action to boast of,then go for it..
Rating:-9.5/10-Wish I could give it a 10.It was that good.
The film starts off slowly and as the norm with sci-fi movies takes time in building up and once it does,it is a ride-the movie is slow paced just like 2001 and many might find it boring-but its completing the journey that is important just like 2001:A Space Odyssey-I consider this to be the benchmark for sci-fi movies.

The Hills Run Red (2009)

Poor acting and a bad start to the movie. The story, the acting and the GORE all get better in the second half. Its a one time watch for horror movie fans.

4/10

The Thing - 1982

The Thing is about a group of scientists in Antarctica confronted by a shape shifter that takes the shape of ppl that it kills, it stars Kurt Russell.

I once read this novel by Stephen King - "IT" which was creepy and the cause of menace even though was only a clown but the atmosphere and the ambiance was horrific, it used to send me chills down my spine. The Thing was similar, its atmosphere is quite scary.

What i liked most was not the menace caused by the shape shifter but the study of human nature when subjected to chaos, it was more terrifying than the shape shifter itself. Ad plz dont say after watching it that it was too dramatic or slow, its complete and utter bullshit, no offence. Highly highly recommended though.

8.5/10

Watchmen-

- I tried watching the movie again and yet I found it quite unconvincing. The plot misses the trick I guess by being slow paced and having to deal with so many characters.My fav superhero is Batman not because of Nolan treatment and all but because the character sketch of batman is so human like- a general person with will power and technical wizardry fighting crime can never be unconvincing.
wat to say abt this movie. I saw a 7.4 rating in imdb and went for it.
The intial 30mins was promising but later it began to drag. And also the overall treatment,like the alternate 1985s,the comedian(unsuccessfull attempt for a Joker there) character killing so many people,and too many violnce afffects badly on the feel of the story.
The only thing wher it makes a differrrence is the climax,but even then it lacks the pace and mood of the film.

anways I watched another movie today called the lola rennt or Run Lola Run.

It is very much watchable. The plot is quite simple but shown in 3 different perspectives each with a different ending. An extraordinary treatment of a simple story is the USP of this movie.

Rating: 8/10

Verdict: Watch it!!

Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (2009)

I dont know what to say.....I am disappointed....

Nothing new...JWM-LAK-Namaste London-Singh is King-and a lot of other movies have the same plot(storyline)...............

He loves She.....But She loves another person which our hero realizes after a long way into the film.....He breaks down......An emotional song.....She realizes that actually she is in love with our hero.....And a stupidest climax in this case/movie...(Jesus Christ !!!)

Ranbir Kapoor rocked with his comic timing.......Songs are good....Even Salman shined in his small appearance.....Kat was not at her best.....

Almost 90% of jokes are taken from various other movies just like what Priyadarsan does......

read soooo many good reviews dat couldnt wait watchin dis peace of *&^t

started off well but later SUCKED

i feel dat ranbir kapoor is really overrated

he wasnt acting
he was overacting

the jokes and punches were d same old and nothing new

only commendable scene was d one where ranbir's dancing in a party

katrina was very good..a suprise packet

but d guy who takes away d cake is upen patel

HE HAS WORKED SOOOO HARD TO KEEP A BLANK FACE THRU OUT D FILM
1 OF D WORST ACTORS I'VE EVER SEEN

HE IS MORE BLANK THAN MY KEYBOARD OR MOUSE

YUCK
d climax could hav been funny but d bad background score RUINED d scene completely

this movie was caught up in a no mans land

neither was is a comedy nor a romance and not even a romantic comedy

THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHAT WORD OF MOUTH PUBLICITY CAN DO FOR PPL TO FORM OPINIONS ABOUT A MOVIE

i cant belv this is made by d same man who is responsible for d hilarious cult movie andaz apna apna
(a lot of d sucess of dat movie is coz of its lead actors who could carry out those scene effortlesly..but what can u expect from upen,katrina and ranbir)

all in all a BIG waste of time and money 4 me

how i wish i should hav spend dat much time watchin jail instead

watch it 4 urself and decide]


my rating

2/10(1 for d dance scene and another for upen patel whos acting was being discussed in d theatre itself)

definately avoidable!
My Rating:- 7/10 (only for that Jokes from Ranbir)

Avoidable

The Graduate - 1967

Graduate is about a boy ( Dustin Hoffman ) trapped in an affair with an older women and then finds himself falling in love with her teenage daughter. Co-Starring Anne Bancroft and very beautiful Katharine Ross.

(500) Days of Summer compelled me to watch this film. And i am still shocked at how horrifyingly wrong everyone was in this film, this film wasn't even about love, maybe a rebellious and impulsive kind of a love but that's always destructive. Dustin Hoffman's character was so sweet, so infantile and yet he was able to pull of things that even a normal person would think 100 times before doing it, i loved his character and hated him at the same time.
This is one of the earlier films of Dustin Hoffman that took him to stardom. I was interested because of the IMDB top 250 tag. And this didnt disappoint.
The movies starts with Hoffman coming off college scene(which he isnt interested), where Mrs Robinson(forgot her name) asks for a ride home, and then things start to change from then.
Its a pretty cool movie. comes under the genre of Drama/romance/comedy.

So for all those who are in to this genre can try it once.

Mike Nichols always amaze me with his work Angels in America, Closure, Charlie Wilson's war and now this The Graduate. Amazing film if interpreted correctly.

Starship Troopers (1997), a sci-fi military film. From the director who made films like Total Recall and Basic Instincts, this film is basically a part brainless, part propaganda, part splatter, part etc etc kind of a film which does not require you to use much of your brain. Critics generally gave it positive reviews and since it's only a 2 hour film, you won't mind watching the 23rd century soldiers knocking the shit out of the aliens of some goddamned planet that automatically became smart by "sucking the brains out" of one of the soldiers.

Philadelphia - 1993

Its a story of a man( Tom Hanks) fired by a conservative law firm due to his condition ( AIDS)

Tom Hanks won an Oscar for his performance so theres no point gloating about how good he was. Other than that i found it to be over the top sometimes, exaggeratively sensationalizing the matter was a bit annoying. It could've been done a bit subtly.

I like Opera, i don't listen to it very often but i like it, so for that matters i loved that scene where Tom Hanks was explaining the opera, it was enacted beautifully.

Average movie with good performances.

7.5/10
