Cast:Gene Hackman,Roy Scheider
Plot: Curiosity of two NYPD detectives leading to an accidental discovery of an international drug deal.
Review: A beautifully carved piece of the early 70s.A great tension boiler.Few suspense movies have been able to craft its way to glory the wat The French Connection did.A perfect backdrop where an inquisitive cop allied by his partner discovers a major drug deal and try solve the mystery with little or no support from the department. If you guys want some real thriller,and not the loud no-substance stylish impossible modern day films,kindly watch this.Scheider was absolutely marvellous as the supporting guy.Gene Hackman gave a performance of my life.But my best discovery was Gene Hackman as an actor.
Well,lemme phrase it like this.I watched a Robert De Niro movie with Gene Hackman being the De Niro here.I have watched dozens of Hackman movies before and have learnt to respect him as an actor,but never before have I felt that this guy is an absolute shadow of De Niro.NO I DNT MEAN HE COPIED DE NIRO STYLE as early as 1971.What I mean is this guy gave me every single feelings of an invisible Bob working in the film.
My rating : 8/10
Well..i had expected big things from this movie..but sadly it disappointed..it doesn’t have a "story" in the true sense..but it more like the life and times of Rizwan Khan...the second half direction was messed up...and the movie kept on stretching on n on..though its a very noble effort and the message is very good...i thought the movie dilly dallied a lot..from the 2nd half onwards....but regardless of all this...why this movie is watchable is because of the awesome performance of SRK...it was just mind-blowing...great acting and excellent detailing from SRK...he is defiantly the front runner for the best actor this year...kajol's role was short..and she was decent....all in all a an above average movie..which SRK stretches to being good.
. the movie was good in bits n parts....i felt SRK over did it a bit at times....Kajol was amazing..... throughout.
Some shots were not reqd..spl. the church one with hone kamyab thing....and i felt script da ws going haywire at times.....but overall it was ok.
I was not really expecting much from the movie.....n rightly so, it din deliver . Srk made a good effort .....but was not good enough ....(again that’s my opinion).
M glad Karan Johar is experimenting with diff. type of cinema coming out of his shell.
In an interview I saw karan and Srk talking about this movie....n stuff...they were talking they wanted people to know more about the syndrome shown in the movie n spreading awareness regarding it.....Well i felt the movie was totally situated around the generalization of Muslims as terrorist and a very little emphasis was given to the Asperser’s syndrome, which i think was a down point.
Over all it was pretty avg flick.
This movie is going well only because of only on celeb name SRK kajol an karan johar otherwise. its nothing like that as it was expected from this movie same emotional crap and this time it was getting over. SRK was not doing that much good acting specially at the point when he came back to that place to save the life of his two friends from drainage ......... but it will still be great for the fans of SRK an for the people who like full emotional drama .....
its not that gr8 a movie that it is being made out to be....the plot, screenplay and story are very very predictable and don’t seem to shock the viewer. I think KJo should thank the Shiv sena for unintentionally promoting it....well, coming back to the movie, the stand out performance is by Kajol, who sails through her role.....Shahrukh Khan has over acted in the movie...i still adore his restrained performance in Swedes ! There are many moments in the film which leaves u wondering about how that could happen....eg. A church full of people understand Shahrukh speaking in Hindi and the start singing!
The movie might move some fraction of the crowd who are die hard shahrukh, kajol and Kjo fan but for an avid movie watcher, its jus another movie....to wrap it up i want to say that "MY NAME IS NOT KHAN....AND THE MOVIE IS NOT THAT GREAT"
7/ 10
Cast: Paul Newman,Robert Redford
Genre: Crime,Comedy
Plot: A young con artist meets a big con man to dupe the criminal banker of the century avenge his friend's murder.
Review: we are not talking about The Godfather.But this movie being an immediate successor of the successful Godfather had surely a touch of it,though unique in its won taste and different in its own plot.
The seventies were indeed an era of great movies,mainly dramas and crime centric ones,and The Sting is definitely one of the best movies up front.Its a movie on wits,the mastery of conning and duping,the art to cheat better.The movie depicted the alleys and poker culture of the seventies too well.
If you have the patience to watch the slow build up of the plots where the plot turns extremely gripping and entertaining in its own classic flavor,watch this movie.Also,he movie was split into chapters much in the way Tarantino movies are seen today.
Paul Newman was his usual magnetic self,but this was a Robert Redford movie.This guy didnt try too much and did his natural best. A SURE WATCH !!
My Rating: 8/10
It is dark and murky but it had elements of humor and misfortunes all over it. And this one is from Australia and obviously an underrated gem in animation. This clay animation if not child’s play because it can produce fine nuance of peoples as well as animals facial expression and body mannerism with very effectiveness and also high quality animation. Story has been narrated as their life’s and others life surrounding them through letters. In movie humor is sometimes ironic and dark. Not only letters but they exchange their emotions, doubts, questions and some gifts often. Both of them endure solitude and those letters became their only hopes and inspiration. Well developed animation which even keeps eye on not so important pet animal’s expressions and their behavior. Also one of the most haunting bgm ever makes this movie a different experience but an upset mood. Mary and Max are two poles apart in many things but the loneliness thing attach them together and thus both of them value each other very much. Their age might be different and contrast but towards the climax you witness that in real friendship only love towards each others only matters.
Till watching this Up was my favorite animated movie of recent times. Director Adam Elliot sounds Greek to me but still I adore him for creating such a beautiful motion picture.

The Collector
Who is the collector and wtf was he collecting i am still not sure about it
seems like he is more obsessed with setting traps than collecting as the whole movie we get to c numerous amount of traps in the whole house which would have taken months to set....add to it a dumb plot...and bad direction.....
but barring all these its still watchable once to kill time

MY NAME IS KHAN
Watching My Name is Khan in the theaters was a real treat. The songs and locations were just wonderful. The story is about Rizvan 'Khan' who is suffering from autism who goes on a journey to meet the president of America. The script was superb. And acting, SRK once again proves he is the real badshah of bollywood, what an acting and Kajol, wow she looked gorgeous and her acting was also good. Coming to the songs Shankar Ehsaan Loy has struck the chord right in this one. The song 'Tere Naina' was pleasing to hear. It also had some good jokes by SRK. I also felt that there was a little amount of 'Forrest Gump' in it.The movie had its heart in the right place and one of Karan Johar's best. And yes one of SRK's best. This is a great bollywood movie. A must watch! Highly recommended!

A Decent Romantic Movie But It Didn't Impress Me
Sudeep, He Is Not A Good Director, But Good Actor!
His Physical Appearance And Costumes Were Worst!

Title Song Is Good, 1 Time Watch Is Far Enough!!
The departed..
Great remake to the internal affairs..
dicaprio was awesome
matt demon played his part superbly....

Chaplin(1992)
The biopic of the great tramp.....the real man behind one of the greats of World Cinema. Famous though he is, giving a new dimension to movie-making, a creative genius at his best, his personal life was troubled and.....controversial.
The movie portrays his life starting as a vaudeville actor and reaching America and subsequent rise to stardom. From the scene he was left at the orphanage(which latter inspired him to make " The Kid") to the moment he receives the Honorary Oscar.......everything is beautifully done. The backgrounds of his masterpieces are also shown.......In summary, a treat for a Chaplin fan.
Robert Downey Jr. acted really well as the legend.......his eyes were very expressive......captures the emotions wonderfully.
The movie expresses the things "The Tramp" wanted to say........but the magic is missing somewhat.....may be that's the tragedy with reality. Kudos to Richard Attenborough though, for this wonderful film.
But in words of Chaplin, "If you want to understand me, watch my movies." and in one of the scenes when Chaplin is devastated by the news of death of a friend ,he is asked " What'll we do Charlie?"......"Smile", says the legend.
