Oldboy
..Oh Boy! This movie is fantastic..In all ways.. Story, Performances, Direction, Cinematography, Score.. everything is enough to make you Wowed!
..well I had seen iTs bolly version 'Zinda' first.. I thought may be I won't enjoy the movie as much as others because I was aware of the plot. But it was just out of d world!
..It's poetic! Every scene is decorated with gripping storyline, visually stunning cinematography and brilliant background score! It's thrilling, smart and engaging! If you want to see something extra - ordinary, something different.. watch this!
9.0/10
Alien
The exceptional points about the movie is- firstly the character buildup of each character on the spacecraft with clear definition of all the characters, secondly the special effects used are quite brilliant keeping in mind that its a very old movie, and the little details that are kept in mind in each scene.
A very fascinating first half after which it becomes sort of predictable, that too because many later movies have buildup on this same plot.
Overall 8/10
Defiance
Defiance succeeds on every level of one's expectation, it is everything it promises to be- emotional drama, good fight scenes, and above all great performances. Performance from Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber are high points of the movie, which transform the good scenes to fascinating ones.
My rating-> 8.5/10
Fargo (1996)
A movie by Coen Bros. This is 4th movie I have watched dir. by coen bros. or either one of 'em. One thing I have noticed that their movies makes philosophical or sarcastic comments on humans' greed for money!! I haven’t liked their movies much but this movie is classic in actual sense!
Acting is excellent especially by William H. Macy, Frances McDormand was also impressive and she also won oscar for Best Actress as leading role! But more impressive thing about the movie is its storyline which is gripping and Coen Bros treatment of Dark Humour which is really perfect! This movie gives you humour with some violent scene.. This type of treatment reminds you of Tarantino or Guy Ritchie movies' Dark Humour and Of course 'Ladykillers' and 'Burn After Reading' by Coen Bros. But this coen movie is best in Dark Comedy!!
Viewers who doesn’t enjoy Dark Humour shoul avoid it, and who do they have themselves a must watch here!!
8.0/10
P.S. It had got 2 wins and 4 nom. including Best Dir. and Best Pic.

Unknown
In an abandoned warehouse, a handful of men slowly regain consciousness, but they’ve been stricken with amnesia and have no idea who they are, where they are, or what has happened to them. All five seem to have been in some sort of serious scuffle; one is tied up, another has been handcuffed, a third has a broken nose, and the other two have their share of scrapes and bruises. As the men compare the tiny shards of memory they can pull from their minds, one finds a newspaper from two days before which features a front-page story about the kidnapping of a wealthy and well-known businessman. The men begin to suspect that they were involved with the kidnapping, but no one is sure if they’re on the right or wrong side of the law – or if one of them might happen to be the victim.
Just an one n half hour movie.. good story line... I rate 8 on 10
CHE part-1
Biography,drama n war all are shown in a quite intense movie very aptly.
Benicio del toro who plays the main protagonist has performed to his excellence.
Though the movie has it's ups n downs , few moments are just too simple n few are just mastered by director steven soderberg.
I think the film just misses few tricks in connecting to the audience who are unaware of Che n the Cuban revolution.
But still worth a watch only for the charismatic character of Ernesto Che guevera.
7/10
HOME
It's a documentary made on earth n the pollution n it's solution. One of the most extravagant visual delight i have ever seen. The message of the movie is very clear n optimistic , the narration n the background score makes the film more touching. One can get easily bored watching this movie but this is supposed to be just that. This is not everybody's cup of tea but still i suggest to watch it to know this planet n to be ready for the future.
8/10
"Time Travelers’ Wife" it's a nice romantic love story but totally fails in the sci-fi part
too much of romantic moments , but worth a watch for loving this kind of film
8/10
''Apocalypse Now(Redux)" brilliantly made war movie , the theme revolves around a captain who is sent on secret mission to kill a colonel(Marlon Brando) who goes insane and is acquitted of murdering 4 secret agents of the south Vietnamese army who were supposedly double agents working for N.V.A
NICE & BRILLIANTLY MADE MOVIE

RESCUE DAWN
CHRISTIAN BALE is truly the most passionate actor.
This movie is totally carried by the man's performance which is stunning.
The plot or storyline is not very new but this time the locations n the emotions are very realistic.
Very inspiring n engaging rescue drama which has it's soul at the right place.
8/10
THE TERMINAL
A simple yet brilliant story told with perfection.
TOM HANKS is just awesome in this movie.
This is easily one of the most touching and sweet movie made by Steven Spielberg.
Watch it if u want to see something different n interesting.
Some of the moments in the movie are very moving n some are truly funny.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
9/10
2012 is an English movie, the filming of which was started in early 2009 and was released in the US theatres in November of the same year. The significance of the date 2012 is that Dec 21’st 2012 is stated to be the end of the Mayan calendar (calendar used by the Maya communities) and thus the “end of the world”. The film topped the box office with world-wide collections of over $700 million and has been nominated for Critics Choice Award and Satellite awards.
Cast: John Cussac: As Jackson Curtis
Oliver Platt: As Carl Anheuser
Chiwetel Ejiofo: As Dr Adrian Helmsley
DannyGlover: As Thomas Wilson
Amanda Peet As Kate
Zlatko Buric: As Yuri Karpov
Woody Harrelson As Charlie Frost
Plot: The film has been made with the date Dec 21st 2012 in mind. The hero of the film, Jackson Curtis, makes a heroic escape from America along with his family against the backdrop of the chaos created by the “catastrophic incidents”.
Synopsis: The film starts with an American scientist, Dr Adrian Helmsley, making his way along with his Indian pal Satnam, a geophysicist, on a rainy day to the latter’s copper mine. Satnam shows him how the earth is getting heated up with a shift in its tectonic plates, and the implications of it. Helmsley then goes and warns the US Chief of Staff, Carl Anheuser, and President Thomas Wilson of the impending disaster and urges him to take actions to curb it. According to him, on Dec 21st 2012, the world would come to an end due to the earth’s core getting rapidly heated up as a result of the sun’s nutrino radiation caused by the misalignment of the planets.
His words prove to be true when surface cracks and earthquakes are witnessed at many a place and car explosions add to the scary atmosphere. Jackson Curtis, a writer, plans on a trip , but is informed that the areas all over, especially those around the Yellow Stone National Park have become “unstable”. He, thus, cuts short his trip and returns home. Meanwhile, the US government officials try their best on how to control all these disasters and decide on evacuating. Curtis, along with ex-wife Kate and his family pack up and run for their safety at the nick of the moment, carrying a map that was given to Curtis by an old person, Charlie Frost, detailing the directions to the location of a spaceship that was being built to save mankind. As the plane flies, Jackson runs into Yuri, his employer, and family in Las Vegas who are also on their way to the ships. Meanwhile Dr Helmsley and the top officials also fly towards the arks via Air Force One. They all witness Las Vegas, Hawaii and most of the cities going up in flames.
Finally, many people from all over the world come to board the ship and notwithstanding the turbulent waves and minor crashes with Mount Everest, many people, including Jackson Curtis, manage to survive. The film ends on a happy note with the ship directed to Cape of Good Hope, South Africa which received minimal damage during the mishaps.
Review: The plot of the movie revolves around the doomsday, which is supposedly on Dec 21st 2012. 2012 is a drama and action-packed film about a global cataclysm that would bring an end to the world. The latter half of the film elaborately describes the heroic struggle of the survivors. The characterization is a bit weak, but the picturisation and the visual effects are skilfully handled. The seriousness is maintained throughout the film, especially towards the ending of the film, with a slight musical touch in a couple of scenes. The depiction of the surface cracks, tsunamis and the volcanic eruptions show the amount of computer graphics used. Overall, the film is very fascinating especially to those who are great lovers of science fiction. It ends with an interesting message to the viewers and to the population at large.
The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button
It’s a story about a man who starts aging backwards. He is very old when he took birth and as time passes he gets younger. Its a bit long film but awesome story and lil touching story.
These movies are really worth watching. Plzzz U should watch them at least once.
Won 3 Oscars. Another 29 wins & 66 nominations
Overall rating I would give
10/10
Memories of murder
Based on true events that took place in Korean from 1986 to 1991, Memories of Murder is not your typical serial killer movie. Instead of focusing on the murder scenes and shocking images like most conventional serial killer films, the movie puts much more time and details into the story, the situation of the time and the strong leading characters. It deals with the frustration of the 3 detectives who are after this serial killer.
Awesome cinematography
8/10
Sin City
saw this movie for the 5th time 2day...a film that will definitely belong in my top10
movie is about 3 inter related crime stories from the point of view of its 3 protagonists(Bruce willis,clive owen,micky rourke)
movie has several characters in it., with each actor giving their best.
the dialogues, cinematography r some of d best i have ever seen...screenplay is non linear so will/might require repeated views 2 get the order.
The movie is made in such a way that u will think u r seeing a novel or a comic book in action!
soo many good actors, good dialogues all packed into 1 movie \m/ also watch out 4 eijah wood's small appearance in the movie as a silent human eater.
Must watch for all dark movie lovers and 4 fans of pulp fiction.
To Kill A Mockingbird
This is a superb example that novel - adapted movies can be a classic!
I really liked this movie because of
- screenplay
- Gregory Peck's performance
- Child actors' performances (oh they were so innocent but yet so mature at times!)
- Soothing background score and cinematography ( in B&W)
- Evolving script and characters which r so unforgettable!
..yoU wilL fall iN d world of its characters and their lives..! Its like being lost in their world for 129 mins.!
One of the all - time classics!
8.0/10
''Joy Ride"(2001)
its about three young teens who make fun of (Psychotic)a truck driver on their C.B radio who later stalks them for revenge, exciting and most entertaining film really a different kind of experience the movie is in the line of Hitcher &
Wolf Creek
8/10
Constant Gardner
It is the movie that i watched a good movie overall another movie showing the world about Africa .Good movie u will be out of movie with a good feeling.
May be 8/10
Leon
first of all,
.. the story isn't great or something! A hit man helps a girl, both develops love , girl seeks revenge to d killer of her family! Quite ordinary!
..but, but, but .. most important thing here is in spite of this it amazes you and leaves an image of classic action movie! Why?!
cuz of superb performances by every actor, Jean Reno as title role 'Leon' is fascinating as Hit man..
and what can I say about Gary Old man in this movie.. He's so great in this negative role! So much original, so much impressing! and can't forget Natalie Portman!
..one more important thing , as I said story is ordinary.. I got to say that script is extra ordinary! It's really engaging.. and last 20 mins. of the movie makes it one of the Top Movies I've seen for me!
Do watch iT!
8.0/10
THE WRESTLER
It’s a film about failure, loneliness, knowing that the best years of one’s life have long passed. Emotionally engaging, superbly directed drama, with a terrific script and a powerful, award-winning performance by Mickey Rourke.
Mickey Rourke has done a wonderful job as a loner
everything in the movie is good except the wrestling
The Shining
Well what can you expect from a horror movie when its directed by great Stanley Kubrick.
Its really amazing how Mr. Kubrick has worked on every detail of the movie, and at the end he leaves the movie open to one's imagination. Of the actors I now know why Jack Nicholson is worshipped by some people. He gives such a stellar performance which raises this movie to a new high.
P.S. - I would request anyone who has saw this movie to read Roger Ebert's review on this movie to gain entirely a new perspective on its storyline
Before Sunset
..to start with. I really liked 'Before Sunrise' .. watched it a week ago, I liked the characters as well!
..but I liked this movie much more! the way characters - Jesse and Celine meet after 9 years and the effect of things changed during this time period on their lives is unforgettable!
..these movies strongly depend on dialogues and acting of two main characters! But I bet you won't be disappointed by neither Ethan Hawke nor Julie Deeply! They r so honest and natural with their characters! ..and during watching this movie , I forgot that it's movie at all. You strongly get connected with their conversation and you just get lost in that!
..It captures the essence of beauty of their relationship! I was just amazed that it ended.. somehow I wanted more!
8.0/10
I am writing this after watching Katradhu Thamizh Tamil Movie in Kalaignar TV. When Film got released in Devi Theatre in Chennai , I couldn’t see it. Then I tried for DVD again I was not successful. Probably, being a good movie, DVD was not available in the market.
This is one of the elegant and intelligent movies in Tamil Movie History. Jeeva has done wonderful job in this movie. After movie “ Ram” this film is another feather in his cap. Jeeva’s character Prabakaran is portrayed in very good manner.
Director Ram was Assistant to Ameer and can’t believe this is his first film. Has the reflection of “ Varumayin Niram Sirappu “ K Balachander directed that film. Eventhough both the films come under same genre both of the directors handled the subject in different manner.
Director Ram has blasted IT People for all corruption in the society like Morality Corruption, Lifestyle Corruption, Inflation etc. Here I am not talking about financial corruption which has its owners like Government , Its Administration and Politicians.
Probably all the Non-IT working people has their own anguish against IT People. This is not only because they are getting higher salary and enjoying all luxuries in the society but also due to our inability in not taking part of the corruption. Remember non-financial corruption is also enjoyable like financial corruption.
But we have to remind ourselves about positive impact of IT Working people in the society. Because of them most of the industries survive today nowadays, like Banking, Telecom, Automobile , Real Estate, FMCG, Healthcare etc. People working in the said industries also benefited indirectly because of IT boom in the country.
In this movie, even though Jeeva has studied Tamil MA and want to become Tamil Professor , society is not giving respect to his qualification and talent. He is disturbed by the other section of the society who enjoys all luxuries in the life , he hate the Chennai City culture , finally he started doing murders for various reasons known and unknown to him. Even though he know English language very well, he doesn’t want to compromise in his job. After getting the qualification, how many of us making compromise in getting the job, within the job , in lifestyle , in morality etc. It’s really thinkable one.
I am eager to watch next movie of Director Ram.

THEEYE 2008 Hollywood
Horror | Thriller | Drama
"The Eye" Is The English Version Of Honk Kong Movie "Jian Gui"
Its A Horror Come Thriller, It Did Not Scare Me, But It Made Some Curiosity
Story Is About Eye Transplant To A Blind Violinist, Something Like Premonition
This Movie Is Almost Another Lower Phase Of "Final Destination"
I Like Alba In Romantic Or Comedy Roles Than Serious One's
One Time Watch Is Far Enough!
WALL.E
"WALL. E" is an animation film.. The story line is pretty good.. It shows the human life after 800 years..
The hero in here is a Robot called WALL.E

I Don’t Know, You May Like It, Try Once If You Want
SHERLOCK HOLMES
GUY RITCHIE flick ..... it should not missed by any English movie lovers .... a seemingly good feel factor is the chemistry between Robert downier junior and Jude law ..... but the plot was a small disappointment in terms of mystery n the solving power of Sherlock Holmes .....guy Ritchie had added a little bit of his previous super hit movie SNATCH ....great movie in terms of its acting n action .....but lacks a good story n plot ......6/10 ...
Om Shanti [Telugu]
There r five stories in this movie.....Navadeep's track and Kajal's track were good....others were complete waste of time....the whole star cast has been wasted....i don’t think this movie needs these actors.....it was a crap!....i still can’t understand what the director wanted to say.....he is confused and the movie is looking very immature......overall , its a piece of shit! and waste of money and waste of time.....4/10
