Battlefield Vietnam

I have watched few movies related vietnam war like Full Metal Jacket,Apocalypse Now ,etc but i never knew why the war took place at first instance ! I always had a question in mind about US involvement in Vietnam War . Were they mad to travel more than 5000 miles risking the lives of their soldiers just to win a battle against a small nation like Vietnam, that too 20 years after world war 2 ? Also , i was reading a novel "The Avenger" by Frederick Forsyth few weeks ago . Few chapters did mention about Vietnam war , how American soldiers made their desperate attempt to fight Vietnamese , however strong their army was ! Americans were rich with supplies , had enough resources but still they couldn't defeat Vietnamese for 10 years ! Vietnamese led by VietCong, a rebel group , fought against highly skilled American soldiers using traditional weapons , dug 200 miles of underground bunkers.
Armed with these interesting facts, i made a search in the torrents to find documentaries related to Vietnam War . There is a documentary, "Battlefield Vietnam", telecasted by Discovery channel back in 1994, about Vietnam war . I have watched 3/12 episodes so far . The narration is brilliant !!
U can download the entire 12 episodes series from this link

Lawrence of Arabia (1962):

A 3 hours and a 30 minute long epic film generally tends -- like Gone With the Wind or Ben Hur -- to keep the viewer engaged and engrossed to it till its finish. Lawrence... didn't. Although the first hour of the film went like a charm, which was absolutely contrary to what I thought -- that I'd switch the player off, shutdown my computer and give myself some time to recuperate from the dullest of films I have seen in long time. The acting by the lead actor, Peter O' Toole, as Lawrence, the entry of Omar Sharif in the film, the sweeping background score and the breathtaking cinematography all added to the charm. But that seemed to get all lost and a thing of the past as soon as the intermission arrived. And that was the end of my endurance too. Afterwards, it took me 3 (or 5, I don't remember) more sittings to finish watching this boring and a dull affair. And I did it to take one more step ahead to complete my tally of top 250 films, since the heat is on. 7.5/10 for the film's cinematography, the background score and Peter O' Toole.

Fritt vilt II

.
Very good!!! this movie was good and nice suspence build up halfway in the film...nice chiils and scares...no gore..and thre is no plot in the movie...but if u have seen cold fritt vitt 1 then this movie starts right after the events occured in fritt vitt 1...the performances are good from the cast..the same female main lead is back again to face her nemesis one more time....
for those who are not acquainted with the fritt vitt series shud watch this immediately..watch both the movies back to back!!
the ending of this movie is good...and we also com to know a lil bit abt the killer...he is goin to be the 'jason vorhees' of norwegian cinema!
.
my rating-8.5/10

Kill Bill Vol 1

A signature Tarantino movie..an opera of death,killing and gore..amazingly executed fight scenes..the music is excellent..and totally gels in with the theme of the movie as well as the fight scenes..the animated sections of the movie were also well done..all in all a classy stylish movie..with oodles of action..must see for action movie fans..
KB Vol 2 next..

The Seventh Seal-Sjunde inseglet, Det (1957)

Plot:-A Knight and his squire are home from the crusades. Black Death is sweeping their country. As they approach home, Death appears to the knight and tells him it is his time. The knight challenges Death to a chess game for his life. The Knight and Death play as the cultural turmoil envelopes the people around them as they try, in different ways, to deal with the upheaval the plague has caused

A compelling contemplation of death and the nature of Man's existence, Ingmar Bergman's 'The Seventh Seal' is uncompromising, riveting drama that is every bit as striking conceptually as it is philosophically.'The Seventh Seal' is a thought provoking, earnest meditation on faith and mortality that is filled with stunning metaphoric and visual images that will forever be indelibly inscribed in your memory. One scene in particular, in which the players link hands and, silhouetted against a twilight sky are led by Death in a dance across the crest of a distant hill, is breathtaking in it's simplicity.

Halloween (2007)


IMDB has some real negative views for the 2007 re-make of halloween...though i havent seen the 1978 original version..but im not at all disppnted with this one.
rob zombie other two movies devil and 1000 corpses wre far from satisfactory...but this one was quite good..in fact very good...the mental make up of the killer mike myers was done very well..the child artist as child mike myers was brilliant in his portrayal of the a pschyopath....the film is entertaining and will not dispnt horror fans...htough i thot the movie was a lil too lenghty (2hrs) for an english horror film...but ill say it was worth my time...i waiting for 2H/halloween 2.
Rob zombie delivers with this one

Love And Other Disasters (2007)

This was my first attempt to detest IMDB rating system and watch good under-rated movies.It is extremely charming little movie .. watched it for Mathew Ryes ( Kevin from my fav Brothers and sisters ) and m satisfied .. it isnt the greatest movie nor it was intended to ... but atleast better than dreadful Hollywoodish Julia Roberts chick flicks .. This film is in the same league of Chasing Amy .. Maybe m satisfied coz i had no expectations .. The things i didnt like : Tango scene was :s and the movie was trying too hard to be different and not hollywoodish, which it didnt have to.4/5

REC.(2007)

i liked it ,it was scary kind off scifi over all was good indeed but yet i have seen better movies than itwhich really scared me my rating 7

.5/10


MILK

great movie Sean Penn was simply amazing to watch hadn't read the plot of the movie although itz was too much of gay gay gay gay gay stuff but didn't knew tat there was so much of gay history before watching this movieover all rating 8.5/10

No Smoking (2007)

This is the 1st Anurag Kashyap movie i watched. Well, technically the movie is amazing.. Inspired by lotta hollywood directors, no doubts about that, the movie is made really well.. it's difficult to understand the movie, the 1st time u watch..honestly speaking, it just went over my head.. vishal bharadwaj's background score is mesmerizing.. dark movie.. nevertheless i enjoyed watching it.. definitely calls for a 2nd viewing.. surprisingly john abraham has done a neat job! not recommended to ppl expecting masala n time pass stuff!
Cheers !!!

Anime Download Sites Review

No comments on “Anime Download Sites Review”

The review is for the following free anime download websites :

1.) www.animea.net
2.)www.anikat.com
3.)www.anime.thehylia.com
4.)http://animedownloadlinks.com

1.) Animea :
This is the largest website with almost all the anime series available.There are lots of users uploading content.You have options to choose from variety of file sizes based on your internet connection speed.You have a variety of modes to choose from, like for example, Megaupload,Rapidshare, Easyshare,Mediafire etc.
To know more about the above modes, see below at the end of this review.
Rating- 4.5 / 5

2.) Anikat:
This is a website with largest collection too. But all the files listed here can be downloaded only through megaupload. Therefore, you can download only one file at a time and a maximum of may be 3-5 files a day unless you have a premier membership.
Rating - 4 / 5

3.)Anime.thehylia
:
This website seemed unbeatable at first as it contains all the anime series but it was after downloading one anime i realised that you can only download one anime in a day for sample and it is actually a paying website where you pay to download animes.
Rating- 1 / 5

4.)Anime Download links:
This is also a cool website like Animea as there are rare animes present also.Different download modes are available for different series. But it is comparitively little slow to open because of lots of advertisements.
Rating - 4 / 5


Review for Modes of Downloads:

a.) Megaupload:
Megaupload is a cool mode to download animes. The megamanager tool is also useful to download files simultaneously upto three files without membership and unlimited with membership. For membership you need to pay them.They have advanced a lot that yu can even pay the through ICICI bank as they have reached even India.The free users can download only three files maximum in a day and not simultaneously (one after the other). You have to wait around 45 seconds before downloading starts. Even if you click, Download button and immediately you close the download, ot considers that one file download is completed and you are left with only two files to download.
Rating: 4 / 5

b.)Rapidshare:
Rapid share is beeter than megaupload but still it is similar features that there is a maximum limit for downloads,and there is no simultaneous downloads, and free users have to wait 90 seconds before download begins.
Rating: 3.5 / 5

c.)Easy share:
The cool thing about this is there is no maximum limit and simultaneous downloads are allowed.
But, the waiting time varies from 80 seconds to 500 seconds which is a drag. And also contains lot of pop ups. But it is the best for downloading animes simultaneously instead of wasting time.
Review - 4 / 5

d.)Mediafire :
This is the Best as i have wtnessed only positive aspects about it. No limit for downloads, Simultaneous downloads are allowed. There is no waiting time abd there are no pop up advertisements.
Rating: 5 / 5

Superman - doomsday

Started off preety good, but for me after half n hour the movie lost it touch. It felt like I was watching 2 different stories. I believe it should have been completely between the two deadly forces - Superman and Doomsday, rather then including the 'Other' thing (when you will see it you will know what I mean, don't want to give out any spoilers alt). anyways, its just a one time. Was very excited when I downloaded it as I though I was going to see an epic battle, but that wasn't the case.

5/5 for first half
2/5 for second
2.5/5 overall.

Stag Night

wow! i never thot this movie will be good...its quite good actually..i started watching it thinking this will dispnt again..but it did not..no dull moments..few gory scenes,nice action,entertaining stuff overall...a hellish night in the subway...give it a watch!.
7.5/10

Crash (2005)

The story revolved around different characters who connect to each other accidentally because of random incidences that take place in their lives. Yet another film that deals with the racism in America and this one was not one bit effective as American History X was. But it was effective in a different way. I haven't personally experienced it, but the people would have surely felt irritated and annoyed. The overall presentation of the movie is fantastic, a very well weaved script and appropriately put on screen. I enjoyed the whole movie except for some parts where it was desperately dealing with constant black and white rivalry which was really enough!!

--

*********** SPOILER ALERT ***********

The scene which straight away goes to my personal favorite list of "Best Moments of a Film" (after a long time) was when Michael Peña (Locksmith) convinces his daughter about the impenetrable cloak. It was really touching. Excellent scene."

I loved the end of the movie which shows the judgment of almost all the characters end up exactly opposite to what they believed all their lives. A very nice way perhaps to spread the message.

Rating: 4.5/5
Step Up (2006)
What a treat to watch! Especially the dance!! I hate myself for watching such good movies so late. It was in my computer since the last 2 months. Brilliant movie! Must watch!

9/10

Transformers - Revenge of The Fallen (2009)

A.K.A Transformers - Chaos Redefined!

Okay guys, let me give you some tips before you see T2, trust me they'll be helpful!

1. Forget that there was some movie called Transformers two years ago. So that you lessen your expectations as a "movie".
2. Watch it if you care a damn about your ears.
3. Stop finding a story for Christ's sake, will ya?! altalt
4. Eat popcorn or have a nice smooch with your girl friend whenever the two irritating twin robots appear.
5. Forget that Megan Fox will help you.


If you do all of the above, T2 is 5/5 for everyone of you.

Okay now,

Michael Bay plays with the emotions of each and every kid to adult by creating a pathetic sequel. Why rise the expectations if you just cannot have a good script to support your mindblasting, fantabulous, sexcellent CGI. The visual effects were unbelievably outstanding, no doubt. But the movie fails to hold the grip of the story. Messed it up completely. There is hardly a week that goes without me watching Transformers in parts. I love that movie so much. T2 completely fucked up!

The action sequence and the robots, the transformation frames, everything was just aahhh!! Awesome, probably cannot even describe in words. But I expected something that would end up making me crave for more. Crave for T3 or even T4. I wanted it to create a landmark like other few trilogies which I still love to watch every now and then.

Till the end, I was literally fed up of the movie and wanted it to get over. Only and only the action and the commendable efforts of the CG artist held me. Another thing that will turn you off would be the chaos. It was really unnecessary. And yeah, Lt. Lennox and the black guy had nothing else than reporting to Pentagon and kissing Sam's goddamn ass! Atleast they did something in the first part!

Disappointed!

As a movie: 2.5/5

As an action-packed entertainer: 10/5

Antichrist - 2009

Rarely have i witnessed an Opening Scene of a film that is so grand opus, malevolent, explicit and deeply depressing that could shook me inside out. In first 5 mins when characters weren't even established neither their empathy and i was literally sobbing. And the movie had just started then.

I love Trakovasky's cinema and Salvador Dali's paintings, some of the imagery and sequences reminded me of their work in a modern form, which is a huge accomplishment, even mimicking them is appreciable. This film was dedicated to Trakovasky directly. But cinema is not art, just a subset of it therefore it relies on other factors too.

Now coming to the bad part. Content of this movie is devoid of any humanistic quality, its depressing, highly explicit sometimes even exceeding hardcore porn and horrific in every form of the word.

No matter how well artistically crafted this movie is, its content is just not profound enough that one would want to go through the pain of watching this entire film. Take it as a formal warning from my side, Do Not Watch It .. Do not Watch It. Sadly I did :S

6/10

Mahaatma [Telugu]

A very good movie.....the director Krishna Vamsi will always create an impact in the viewers...this movie is about Gandhiji's principles....the first half nd most of the second half is filled with complete violence...but he kept telling about Gandhiji , the whole movie......whatever , the movie is good...surely worth a watch....7.5/10

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954)

This movie, shot in the backdrop of 1850 , revolves around the lives of seven brothers who used to live in a country side . The elder one ,Adam Pontipee, visits town and on the way home he marries a girl , a good cook . His wife , Milly ,changes everyone's life at home , teaches good manners to the brothers , transforms them into gentlemen .
Its a musical drama with 7 beautiful songs & was nominated for best picture . Recommended for those who like musical drama !

Blackmail (1929)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0019702/

Director: Alfred Hitchcock

Plot: Alice White, detective Frank Webber's girlfriend, is invited by an artist to visit his studio. The man tries to rape Alice and she kills him with a knife to defend herself !!!

The movie is damn good....I downloaded it 10 months ago...Finally watched it...

The movie is amazing when we consider the time it was made......The first 7 mins have no voice...Infact Hitchcock made 2 versions of this film (Silent & talkie)

Imdb Rating:- 7/10

My Rating:- 8.5/10

Animes review!

No comments on “Animes review!”

The following are my reviews on some animes i have watched.

1.)Ouran High School Host Club

2.)Lovely Complex

3.)Detective academy Q

4.)Mahoromatic

5.)Full Metal Panic

6.)Gravitation

 

a.) Ouran High School Host Club:

This is a very funny anime. It is both story based and comedy based. Watching an episode leaves you fulfilled as if having a full course meal.

Every episode is interesting. The most funniest anime i have seen. It has a very good sense of humour.Each individual character is perfect.

The important feature for any funny anime is that it should have the effect on us, that we may think about it later and laugh about it.

Ouran High School has definetely succeeded on that aspect.

My rating : 4.5 / 5.                    Watchable : YES                Downloadable (for watching again):  YES

 

b.)Lovely Complex:

This is also a funny anime. Inspite of this, i felt this as more of a comedy based anime rather than a story based anime. The anime as a whole was good and satisfactory but watching individual series was kind of a Drag. because i felt like the main characters in the anime were laughing for a second and fighting the next. I didn't understand the necessity of certain scenes /lines in the anime. I was a little irritated that the female character keeps crying all the time and did not find it meanngful.

There was no curiosity as to what would happen inthe next episode but i was curious as to what might happen in the end.Though most od the series was a drag, the final few episodes have been very good and effective.

The comedy part is with the expressions  but not effective enough that i would think about it later and laugh out loud as it is even difficult to recollect what has happened in the last viewed episode because all seem to be the same somewhat.. I might have enjoyed it a lot if the episodes were shortened from 24 to maximum 16. And also the time movement /variations did not blend well.(with only a few episodes, they have already passed a year)

My rating : 4 / 5.                    Watchable : YES                Downloadable (for watching again):  Yes

 

c.) Detective Academy Q:

Usually, when it comes to detective series ,you might not want to watch again because, at the end of the series you would already know who is involved in a crime and the crime is solved. Besides that fact, this anime still backs a good side due to its innovative series and decent presentation of crimes and decent level of comedy.The charecters are also fun to watch and they have made justice dedicating a good number of episodes for all the detectives wanna be rather than being partial towards the main character.

My rating : 4.5 / 5.                    Watchable : YES                Downloadable (for watching again):  Yes

 

d.)Mahoromatic :

This is a soft and funny anime both story based and comedy based divided equally. Very fulfilling series on the whole. They have dedicated an episode for each occasion which was very good.

My rating : 4.5 / 5.                    Watchable : YES                Downloadable (for watching again):  Yes


e.)Full Metal Panic :

This is also a funny series which looks serious. Good sense of humour. I liked upto 12 episodes and after that it was not funny. i also did not get the story properly as lot of information was missing.

My rating : 4 / 5.                    Watchable : YES                Downloadable (for watching again):  Yes (may be not the whole series)

 

f.)Gravitation:

This is a fulfilling anime of 13 episodes but may be disturbing to some. In the beginning it seemed like a drag but it was fine.

My rating : 4.5 / 5.                    Watchable : YES                Downloadable (for watching again):  Not necessary

Inglourious Basterds

My friend and I went to the cinema hall in a rush as soon as our class got over. Inside the hall we were very surprised that apart from us, there were only a handful of people present - a dozen perhaps.

Anyway, when a film makes its mark in a Top 250 list your expectations rise naturally. Though with Tarantino at the helm, I, partially, was wary of the fact that Top 250 also represented a mob-mentality. Tarantino junkies in particular are infamous for promoting his films by rating them so highly so that they enter into the Top list and remain there; in doing so ensuring the injustice made to more deserving films (IMHO).

The film, IMO, from the start to finish was a very dull experience, to the point of being ponderous at times - something which is not so uncharacteristic of Tarantino, though. Much has been written and said about WWII and infinite films have been made already on the subject. But the film was different in a way that it demanded not to be taken seriously given its serious subject. I take the film to be a parody on the German Nazis which was reflected through its very founder, Adolf Hitler. In one scene the head of the Nazis (not Hitler) was seen laughing hysterically for over 10 seconds over something he found implausible.


I guess I shouldn't write much about the film. May be I will like to watch it again when its DVD releases. With subtitles on, I would be able to catch everything Brad Pitt mumbled in that ass-nigga/Tennessee/Texan accent. May be the film is not that bad after all, but its high ratings and the deification of its director in the IMDb forums is getting nauseating.

7.5/10 for now.

The Hills Run Red

no acting,no plot but VERY watchable! yes exactly if u liked Texas chainsaw massacre or wrong turn..u will defently like the hills run red...its like a cross between the two..of course dont compare the budget of hills with TCM ..but its not bad at all....the film has its moments...a few chills here n thre...the film mainly concentrates on gore...its a gore splatter fest..gore and torture fans wud love this.....as usual the film also has its share of nudity n sex...surely a one time watch!
.
7/10

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof - 1958

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is an enthralling, intense and quite emotional film about frustrated Elizabeth Taylor who want her husband Paul Newman to impregnate her, who isn't affectionate of her at all and to top that off the head of the family Big daddy is about to die.

As the story unfold this movie looks a bit predictable/deja vu but what it stands out for is acting and execution. I was engrossed deeply into it, Elizabeth Taylor was looking excruciatingly beautiful. Paul Newman was amazing and handsome, his acting was superb. Its a very good movie. It rightly deserved every Oscar nomination.

9/10

The Butterfly Effect (2004)

Oh I cannot tell you how much I loved this movie. The last couple of weeks have been extraordinary. I haven't seen a bad film since a long long time now, may be a sheer luck of choice, but man.. This movie was one of the best thrillers. I'm already in love with the concept and this film was a great product of it. Ashton Kutcher, I don't think is a perfect actor for such a movie. I haven't said this very many times but-I think Keanu Reeves would have been truely amazing for this one, having seen his Constantine & The Devil's Advocate and of-course the Matrix. There is no relevance of any kind, but I'm pretty much sure he would have rocked. Although he would look too old for this role I guess. Nonetheless, Ashton Kutcher wasn't bad at all. He was good. There wasn't excellence in all the fields of film making, but editing was classy. The movie is not under-rated either.
A sweet 7.6/10 on IMDb, although my rating would be more.

A great movie which keeps you glued to the seat till the end, not even letting you to blink once. An enthralling experience and a well made movie. And yeah, this probably would be the best movie of Ashton Kutcher till now and years to come.

Rating: 4/5
