Disturbia (2007)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0486822/

Plot: A teen living under house arrest becomes convinced his neighbor is a serial killer.

The plot is same as REAR WINDOW by Alfred Hitchcock.

I watched this movie just to find out how much it is similar to Rear Window.

This was a nice movie...Even though the concept is same, there are many differences...

I liked the ending of Rear Window more than this (Rear Window had a good twist according to me....Not many will accept it)...

Imdb Rating:- 7/10.

My Rating:- 8/10.

City of God (2002)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317248/

Plot: Two boys growing up in a violent neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro take different paths: one becomes a photographer, the other a drug dealer.

After watching this movie last week, I was supporting Rio de Janeiro to host 2016 Olympics..I wanted to see how this people host an Olympics in place where Red Gangs still rule the streets...Now its official. Rio de Janeiro will host the Olympics...

The movie was Damn Good....

Must Watch.

Imdb Rating:- 8.8/10.

My Rating:- 9.5/10.

Trick r treat

i watched it yesterday night....and all i have to say that it did NOT satisfy me....firstly before labelling this movie we have to consider a few things like
1)its a good budget horror film
2) its got known actors in this film
3) the cinematography is really good.

everythng was nice about this movie...but it lacked the most important thing which is a good story or a tight plot!
This movie i felt was primarily a tribute to the classic 80s horror movies things like:-
1)werewolf
2)vampires
3) halloween party
4) the typical serial killer playing with a head
5) pumpkin head (remembr the film?)
6) the music. etc
This movie wanst an out n out horror film..it was rather a black comedy/horror tribute...it not at all scary...but it had its moments in th last story where the old man battles the little pumpkinhead boy....
Then children getting scared doesnt scare me...and then the typical stuff children playing pranks and sudenly the pranks become true..and then no one comes to help...this was very predictable..the werewolf story was reminscnt of 80s horror werewolf films...!! and the first story of the serial killer want scary by any means...it was rather as i said sarcastic/black comedy...other than the story everythng else was nice...but that hardly counts....s

Flash Forward S01E02

Awesome!! I love the intriguing feeling this kind of shows give u.. Its irresistible.. This show is gonna be huge I'm sure.. Fingers crossed!!

And its gonna be addictive.. Damn!!

RECOMMENDED to all sci-fi fans!
Cheers !!!

Favourite Animes of All Time !!!

No comments on “Favourite Animes of All Time !!!”

Ever since i have been watching Japanese Anime, my life has become a lot of FUN.

The following are the list  of my favourites:

*   Detective Academy Q (45 Episodes)

It is a story about an aspiring Detective and friends who solve the wierdest mysteries in Japan.

Very interesting series with full of surprises. !!!

Some series may contain violence, so caution, not for children.

 

*   Mahoromatic ( 27 episodes)

This is a story about an android who joins as a maid to fill her remaining time which is left serving Suguru.

A verry funny anime, note that some jokes contain adult referances, so not for children...

But extremely hilarious...

 

*   Ouran High School Host Club (26 episodes)

This is the best comedy series i've seen.

This is about a group of handsome young men who establish an host club to make the customers happy.

A verry funny anime, note that some jokes contain adult referances, so not for children...

But extremely hilarious..

 

*   Gravitation (13 episodes)

Funny anime about an aspiring singer.

But contains gay stuff so, may not reach to all viewers.

 

* Lovely Complex

and

* Full metal Panic are some i'm watching currently.

So far, so good...

Teree sang

STUPID!!...id liek to pint out 3 things which i felt was wrong in this movie or i wud say stupid.
1)the story
2)the heroine
3)the dialouges of the heroine.
.
The story intended to giv a meaningful message..turned into a typical a qyamat se qyamat tak inspired. The initial boy looks at girl and girl looks at boy is done in a blink fo an eye and from then on everythng is in fast forward mode...wierd direction and scriptwriting..the heroine was the most irritating thing in the entire movie..the way she smiled and the artificial jolly-ness trying o "act" extra kiddish..did not really look good...and her dialogues was terrible...wonder who was the dialouge writer...the dialouges seemed to potray a very straight forward talking "mujhe kiss karo", "mera number nahi loge"..it all sounded so wierd!
.
now coming to the good part...Rajat kapoor-awesome this guy can act breathes life into the character he portrayes...nina gupta was ok, satish kaushik is an accomplished actor does very well here too...this movie is a decent effort..cudv done much much better.
.
5/10

Superman Batman :public enemies

it was nostalgic in a way after my just concluded JL series..seeing so many of the super heroes n villains in one frame again.....here the animation was real neat!...much detailed and more graphic than the animated series...but what is lacked in is the a better storyline...the present storyline was ok kinda...or they cudv made the movie longer...it was too short i felt...just under 70 mins....was hoping that it cudv gone on ...anyway a nice watch id say...fans of superman/batman ...shudnt miss this.....well nuthing to rave abt but again shudnt miss it too..

3.5/5
Surprise surprise!! Well fellas,  I'll be honest and say that I do get biased when it comes to the sci-fi genre.. I neglect other genres if the (sci-fi) movie/tv show is great.. If anyone here is a fan of sci-fi and thriller stuff like "the bourne trilogy" and such movies.. Here's a really good show.. Its aired just 2 episodes, the 2nd was today.. But the pilot is a high scorer.. I've yet to see the 2nd one as its being downloaded.. But the pilot gave me goosebumps at times.. I've loved this concept ever since I gave a thought about it on my own.. And its kinda same execution to what I imagined ever.. I tried to write some sections on this subject, but its really really difficult.. I'm always thrilled about the time travel thing and its always been on my "bucket list" alt of things to do before I die.. Its stupid to think about, but still I wanna experience it someday..

Man, hollywood really know very well how to tempt the audience.. And we do lag behind on tempting teasers..
Try this dish, its a solid entertainer..

4.5/5 to the pilot..

P.S.: Before downloading, I read a few reviews on IMDb, one of which said that its an extract from LOST's current situation and an elaboration to it.. DO NOT BELIEVE IT! Its definitely not.. Both are way different..

I hope the writers don't loose grip on this one..

Home (2009) French(English Dub)

True Romance (1993)

Written by Quentin Tarantino, so it's like a compulsion for me to watch it. Man I love this guy! He is amongst the best writers ever. His dialogues are just so perfect. The sequences and the conversation always go hand in hand in his movies. Directed by Tony Scott, a romantic crime story. Like all QT movies, this too is a different approach towards regular crimes. I enjoyed the movie thoroughly. Its very difficult to review a QT written or directed movie for me, its just so perfect. Anyway, the actress Patricia Arquette, man was she hot! Back in 1993 if I would have been 22, I would've died to sleep with her. She looks stunning in the movie and insane as well. The movie is great, but I do feel if QT had directed it, it would definitely have been amongst top 250 movies. I haven't really heard much of this movie from anyone at all till now, but you should know its a really good movie. The last few minutes of the movie will remind you of Kaminey's end, or if you've watched this before, Kaminey will do that.

Anyways, I cannot say its underrated on IMDb, a handsome 7.9, but personally I would give it an 8.5/10

Recommended!!

And hey, the movie has good laughs followed by a few hilarious scenes!!
Cheers !!!

Bollywood legendary singer Manna Dey got prestigious Dada Saheb Phalke
Award in the age of 90 years, a genious who gave us memorable gems like
"Kasme Vaade Pyar wafa sab baatein hai" and "Yaari hai Imaan mera"...who
bridged the gap between commercial and classical bollywood songs,a
deserving candidate who sang about 3500 songs,yet he has to wait for
soooooooo long for this award.

Don't you think many deserving candidates are ignored year by year?

Isn't it the right time to wake up . to acknowledge all those who made our
cultural heritage more richer....tell what other persons according to you
deserve this prestigious award?
