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.

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

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 !!!
