Damned United



IMDB

It was a few months back when I saw this movie and I still remember how badly I was searching for something related to fantasy (for DAMNED). Then I found out that this was more of a real story than a fantasy. And it definitely was worth watching. There is a very fine line between getting success and being successful, and this is what this movie portrays through a real story that happened in the football fields.
A coach (Michael Sheen) who successfully taught his local (native) team and made them rise in the game of football especially by training them to use no bad maneuvers in the game, faces a challenge of being the coach of a morally dead though number one football team, The Leeds United ..
He fails utterly which breaks him down to his heart.
I am sure you will love it too..

7.5/10

Boogie Nights



You wouldn't have imagined the Planet of Apes star -Mark Wahlberg to be starring in a porn movie.. the thing is he did! Though its not a porn movie actually or directly, it IS a movie about porn and porn stars.. And believe me you will find all that you can imagine to find in a movie about porn .. it was beautiful and really described the life of a possible porn star..

a must watch..

8/10

Outlaw



Well, for a moment I wanted to join their league too..
So it was all about finding yourself running from the mere idea of FACING the problems. We are afraid to face the problems on our own mostly and blame the system or just crib about it..
Here one person, Bryant (Sean Bean - remember Boromir from LOTR) realizes that there is something wrong going on around us.. and finds himself helping several similar people. Although, the theme has been repeated and has already been put in a much stronger way in many other movies , especially, in "Fight Club", this one was a milder bu nonetheless an exciting venture..
well a nice movie to watch..
Don't miss the climax.. its really worth the whole 1.5 hrs ..

7/10

Restraint




Restraint was mild british thriller which i liked. Its about a wealthy man who is agoraphobic, meaning 'fearful of public places', who encounters an almost criminal couple running from police.
The couple soon finds out his weakness and start blackmailing him. But then the story twists and takes another turn.
Clean like British movies normally are.
Andrew (Stephen Moyer) and Dale (Teresa Palmer -) both look really good.

6/10

Crank: High Voltage


IMDB

This movie is a riot .. I was confused whether I liked it or not.. But the thing was that I completely enjoyed this movie..
Creativity doesn't get better than this. You can't call it cheap.. but then you can't also call it serious. This looks like more of an AMAZINGLY GOOD experiment..
Jason Statham rocks, with all the sex, nudity, action, killings etc this is f***ing cool action movie.. Height of creativity.


6/10

Layer Cake


IMDB

An excellent thriller. Typically, British in its make and direction. But very very good indeed to watch.. Daniel Craig, and others are perfect. Everything about this movie was just about perfect .. there was no moment where the heart was not racing.

A must watch movie..

8/10

The Big Lebowski



IMDB

Somehow I liked it and it wasn't that interesting also. It was about the cool nature of the guy who is already a "dude". And with his calmness and carefree nature he is living his life with no grudges etc..

Thats a good viewpoint to have a look at and think at least.

7/10

Erin Brockovish



IMDB

A no non-sense, excellent and wonderfully made movie. I guess i need not say about it, most of us already know a lot about "Erin Brockovich".

8/10

Diary of A Sex Addict


IMDB

A very good movie .. with lots of positiveness.. and revolves around the insatiable sexuality of an adult woman.. She finds that what she wants is not what is generally called love but she finds that she can get satisfaction only through sex, sex, and more sex.. with anybody anywhere..

Then how this feeling leads her to various places including brothels, pain etc. is what the movie shows.

7/10

After the Sunset


IMDB

A not so amazing film but a watchable one nonethelss.
Moreover, how is possible that Salma Hayek [;)] and Pierce Brosnan can't generate some interest in a movie? Both of them were very good..
Both of them are thieves and usually steal diamonds from high security displays.

Except for the banality of the story everything else was good..

6/10

Animal House


IMDB

This is a wonderful film and comes under the category of "Must Watch" ones..
The story is about a house called Delta at Faber college somewhere around 1968 or so.. and the so-called good-for-nothing image of the boys that stay in Delta house.

A very good comedy..

8/10

Freddy Vs Jason


IMDB

Well a horror movie turns into a comedy type of movie this one was..
Initial scenes did raise my hair, they did.. but later on there was more comedy in the action sequences than any horror..


;)
5/10

Adventures of Baron Munchausen


IMDB

Well had this movie not featured Uma Thurman (of course with some treat to the eyes ;) This is a very tiresome movie.. For now "Hatim Taai" is what comes to my mind to describe what this movie was like..
Some of you might like it..
But Uma Thurman was THE main attraction..

Guys, you might not wanna miss Godess Venus' (Uma Thurman) entry scene.


5/10

Happy Gilmore



IMDB

A really happy film.. Happy just made me more happy.. I wasn't expecting this movie to be that good..
He wanted to be a hockey player but for his grandmother ends up being a golfer and that to top notch.. winning a gold jacket as they say.

:D

I love you, Man


IMDB

A totally cool movie, especially for the married guys, they will understand it better than the free ones. :)
I had just seen Forgetting Sarah Marshall featuring "Jason Segel" and liked that too, and enjoyed the guy. A wonderful and rather delightful depiction of the problems that arise when anybody's wife would think that you enjoy the company of your friend more than her's..
Even though you enjoy both the companies, the problem arises as soon as the enjoyment you get from your friend equals that of what you get from your wife.. And this is what this movie shows.. and does succeed well in it.

7/10

Dangerous Liasions


IMDB

A hugely entertaining, wonderfully made, shrewdly imagined movie.. but definitely not what doesn't go in the society. I really liked John Malkovich's character and was already expecting his fate as shown here.

A totally full blown effort which is completely successful..

Moreover, seeing three sexy actresses in a single movie was overwhelming.. especially in their complete nudity..
John rocks..

Tried searching for the uncensored version but couldn't.. :(

10/10

Species III


IMDB

What a boring movie .. I had to keep myself seated forcefully just to see if anything comes up interesting .. except for the scene where the other girl had sex with the petrol pump guy there is nothing that is worth watching..

4/10

Le Mepris (Contempt)


IMDB

Considering those times of 1963, it must have been a rage.. Brigitte Bardot was just too hot to handle.. she was looking so pretty. Plus the ending was strange, like it came from no where..


6/10

Species


IMDB

A movie that was better than it successor movies..
And has only Natasha Henstridge to see.. but in terms of 1995 .. it could be considered a very good science flick..
7/10

Species II


IMDB

Fuck.. this movie can only survive with Natasha Henstridge.. she is the only reason to watch Species .. but how tragic that she was way under-utilized.

Just look at her.. she is voluptuous yaar.. ( 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

Scarface



IMDB

A typical Al Pacino movie..
There somthing mysterious about Al Pacino that whichever movie he has starred in, to me, nobody else outshines him.. I love his style..
And "Scent of Women" was the best movie that I like from his filmography, besides Godfather of course.
In scarface also Al Pacino rules.. except may be Michelle Pfieffer who was looking gorgeous.. and given those times its no doubt this was box office bomb type of movie.

7/10.

Carlito's Way


IMDB

This is another Al Pacino movie, where Al Pacino rules..

7/10.

Bolt


IMDB

The initial animation was even better than the Ice Age movies..
The movie started good but then slows down and down.. and then there was too little to watch ..

6/10

Fight Club


IMDB

What an awesome movie ..
It doesn't get any better than this ..

Guys this one is a must watch.

Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince


IMDB

Fantastic movie.
I just loved watching this movie.. though the end was a too much abrupt an end.. Nonetheless it scores way better than lot of those other thoughtless movies that we are thrown at (:P).

Thought the movie length, it kept me bound to my iPhone on which i saw it.
A must watch if I may say so.. There was no shoddy scene in it. Almost perfect visual effects..

I can't stop my self from giving it an 8/10.


PS: it was 2:30 AM when i was damn sure that i can't take my eyes off the movie.

Race To Witch Mountain


IMDB

A third class movie ..
with no concern over the carrier of a good guy ("Rock" or Dwayne johnson)..
F*** why do they keep making movies that have nothing to watch ..

4/10

Planet of Apes



IMDB

A nice concept, amazing make-up, wonderful acting.. astonishing direction..
Mark Wahlberg beats many of the modern actors in his acting prowess.

8/10

House of 1000 Corpses


IMDB

The reviews were too good for this movie, but somehow I felt that there was too much halloween part in it.. more gore and blood becomes too much .. more sex (exposure etc.) is fine though .. ;D

The reason for this kind of idea from me is that I am not a huge fan of gory and bloody scenes as such, except for may be in "The Frontiers", "28 Days Later", "28 Weeks Later".. those are excellent movies from my point of view .. and somehow I could digest all that..

Anyways I would give it somewhere around 6..
6/10

What Lies Beneath


IMDB

A fantastic movie..
far better than the Indian version "Raaz"..

7/10

Suspension (2008)


IMDB

I had found a good review about it so thought let's try it out and see how would it satisfy me as a film/fiction. Though, it clearly states/showed that humans will always be humans and given the GODLY powers they merely tread the down-hill path to their perdition. Other movies like Sphere, etc. show the same aspect of human nature though with a different angle..

This movie was different more in its directorial effort.. but generally people might find it too slow and less interesting..
It keeps sagging down and down..


5/10

Faculty


IMDB

A good one, especially, it was nice to see "Frodo" in a new role.. which was suiting him also ..

A good entertainer it was..

6/10.

Disturbia


IMDB

I liked the movie more for the teen sex appeal of "Sarah Roemer" than the boy "Shia LaBeouf" who also starred in the "Transformers", "Eagle Eye" and has a somewhat stereotypical acting profile. "Carrie-Anne Moss" of "Matrix" fame was even sexier as a divorced wife..

Well overall an average thriller but nicely shot, and some good teenage
romance.

I would have given it an 8/10 but I think I'll stick to
7/10.

The Departures


IMDB

If i keep watching such good korean/japanese movies i'll sure be a huge fan of their culture and dashing vision.. I saw Dance of Dragon, Azumi, and then this Departures, and all of them were a class apart movies..
The best part is that all of these movies prefer to focus on the emotions that we live with than those computer graphics to depict the story..

Definitely 8/10.

Angels And Demons



IMDB

One of the fundoo movies.. it was really enjoyable though I cudn't see it twice.. Nicely made.. The best scene was the "Creation of the Anti-Matter" sequence.
Nevertheless it scored 7/10.

Land of Women


IMDB

Excellent.. Engrossing.. Somewhat true colors of male & female of human species. Wonderfully enacted and directed.

Lovable.
7/10.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall


IMDB

A lite and a good movie it is. May be a nice time-pass type of movie, but it has got fun and enjoyment.

5.5/10

Out of Africa


IMDB

The Secret of Moonacre


IMDB

By the movie poster I had generated high hopes from the movie, and most of them fell flat on their belly. There wasn't much in the movie to keep you seated for more than twenty minutes or so.. at max. But somehow, i kept dragging myself and found that all my efforts were mostly unrewarded..

However, i really found the girl (Dakota Blue Richards) very sweet indeed. Where all the other characters were too lame to sustain interest in them, the moon-princess' were of some respite..

Like another movie, Push, this movie could have been made better with better content and acting or direction.

4/10

The Ten


IMDB

Was humourous in a way but felt more like a presentation than an entertainment movie.. the stories were too short and as somebody has already said too shallow..
Wouldn't recommend to anybody to waste their few hours unless they don't any other choice especially better than this..

4.5/10

The Machinist


IMDB

THis movie showed me that the "Batman" hero Christian Bale can act very nicely besides being good in action sequences. I was amazed by how well was the charater enacted by him.. too emaciated and almost dead.. mainly because of a mistake he made in the past that took him far from reality. "If you were a little thinner, you woudn't exist." was a good dialogue in it to describe how thin he was in this movie..

However, its the story, direction and the actor that made this movie really promising. I liked it, more because of the fact i had no previous information about this one.. no story, no reviews..

Link.

A good watch I would say. 7/10

The Push


IMDB

I liked push .. especially for the fact that this story has a huge promise. It already has the complexity necessary to generate a an intriguing tale but it all depends on the scriptwriter.

For now it appeared to me that with all the content it could generate a huge and successful sequel to it.. I hope they do coz that wud be lovely to see..

6/10

The Watchmen


IMDB

A truly amazing effort by all of the crew of "Watchmen". Its a very good movie, although it starts with a somewhat slow pace and may be keeps slow but the quality of the content is just too good. I admit that for the first half an hour or so i was almost dragging myself to generate interest to keep continuing but then at about one hour or so i was glued to my bed watching pretty seriously as to what was going to happen..

The heroes were all very good, especially the human part in all of them was just amazingly portrayed.. The reality intertwined with the huge understanding of the working of nature was the most most weighing part of the movie..

JUST DON'T MISS IT.
9/10

The World Unseen


IMDB


What a relief that people exist in the world belonging to South Asian parts of the world and having such a profound view about any idea they have.. Initially i thought Shamim Sharif was a male director (got confused for the name and also for size of my brain being too small) and was really curious about his (now her) real life experiences that might have led him to make lesbianism oriented movies. ;)
But then i found out that Shamim was actually a female director with several awards in her bag (link) not only for this movie but also for the novel with the same name and is the root of this movie..

I just felt so delighted while watching this movie.. The world Unseen was milder than "I can't think straight" but nonetheless a very beautiful movie indeed.
Well I don't think such movies can be missed.

8/10

Kill Bill Vol.2

Tarantino wasn't my favorite until i saw Kill Bill, which was of course my first from his house. Later on i also saw "Reservoir Dogs", and liked it especially in the context of that era.

Kill Bill Vol. 1


IMDB

Hell of a great action movie..

9/10

The Last King Of Scotland



IMDB

What an amazing performance by Forest Whitaker (Amin), i mean he was just dancing on the screen and it felt so good that he was so close to the character.. And i also liked the ass of Kay Amin (here, tho its not from me) in the movie..

8/10

Vantage Point


IMDB

Watching same event from the 8 different angles.
A nice thriller..
