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
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 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
Download
Enjoy ..
Kill Bill Vol.2
IMDB
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.
8/10

The Last King Of Scotland
No mires para abajo
IMDB
Believe me you wouldn't have seen a movie like this..
'Tis just pleasure, and art of doing it.. What the hell were they thinking when they made .. its not at all a porn but if it is its should go to oscars..
Actaully its already a winner of Best Picture at the 2008 Latin American Film Festival, Best Latin American Film at the 2008 Montreal World Film Festival. Tantalizing and sexy, cult director Eliseo Subiela’s latest film explores the tantric possibilities of sexual imaginations and awakenings. When 19-year-old Eloy sleepwalks and crashes through the roof of a beautiful woman, Elvira, he discovers the tantric and therapeutic powers of the Kama Sutra of which she is an expert.
A thousand times brilliant..
10/10
Azumi
IMDB
Not a too good movie.. but surely a nice action movie.
yes but certain scenes were really well shot..
I kinda liked it. A very naive direction is seen throughout the movie, actually a old-fashioned direction is a more closer word. The girl playing "Azumi" was really fantastic in acting but not that much in action scenes. But looked sexy. ;)
6.5/10

V for Vendetta
IMDB
A must watch movie..
I had missed it once .. but when one of my friend reminded me about it .. i went back to my DVDs collection and saw it. I was worth the effort and time.
8/10

I Really Hate My Job
IMDB
A ladies movie for sure.. as they would certainly be able to read more than men can see on the faces and beneath of all the five good actresses..
Some of the moments were just hilariuos..
Like when amid some angry scene the ladies would burst out and dance on the music.. You can also catch a glimpse of sexy and nude Neve Campbell (here;not my post, though).
hahaha .. heh ehehe

You Don't Mess With The Zohan
IMDB
An ultimate comedy, only if you are willing to throw your brain out the window and can manage seeing Adam Sandler kising old ladies.. All in all it was fun to watch it..
Some of the scenes are made with beauty.. cool movie..
7/10
I Can't Think Straight
IMDB
What a wonderful movie! It is an awesome, and spontaneously enjoyable movie guys. When it comes to its rythem it gets too hot to handle. First of all a lesbian affair and then Lisa Ray and Sheetal Seth... ooohh thats a hot combination..
Its a somewhat short movie so when it was going to get over, I was left wanting for more.. Imagine if it could do the same to you too.. ;)
8/10
I.cnt.thnk.str8.avi (697 MB)
Subtitles: I.cnt.thnk.str8.srt (78 KB)
Doomsday
IMDB
Another movie based on the similar idea of a virus attack leading to a quarantine and then killings etc. But nonetheless it was watchable.
5/10
:D
Resident Evil
IMDB
The whole trilogy was just a delicious feed to the brain and the ears. With Marilyn manson giving the background theme, its expected to be great for the ears. And Mila Jovovich is a treat to the eyes.
8/10.
Johnny Mad Dog
IMDB
"Sauvaire's vision of this bleak situation doesn't hold back for a moment. It grabs the audience by the neck, and puts in the middle of the disorderly gang. I'm very glad I had the opportunity to experience it. "
Harry High Pants (User Comment at IMDB)
What a brilliant performance from the young cast of this movie. Its not acting, its the real performance. Both the characters of "Johnny Mad Dog" and "No Good Advice" were amazing. And "No Good Advice" had been brilliant throughout the movie.
I would give both of them a 8* rating for their naive and genuine performance. And a lot of applause to the director also .. there were many scenes in the movie that were just superb (i liked the scene most when one of the girl of Johnny dies and the "No Good Advice" is dancing outside unaware of all this.)
Well not a must watch for everybody but for those very few who would not stop and wait.
7/10.
The Return of the King
IMDB
Haven't found a movie better than this. So profound, and ecstatic.
Brilliant work by Peter Jackson and crew.
9/10

Weekend Cu Mama 2009
IMDB
About drugs and relationships..
Watchable and may be good .. actually better if you have patience.
6/10
The Warlords 2007
IMDB
"A brother who harms another brother must die".. was just too good.
"The Warlords" is a Jet Li movie with a different perspective than just "kung-fu" fighting. What a direction? Just amazing. For once it appeared that it was a regular movie but soon there too many things to see and feel at heart. The feeling of brotherhood was bursting out my heart. And intertwined was the feeling of "manhood".
The story and background music was very good.
I certainly enjoyed the movie. No two thoughts about it.
;)
8/10.
