Inglorious Basterds

IMDB 

By now I have already seen movies like "Fight Club" and "A Curious Case of Benjamin Button" so at least I can't say that this is one of the best movies of Brad Pitt. Nonetheless, he is as  charming and delightful as ever. Somehow, the director of the film, Quentin Tarantino, was amazingly successful in creating a real mixture in which you taste other things than Brad Pitt alone.

It is set in the times of 2nd World War when Hitler was killing jews for the purity of human race or something like that. Somehow, a few of them were able to survive. And this is how the story unfolds till the Jew-killing machines were neutralized by an American group of mercenaries better known as "Inglorious Bastards" led by (of course none other than) Brad Pitt. The most amazing character of the movie, however, was stolen by Christoph Waltz who played --Col. Hans Landa-- and played it masterfully.. His performance might certainly have beaten Brad Pitt for once. It like the 4th idiot (Chatur Ramalingam) of the hindi movie "3 Idiots". Do enjoy the tense war/action movie.

8/10.

Get it here. :D

Agora (2009)

IMDB

A truely wonderful film, by now I have seen it more than once already. A perfect film which is absolutely worth watching. It featured "Rachel Wiesz" in a completely different light, making "Agora" possibly a very important movie of her career. The movie showed the possible events during the departure of humanity from Paganism (popular in earlier eras) to Christianity. How the equality of sex was killed by the religion is shown so tragically that women will like it far more than men.
Anyway, its a story of women with a very high intellect who gets trapped (and killed) in the tumultuous events of the transition of humanity from older religions to newer ones. A masterpiece acting by Rachel Wiesz and an amazing direction by director Alejandro Amenábar.
A perfect 8 is what I think it deserves.

8/10

Star Trek 2009

IMDB

After a real long time had I seen a very good movie ..
It is of superb make, the acting, makeup, visual effects and finally the direction too was of A-one quality. I was just overwhelmed when I saw it.

I guess there is no need to elaborate on its cool effects and etcs ..
And I am damn sure none of you would come and beat me for it.


9/10

Astro Boy

IMDB

Somewhat reminiscent of Wall-E, Astro Boy is a nice animation movie for both kids and grown ups. A classy animation and a good story did help this movie look better than most other animated movies.. One failed attempt that I still remember was "Bolt". Thank god, there is something for the kids in a form they can enjoy.

7/10

Sherlok Holmes

IMDB

I recall having heard a phrase which was something like - "it doesn't get better than this.. ". And this is what i feel about this movie . Its an amazing product by Guy Ritchie. I have always felt a fascination for the British movies. They are clean and almost impeccable, i mean just brilliant.
Sherlock Holmes is in no league of simple commercial cinema, actually, it belongs a very refined class. The direction is just brilliant which had made me a fan of Guy Ritchie, remember his Madonna connection.

Many, I really mean many scenes are just for savoring the beauty with which the movie was crafted. Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law and Rachel McAdams also performed very good.
8.5 is what I am feeling to give it now but since, I have just seen it and I am beaming with its entertainment so I must calm down first.

For now its 8/10.

Up In The Air

IMDB

Earlier I had heard that this movie went up for the OSCARS, and I was really excited to see it. Well, it certainly is among good movies but it doesn't hit the top notch. To me the story content was average enough to make me feel that what would OSCAR people want in a movie to be best among many? I mean this was an average good story, but with good direction and a very good performance by George Clooney and others following, it did present some substantial matter. May be, I still am a common eye for the nitty-gritty that make a movie better than others.

Anyway, I must admit that George Clooney is looking fabulous and is amazing in his performance too. I could be a very good time pass.

6/10
