The Villain (2014)

Watch it for Riteish and the music

[4/10 · 30 June 2014]

*****SPOILERS *****SPOILERS *****SPOILERS ****SPOILERS ****SPOILERS **** Starting with the obvious ,those who are stating it as a rumor and those who are questioning whether it is a remake or rip-off of Korean Psychological thriller " I Saw the Devil",to them i say. Yes my friends it is in fact a rip-off or unofficial remake of that movie. I really loved the original movie because it is fresh and have few clichés. I watched the trailer of the movie,i sensed that it looks like a remake(that i had not watched " I Saw the Devil" then i googled it but sources were saying it is a rumor. Finally i saw this movie yesterday and here is the things i felt :-

Film's main hero Siddarth Malhotra did a good job ,his emotions in some parts of the movie might seem are really good. but on the other hand he looks confused partially,His action scenes disappointed See,he plays a ruthless hit-man but he does not seem to punch hard but as he is a new actor we could expect that he will improve movie by movie.

Film's main heroine Shraddha kapoor yet plays another bubbly,lovely,funny and happy-go-lucky character who is suffering from a unmentioned disease.I did not like her work. She could be really sweet and charming in some scenes but in most of the movie i found her annoying .she really needs to improve .

The only reason for you to watch this movie is the antagonist Riteish Deshmukh. He really stunned everyone with his expressiveness ,as he was a comic actor who turned into a sadistic psycho .His eyes are dead,his expressions are intense,his emotions are great.He did a great job playing a serial killer but i think screenplay and script didn't do justice with his character.He should have been given more screen time.My favorite scene from the movie is when he is standing at railway platform and his boss passes by,the way he looks at her ,there are just so much emotions in that one look.I think this is his best career performance by far.I wish he does more serious roles in the future.

Music of the movie is very good.Everyone is saying ,i want to say too that "Galiyan" and "Banjara" songs are amazing.

Screenplay of the movie is lousy ,it's like an on and off ,romantic drama-slash-psychological thriller movie scenes . The unnecessary romantic and emotional scenes makes this a cheesy movie. The number of bollywood cliché's are so high in this movie.it's like everywhere.Whenever a murder takes place ,there happens to be nobody around the area. The mother whose son get killed by a hit man do not testify against him in the court because she believes "upparwala(God)" will punish him. Fu***ng seriously? A sweet and beautiful girl falls for a gangster who is hanging upside down half naked in jail.She really believes that there is good in him and her love will change him .well guess what it does. The whole premise of two villains is the movie is ridiculous,confusing and unjustifiable.Director said that you can decide your own villain from the movie ohh really ??trying to be ambiguous like Taxi Driver and Once upon a time in America. Guru adopts the son of his wife's killer.that's a classic. Overall,i felt this could have been a better movie but they made it too commercial and toned down the level of violence to nothing so Indian Girls can watch it.Watch this movie for Riteish and the music.

Agneepath (2012)

Definitely a intense first half but not-so-satisfying second half

[7/10 · 19 May 2014]

This movie is based on Agneepath (1990) which starred Big B in lead role of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan.Must say ,it was a brave decision to remake and later the original movie sequences. I was not expecting it to be a good movie but it proved to be very good. Karan Malhotra did an excellent job organizing this. First half is intense and great ,while not creating 1990 scenes again which were so perfect. Hrithik Roshan,Priyanka Chopra and Sanjay Dutt did a great job portraying there roles honestly.Supporting cast is great too. But the real winner is Rishi Kapoor ,he is perfect as a sleazy girl- trafficker who sells underage girls.Kancha(Sanjay Dutt )was supposed to be the main antagonist but Rishi's Rauf lala overshadowed him. Movie goes on with effective soundtrack and score by Ajay-Atul especially the songs "Abhi Mujh Main Kahin" "O Saiyyan" and "Chikni Chameli" . The second half slowly drains everything with over melodrama and boring shots especially the climax which seems dragged like many scenes in the second half. The only scene i liked about the climax is when Vijay recites Agneepath poem while hanging Kancha on the same tree on which kancha hanged his father in front of the whole village. Hrithik is perfect in that scene. Not comparing it to the original,this movie is still good and worth a watch as a homage to the original ,and the fans of Karan Johar

American Hustle (2013)

Cleverly crafted crime comedy

[8/10 · 22 March 2014]

Two con artists get trapped in a operation by a FBI officer which aims to expose the political leaders and mafia.When this goes too far ,everyone around them gets in it and it becomes a nightmare. American Hustle is surely a win as a period movie which depicts the ABSCAM operation done during the 1970's and 80's. I never heard of this sting before watching the movie. After watching it ,i searched everyone connected to it. According to that ,this is an entertaining turn by David O. Russell,as his style. He made it funny,raunchy and clever. Great screenplay combines with marvelous actors and throw in 80's songs,you get a classic. I would specially like to state Christian Bale's impeccable acting skills,he kills every scene and dialogue.His weight gain is another treat to watch.Seriously this man is a shape shifter. There isn't any role left which is physically demanding.Hats off. The second best thing in acting,of course,Amy Adams,seductive,sexy,kinky,naughty,strong and best character. She is too good and you barely get your eyes off of her. Bradley Cooper is just the right mix of ambition and cunningness. Jennifer Lawrence's character mostly annoys but that is good thing because it was meant to be that way which means she did her job in a most best way possible.Unaware of anything what is happening ,her unpredictability creates crazy situations but she is so sweet in some scenes. Jeremy Rener play his character smartly and most accurately,the look just suits him very much.Every other supportive member is good. Just loved the cameo by Robert De Niro and the twist ending. Yes,it has its flaws but who cares ?after watching it whole they just vanish. Overall,this is exuberantly fun movie,this is how a crime comedy period drama should be made.

Dallas Buyers Club (2013)

Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto steals the show.

[8/10 · 19 March 2014]

The story of an electrician (Ron Woodroof)who finds out that he has got only 30 days to live after being diagnosed with HIV.He asks the doctor directly for AZT but she refuses so he bribes a guy who works there to steal it from inventory.After cutting off of supply he flees to Mexico where he gets treated by non-toxic drugs which stands more useful against AZT,so he decides to illegally smuggle those drugs to USA for HIV infected people. He starts to visit different countries by making different combinations to prolong the life of patients by beginning a Dallas Buyers Club.

I just wanted to write a short summary myself because this movie is so good. As everyone is saying ,i will say too that Matthew McConaughey gives the performance of his life and he deserves the praise but i really wanted Leo to win the academy.Anyway Matthew did a perfect job depicting cleverness to help people and earn dough Jared Leto is just incredible in portraying the trans woman .His acting gave me chills .Great ,talented and amazing Jared makes you laugh and cry. Hats off to Robin Mathews for that perfect make-up. Supportive cast,cinematography,screenplay are plus points . This movie is funny,emotional,explicit and entertaining in its own way. A must watch.

Raising Arizona (1987)

One of the funniest movies

[8/10 · 11 March 2014]

Starts with Nicholas cage's narrating and southern style score,this movie happened to catch my attention from the inception like usual Coen movies do. Quirky cast of character,surreal sequence and goofy scenes makes it memorable. You got young Hi (Nicholas Cage),an ex-con and Ed(Holly Hunter) ,an ex- cop .As odds even out they both marry each other which is the most interesting thing. Incapable of giving birth to a baby ,and Hi's past stops them from adopting any. Ed breaks down and find an illegal way to get a baby ,and that is.....stealing it from the owner of biggest unpainted furniture owner in Arizona. That's the whole plot ahead,the idiosyncratic characters and dialogues and the situations they get in. It is replete with these funny slapstick situations and deft camera-work which seems really entertaining. John Goodman and William Forsythe as two criminal and fugitive brothers are really funny and good. The character of Leonard smalls is very well written and it is like hound slash killing machine which can track anything. Shooting rabbits through the desert it gets in the way of Hi and Ed ,the way it has being depicted is amazing. Highlight of the movie is undoubtedly the climax ,filled with soaring emotions and pathos generated narrative. If you want to enjoy a good comedy with every element of crime in it,this is the one.

Blood Simple (1984)

Tense,sparse and effective

[9/10 · 9 March 2014]

Coen brothers debut with this neo-noir crime thriller sure got the attention of the people. This movie has limited number of dialogues but the tense atmosphere,neo- noir feel,style of photography and score makes it a great start for most promising brother film makers. There are so many scenes which takes you to the edge of the seat. It's violent and shockingly funny. All starts with a woman cheating on his husband with his employee and a clownish as much as creepy private investigator. It gives us a simple story to follow from the starts but it gets more and more thrilling and interesting as the movie moves forward. Full of Jaw-clenching sequences ,it is filled with blood,crime,cheat,love misunderstanding and horror. It has a slow pace but you really start to dig in after few minutes. It really is a great start from Coen brothers.

Mystic River (2003)

Sean+Kevin+Tim+Clint = Great drama movie

[9/10 · 1 March 2014]

*** Spoilers *** *** Spoilers *** *** Spoilers *** *** Spoilers *** Based on a crime novel of the same name by Dennis Lehne,this movie is entertaining and moving crime drama. I haven't read the novel but have heard that it is great too. Talking about acting,that is top-notch. Our three lead actors are really good especially Sean And Tim They deserved the academy award. The locations are really good and the scene when everything unravels (when Jimmy shoots Dave )is chilling. On the other hand,it was a bit predictable about Dave not being the killer,anyhow they managed to keep the suspense about the real one. This movie is just not about murdered girl of Jimmy but about the characters and their life after the incident which effected the great deal of their childhood. As Dave was cited as 'damaged goods' ,Jimmy ran a illegal crew and it made Sean detective. How the confusion,mental instability ,lying of one character changes his fate and how his wife takes him as someone else . Some people will hate the scene where Boyle get killed for what he did not do by his childhood friend but this isn't about the justice. IT is about the tension,word of mouth,rumors and how things looked to either character which made him do the worst thing he could ever imagine to his friend.This facts makes this movie better and non-clichéd. Overall,This movie has an amazing screenplay ,great performances and direction,falls shorts for a masterpiece but it is outstanding in many aspects.

Reservoir Dogs (1992)

Tarantino Begins

[10/10 · 23 December 2013]

It's Tarantino's debut and breakthrough in Hollywood. i fully admire his efforts on the story and direction. Everybody just did a great job.Joe,Eddie and our prominent colors steals the show. Infrequent violence scenes make it powerful and the acting is just over the top.Screenplay rules. I really liked everyone but Steve Buscemi,Tim Roth and Harvey Keitel just steals the show. This movie starts the style of Tarantino's long conversation about pop culture,daily and criminal activities which people enjoys till now. Especially,the infamous cop-torture scene and the when Mr. Pink shoots at cops repeatedly are too good. This is a perfect crime movie. It's that kind of movie ,you can see 10 times ,if you liked it. It was my first non-linear storyline Hollywood movie ,they did it so perfectly that now i love this kind. It's fast pace wouldn't let you bore for one freaking second. People who love to see crime movies will surely adore it. Everything is so great which make this flick unforgettable.

The Killing (1956)

Stanley's Film-noir ? Hell Yeah !!!

[9/10 · 17 December 2013]

This was Kubrick's first thriller Movie and i think it's one of the best film-noir classic in terms of Acting and Direction. Everyone shines in this movie,the great assembled cast. The fast-talker and boss Sterling Hayden's character just nails the movie with his wits and style. Every other actor did a good job. The direction is brilliant,cinematography is incredible,film-noir element is consistent. From start to end this film is amazing especially the climax. Clearly a Young Kubrick's triumph. As we see the movie was release in 1950's it is cleverly made. Full of thrills and Crime genre fans will sure enjoy this movie a lot.

L.A. Confidential (1997)

Perfection in neo-noir

[10/10 · 16 December 2013]

With it's brilliant pacing and neo-noir crime drama elements. L.A. Confidential stands one of the best crime films ever made. The incredible thing about this movie is acting,seems like every actor is living the character they are in. Russel Crowe just stands out as the tough cop and a man who hates women beaters,rapers and killers.His voice tone through the entire movie helps building his character,the other great aspect as anti-political. Kevin Spacey ,what could i say ,he is just awesome,his turn as a likable and smart Sgt really gives the plot a go-ahead.Especially the scene where with James Crowell. Guy Pearce ,just nailed the character of Ed Exley.His transformation from a fame-lover and political smart officer to a real justice seeking man is very good. Kim Basinger ,she is just beautiful and clever.she doesn't look so aged and her charm and acting deserved the academy. Every other supporting actor Danny DeVito,James Cromwell and David Strathairn are all good. Under Curtis Hanson's brilliant direction and Curtis Hanson Brian Helgeland's cleverly adapted screenplay from the novel of same name is quite interesting. Overall,this is a thrilling and one of the best neo-noir drama film with unexpected and great twists.

Madras Cafe (2013)

Best Indian espionage spy thriller

[8/10 · 24 August 2013]

Watched this movie today with my friends,it is based on the LTTE which is LTF in the movie and assassination of then,EX-Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. I was very impressed with the cinematography,narration,direction and score. I have seen many spy thrillers but never have seen a one by India,which is very good. John Abraham is really good in the movie,his look in movie(while narrating) reminds me of Tony Mendez in Argo. He narrated the story very well,and the whole movie is fast paced because of his energized performance.Execution of movie is phenomenal. Somnath Dey and Shubendu Bhattacharya picked a controversial topic and turned it into thought-provoking script and a question about humanity. The depiction of civil war and violence in the movie shook me up,these scenes were so intense,real and vivid. It genuinely gives a positive message about developing harmony and do everything via negotiating rather than playing political games and assassinating selflessly. The few flaws hold it back from being a perfect spy thriller like inspiration from Green Park and Body of Lies and few plot points. There are also some anachronisms.On the whole it is not historically correct but i liked the fictional work too. This film is much better than Ek Tha Tiger and Agent Vinod which were completely ripped off from several Hollywood Movies. During the movie was playing ,many people started to leave the cinema hall Especially girls,i wonder,Why ? My assumption is by the name the Madras Cafe and star cast John Abraham and Nargis Fakhri,they were expecting a masala movie. It did not deserve this departing of audience from the hall. As this is the first time there has been a real political spy thriller filled with snitches,leaks ,decoys and inside jobs,it is hard for them to accept a great movie with international standards. If you want to see real spy thriller filled with good performances ,Try not to miss it.This is a must watch work. This is an outstanding effort the makers succeeds to amaze us. Marvellous work by everyone.

Hard Candy (2005)

Disturbing and Engaging

[7/10 · 23 August 2013]

It is one of the most disturbing and engrossing movies. It sure does holds our attention after watching it and it is a perfect one time watch movie. The highlight of the movie is lead performances by Ellen Page and Patrick Wilson. About Page,she did her job so good.One of the most creepiest performances. She looks so sweet and act grievously,she really is a hard candy in the movie.She is one of the natural actors. Patrick Wilson too well-acted the character of a pedophile who got has been stuck with an insane girl who kills pedophile. His depiction of anger,pain and surprise is really great. The cat and mouse game holds us onto the edge our seats. The plot is totally unpredictable and many scenes amazes us throughout the movie. Changing frequency and shaky camera style in some scenes is also dazzling. Writers picked a controversial topic and with a low-budget they turned it into a capricious suspense thriller. If there were no flaws it would been the one of the best thrillers. Character development and repetition of same dialogues i.e."You are a pedophile" "No i am not" "You killed her" "i didn't kill her" etc. seems cheesy. Though the plot is unpredictable it is a bit crumby in scenes. But it is great two time watch movie. I enjoyed it. Hats off to Patrick Wilson and Ellen Page.

District 9 (2009)

A mind blowing science fiction masterpiece

[10/10 · 11 August 2013]

When i saw the poster of this movie two years ago,i was confused what kind of movie it is.I did not do any search ,just downloaded the movie and watched it but did not write review. After watching it yesterday with my brother,i felt to write a review for the movie which is so great and probably the best alien invasion movie. This piece of work blow your mind.The plot is original,the special effects are top-notch and the heart wrenching performance by Sharlto Copley. Some people say that the violence and profanity is overdone but i think it is just accurate and necessary for the movie. The gut-wrenching scenes involving prawns are fabulous. I loved the documentary-hand held camera style by Neill Blomkamp and his entire work. He is such a talented filmmaker. On the other hand it is no less than a thriller,it gives you chills. The scenes where they torture Wikus seems so realistic and cruel. Also it has a emotional side,when a mild-mannered and a good man faces these kind of things and misses his loving wife. Exhilarating sound editing , eye popping visuals and great assembled cast make this movie outstanding.

The Godfather Part II (1974)

The best sequel-prequel ever made

[10/10 · 11 August 2013]

This movie is three hours and twenty two minutes long but an hour passes like 15 minutes.It is incredibly entertaining and one of the best gangster movie ever made. The plot is tricky featuring two parallel story lines,one of young Vito Corleone fighting with life's dark events,providing for his family,building a Don status and seeking revenge for the killing of his family while other depicts the Michael Corleone and his falling empire,family and life. Al Pacino is stand out in the movie cast.You just see the expressions and his eyes it can tell you the whole story. He has completely transformed to a ruthless,heartless and cold gangster but never stopped loving his family. The scene where Kay(Diane Keaton) tells him about that she aborted their child,Al is flawless and most realistic how his eyes pops out and how he knocks her down.He deserved the Oscar for best actor. Robert De Niro is impeccable.What do you expect when two of the greatest actors play two of the greatest characters. De Niro portrays the character with similar talent as Marlon Brando did. The way he speaks with same husky voice also his sicilian. His principles,taking care of things,returning the favor and rise to mafia is just marvelous. The best scenes are where he follows Fannuci at Festa to his house and kills him other one ,obviously where he stabs Don Ciccio and says "My father's name was Antonio Andolini... and this is for you" is just brilliant. Diane Keaton portrays her character with utter excellence. Robert Duvall is as great as he was in the previous movie,the sophisticated lawyer ,caring brother and a good man. John Cazale character is bigger in this one and he is first class in the scene where he yells his heart out and in the whole movie. Michael Vincente Gazzo's performance is most realistic. The screenplay,style and violence is top notch. Again.Coppola's direction is mesmerizing. Overall,this is one of the best movie and not to be missed.

The Godfather (1972)

Masterpiece of Coppola

[10/10 · 4 August 2013]

I have had this movie for many months but i never got time to watch it. Yesterday i did and i think ,like everybody say ,it is one of the best movies made ever. Al Pacino who was not very popular at that time make his breakthrough performance and he is just great in the role of Michael Corleone. About the legend Marlon Brando,he is just phenomenal,his facial expressions and husky voice just make his role one of the best characters. It is based on Mario Puzo's novel about five fictional mafia families and Must say he did a great job on screenplay too. There are some great as well as shocking scenes in this movie i.e. When Woltz wake up and finds a real severed head of a horse. Sonny beats up his brother-in-law Carlo. Prolonged fight between Connie and Carlo. Death of Apollonia Vitelli-Corleone. Death scene of Sonny ambushed by gang members at toll. The killings of all the other heads of Mafia families,Moe Green,Tesiso and Carlo. I loved the setting and style. James Caan,Richard S. Castellano,Robert Duvall,Diane Keaton & Talia Shire did great jobs too. Despite the many Anachronisms,this movie is just marvelous. I have read everything that Coppola dis to make this movie so outstanding. Maybe the best gangster movie ever made. Thanks Paramount,Francis Ford Coppola and every Cast-crew member related for producing this chef-d'oeuvre.

Battle Royale (2000)

Violent,entertaining and gut-wrenching masterpiece

[9/10 · 8 July 2013]

I don't know where to start,this is absolutely a thrilling teenage killing masterpiece by Kinji Fukasaku. Best thing is that all the melodramatic turns between teenagers about their friendship,love and sacrifice,quite make it as semi psycho-thriller. the violent and breathtaking scenes with political set-up really steals the show. this is first Japanese movie i have ever seen,feeling like it is the best. I always knew japan is a great country but never knew that they are this good with cinema.now i am gonna search over and watch every Japanese good movie. Thumbs up to all the cast and the crew who made this. 素晴らしい仕事の連中

Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004)

The Bride is back to Kill Bill

[8/10 · 8 July 2013]

Well,as i have heard so much that this vol is much less action packed than the first volume but it perfectly succeeds in giving us the satisfying conclusion of a two-parter movie. Uma Thurman is awesome as always. This volume depicts David Carradine as ruthless Assassin Bill(Title Character),he is as tough previous volume has shown us. I liked the way it contains so much characters and presents us the Training of the Bride AKA Black Mamba by Pai Mei. The scene where she escapes from the grave covered in sand after which she goes to a coffee shop and asks the waiter "May i have glass of water,Please? "is quite funny. Again,This flick is full of references.Also,the one of references to the zombie and undead movie when she takes her hand out of the grave is clever. As i believe it pays a great deal of homage to the Western and old Chinese movies especially the training where the disciple learns from his master. When she plucks out the second eye of Elle,that scene is so Intense Daryl Hannah is quite the screamer. Michael Madsen's style is very decent as a typical Texas fellow who lives in a trailer park. Everything about this movie is quite good but not better than the First volume nevertheless it lands on a comforting climax which makes us happy and cheerful,not to mention B.B looks so cute and sweet. Great Job by every member of Cast and Crew. Thumbs Up.

Scarface (1983)

Al Pacino killed it.

[9/10 · 7 July 2013]

Scarface,as the name implies ,the movie is as wicked as the name says. After his amazing work in Godfather series. It is treat to watch Al Pacino as a Cuban drug lord. This movie depicts the refugee's of Cuba and what happened in the 80's in true sense. The culture ,like the chicks ,cars,drugs and money ,a business run by one man ,Tony Montana. On the other hand it portrays different relationships of Tony with his sister,Gina,Elvira,his love interest and his sidekick and best friend,Manny Riberra played by Steven Bauer. I really liked every performance especially AL pacino's. It was a great inspiration to GTA :Vice City (On of my favorite video games) as i played the game first ,now i know from where those all things came from. The twist ending in the mansion where everyone dies including Tony makes it more great and reminds us all the where the path of crime ends. Everyone did a good Job. Michelle Pfeiffer,she looks so pretty and the most likable dialogue of her in movie is "Would you stop saying f***" She portrays a drug addict perfectly Mary Elizabeth Mastranton,looks so cute in the beginning and turns to tramp as his brother Tony thinks,She is very good. Brian De Palma is spectacular. This is a splendid iconic gangster flick.

Django Unchained (2012)

A highly recommended western flick.

[9/10 · 7 July 2013]

The western soul with bloody and stylized sequences. This is,my friend is one of the finest movies of 2012. A great ending to the year,i suppose. I have not seen much western or spaghetti western movies.

Way to start with great style of this movie. The actor i liked the most is Christoph Waltz. I think it is one of the greatest performances. His acting,style and every dialogue is so incredible. Especially i liked that part most when he kills a criminal in front of everyone and convince others that the criminal had it coming with his hands behind his head. The most sophisticated doctor and bounty hunter i have ever seen in any movie. He deserved the Academy award for Best Supporting Actor more than anyone. About our lead character Django played by Jamie Foxx,He is also very good. The great apprentice played by a Academy Award winner really well. Samuel.L Jackson,amazing like always. This time he played a eccentric black old man who ,Ironically does not like black men. Kerry Washington shows the real damsel-in-distress scenes and she is too good. Leonardo Dicaprio is mind blowing especially in the table sequence where his hand actually bled after he got hurt by hitting the glass too hard,He stayed in the character and it was so original,He is a great actor. I really loved the KKK styled attack Big Daddy's man planned on Dr and Django. It was real Tarantino style how they fight and talk.

Tarantino always give surprises and he never miss to entertain us. Like all his previous movies,this has also clever dialogues and script. In the face of Western flick. The theme of slavery he chose is app-laudable,but i think involved the use of n-word far more times but as we all know our classic director, he is never wrong about swearing. The cameo of Tarnatino himself and old Django are impressive. Overall ,this movie is entertaining and outstanding.

Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)

Kill Bill is mind blowing

[9/10 · 7 July 2013]

Well, i think it is one of the most violent and kick ass action movies. Everything about about this movie is bloody and freaking great. Quentin Tarantino really made some amazing strides. His style of doing everything especially the carnage and bloody spatter of showering blood when every limb get cut by katana.

The great homage to Italian movie is evident,it is great. Also,it references to Japanese especially the samurai movies is very good. Last but not the least,homage to American culture of classic rape and revenge flicks. It is really a good mixture of everything and very entertaining. It's like watching Martial art movie in Tarantino style.

Actors performance's are great Lucy Liu,Daryl Hannah and Chiaki Kuriyama(really liked her in school uniform,)as i heard Tarantino signed her because of his love for her movie Battle Royale and especially Uma Thurman,She is just breathtaking .

The dark humor ,chicks fighting ,non-linear story line,clever dialogues and good cinematography. I really loved the story of O-Ren Ishii ,The animated sequence ,as violent and as amazing as the movie. Our genius director really knows how to depict every character. I have so much to say about this movie, but i think that will be all. Not Tarantino's masterpiece but a different,marvelous and high stylized approach,Thumbs Up. My Score is 8.5 but i am giving 9.

Man of Steel (2013)

Not a perfect Superman movie but filled with exhilarating action

[8/10 · 23 June 2013]

Zack Snyder,David S. Goyer and Christopher Nolan's Man of Steel,adaption of Superman by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster is innovative and pretty inventive with their new theory and visuals but it is still not up the mark as i expected from these guys,Especially from Nolan i expected as good as The Dark Knight. The hype couldn't let me resist from watching it. I have watched all the superman movies till this day and read a few comic books too. I would definitely say that 1978 version has better story than this. The character development and script is okay. Henry Cavill makes a great Superman but not expected Clark Kent. The one thing that stole the show is action,Special effects,splendid visuals and Digital animation all in 3D. It was a pretty good experience to watch the modified Krypton and superman powers in Perfect effects and 3D. Now waiting for the sequel ,hoping it would get better. Otherwise it was good movie.

Argo (2012)

Argo is a real winner

[9/10 · 2 June 2013]

I must say this movie is just amazing. I did not know about the Canadian Caper incident but now i know more than anything.

This is Ben Affleck's Masterpiece and it is breathtaking. Ben plays the master of disguise Tony Mendez and is quite a performance. Every actor especially who plays the trapped civilians are truly good. no wonder it has won an Oscar for Best movie and Best Adapted screenplay

Tense,dark,gloomy,clever and occasionally funny, it is so entertaining and not too long you would wonder how short it was.

Alan Arkin really makes us laugh with his clever jokes . Cinematography is top-notch. The locations,sets and everything about this movie is so great. The climax is incredible so are the credits.

R.I.P the victims and Praise the lord who sent a real hero to save those people and all the people who were on this case helping them.

In Nutshell,Argo is masterpiece of modern film making. it makes us so happy so you cannot resist without saying "Argo f**k yourself.

Zero Dark Thirty (2012)

Zero Dark Thirty is entertaining and stunning

[8/10 · 2 June 2013]

A lot of critics are saying that this is best movie ever made but on the other side audience is opposing it's fictional elements. I am taking neither side,i am just gonna write how i felt about the movie.

This movie was not made to depict the actual incident of OBL ,it's just a fictionalized version of the greatest manhunt in the history.

Jessica Chastain is quite pleasing with her acting and all the supporting cast too.

Technically ,it's really brilliant and thrilling ,must say the torture scenes looks quite real and disturbing. It's all about picking up the pieces for 10 years and BOOM ! Sound Editing is tremendously good. The movie get a little low between part because of it's highly detailed script about hunting ,some may will find it dull and boring but it's quite entertaining too.

The best part of the movie is the climax,the last thirty minutes where they raid OBL's house and kill him,which is also the name of the movie. it gives us chills and set our teeth on edge.

It may look wrong to some but in case of cinema and movie making. It is really great and enormous achievement .

Wreck-It Ralph (2012)

Splendid visuals and graphics with a winning story

[9/10 · 2 June 2013]

This is Disney's 52nd animated feature and i must say it's truly a magical film. It got some great visuals and graphics grinding through the whole movie,the soundtrack and background score is nice. It is a colorful and magical experience. Editing is perfect and most marvelous thing is the voice acting. John C. Reilly,Sarah Silverman,Jack McBrayer,Jane Lynch and Alan Tudyk did a fabulous job. This movie is surprisingly funny ,emotionally good and different story with a whole new concept. i don't think there is a world left by Disney's Studio,now it's the video game world. it sure make us feel nostalgic with all the characters and references.

I wonder how could it not have won the Oscar, it is much better than Brave. but as the movie's moral. "You don't need an award to tell you that you are better"

Disney has done it again,this roller-coaster adventure ride is a winner.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)

Epic Conclusion to the Epic series

[10/10 · 24 May 2013]

Dark,Thrilling,Engaging and entertaining. Visually breathtaking and emotionally wrenching,i really loved it. With the great performances by all the actors and with a great storyline. Final installment of this series was so waited and anticipated and it does not disappoint. One of the best movies so far.It can't be any good Harry Potter finally came to satisfying conclusion. I know it's somewhat disappointing for the franchise book lovers but it's best movie in the movie series. i loved how it ended and left a moral and great mark on all of our mind . But deep inside there is a sad feeling that there will not be Harry potter movies in the future . we will always miss you Harry Potter and your friends.
