You may be wondering why I decided to post a series review here. Well because it is classic. South Park is probably one of the best sarcastic series/movie I have ever seen. Most episodes take a crack at some of our beliefs, habits or traditions that we follow mindlessly. If you haven't seen the series, start watching. In a few days you would be addicted to it. No wonder there are so many South

This movie won the Oscar for the Best Animated Short. And boy they deserved it! It is a is a classic retelling of the Prokofiev's musical tale. But, the way it has been portrayed left me amazed about how a beaten to death story can be presented in a new form.The animation is nice. My only gripe against the movie that the creators did not pay much attention to rewriting the stroy despite having

It is a brilliant insane movie. I could go on and on about the movie. Some of the quotes in this movie are mindblowing practical pieces of advice. But that not why I am raving about this movie.The camera work on a black and white film is outstanding. The angles, the style, the motion...The story line is innovative; I don't think there are better directorial debuts out there. Nevertheless, I must

I wish I hadnt watched this movie. I would love to have the experience of watching this movie for the first time once over. The reviews you can see on IMDB. What I would tell you is a viewer's experience.'Whereas once I was blind, now I can see.'-John 9:25 This is the central theme of the movie. And I can assure you after you have watched this movie, you will have the same realization too. Life

Its long since I last wrote anything on this blog or infact anywhere. And here I return with a movie is totally different genre. However despite being in the horror genre it doesnt scare you throughout with scary faces. The visual effects are too appealing. Infact the whole mood of the film is set because of the excellent use of visuals and sounds. Acting too is superb, even from the child actor.

Only a few 2nd parts are as good as the original. This movie thrills you. Held together mostly by two characters. Ripley- an epitome of an action heroine and Newt-one of the cutest child characters. Its an action/Sci-fi movie everybody is bound to love. However something I missed in this movie is a twist which was novel in Alien. The music is gripping and you too feel a part of this movie. Enjoy

Its one of those movies I can write a book about. Alas I dont have enough time. In a nutshell, I can say this, if you havent seen this movie, you have missed on a novel experiment to film making.The whole film consists just of a set of still B/W shots. Shots which convey a lot. Within shots there are dialogues, phrases i would remember forever,such as"Nothing sorts out memories from ordinary

Terry Gilliam's Brazil is one of my all time favorite movies. He shows his class once again in Twelve Monkeys. A perfect Sci-fi suspense thriller based on the famous 'La Jetee' (reviews comings). It was difficult to guess everything till the very end.Brad Pitt and Bruce Wills put in an amazing performance. The actress too puts in a brilliant performance. Watch this movie. You cant miss it.

I would just like to point out I love the way Nolan has transformed a simple comic character into a movie with a message: Conquer your fears, only that makes your life Hell. Cinematography/Editing... I would give thumbs up to NolanOverall 7/10

All supporters of Slumdog, watch this movie and then you will know what a classic is like-the quality of good directors, good editing, cinematography..a good film that can move you.This is one of the most moving films I'v ever seen close on heels of Ray's Pather Panchali and Majidi's Children of Heaven. It portrays the character of a blind boy (Mohammed)who knows he is unwanted by even his close

This is an absolute crap pomantic comedy. Probably not comparable to other movies I have reviewed in this blog. But still this movie moved me. And here I am.The storyline is almost predictable. Yet its the execution which is near flawless. Meg Ryan is sweet, innocent and jolly yet has a depth of character.The chemistry between Hanks and Meg is enviable. And the wit and wisdom that one garners

The tagline for this movie (Somewhere between science and superstition, there is another world. The world of darkness) moved me and drew me to watch this movie. Contrary to what others may say, this movie is not a horror movie. In my opinion the director even didnt want to make a horror movie. There is no sudden brandishing of scary face that is cliche in many other films. Its a terrifying

"In space, no one can hear you scream". So true. Its a horror sci-fi that will remain an evergreen good watch. This movie has one of the best anti-climax ever seen on celluloid. There are two very good twists in this movie which I love.The direction is just perfect as is the editing. Background score, cinematography etc everything is almost perfect in this movie. However there is too much of

NB: This is not a classic. Not even close to it. I am writing this review because I cant tolerate the hype that this movie is generating. If you want to see a good movie on the life in slums, see Dharavi or Salaam Bombay. If this gets to Oscars, Salaam Bombay should have swept it. This movie lacks the basic tenets of a classy movie. The premises of this story are so stupid that even a 5 yr old

Its a movie about infidelity. A movie about the colors of life in black and white. Infidelity for no apparent reason. This movie is a emotional journey through the aftermath of infidelity. The acting in this movie is awesome especially by Konkona. The treatment in black and white makes it artistic. However I felt few scenes in color or sepia would have made even more impact. The ending is

One more of those movies that wont leave you impressed the first time you watch it. I wasnt atleast. But as I analyzed it, I found it to be extremely subtle and poignant. have to see this movie again. I saw the director's cut. Have the see the original next time.The whole film is set in a sombre ambiance. The cramped, busy streets of the Oriental town shown in this movie is so true everywhere.

When I first watched this movie along with a friend, we both concluded that this movie was trash and overhyped. Now, after some thought I realize that it was a good movie..much better than many others..Its a different kind of film(or a normal Truffaut film) which is not pure entertainment..it has to be analyzed to understand the significance.The biggest problem with this movie is that it is

Animation again. Do you hate rats? Arent they the nuisance makers? Well I loathed rats. Before watching this film that is. I kind of love rats now. Even want to have one as a pet :)Again a sweet, enjoyable film. But it has a message. Dont undermine anybody. Even a rat may be able to cook!!!!! Its like a parable. Often in life we are blown away by prejudices. And most of these prejudices are based

I would say the same thing that everybody says about this film-"I love Wall-E". He/It is one of the cutest animation characters I have ever seen. And I love the way he says "Evaa". The storyline is simple. Just like an anime should be. But its thoroughly enjoyable. Whatever agegroup you might me in and whatever mood you might be in, there would be an unfading smile on your face when this movie

"I would like to die; they wouldn't let me to"-> "You cant have everything in life" The film starts with such a dialog, but then what it shows is that if you are determined you can get everything in life. Your heart will dance and weep to the tunes of this movie. Yeah this looks like just another teen love story set in astounding locales. But there is lot more to it. The film is set in an

This is one of the most disturbing and haunting movies I have ever seen. It has all kinds of adultery superposed with a spastic child's view of the commencement of the 2nd world war. In a way its just a disturbing Forrest Gump.Its a totally different kind of cinema..where the director shocks you out of your senses. The performance is awesome. The kid really looks like a man trapped in a child's

One of the best Westerns I have ever seen... after Good bad and the Ugly probably..... and what makes it different from other westerns is its attitude..... An attitude one should take in life... laugh at every situation in life....Even when Butch and Kid were shot and were surrounded by forces on all sides he was joking about going to Australia... hats off..The script is witty and full of
