Manorama Six Feet Under (2007) - Got damn good !!

Sunday, September 30th, 2007

Layerd , Complex, Involving Noir flick , oh yes im talking of a hindi film , belive it. Manorama Six Feet Under has to be in the top three flicks out of bollywood this year. A dark murder mystery with a suspense element beyond the usual & something which makes one try to piece […]

Die Hard 4.0 (2007)

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

I didnt expect much from this movie as soon as i learnt it was hacking based , i mean boring. There isnt anything left there to see already. Havent we all watched too much of 24 already. After 24 everything seems more or less been there seen that. But still Die Hard […]

Blue Velvet (1986) - Cinophile’s Pick

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

Blue Velvet is not your average rental which you can just pickup watch & forget about it a few days down the line. Few movies can stay as vivid in memory as Blue Velvet, it really does stick with you for life. I for one have seen this movie as many times possible & each […]

1408 (2007) - Movie Review

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

Im big on horror movies, specially anything from stephen king & usually i am disappointed with movie adaptations of his work. 1408 is short story from king’s 14 Dark Tales (and a very fine one at that) With most horror movies going in for too much CGI or too much blood / gore to […]

Dhamaal (2007) - First Rate Piece Of Thrash

Monday, September 17th, 2007

There has been a spate of multiple leads comedies lately, some worked, most didnt & almost all were equally bad. Dhamaal is actually no exception. There are bad movies , there are movies that are so bad that they are good but dhamaal is absolutely on another level of bad. And the worst part […]

Ocean’s Thirteen (2007) - Movie Review

Sunday, September 16th, 2007

Ocean’s thirteen might just be the ocean’s triology’s best movie yet. Everyone loved Ocean’s Eleven, it was quircky, fast paced & very slick , something which are much used to for a Soderbergh movie. Oceans’s twelve had a sort of a mixed response , though it did really well at the box office setting up […]

Knocked Up - Totally Hilarious

Saturday, September 15th, 2007

Knocked up did sound to me like just another standard american comedy movie with a few crude jokes here there but it was directed by Judd Apatow whose “The 40 Year Old Virgin” was howlarious.
 
Knocked up works because the situations are absolutely something one can totally relate to. The jokes range from ribticklingly […]

Review : Darling (2007)

Friday, September 14th, 2007

With the horrendously horrible aag still burning in my memory , my thoughts went on to whether RGV was over, i mean he has created a niche for himself , quite a reputation & well some artists do have a burnout, and this was actually more evident with the 2006 movie directed by him title […]

Cinophile’s Pick : Raakh (1989)

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

Dark, Stark, Atmospheric, Eerie are words that we usually cannot use for hindi movies. But if there is a movie which would have everything of that and a whole lot more to offer, it has to be Aditya Bhattacharya’s Cult movie “Raakh”. Might i add few hindi movies reach the status of a cult movie.
 
Its […]

Movie Review : Silver Streak (1976)

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

There are some movies which never get dated, never seem to be out of current scheme of things, Silver Streak is one of them. I gotta admit i find a lot of comedies of the older generation terribly unfunny, i wont belittle them by saying they aren’t funny , but i find hard to relate […]
