I think this is pretty lame. And it is even more stupid to compare the ‘Battle of Thermopylae’ to the situation in Iraq and Bush to Leonidas or Xerxes. What’s with movie reviews these days? Apart from the great Greek war story, Frank Miller’s screen adaptation was the reason why I went to watch this [...]

Pan’s Labyrinth
Posted in Movies on January 23, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I like ‘Ofelia’, one of the key characters in the movie Pan’s Labyrinth. I feel pity for her innocence, sometimes irritated too. This movie is all about the way she tries to escape reality by dreaming about a fantasy world, and in parallel runs a story of a group of rebels trying to overthrow fascist rule in [...]
Casino Royale

I loved Daniel Craig in Layer Cake. I’m sure he would make a good bond, not that I am a big fan of Bond movies. But still. Judging by the latest reviews I think ‘Casino Royale’ wouldn’t be disappointing. Oh! I read that this movie has taken in more at the British box office than [...]
The ‘Rat’

I loved “Good fellas”, “The Aviator”, “Taxi driver”, “Mean streets”, needless to say enjoyed this one too – ‘The Departed’ by Matin Scorsese . Story runs around Boston Irish gangsters and cops(no spoilers here don’t worry), brutal violence, foul language and blood to sum it all. I’m not sure whom I liked the most- the [...]

Sudhir Mishra’s drama takes you back to the 60′s political turmoil, naxal movement and restless youth, revolves around three characters driven by ideologies of their own. Siddharth – an idealist from a leftist family and his pursuits. Geetha – (A classy dusky beauty who looks stunning in a saree and in western wear too. Sadly [...]

One of the best movies that I have watched in recent times. It has it all love, sex, blood, death and struggle for survival. Shot in beautiful Antarctica, this movie (documentary) explores the life of magnificent Penguins. You can watch the trailor here. March of the Penguins is a touching documentary, an incredible tale of [...]
Bang Bang

I could never buy the idea of hero(basically one guy) fighting a bunch of men and is victorious all the time. Partly the reason why I never enjoyed action movies. But music played and people sang, just for me , the church bells rang. Bang bang, he shot me down Bang bang, I hit the [...]

Two of my favourite movies “Easy Rider” and “Sideways” ; films on road, friends travelling and exploring. Easy Rider shot in the 60′s is a story of two yippes in search of freedom in corrupt America. An experiment to view life as a reflection of hope and liberation. Waytt and Billy, two bikers on a [...]

SAW – I was a good thriller. First time I saw SAW, I was impressed. Clever plot(though there were some scenes which could have been avoided, will get to those parts later), scenes gory(not scary at all, though it was hailed scariest movie of the year) and awful. It was a nice pysco/horror/thriller. The plot [...]
Sin City

Grim, dark, bloody, sinful, only words I can use to describe this movie! No, moral. Only violence, bloody that too. Action, action baby all the time. Just another story where men protect their women (this happens only in movies). Brilliant, superb and stunning is what I would say if you ask me what I feel [...]
