Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)
breath of fresh air
A breath of fresh air in these formula times. While everyone else cashes in on old titles, brands and superheros, the film is surprisingly unique. Totally new age and ultra hip, it makes u feel you hang somewhere between the future and the past. A totally non-earthy feel, yet human storyline and characters makes for a strangely 'happy' movie.The is story is marvelously set by the comic strips in the introduction, on to which the whole family/love drama is pasted on. The musics great, especially 'Zydrate Anatomy' and throughout the movie the story and dialoges are brilliantly delivered in songs, and even if your are not a fan of musicals, this will make you want more. BRILLIANT!!, although the ending could have been more ... dramatic
Dil (1990)
Wow..a classic, a must see
I have been seeing this movie again and again since childhood when i owned it on a VHS (and stooped watching it when my VCR broke)..anyway the film is hilarious in the beginning and an excellent die-hard romance story in the end with a not so obvious happy ending. The movie is great to watch, amazing for college kids form any era, the film is fantastic, the songs are amazing, the whole vibe is so young and hip. It has all the cool hip college stuff about parties and bunking classes in the beginning and in the end it turns into something like a romantic coming of age adventure, where the hero (amir khan) and heroine (madhuri) live their life somehwere else (well complemented by a song). There is even a rape scene inbetween after which their love begins, much better then beating up thugs, an excellent change for the Indian cinema at that time. We can see that the way the move goes was probably inspired by some American movies (perpahps grease) however the movies tempo was also taken up in johar and yash movies i.e. a comic beginning, a sad middle and a happy end. Very nicely done, spectacular, the characters are what they should. Amir and Madhuri look excellent for the role, both were young (they still are) at the time and did their parts with true honesty. Same goes for others and each character changed from a comic to aserious one in the later HALF of the movie. Brilliant, just brilliant
Independence Day (1996)
Excellent movie
I must say, i remember the first time i saw this movie... it was the most amazing thing i had ever seen. Never before had the sight of alien invasion looked so realistic on screen. I movie was full of cool, big ships, casting shadows on everything as the came into the atmosphere. The whole experience was so realistic, it really made you believe it could happen. In short this is the best alien movie, anyone could watch, with anyone at anytime.
The best thing about the movie showed the reactions of people around the world, to probably the biggest thing that had ever happened to earth. The TV news, the car jams, the president's message. Everything was so well done, that it just couldn't have been done better. It is also visually the most stunning movie since star wars. The technology is old, nothing new...but the whole ships coming and fighting scenes were brilliantly made.
The movie has everything..good actors, good action, good storyline, good direction and of course a good end...
