Shanghai (2012)
Very well done Dibakar Banerjee
I am happy after watching this movie not because the movie has a optimistic feel to it (its actually the exact opposite,as it should be) but on seeing how dibakar has used a story that is so real and holds true to a country like India where the present political system is so corrupt and the power hungry mongers will go to any extent to achieve money and power without thinking about the implication that it might cost. Now coming back to the movie,the location used looks like a true Indian city or a town. People who are fed up of seeing lavish houses in most of the Indian movies or only foreign locations and fell guilty as more than 90% of the people don't have that luxury will be content. Acting wise i am happy with all except Kalki Koechlin,some how she seems too plastic in her acting but i think she did her best. So looking at the way Indian politicians and its citizens our behaving India has a bleak future but if such movies are made which have an overall good story,acting,locations and such and puts forward realism than hypocrisy as in many other Indian films,Indian cinema has a bright future. So hats off to the whole team involved especially Dibakar Banerjee for his efforts in making a movie such as this. Good work Keep it up.
The Grey (2011)
One of the better men stranded in wilderness movie
This is a movie to be watched by all adventure/Thriller genre liker's. There are many reasons for that 1.This is a movie that's has been made out of a less cliché ridden story. 2.This is as realistic as a Hollywood movie has been made in terms of the gravity of a situation like this 3.They have marvellously captured Alaska In snow.Some of the images itself invoke feelings of great despair and its sheer beauty. 4.Many of the reviewers have complained about how true is that wolves may actually behave that way and that men would have died more so because of severe cold environment,which may be true but whats depicted in the movie is also a scenario that can happen ultimately its just a movie that gives us some thrills. 5.But what sets it apart from all other movies in the same vein is its believable ending. So go watch it, buy or rent its DVD one things for sure you will have a different kind of movie experience.
Avatar (2009)
a movie ,just good to look at ,thats it nothing else
Just cant understand the kind of things that happen. This movie won best picture and best director award for what reason,just for use of great technology and because it looks immensely beautiful,then award them for best special effects.No one can deny that it has an extremely familiar story. Something that we must have innumerable times.Even a bit of change in its story could have made it an interesting watch.But fellow IMDb members what surprises me is not why it costs so much or how it made so much money but how could it win a Best picture or Director awards? Is this the work of huge studios playing foul,by keeping the juries of these award functions happy through various means? I mean there so many good movies waiting to see the light of the day here is AVATAR taking or should i say being given such credits. James Cameron is an excellent director no doubt who has made some of the best Sci-Fi movies. But how could he go ahead with such crappy story and spent so much on it. But maybe this is what is movie business.Until such movies keep getting made by studios and also end making billions out it ,people, it will be difficult for movies with a good story to get made.
Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (2009)
was this funny?
when you watch a Hindi movie especially a comedy movie i know not to expect much of a good story.But this movie tested all the limits,i mean what was this all about,was this funny at all.There should be some story for keeping the audience interested , do the filmmakers even care for it.The characterization was horrible, and there's not comic relief whatsoever except for 2 or 3 scenes.Why cant the Hindi film industry make at least one intelligent or forget intelligence at least completely entertaining comedy movie in the likes of hera pheri. Please i suggest to all of you don't watch this movie and get bored and waste your money.The are some many other world movies worth watching. Help your self by not watching it.
Martyrs (2008)
ultimately a truly satisfying horror movie
One good horrifying experience.Never seen such a meaningful as well as a bloody horror movie.Storyline is perfect,direction by Pascal Laugier is remarkable, acting is flawless and everything else.I don't want to dwell into what the movie is about because that might just spoil the movie watching experience.But i like add one thing about why i call this horror movie meaningful, its because just look around whats happening on this planet, people fight and kill others on account of each others religion,color or even just for no reason or just make up some reason and go on a war.People have lost control on themselves , and have no patience to just sit and think what this life is all about and appreciate it as its truly magnificent.People follow religion to know the truth behind all this, some want astrology to predict their future some want to know what really happens after death and leave science only to the poor scientists. Goodness,what a catastrophe is being made by humans in this world.GO WATCH THIS MOVIE and add this movie to your DVD collection.
