Final Destinatin Part 3

It was not a cool movie. To know what FD is, check out its initial two parts. My fav is part two.

Anatomy of a Murder: 160 minutes of drama YET i didn't liked the conclusion. Pretty hollow.

The tournament.

stumbled upon this movie.
after watching this now i understood from where that stupid movie luck (hindi,2009) was taken from.

anyways this movie is far better than its stupid bollywood version.

actually this movie is not good either but then again not bad one either few parts of it were quite a bit cheeesy but rest of it are quite thrilling!

overall this movie is worth a watch atleast for once.

Don't post if you are going to chicken and delete it later.


To the movies:

Kiki's Delivery Service: 9/10, what awesome anime. Miyazaki is a genius. Must watch.

My neighbour Totoro: 9.5/10, wonderful fantasy, again must watch. Such innocent stories are hard to come by. Same with Kiki.

Amores Perros: 9/10, brilliant film. Well directed and well spun tale.

if you liked these watch howl's moving castle, Ponyo, Whisper of the heart - all by Hayao Miyazaki...

Alive (1993) - Amazing tale of survival. Nice watch. Also a remake would be great if ever made.

Just back from a show of Prince of Persia :- The Sands of Time. I am really confused as to what to say about it. I expected it to lineary follow the game story (which would have been awesome). But no, they attempted something new and the movie followed a completely different plot. Now I don't quite like this plot. It's average.

As a hardcore fan of the games, I was dissapointment. The action is very less and being a Disney movie, it dosen't have gore/blood (yes, not at all!). On the other hand the stunts and effects are good and 'believable'

The actors could have been better and in my opinion Jake Gyllenhall (pardon the spelling) just dosen't fit as the prince. Plus his name (Daastan) is stupid. The direction on the other hand is nice and the landscape is quite picture-esque!

All in all, it's a mixed bag. It will dissapoint you if you are a big fan of the games.

5.5/10

Prince of Persia : Sands of Time 6/10

As a die hard fan of the game I had to go to the movie even I knew it has Jack Gyllenhaal.

Story: I expected to have at least 70% of the story of original game but what they did is took the twists and turns from the game and in between placed their own version of story. Which just sucks. Why can't they keep the original story, that has every potential to be made into a movie.
The story they show here just sucks, scene to scene transitions are very loosely connected and the incidents that make the story go from one scene to another is just so clichéd. And what with the initial orphan story????

Acting: Who the hell casted Jack Gyllenhaal as prince. He just lags the charm. He seems more like a hero from a rom-com never ever a warrior. Every expression he showed in such casual manner that even the environment is tensed he alone makes u uninterested in whats happening around. Rest all are average. The prince character is not explored totally.

Cinematography: Good but not lavish. Being a story of ancient time and kings, magic it should have been beautiful to eyes but the sets are very poor (in terms of cheap). Camera angles are conventional and un-necessary close-ups used. What impact does a horse with shield do to u if its shown for a few seconds on screen. Nothing, it bores u.

Directing: Good not gr8. THe director should have played the game himself b4 making it into a movie. He should have then caught the magic of POP properly.

Action/Spl. effects: Stunts are good if judged individually. But, u know why POP was so gr8, its only because of prince's awesome acrobatic skills and out of the world fight sequences. This movie tries to achieve it but just fails. I don't know why, they had the backing of Disney, could have easily spent more for special effects. The wall runs, the wall to wall jumps, two sword fights came and gone in a minute. The action kept me thirsty for more. But, I would admit, a few scenes are made very well. The chase scene after King dies, snake fight scene are good for eye.

Verdict: One time watch. Get the HD version, not very spectacular to be watched in theater.

I am not at all surprised.

lol at first i was also interested at the movie.but when i came to know that the prince has a name in this film and that too a weird one.i lost all my interest in it.even at the trailers some dialogues felt really cheesy.

BTW Jake Gyllenhaal is ok with the lead.though i am not sure.but from the comments of you guys it seems he didnt acted very well.or the director didnt put much things.

[Krow]

Whisper of the Heart: 10/10. My favourite Miyazaki anime as of now. The song Country Road (Japanese) is so awesome. So is the whole movie. Must must must watch.

[red dragon]

21,a very good movie.A story of a few MIT students who were exceptional in counting cards,loosely based on a true story.

^ yep a good one seen long back.......

+1000...just saw the movie today & i am so pissed..who the hell came up with such a shitty story...the whole movie was so cliched & predictable & average...Jake Gyllenhaal looked like the Prince of Persia but did not act like him at all...the stunts & action have been reduced to average from what we've seen in the games...the movie really didn't do justice to the game..

All those aspiring critics here check out Taran Adarsh interviewing Rajeev Masand (CNN-IBN critique), Minty Tejpal (Mumbai Mirror) and Meena Iyer (TOI) on film reviewing.

Its a nice watch to know what the professional critics think.

The Wrestler - A very average stuff. I didn't expect it to be too good but then I thought its Darren Aronofsky(Requiem for the dream, The Fountain) after all! On top of it, the soundtrack and the use of music in the movie was a complete let down especially considering outstanding music in both of the previous movies. But good acting and okay script.

[a_medico]

Thirst (Bakjwi) - That was one of the most weirdest and fcuked up movies I have seen till date! If you liked Let the right one in, you'd probably like this one too. But this one has very strong sexual content and is a bit too fcked up. Watch it for yourself to see what I mean!

p.s. - Its by the director of Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Lady Vengeance and Oldboy!

This is what u should have wrote in "bold"

b/w, oldboy is going to be aired today in "UTV World Movies"....they are sure gonna all those scenes

Anchorman 6/10

Took a break from House and watched this. An attempt to black comedy. Missed the comedy and black elements are less.

[Psychosocial]

^Seen it long back. It's an okay movie.

Watched a lot of movies in the past months. Will try and remember some. Let's see...

-->Grindhouse - Death Proof - 8.5/10
-->Pulp Fiction - 9/10
-->The Dark Knight (23rd time i guess) - 9/10
-->A Walk to Remember - 4/10 ... tried cause my GF was bugging me to watch it. And the low score is just due to my personal grudge against romance films and the boredom they induce in me. Your opinions may differ.
-->PS I Love You - 5/10 ...same story as above
-->American Psycho - 8/10
-->The Ugly Truth -- 7/10
-->Halloween (Rob Zombie version) -- 7/10
-->Iron Man 2 -- 6.5/10 ...dunno why but didn't dig it as much as the first part
-->Badmaash Company -- 4/10 ...do this shitheads even know the basic rules of commerce ?
-->Housefull -- 4/10 ...the **** ?
--> Phoonk 2 -- 3/10 ...lmfao
-->Clash of the Titans -- 6/10 ...meh
-->Kickass -- 6.5/10 ...okay movie
-->The Prestige -- 8/10 ...great stuff
-->Kites -- 3/10 ...Was Rakesh Roshan trying to kill the viewers from boredom ? What the **** is wrong with this people ? The dance sequence in the beginning is great though.
-->Lost in Translation -- 6/10 ...just watched it for Scarlett Johansson
-->Shutter Island -- 7.5/10 ...watched it in HD recently
-->The Good, The Bad and The Ugly -- 8/10 ...the classic! When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk! Awesome
-->The Hurt Locker -- 7/10 ...good movie though dunno what's up with all the oscars it won.

[Piyush]

whats so good in PULP fiction?

[Psychosocial]

I like the direction and how the story is stringed together with bits and pieces. It's got the classic Tarantino all over. The wicked dialogues, the action scenes, the direction, etc .

Also Karthik Calling Karthi - 7.5/10 ...only sensible bolly film to come out this year. Though there are a few noticeable loopholes in the plot, it's overall a good flick.
