INCEPTION

very good movie.But then again the ending is left for the viewers to guess.

Some people think that english movies r close to life...where 99% of english movies r just impossible

Yes they are... a whole lot of them, and so I rate them accordingly as well ....., but 99% .... if you wanna debate at least talk realistically .....

I do not know where does the figure of 99 came from, but most of those movies which you are pointing to also give reasons to connect themselves to reality. Thats what I think. In hindi movies the director/actor think that the audience are imbeciles or they will believe whatever they do. That is the reason I hate most of the bollywood movies (with exception of Hritik, Abhay and Aamir who are delight to watch and SRK is my personal fav because of his acting skills though I hate the kind of movie he usually does)


Talking about Inception...I believe that the "totem" stops spinning and falls eventually. Sorry I missed the discussion back there guys as watched it yesterday only.

9.5/10 for brilliant idea behind the story/movie

[rhitwick]

IMO, both bollywood and Hollywood has its share in impossible scripts.

We may produce majorly same old love stories but then again they have a tendency of making majorly sci-fi movies.

In both the genres, it requires writer's imagination how and what will happen...hence u end up watching something that is impossible in real world and real-life scenario.

But, again, both bollywood and hollywood produces its share of movies on serious subjects with a serious tone.

So, declaring all bollywood content as bullsh1t and all hollywood content as realistic is insane.
Both the industries have quality content to offer.

Need to review few movies that I've watched in past few days.

Du rififi chez les hommes 7.5/10

Now I know what has inspired the lot of bank robbery movies. This movie has more realistic approach to a robbery without tech help. Has a good drama and commendable acting by all members.

Laboratory 8/10

Bengali movie by Raja Sen
Raveena Tandon, Sabyasachi, Ranjit Mallik, Arpita

When a movie says story by Rabindranath Tagore, you should know it won't be easy to digest. A complex story with very bold dialogs. A story written centuries ago still holds true for certain types of character in daily life. Got a copy with hardcoded english subs. Those who love good story with good acting can go for this.

Another two movies that I've watched while on holiday,
Byomkesh Bokshi 8.5/10 [Bengali movie]
[this is a biased review, I'm a die hard Byomkesh fan....sooooo]

Based on original story "Adim ripu" by Saradindu Bandopadhyay.
The detective element in this story is not much but I think I know why this story was made into a movie. It has such colourful bunch of characters that would attract any director. A complex relation mixed with lust, greed, blackmail and murder.
Nicely acted by Abir as Byomkesh and Saswata as Ajit.
Good try. At least someone is caring to bring Byomkesh to screen after so long.

Dui Prithibi 5/10 [bengali movie]
Jit, Dev, Koel and Barkha

Went for Koel Mallik purely and she has such less screen time. Good concept but very long and boring.
Oh has a good try for item no. too
Song is already famous in bengal

[sujoyp]

Aaah it seems I have started war of words........I not looking forward for any more debates...
Enjoy movies

[ajayritik]

Watched Alice in Wonderland in Imax 3D. 6/10

[Piyush]

watched suprerbad
7/10

comedy flick on a low diet

[ajai5777]

Inception - 9/10

Finally I watched it.I expected a lot and it offered me much more.One of the best movies I have ever seen.I wasnt impressed by the opening (as I didnt get the concept).But after the scene in which ariadne entered cobb's dream, I started to get it and I was immersed in it.The last scene may lead to some theories and debates like matrix movies did but I like to see that as his original life.

Actually its my 3rd nolan movie after those batman movies.Now I think I should watch memento and the prestige.

[a_medico]

^^ You'd love both. And Memento more if you have already watched Ghajini

[Piyush]

^^^cant tell about memento,but prestige is nice movie...a really different movie

[ajai5777]

^^ You'd love both. And Memento more if you have already watched Ghajini

Already watched both Ghajinis

[Nithu]

Scott Pilgrim vs The World - 8.5/10
Woww... this one is really great movie, nice humour and really nice visual & special effects.

[Rahim]

^Thanks Nithu, that looks really interesting.

[R2K]

Has anybody seen the social network
It says its abt the orgin of facebook......i have it with me but i got no time to watch it.....

[Faun]

Dawn of The Dead

[Nithu]

@a_rahim Yes, it is. must watch one...

[rhitwick]

Big Stan 5.5/10

Another movie on looser to hero. But Rob Schneider doing martial arts is not acceptable. HIs action scenes are so dumb and so slow that it seems he waiting to be prompted for the next move to make.

Spoiler:

So Rob Schneider is convicted for a land fraud. He is sentenced for 3yrs in jail. Now he fears he might get raped in jail. Somehow he manages to buy 6 months before his term starts. During this he learns martial arts. Goes to jail and becomes a hero beating everyone.

Acting is good, but directing is bad. Has occasional laugh and the ending is just hurried.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World ?/10

I'm yet to make any opinion about. Was it good? Don't know. Was it bad? Don't know? Did I get this movie? Not sure. Why was it made? Not sure. Did I enjoy this movie? Somewhat.

Well most of the movie I did not get. If you call it a movie just because it claims to have a plot and people acting in it, then it is. Even mickey mouse, tom and jerry cartoons has more sane plots.

I found it inspired by Chasing Amy (Ramon flowers). And the fight scene with the twins is a copy of Kung-fu Hustle only Kung-fy hustle was better in that scene.

Those who liked it, please let me know what I'm supposed to like in it. Yes there are witty dialogs, funny situations but felt more like a series of sitcoms are stitched together.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer 6/10

Henry is a serial killer and he kills and kills and kills.
And he goes away and the movie is finished.

Has a few disturbing scenes (not that violent but can be shocking to newcomers) and nothing else.

Semi-pro 5/10

Just a few decimals better than to be listed in must not watch thread.

Knight and Day

[a_medico]

The social network - It's commendable that David Fincher tried to make a hatke movie based on founder of facebook. I don't think it would appeal to non geeky people though. The filters used on the camera by Fincher reminded me of Fight Club.

By the way, Four Lions is releasing in US this week.

Vertigo 8.5/10
By Hitchcock, that should be enough for this movie.
Oh yeah, it has James Stewart.

Dial M for Murder 10/10

Yes, its a perfect 10. After a long time saw a perfect thriller. Right from the beginning it just kept amusing me. Every twist and turn were believable, not forced. Such and awesome acting by everyone. Oh hell, who am I reviewing, Hitchcock?!!! NO I don't dare to, just watch this guys.......if you have not watched it, you have not watched anything.

TRANSFORMERS : Revenge of the fallen ....... Just finished the second viewing on my Bluray and my HT.

I dont know what were people expecting from this movie, I read couple of comments from Rotten tomatoes and IMDB and I was like WHF ...... This movie in all probability is one of the best huge action extravaganza i have seen since Matrix Trilogy (Just comparing the Action).

Everything good or bad the first had, was multiplied by the second, and what you get is pure criticism, about cheezy lines, flat humor, retard storyline,......blah blah.......OKIE then what did we have in the first........exactly same.....but just because it was a new concept of Transformers animation converted to full blown movie with top notch CGI everything worked and all negative aspects accepted.

Now when the same thing is repeated, it becomes the subject of criticism. If the director had tried something else, and if the movie had not worked the same people would have said, "when the director had the working formula with the first installment, when he had the correct ingredients...what was the need to trying something different, he should have stuck with the same treatment ..................." ....stupid people .....

I tell you if you liked the first Transformers irrespective of its very cheezy humor and dialogues you will love the second, HECK i'd say even if you did not like the first, but love mind blowing fast paced action, will just adore "Revenge of the fallen" the action is just pure adrenaline pumping, the last 30 minutes is neck breaking. Forget the cheezy humor (which infact at times was really funny)..... the story line for me was enough to keep you interested, the way megan fox was used (or exposed for that matter) was exactly similar to the way she was in the first installment, so I dont know what was all the fuss about.

6.8/10 for this

For me this was a truly entertaining movie much like the first one,

Fight Club 8/10

Ya ya...I'm late I know but better late than never

So what's the hype about this movie? What is so amazing this movie. Sure it has brilliant acting by Edword Norton and Bard Pitt but I've seen more split personality movies to be amazed by it.

Good but not great

Kaam ka plot /710
Ranvir Shorey, Sandhay Mridul, Vinay Pathak.

When a movie has Ranvir Shorey and Vinay Pathak, you know you have to see it. But Vinay Pathak does a cameo in this movie. Its totally on Ranvir Shorey's shoulder. And he performs the role beautifully. Director is Minty Tejpal. He does movie review on Mumbai Mirror that is how I know him.
The movie first showed in Mumbai film festival few weeks back and directly to Zoom channel today 3PM.

Spoiler:

Take "The Truman Show" and turn it into a thriller and add "Khosla ka Ghosla" and you get "Kaam ka Plot". Well, what more can you expect from Minty Tejpal. In his reviews he sometimes finds concepts very original which I know of being a copy. I guess he has seen less movies than me. Ab main bhao nahi kha raha hoon. It just seemed to me sometimes reading his reviews. Well, considering the movie on its own. Good acting, short (but seemed lengthy at times), good acting by all the leads. You can try.
