28 Days Later a must watch movie for post apocalytic lovers, better than the sequel, both movies rocks and kicks RE series right in the middle (RE is some tracks from various band + **** load of zombie action = sucks)

[ajayritik]

Watched Halla bol today! It was nice movie. I dont know why it didnt work at the box office, maybe it was too preachy!

[Ethan_Hunt]

Finally caught hold of Cloverfield.In one word,it's an AWESOME movie.Really well done with the whole handy cam thing.Feels like one is really in between the whole action.Really well done.

Harold & Kumar's 2nd installment has just released.Hope it is as good,if not better,than the first one.The first one was freakin hilarious.

28 days later was probably the first one in the currtent zombie movie series. I have seen most of them but none surpasses 28 days later.

Abyss much to its boxoffice failure was really enjoyble, the scene where ed harris (it was ed If I am not wrong...I saw it log time back) went down the ocean to find that nuke was really well made emotionally.

Ally tell me one thing do you watch a movie just for the entertainment sake or you really, critically analyse as well specially movies which are really good, made with an intention to be as close to reallity as possible. Coz if the case is the former one I can understand some of your coments on movies but in the latter case I simply cant justify quite a few of your comments, eg is clover field, which was definately made with an intension to be absolutely close to reallity and it fails miserably on various points If you ask me. Consider my below post on cloverfield which I posted a couple of pages before.......

ok watched Clover Field as well, did we discuses this movie on this thread........ how many actually watched it, I am pretty curious as to know how others felt about the movie. For me I guess the main objective of the movie was to create a monster attack as if it would have happened in reality and not like the Godzilla fantasy. Well for me it succeeded to only say about 40-50%. screenplay was obvious, CGI was perfect and absolutely believable, but what lacked for me was the intensity of the situation portrayed by the actors,(Which on the other hand was freaking awesome, and absolutely impeccable in United 93) second the decisions made by the group in such a catastrophic situation were nowhere believable, one small eg..

*****SPOILER******
If the main character was to save his girl friend so be it, why on the earth were his other casual friends following.......... if I were to be there, in such a disastrous situation I would be s*it scared and would try to pick the very first evacuation plan I get.
*****END OF SPOILER******

Plus lots of other factors I think could have been better and the movie could have been a cult..............neewhow..... still was enjoyable and definably once worth....

I'd really like to hear what others have to say.....

I will add to the above...... the camera movement though I agree made things look "real", but on numerious occations, the handeling of camera was absolutely unrealistic, where in people would not hold it in accordance to the siuation or would run back to actually grab it. eg again in the end....

****SPOILER****
When the monster eats one of their friend (who was holding the camera), the main character actually runs back to grab the camera.....I was like WTF!....lol who would do that man.........
**************
For me the movie only succeeded on the entertainment factor, but fails what it intends to actually portray.

ok watched Gone Baby Gone ...AMAZING absolutely thought provoking movie. AND it directed by "Ben Affleck"!!! cant believe it, Ben stick to direction man, forget acting...not for you.

[xbonez]

cloverfield was a gud movie, but a little unrealistic

1. his friends following him to save his GF
2. the army guy letting them go to find his GF
3. the camera handling...the image is rather stable even when Hud is runninf
4. amazing battery life and very rugged camera...continues working even after falling from a helicopter

[sam9s]

Spielberg is an idiot...

mmmmmm ........Any good reason....... I'd judge by his work and movies he gave us, not what he actually is in person(or portrayed).........

in the same way...Hemaish Reshameiya is an idiot too...but then he gave the score of "Namestay London, Tere Naam etc".......

cloverfield was a gud movie, but a little unrealistic

4. amazing battery life and very rugged camera...continues working even after falling from a helicopter

lol....good point I could'nt catch this one......also they actually bother to grab the camera after such an accident right in the middle of where the monster actually is.........

In response to your question Sam I have to say I watch movies for entertainment & entertainment only.If I go into critical analysis then I could nit pick many things which could make a good movie look average.Hence I choose not to & leave it purely upto it's entertainment value.I will be very honest and say that I have watched perhaps the shittiest of movies & might have found them funny.It's something which I can't describe but it just clicks.

*SPOILER WARNING*
Now coming to your query raised on Cloverfield.When I had first seen Cloverfield's trailer I thought it would be yet another cheesy monster rising from the sea & then military going all gung-ho on it's ass.In the end monster destroyed & we all live happily ever after.Well I was mistaken.The first half really made it look very realistic but the latter half was a bit overdone.The parts which I really hated was the monster suddenly jumping & attacking the very chopper in which Rob & party are making their possible "exit".That part killed the excitement & made it look like Godzilla attempt.The parts which were very well made were:
A.) when the first attack strikes the building in which Rob is having his farewell party.
B.)The destruction part on the streets
C.)The Head of Statue of Liberty blown away.
D.)Being attacked by those smaller aliens in the tunnel
E.)People being evacuated via Brooklyn bridge & Jason being squished.

The first 40-50 minutes were very exciting.Heck I even liked the part till they rescued Beth from her apartment.But then the end,which had to eventually boil down to the romantic "I Love You" part ticked me off.So yeah there are times when you feel like this movie could have been so much better.I personally felt the end could have been much better.Overall the whole run-with-the-camera thing was a good perspective from mundane "monster" flicks.This is what I liked about Cloverfield.But then again that was just my opinion.

mmmm that explains your comments, I knew otherwise they cant be justified. Then what do you have to say for movies like 12 Angry men and The man from earth which have zero commercial entertainment factor. I guess that would not be in your bag........

If you ask me I am totally opposite to, what your objective of movie watching is. I mean its not that I do not watch movies for entertainment, but if a movie is aclaimed/close to reality, life n ethics (in which ever way) I watch it very critically/observing all the nity gritties, like the recent one Gone Baby Gone is really very thought provoking movie, with questions to be asked on both ethical and moral grounds. Movies like Constant Gardner Hotel Rawandalist would go on........I watch and measure to the very depth and detail.

Now there are movies which suffice both the entertainment and reality factor which also I watch n judge very critically, e.g would be Black Hawk Down and Saving Private Ryan (both movies BTW are one of my best movies) and finally puerly entertainment movies like Bugs Life, Incredibles, and Ice Age are just awsome as well.

Some movies with no logic like Hot Shots I n II, Naked Gun, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey are also fun to watch...........

My scope usually is flexible according to movie I am watching, but if its a serious/ close to reality one I wait for the right mood coz otherwise I wont be doing justice to the movie i am watching..............hardcore Hollywood movie fan......,

Watched Run Lola Run and Full Metal Jacket, both are entertaining but Run Lola Run was certainly better than Full Metal Jacket, it was nice in the way that a lapse of time could trigger a very different outcome and an optimal one too
Run Lola Run was a play between chance v/s choice

Full Metal Jacket was more or less kinda seen before movie, it was subtle than Jacob's Ladder, which is too based on Vietnamese war. Jacob's Ladder still gives me chills.

+1

28 days later was probably the first one in the currtent zombie movie series. I have seen most of them but none surpasses 28 days later.

yeah next is Before Sunrise , cant wait to see a much younger julie Delpy, she kinda soothes my soul...angelic lady

Abyss much to its boxoffice failure was really enjoyble, the scene where ed harris (it was ed If I am not wrong...I saw it log time back) went down the ocean to find that nuke was really well made emotionally.

Yeah the only thing that bugged me was Aliens watching American TV , Overall the movie was absolutely fantastic underwater movie, I felt like crying when Alien tried to convey the message to the protagonist by showing what human is doing actually.

The revival of Lindsay from death was one of the most emotional scene ever pictured.

I watched a movie yesterday "Hottie and the Nottie". *ing Paris Hilton and some others. The movie has no point to it, but it brought much entertainment. Hilton is always wearing short shorts and stretching about the place so that is a lot of eye candy. Watch it when you have nothing better to do.

[Faun]

^^was that in HD ?

[goobimama]

Sorry dude. I wouldn't download such a crappy movie. Was just that I didn't have anything to watch, and my friend had dumped this movie on my hard drive. Front Row makes you feel like watching stuff...

[iMav]

An Inconvenient Truth - Al Gore's documentary on Global Warming, it's like a presentation, a keynote if I may say so. Really interesting & informative

This movie has a record. The lowest rating ever on IMDB.

[goobimama]

I'm serious. Check it out. Its not so bad. Maybe I wasn't expecting much. In any case, even if it sucks, you still get to see Paris Hilton trying to act...

[iMav]

^^watch 1 night in paris .... no acting all natural

Thanks for recommending a korean movie, A Moment To Remember. For me it turned out to be mother of all alzheimer-movies. A total tear jerker.

So the Alzheimer list includes - A Moment to remember(Korean) 2004, Notebook 2005, 50 first dates(not quite), Away from her, U me aur Hum(turns out to be khichadi of all of the above with bad bollywood masala).

Second good korean movie I saw after The Tale Of Two Sisters.

The look of their(korean) movies is quite decent. So is the direction. Its just that the language pisses me off. It doesn't sound too good to a foreigner's ear.

A non-english speaking european said to me once that Indian language (was speaking hindi that time) sounds good to ears to a foriegner, unlike korean,chinese etc langage which are bit repulsive for a non-speaker.

Spanish doesn't sound that bad. I again very highly recommend Mar adentro (The Sea Inside) to those who haven't seen it.

Everyone sees it just to check how it landed up with such a yucky rating.
You really liked it?

[goobimama]

I'm serious. It wasn't all that bad.

@iMav: Favourite movie of all time!

Then you might also want to try Sharkwater. Equally effective.
