Cinema

List of movies which won't disappoint you.

SPY GAME - one of the few spy movies that i watched multiple times...true to its genre. Robert Redford and Brad Pitt at there best.

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE - irony of life - it will put a smile on your face.

LAYER CAKE -
Daniel Craig plays the lead...i hate him as bond, he's not suave or charismatic to be 007. But in layer cake he is superb...the movie is a wee bit long... but it sure is worth a watch.

LUCKY NUMBER SLEVIN -
I don't think this one would interest everybody, but it has Bruce Willis, Morgan freeman and Ben Kingsley in it... I Loved it.

LOVE ACTUALLY - stories of love, in everyday life....

ENGLISH PATIENT - one word "classic"

THE NOTEBOOK -
this one is such a treat to watch....a beautiful movie both visually and also content wise... 

JERRY MAGUIRE (1996) - "You had me at hello" and "Show me the Money" think everyone will remember that... : -)

AS GOOD AS IT GETS - (1997) - Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt - two veteran actors... fighting it out.
one of the best lines ever - "You make me want to be a better man.

GODFATHER....all 3 movies..nothing to say..although i liked 1 & 2 ....3 was a bit of a drag...anyways everybody knows... 

GOOD FELLAS.... typical...Martin Scorsese..one of his best...

CASINO - De niro and Joe Pesci....... two power houses of hollywood, they always make it explosive. 

MEMENTO.... Guy Pearce ...the lead actor has given a powerful performance... it will Psych you out... the screenplay is crazy...  

THE USUAL SUSPECTS.... mother of all twist end'ers...

CHILDREN OF MEN..... will make you think about what's important in our lives....the future ... what if this happens.

THE BANK JOB... Jason Statham...his Transporter movies are crap compared to this one...

REQUIEM FOR A DREAM...... r u an addict...watch this......

TRAINSPOTTING.....Ewan McGregor is really good....story about drug addicts....presented in a dark funny way. 

AMERICAN HISTORY X....watch it for edward norton.

FIGHT CLUB....the end of the movie... it will freak u out. 

CRANK - another Jason statham movie.... Transporter series is his worst....crank is a pure ADRENALINE RUSH. u will understand it once u watch te movie.....but i hate the ending of the movie.

CHAOS - Statham again....not a great one ...can watch it once....

LOCK, STOCK & TWO SMOKING BARRELS - very interesting....Guy Ritchie's debut. he mastered this genre with his later works.

THE DARK KNIGHT - Batman who.....this one is all about the JOKER.....HEATH LEDGER is GOD of acting......a class apart.....u will be scared..... :-)


Tropic Thunder - ben stiller directed this comdey...its about a bunch of hollywood actors who r making a movie on Vietnam war...robert downy JR is amazing in this ....but this movie is noway near stiller's meet the parents or some thing about mary movies...but te credits gave me a jolt...thr is this character ..the boss..te head of te company which produces the film .. watch out for it...u will be surprised..ing.]

Dan in Real Life....i didn't have much expectations...but it did give me a surprise....a pleasant movie to watch......


PLATOON - one of the best war movies ever... oliver stone has shown the harsh realities of Vietnam war...the background score is haunting.....the one person who was on par with the lead actor Charlie sheen was William dafoe.

ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND - Jim carrey reinventing himself. not the usual romantic comedy ...this is certainly not a Rom COM .. but it might put a ironical smile on your face... Kate Winslet is beautiful and true to the character she plays....Jim might have given his best performance ever...he has come out of his stereo type image in flying colors... this is one unique movie that one shouldn't miss.....


Batoru Rowaiaru AKA (Battle Royale) - one bloody gore fest....not up to HOSTEL standards...but crazy plot and well executed movie.......good one....not for the faint at heart.


Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain - French ..one of the best movies i have ever seen.. beautiful...sensitive....dreamy..quirky.....captivating...can go on n on…...can't wait to watch it again......

Cinema Paradiso - Italian movie.....A CLASSIC...MUST WATCH for all. This movie will be on the favorite list of a lot of filmmakers.

Amores Perros - Mexican film...personally it was a bit too long for me ...2 and half hours....a shorter version would be much more interesting ....anyways this is one of those must watch films...

RELIGULOUS - BIll MAHER goes around the world interviewing people of different faiths....insightful documentary......not for narrow minded people.....might be very offensive for people who are extremely religious..... shows some really stupid things people do in the name of religion.

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer - one of the most beautiful movies i have ever seen.....captivating story..... excellent cinematography....must watch.
