United 93 (2006)
I am so touched by watching the events that occured on September 11, 2001. I can just imagine how the people on the plane must be feeling after being hijacked and knowing that they are going to die. I felt as if im into the movie and when one of the planes hit the World Trade Center, my god, was i left stunned or what. I could actually feel the vibes inside of me. It felt as if i saw it in real. I am not sure about the things which happened inside United Flight 93 were real or just shown for the movie. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MUST WATCH!! This is history and everyone needs to watch it once. 9/10

So I Am Very Interested In His Flicks
And My Favorites Are GODZILLA & INDEPENDENCE DAY
And Lets Wait For Others Review Coz Movie Juz Hit Today Like someone said earlier, don't expect too much from the story, this movie is a visual entertainment. Its the end of the world movie, so what more of a story could have been made, im not complaining for that, but just telling to keep your expectations low from the story. But, hats off to the effort put in to make this movie a treat to watch. Such a nailbiting and edge of the seat kinda movie, it deserves a big round of applause. My advice, watch this movie just only to see the earth being destroyed. And yea, the volcanic explosion was soo awesome!!
Fuckin Awesome....i loved it....Roland Emmerich did it again......as for me , it is an excellent movie......if u want a great nd intellectual flick , i m not sure this movie will do....but if u want entertainment , u it wil definitely worth a watch,.the first half was gud.. but in the next part story was loosing strength.
it was very clear that director had strong desire to mke movie on Doomsday but he didnt actually knew how to give it a Happy Ending.
Superb!a visual treat!...mainly the earthquake sequence!wow!....the oly thing i didn't lyked was d climax......but still brilliant!..
i wud say watch it ..........so that people might become more conscious towards Global Warming.My opinion this movie was awesome....predicted through Mayan calendar, the world's end....!!!
gr88 video effects.... special effects were ausom...i waz in ghoose bumps when i saw the "limozene drive" scene..the ending too waz nice!!..not a bad ending...good job director!!!!
CGI's were fantastic...especially that volcano eruption sequence....brilliantly made...
All in all good entertainment....!!!

Quantum Of Solace 7/10
ok kinda movie. But it differentiates itself from regular Bond flicks
what caught my attention:
1. use of Douglas - antique aircrafts hull
2. a rare use of small car Ford Ka
3. story based on environmental issues
4. Much better -‘hunk’ Bond
5. Two hot heroines
Couldn’t digest:
1.How come a fisherman’s rusty boat have such a powerful engine ?
It ran as if had a Turbo Ferrari jet engine
2. Austin Martin really damaged in a chase- seen in better shape in next scene (Later learned that they scrapped 6 Austin Martins for that scene…!!!)
Based on the memoir of the journalist Toby Young, How to Lose Friends & Alienate People is the hilarious account of the fall and rise of Sidney Young (Simon Pegg), a hapless English hack on the make in New York’s media jungle. Sidney Young is a disillusioned intellectual who both adores and despises the world of celebrity, fame and glamour. His alternative magazine, Post Modern Review, pokes fun at the media obsessed stars and bucks trends, and so when Young is offered a job at the diametrically opposed conservative New York based Sharps magazine all hell breaks loose.
7/10
Max Payne
.
A movie that starts out a little promising soon turns in to an incomprehensible mess that fails to qualify as a movie. A visually appealing flop. A brave move to include supposedly supernatural elements but could have handled better. What could have been a really exciting action movie was totally ruined. Even if it was a mindless shoot-fest, I would have liked it better than what it is now.
Burn After Reading
well the movie has been rated three stars by the critics n with a starcast like george clooney,brad pitt the movie has been able to produce good box office collections in usa.The story is quite predictable n the characters have not been described well.personally for me to watch the whole movie was a headache.George clooney's character was a big disappointment.brad pitt's character was for a short term n not that important one.It was just for commercial purpose.Its not worth a watch so plz dont make plans to go to a theatre to watch this movie instead sit back n relax at home!!!!
2.5/5
REQUIEM FOR A DREAM (2000).
Requiem for a Dream is a masterpiece which depicts different forms of addiction, leading to characters imprisonment in a dream world of delusion n reckless desperation, which is then overtaken n devastated by reality. It is undoubtedly, the most powerful, shocking n xtremely moving film I've ever seen.
Its a story about 4 people. Harry(Leto), his mother Sara(Ellen), his girlfriend Marion(Jennifer) n his friend(Tyrone). The film is presented in 3 phases: Summer, Fall n Winter showing the progression of the addiction.
Summer is the time when everything is going fine. All dreams looked possible. Fall starts n the characters begin to diminish n die a little. By Winter, the characters are destroyed & devastated completely by their addictions.
Director Darren Aronofsky has done a brave job by taking up this subject. This story deserved to be told on big screen. Its not a movie completely about substance abuse but addiction in a wider sense. Cinematography is completely different from other movies, split-screen is used extensively here along with the close-ups.
The score is a masterpiece, easily among the greatest soundtracks ever. The score n tight editing will haunt you for years to come. The last half hour of the film is among the most harrowing of any film ever made. The ending is, sheer power. The film leaves a huge impression, infact a huge scar which you're proud to wear.
This film is a must for all. I can guarantee tht you'll not be disappointed. Yes, it is depressing, not a happy ending fairy tale but thts what the motive was. Its an eye-opener for those who thinks drugs n all is cool, This film has a serious warning for all. A Must Watch.
Strongly Recommended.

THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991).
Runtime - 2 hrs
Starring - Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, Ted Lavine
Written By - Ted Tally
Directed By - Jonathan Demme.
This masterpiece is a bone-chilling experience. Sweeping all 5 major Academy Awards (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor & Best Actress) is no easy task but thts what this classic did. Acting, direction, editing, music, screenplay, cinematography... its all class.
This is director Jonathan Demme's smart, taut thriller teeters on the edge between psychological study & all-out horror & benefits greatly from stellar performances by Anthony Hopkins & Jodie Foster.
Silence of the Lambs is the story of a young FBI trainee Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) who seeks the advice of the imprisoned Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) on catching a serial killer known as 'Buffalo Bill' (Ted Lavine). A major part of the film is psychological more than violent. Still not a film for all ages, coz of the many disturbing scenes.
Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling holds the movie together. Anthony Hopkins made the cannibalistic Dr. Hannibal Lecter, the most feared villain of all time. Lecter is so odd a mixture of intelligence, cruelty, insanity, grace & charisma, n its all coz of Hopkins smart performance. Just 16 min of screen presence n an Oscar for Best Actor in his bag. The game between Lecter n Starling is an art in itself.
The Silence of the Lambs goes down as the greatest suspense film ever. Its dark, gory, creepy, suspenseful, confusing yet breathtaking, exciting n bone chilling. This, one of the most mentally frightening film of all time, is A Must Watch for nyone who wanna see some intelligent film-making. If you want to see a thriller tht will have you on the egde of your seat, then this film is Strongly Recommended. Watch out for the world's most famous cannibal in cinema history. The thriller to thrill all thrillers... thts The Silence of the Lambs.
Rating - 9.5/10
