Oldboy
..Oh Boy! This movie is fantastic..In all ways.. Story, Performances, Direction, Cinematography, Score.. everything is enough to make you Wowed!
..well I had seen iTs bolly version 'Zinda' first.. I thought may be I won't enjoy the movie as much as others because I was aware of the plot. But it was just out of d world!
..It's poetic! Every scene is decorated with gripping storyline, visually stunning cinematography and brilliant background score! It's thrilling, smart and engaging! If you want to see something extra - ordinary, something different.. watch this!
9.0/10
Alien
The exceptional points about the movie is- firstly the character buildup of each character on the spacecraft with clear definition of all the characters, secondly the special effects used are quite brilliant keeping in mind that its a very old movie, and the little details that are kept in mind in each scene.
A very fascinating first half after which it becomes sort of predictable, that too because many later movies have buildup on this same plot.
Overall 8/10
Defiance
Defiance succeeds on every level of one's expectation, it is everything it promises to be- emotional drama, good fight scenes, and above all great performances. Performance from Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber are high points of the movie, which transform the good scenes to fascinating ones.
My rating-> 8.5/10
Fargo (1996)
A movie by Coen Bros. This is 4th movie I have watched dir. by coen bros. or either one of 'em. One thing I have noticed that their movies makes philosophical or sarcastic comments on humans' greed for money!! I haven’t liked their movies much but this movie is classic in actual sense!
Acting is excellent especially by William H. Macy, Frances McDormand was also impressive and she also won oscar for Best Actress as leading role! But more impressive thing about the movie is its storyline which is gripping and Coen Bros treatment of Dark Humour which is really perfect! This movie gives you humour with some violent scene.. This type of treatment reminds you of Tarantino or Guy Ritchie movies' Dark Humour and Of course 'Ladykillers' and 'Burn After Reading' by Coen Bros. But this coen movie is best in Dark Comedy!!
Viewers who doesn’t enjoy Dark Humour shoul avoid it, and who do they have themselves a must watch here!!
8.0/10

Unknown
In an abandoned warehouse, a handful of men slowly regain consciousness, but they’ve been stricken with amnesia and have no idea who they are, where they are, or what has happened to them. All five seem to have been in some sort of serious scuffle; one is tied up, another has been handcuffed, a third has a broken nose, and the other two have their share of scrapes and bruises. As the men compare the tiny shards of memory they can pull from their minds, one finds a newspaper from two days before which features a front-page story about the kidnapping of a wealthy and well-known businessman. The men begin to suspect that they were involved with the kidnapping, but no one is sure if they’re on the right or wrong side of the law – or if one of them might happen to be the victim.
Just an one n half hour movie.. good story line... I rate 8 on 10
CHE part-1
Biography,drama n war all are shown in a quite intense movie very aptly.
Benicio del toro who plays the main protagonist has performed to his excellence.
Though the movie has it's ups n downs , few moments are just too simple n few are just mastered by director steven soderberg.
I think the film just misses few tricks in connecting to the audience who are unaware of Che n the Cuban revolution.
But still worth a watch only for the charismatic character of Ernesto Che guevera.
7/10
HOME
It's a documentary made on earth n the pollution n it's solution. One of the most extravagant visual delight i have ever seen. The message of the movie is very clear n optimistic , the narration n the background score makes the film more touching. One can get easily bored watching this movie but this is supposed to be just that. This is not everybody's cup of tea but still i suggest to watch it to know this planet n to be ready for the future.
8/10
"Time Travelers’ Wife" it's a nice romantic love story but totally fails in the sci-fi part
too much of romantic moments , but worth a watch for loving this kind of film
8/10
''Apocalypse Now(Redux)" brilliantly made war movie , the theme revolves around a captain who is sent on secret mission to kill a colonel(Marlon Brando) who goes insane and is acquitted of murdering 4 secret agents of the south Vietnamese army who were supposedly double agents working for N.V.A
NICE & BRILLIANTLY MADE MOVIE

RESCUE DAWN
CHRISTIAN BALE is truly the most passionate actor.
This movie is totally carried by the man's performance which is stunning.
The plot or storyline is not very new but this time the locations n the emotions are very realistic.
Very inspiring n engaging rescue drama which has it's soul at the right place.
8/10
THE TERMINAL
A simple yet brilliant story told with perfection.
TOM HANKS is just awesome in this movie.
This is easily one of the most touching and sweet movie made by Steven Spielberg.
Watch it if u want to see something different n interesting.
Some of the moments in the movie are very moving n some are truly funny.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
9/10
