Same here. Could you please recommend Hindi films similar to the ones I mentioned in my previous post?
I'd like to see the Hollywood movie too. Thanks for the warm welcome.I loved the film. I thought its an original idea but I read somewhere thats it was an 'inspiration' from some hollywood movie. Hilarious movie nonetheless.
Welcome back to the thread
You may want to check out Dreaming Lhasa by the same fimmakers too. Its already available where we usually look for movies.

Krow, as in same line as Bheja Fry u can try "Home Delivery" starring Vivek Oberoy, Boman Irani. Starts very intelligent, Bheja Fry has shadows of this movie if u compare these two.
Conclusion or finishing is bogus. Watch it for the satire and some intelligent comic scenes.
Oye Lucky and Khosla come under CON cinema category (well I put 'em), so u can sure find more.
Planet 51 6.5/10
A toned down version of "District 9" in animation, would be suitable for kids to get the same message.
Not so good storyline but a good concept. Nothing exceptional, but u can try once.

I'd love to but no pc at current loc.
I visited that site abt frens if tibet. Gruesome pics of blatant savagery.
Btw can someone watch and give a short review of japanese movie "Air Doll". Its one of those weird subject movie one can only trace back to Japan.

Straw Dogs 8.5/10
Its like one of those dark movies. Eg. The Wicker Man, Funny Games etc.
(I think a few of here got what I mean)
Now, if u got it, its a gem in its kind. Builds the tension very well, shows a few complex sides of human character.
Climax drags a tiny bit, and could have been more violent. At climax, its kinda one sided game. Everyone should be given same chance.
Warning: It has a rape scene; if u r not mature enough to endure the shock element in that scene, don't try this. No its not violent, its kinds eerie and umm,.......different...

No, not only Japan. If not exact but a bit on same league, we have a few movies. Mannequin can be mentioned in the category. Even in India there is a movie starring Govinda and Karishma.
I don't know about the Jap one u mentioned, but from IMDB it seems those I mentioned can be of same type.

@rhitwick : have already watched the 1st two installments of "Universal Soldier"... kinda loved those... So is it worth 2 watch the 3rd one????...

Democracy is a myth
Well, if u were new to this series, I would have recommended to start from start, so that u don't have a feeling how sh1t this 3rd pard is.
Below r my thoughts on the movie. As u've already watched previous two parts, do watch this one too...don't expect too much...
Harry Brown 7/10
Similar concept as in "Death Sentence", "Law Abiding Citizen" and others...
Better than both of those mentioned here.
On second thought hollywood suddenly producing more movies on this theme, what we (Indian cinema) already made in 80's and 90's.......

Sherlock Holmes - Haven't read the books but loved every bit of the movie. Robert Downey Jr is hell of an actor. How come they forget to mention Kelly Reilly in the main star cast along with Rachel McAdams? Eagerly waiting for the next installment. Hope Kelly Reilly has a bigger role in it!
Next on my list -
The Class
An Education
Had watched a movie on a similar theme in 2007. *www.imdb.com/images/b.gif
Lars and the Real Girl
Didn't quite enjoy it as it was way too slow. But interesting concept.

One sided means, the protagonist here continues to win suddenly. Could have been much violent, like he got a arm shot, or broken legs. But he was left unharmed or only one glass of his spectacle was mildly broken.
This is no a torture movie so that every time it has to be violent but climax is kinda not u to the mark for the environment the movie creates from beginning.
It has those un-easy feelings, something is not right since the word go. Very engrossing screenplay and sometimes thoughtful, specially the rape scene and how the girl re-acted to those who did it and her husband. A totally un-explored area (or un-touched as a rape victim is always sympathized even in the goriest revenge movies) human psychology.
Hats of for the kind of grey characters it shows.
From all those mind-blowing scenes one example would be when at the end the girl gets attacked and screams, both her husband and the guy who raped her rush to rescue. Its striking, its wtf! and its a totally diff. treatment to a subject.

Yeah and our newspapers are busy with Chinese currency values being kept artificially low. Shame.
Even I liked it a lot, although rhitwick did not.

Ufff, no I did not like it that much. It has nothing new to offer for me. The concept is not new. The illusion or delusion is handled in many movies. Some call it split personality, well here they have given a totally new explanation for it but the execution is same.
Then the tense moments, unknown creatures (or evolved creatures), already handled in many movies, again new explanation but same execution.
I'm not thrilled by an explanation but it should have a matching execution. Pandorum did not satisfy me. I found it predictable.
And, SAM, I love SAW series. But after part 3 its kind of forced. Events seems stretched twists seems to be introduced for the sake of making another sequel. IMO, SAW sequels are now just trying to en-cash its popularity. (Best example: Final Destination series, Uni Sol series even MI series.)
