Movies Discussion Thread V1: Ratings and Opinions

Queen : 7.5/10.. Strong Performance by Kangna Ranaut.. Cinematography was also good.. One of the better Bollywood movies i've seen in the recent times..

J.Edgar : 6/10 . Story-wise, it was good in the first half, but started dragging in the 2nd half..DiCaprio once again delivers a Excellent Performance.

Queen is a sure shot 8.5/10

A must watch for all movie viewers. The kind of detailing this movie has and the marvelous performance of Kangna are not to be missed.

Not gonna write full review though.

I thought things happened too fast in Queen. And there was no awesome feeling about the turning point as was the last race in Udaan.

Hitch 8.5/10

Bollywood ripped this movie off and made Partner

World War 2 - Saving Private Ryan , Schindler's List (It is a drama though not action)

Stalingrad (2013) is a very good vfx movie based on the ww2 battle of stalingrad , it is not a very good movie but a good vfx action movie , the amount of set-extension done was just superb . It is not in English though .

 

[Inceptionist]

Add following movies to the list.
The Great Escape
Guns of Navarone
Where Eagles Dare

Don't know about WW1, but Apocalypse of Hitler was one of the thrilling documentary I have ever seen about WW2. It's not a movie anyway

*www.imdb.com/title/tt2094220/ Highly underrated imho

Depends on you which type you prefer.(There are many you can search and take your pick.)
For example
for thrill,suspense & action "enemy at the gates". Some awesome sniping action in this movie.
from IMDB

A Russian sniper and a German sniper play a game of cat-and-mouse during the Battle of Stalingrad.

& all the movies mentioned by others.

 

[icebags]

that cat n mouse game was amazing, forgot when i saw it, but still remember the scenes.

anyways, can suggest some older war movies like "all quiet in western front" ?

also, there was a translated novel i read when was in school, it was about some soldier who got wounded in battle, then was returned to his home to be with family for last of his days, and in the train he met a lady who took him as her husband and cared for him for the rest of his life. after his death when she was asked what she will be doing now, her answer was shes gonna find some other solder who is counting his last days......
i dont remember the exact details, neither the name of the novel, but can anyone help me remember the name of the novel ?

It is not that difficult to understand.

Patrick Bateman was mentally unstable and had trouble separating reality from his fantasies.

Thanks for the links bro.

Spoiler

so, i was somewhat correct in my interpretation..I had these 2 theories that either :
1. The murders were real & when he confessed, the society ignores him
OR
2. Bateman imagines everything.

After reading some of the links & FAQs in the imdb site, apparently, the director wanted to keep the ending ambiguous.( which they partially managed to do ).
But, after seeing the last part again, i am more inclined towards the 2nd Conclusion.

Did i get it or am i still missing something ??

No. It is correct.

Snowpiercer. Wow! . The best english movie i have watched this year . 9/10

Its a movie which deserves to be watched in High Def only. Dont settle for the low file size. Tilda Swinton is hilarious in this . She plays the eccentric characters to perfection. Chris Evans and the Korean gal also are very good.

Snowpiercer (2013) - IMDb

 

[Inceptionist]

Even though it has actors from hollywood, it is not English movie.

From Wikipedia

Snowpiercer (Korean: 설국열차; hanja: 雪國列車; RR: Seolgugyeolcha) is a South Korean science fiction action film based on the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige by Jacques Lob & Benjamin Legrand and Jean-Marc Rochette
