Quantum of Solace-Fantastic non-stop action,fast paced story though the hotel blowing part was ridiculous(I know, I know this is supposed to be a flick and a Bond flick at that) and BTW this was the first bond movie I remember where the girl Bond beds hasn't actively tried to kill him or have him killed which I found quite hilarious .

What non-stop action ???? Seems more like a non-stop joining of nanosecond long frames........What a poor piece of editing!!!!

If anyone is into bikes and chicks then watch "Hellride". I found it to be decent kinda movie.

7/10.

Pather Panchali.......no words would do justice to this masterpeice by Satyajit Ray.....its in Bengali, watch it with English subs and rediscover what cinema is.

This is a beautiful movie indeed. Pather Panchali brought Neo realism
to Indian cinema and is Ray's 1st film. The movie was followed by
Aparajito and Apursansar and together they are known as Apu Trilogy.
The 3 movies are brilliant but the pick of them would be PatherPanchali.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre --> 6/10 ...

Away from Her 9/10

Its not a cinema, its an experience.
Every sentence, every gesture-posture means something. Not single scene I found has out-of-focus or casual intention.
Every single character contributes to the main story. No small talk, no filling gaps with sound-track. Just to the point, has its heart at the right place.

The main male-female protagonists are superb. Just watch the expression when grant asks her wife for a talk in private or when he tries to make her realize truth about Aubrey. I guess I'm too much overwhelmed by this movie.

Only a meaningful conclusion would earn 10 on 10 from me.

Slumdog Millionaire- Quite a fun. Enjoyable. Great score by AR Rahman. And the kids are awesome. Kids playing cricket on airway and policeman chasing them was a hilarious scene. Other actors are just ok(I am aware that Dev Patel could be a contender for best supporting actor along with batman's Joker, Heath Ledger!).

Oscar's hype! Could have been considered just another good bollywood movie had it not been directed by Danny Boyle. Nothing more. So at the end it all comes down to marketing and promoting.

I am not trying to criticize a good movie. Just keep aside the oscar hype during watching and you will enjoy it even more.

Ghajini - First Day First Show 8/10 - story is better scripted than the tamil version. acting is good, the only letdown was the songs.. except Guzarish , I didnt like any other, Tamil version had better songs and a superb intro song for Kalpana. Except songs not other complaints from me .

Ghajini is a rip-off of a great movie called Momento. To hell with this Bolly movies. The good ones are rip-offs and the ones who arent suck! (Except some).

Slumdog Millionaire - 9/10

Ghajini-- 7.5/10

Gud to watch, direction n acting was gud...
not so impressed by the songs....action was also quite watchable except the last fight sequence of the movie, which looks like similar to of a tamil/telugu, rajnikant type ......
the shifting of tym, past and present in the movie was the best part, making a suspense till the almost end.....u cant go out of theatre by watching the part before interval.....
U can watch it once, but nothing so xtarordinary that u want to watch it again as was RDB.......
and one more thing, half hour lengthy............

I'm kinda bored of listening to this bull sh!t of abusing Bollywood. Even Hollywood is full of remakes, remakes of some great European & Japanese & Asian movies. Bollywood copies big deal! They make movies in an Indian manner, so stop cursing under the pretext that Hollywood is god.

Read my post again... did I mention that Hollywood is the best ? NO. I know Hollywood also copies some movies but they less in number whereas 70% of Bollywood nowadays are rip-offs. I never said Hollywood is god... I just said that Bolly movies are mostly rip-offs.
