Win a date with Tad Hamilton 6/10
I wonder why this movie is in english language!!!
It has every single potential to be remade in Hindi...even this can't be a hollywood movie...its a typical bollywood script...every dialog shouts it.
I've even thought about the Bollywood starcast for the movie...
Tad Hamilton: Hrithik Roshan
Pete: Shahid Kapoor (as Shahrukh is old)
Rosalie: Soha ali khan
Rosalie's father: Anupam Kher

^^ this movie could have been a 9/10 .... atleast for me ... i mean who hasn't gone on the stage for a girl and who hasn't started to stutter on a debate ..... still the acting and the high school crushes part was gr8 ......
The U.S. vs John Lenon-- 10/10 ..... a must watch for all anti war fans ..... sort of a documentary ...... with all of lenon's music ....

Just saw Johnny Got His Gun (1971) 9/10 , IMDB(7.5/10) Genre Drama/War.
I accidently bumped into this movie when I was reading the IMDB page of "The Man From Earth". It was in the recomended list. After I read the plot summary I was thrilled
And that was enough for me to go ahead and acquire the movie
. I will recommend this movie to all. One warning though.. if you want to enjoy the movie then do not read wikipedia page or any other review about the movie .

I think The ROCK deserves more point...
Yes...if u compare it with today's movies and storyline it would get 6, but if u compare with the then movies, it would easily get 8 to 8.5... (IMO)

Love Aaj Kal 7.5/10 (+ another .5 which will depend on mood, right at this moment I feel like giving it that grace, then sometimes I feel it doesn't deserve it)
What if Anurag Kashyap makes a love story (not Dev.D type, but a LOVE STORY)?
Well to me it like the same, abstract. Its not Imtiaz Alis genre, he tells stories very nicely and with patience, gives audience time to mix with environment and obviously don't rush things.
So, what was wrong with this film? IMO scene-to-scene transition was not so swift. Sometimes scenes were not conclusive. Ya, in one word EDITING was downside... rest good.
This is Saif's movie, I want to rate him 10/10; just watch his transition from cool-n-caz to serious mood in seconds, spl. in a few initial scenes and last half hour. He's everywhere in this movie.
And, this movie is not for Deepika, she just doesn't suit the character moreover I found her under-acting. Leaving last 50 mins she just can be compared with any noob actress who must attend an acting school. No transition of emotion with changing context of dialog. She just spoiled the character. I can only imagine Preitty Zinta being the perfect choice for this role. Cute to gorgeous, crazy to serious, happy to confused transitions with demanding not-so-glam role is just perfect for her.
And, I went to see Deepika once again in big screen, but I guess what Farah did none can do that. Farah just made her 1000 times more BEAUTIFUL...
Two things I noticed,
1> If you can survive (tolerate, pass, bear etc) first 15 minutes of Imtiaz Ali's movies you may like them later.
2> Trains are becoming a key point for his movies, is he starting to believe trains are his lucky charm. Well this movie is going to be hit, and it would just boost his perception.
All in all a nice abstract love story.
Recommended to all who are in a RELATIONSHIP at this moment.
Macho boys, those who makes fun of love. (this movie may not teach u something, but would give u some idea)
Strugglers, watch but I'm expecting a 5-6 rating from you.
@confused, go watch it.

watched couple of movies recently,
Pursuit of happiness - 9/10. Shows how our daily life problems are very small and we are not the only one with problems.
The illusionist: 8/10. Not as good as 'The Prestige'. But decent enough.
The GhostTown: 6.5/10. A medicore movie. Not much to talk about it.
Dead silence: 7/10. Not much to talk about this too...
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - 9.5/10. I have no words to explain about the greatness of the movie..
Lock,stock and two smoking barrels - 9/10. Amazing movie about the four guys who are in debt to a porn king.
