Movies Discussion Thread V1: Ratings and Opinions

^^ You watched it now !! Damm....... IP Man is my one of THE best martial arts movies I have seen ...... IP Man 2 not falling far behind .... although the finalay of the first one was more satisfying that the second one . but still fights in the second one are classic as well.... go for IP Man 2 ASAP ....

I had it lying around for almost a year now and thought of watching it yesterday. I'll be watching sequel today or tomorrow. My addiction to TV series has sidelined movies for quite a long time now. My frequency of watching movies has gone down drastically.

Ek Ruka Hua Faisla directed by Basu Chatterjee.

Its a hindi version of another good movie 12 Angry Men.
I had no expectation from this hindi remake because most often hindi adaptations are pathetic. But this movie is so good and all the actors are convincing and not a single one was a passenger or filling up the numbers.
Both movies are equally good.

Last week I watched Memento...it was in my pending list bcuz I knew it was the inspiration behind Ghajini. What can I say...though the concept was same but the story is way different, plus you know Aamir Khan...he can never do injustice to any role.

Yesterday I watched "City of Gold", based on Mumbai life style..actually it portrayed life of cotton mill workers in Mumbai during 1970-1980s. During some scenes you will say that they were copied from Vaastav (which was yet another incredible movie). All in all very sad movie...but worth watching...

I really liked acting of Annu Kapur. At that time he was might be the youngest actor among them but the way he portrayed the character of the old man was awesome!!!

Really good remake as the director and scriptwriter stayed close to the original subject...

b/w did u know there was remake of 12 angry Men in english last year or the previous year.
12 (2007/I)

I did not watch it but from the promo it seemed they had added a lot of back story to the boy's character.
(IMDB says its loosely based on the previous movie but the promo clearly mentioned 12 angry men)

ghajini is nowhere near memento , *no offence* but the reverse chronological order of the movie makes us feel as the protagonist of the movie.

yesterday i watched aisha i was thinking its another stupid movie but it turned out to be better than what i thought .. based on book "Emma" its really well adaptation for indian screens.

 

[Xmen360]

@esumitkumar ..have seen them both.I am looking for movies which have a comedy factor in it with an end of the world or apocalyptic twist to it.

[red dragon]

@ichi, u r always with such WTF movies........

I just read the wiki details (and storyline) of the movie and I was like WTF and WTH!!!!

Its sure weirdest movie (not over Human Centipede though )

Human Centipede is downright disgusting,though I have seen worse

 

[Xmen360]

esumitkumar ... I have seen 2001 space .. but I dont know its sequel.

check out these movies ..The 10 Greatest Science Fiction Comedies

I am looking for such movies.Too bad most of the movies on that list I have already seen. Are there more please do tell ...

 

[esumitkumar]

@xmen

2010 (1984)

 

[gagan007]

I'd watch it for Abhay's acting

So will I...never missed any of his movies since "Socha Na Tha" another fundu movie...


About reverse chronological order movies...they don't suit my taste...I disliked Vantage Point mainly because of that reason...Its like I watched movie to get some relaxation but ended up processing more than normal...

 

[Faun]

^^Irreversible (reverse chrono and depressing stuff)

I m all for movies beyond Human Centipede, suggest some.
