Udaan 9/10

I'm speechless. A very touchy movie on relations. Do watch it to understand it.

The leads of this movie have done an awesome job; Rajat Barmecha as "Rohan" and Ronit Roy as his father are marvelous. I was shocked to see the little kid providing such an amazing performance. He's great.

Only one complain is with the pace. Though I agree the script demands a slow treatment but few scenes are stretched. Either beginning or ending of scenes were lengthy.

I can take guarantee for Shindler's List
But if you are into crying while watching Jack (Leonardo Di Caprio) sinking deep into the freezing ocean, then its different matter.

Watched 'New Police Story' yesterday, starring Jackie Chan. It's an average action movie with a simple plot.

How's 'The Thaw'? Anyone seen it?

Watched some horror movies recently in the last couple of months, liked some of them, other's I did not like.

-The Exorcist (liked)
-Exorcist II (The Heretic) (liked)
-Alien (liked)
-Aliens (liked)
-Children of the Corn (bad movie, did not like)
-The Shining (average, okay)
-Hostel (disgusting)
-Orphan (liked)
-Shutter (the original Thai movie with English subtitles) (liked)
-Shutter Island (average, okay)
-Paranormal Activity (disgustingly bad movie, did not like at all)
-The Blair Witch Project (disgustingly bad movie, did not like at all)
-What Lies Beneath (liked)
-The Happenning (average, okay)
-Ju-on The Grudge (both the Japanese and American versions) (excellent horror movie, liked)
-The Ring (liked)

I dont remember more.

After many years, I saw 'Father of the Bride' and 'Father of the Bride: Part II'. Both are excellent comedy movies, but the first one is more funnier and a better movie. The way the director portrayed the relationship between a father and a daughter is excellent.

Also seen 'The Nutty Professor', after many years. It's an exceedingly hilarious movie but an average one overall.

I have heard a little less exciting review of Afterlife in the same thread earlier!
This weekend I am planning to go to watch it based on your reviews. Nowadays I do not find it worthy to spend so much in watching movies in multiplexes. So do not wanna spend money on some average movie.

BTW I would like to take this opportunity to share a nice experience with you movie buffs. The lesson learnt was never go with review of a single person (or better never go with review altogether...watch each movie and give your reviews to others )
Anyways, here it goes. This was during the time when I was in college and "Everybody Says I'm Fine" was released as Rahul Bose's directorial debut. Those days Rahul Bose was not known that much, although I had become his fan after watching him in Takshak (prior to that he had acted in Bomgays and Bombay Boys and couple of other lesser known movies which I haven't watched). I was with one of my very close friend who had seen the movie (he purchased the CD of movie just like that). I asked him about the movie and he said that "kkacchu nai, ghatiya film hai. Nau ki dukaan se shuru hui, nau ki dukaan par khatm ho gayi" (=Nothing much, it started in a barber shop and ended there as well). Trusting him I left his place without the CD. But later when I watched the movie I was deeply touched and moved. I liked everyone's acting starting from Rehaan, Koel Purie, Pooja Bhatt and Boman Irani.

I remember this incident whenever I read any review even now.

getting mixed reviews for afterlife...was planning to see this movie in 3d...How is it overall??Better than extinction???

 

[gagan007]

If it had not been for the reviews, you would probably spend huge amount and time watching every crap out there thrown at us ............... Just a thought

Nowadays, what drives me most to a movie is the plot outline. I do not read the whole story on internet but just a synopsis or summary (sans spoilers offcourse)...

I just mentioned this as my personal experience. It is true that we get to know about a lot of interesting/unheard movies from like minded people as in this thread. There is no doubt about that

Its like american pie but a bit better. Hero is a loser and some scenes are extremely hilarious. I can watch it again anyday. At the end the movie gets serious, and you do get a message. A good one. Beware, there are some obscenity too.

There is a part two too. Same central plot, ending gets serious. But funny as hell at times.

 

[gagan007]

thanks ichi...I thought that they were el cheapo copy of American Pie...but if you are saying that it is better than American Pie...I will surely watch that...

 

[ajai5777]

I have seen all resident evil movies and afterlife in 3D.As a sequel it sucked because nothing interesting left in the story to tell.You can watch it as a 3D film.Thats all.
