Letters from Iwo Jima : Another gem from Clint Eastwood's stable, about a particular battle between Japanese Imperial Army and US soldiers on an island. The only difference is that the story has been told from a Japanese point of view and higlighted that courage, nonour and will are not the monopoly of US forces. The whole narrative is how despite knowing very weel their fate, the small number of soldiers fight and meet their fate.

Honestly, movies dubbed in English ruins the experience, better to watch with subtitles.

Sin City : Quite stylised coimic book story; fun to watch. Not for kids as it has quite a few nodity scenes.

Democracy is a myth
Rosemary's Baby 8.5/10

A great psychological drama.

Its counted in horror genre everywhere but it rarely gives you any shocks or has any chilling moments.
What it has is something else. Its USP is its a slow movie. Yes first time a horror movie which is slow actually uses the pace as its USP.

The moment the movie starts you meet a happy couple moving to a new house. Some unusual events at their house but that seems so petty u tend to ignore.
Slowly they make neighbors. And you seem to get involved with Rosemary's character. The movie starts growing onto you. Very slowly the situations change, no out of proportion incidents are shown.
A suicide, a man gets serious ill, a man goes to coma etc. all things are such nicely blend into the story that you along with Rosemary don't bother to notice.
Then again slowly paranoia gets introduced to story and movie ends with something more amusing.

~~~~~ Heavy Spoilers (highlight to read) ~~~~~~
I thought like all other movies Rosemary would sacrifice the baby to save mankind. Imagined a scene like she would jump out of the window holding her baby as it was the climax and all needs to be end in a good note.
But, the director had something else in his mind; he actually let motherhood, which is ignored in so many such films, take over the scenario.
Rosemary actually accepted the baby. I think this is how it works, however bad a kid is, a mother can never discard it.

Really appreciate the screenpaly and kudos to Mia Farrow as Rosemarry. She actually made the character alive. Its a pity that she did not win an Oscar for it.

--------and the audience is in a sweet-sour dilemma of what to make out (good/evil) of the pesky, overly freindly and caring shown by the old couple. The horror is on a grand scale and the story has plenty of "alternatives", which we all like here.....................

After watching The Shining, 2001 and Rosemary's Baby, i just can't stand the slash and blood of other typical horror movies which has nudity and tomato ketchup all over.

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.

Pace was fine for me. But then maybe I have seen movies much slower that this.

We need more movies like this. Everything was well executed. Particulary the wavering of minds and the unpredictablity. Its like you will be waiting for the final straw but the guy's restraint barrage is still not broken and then all of a sudden you feel the sudden rush of the prptagonist outrunning everything. The best scene.

M 8/10

Its a thriller with a moral which is very rare now-a-days.

A gr8 script with laudable performance from "Peter Lorre" make this a noir.

How many of you here are actually watching these movies by buying the CDs or DVDs or going to theatres to watch them? I know most of you download them via bit torrent.

I need suggestions for some good Mind-f++k movies please.

When Harry Met Sally 8/10

Before you all jump out on me saying I'm seeing it now........yes I've seen it now and found my another fav. movie Hum Tum is heavily inspired by it.

Nothing new to talk on it. First time I actually liked Meg Ryan, she seemed beautiful to me.

Both the leads are marvelous in their part.......

I think this is a perfect movie to be watched with parents. it does have some conversation regarding sex but that is acceptable. nothing vulgar is shown here. much more filthy language and skin show are present in "Dabangg"
