Uhu, Not Gonna Happen!
Some people think that english movies r close to life...where 99% of english movies r just impossible

I do not know where does the figure of 99 came from, but most of those movies which you are pointing to also give reasons to connect themselves to reality. Thats what I think. In hindi movies the director/actor think that the audience are imbeciles or they will believe whatever they do. That is the reason I hate most of the bollywood movies (with exception of Hritik, Abhay and Aamir who are delight to watch and SRK is my personal fav because of his acting skills though I hate the kind of movie he usually does)


Talking about Inception...I believe that the "totem" stops spinning and falls eventually. Sorry I missed the discussion back there guys as watched it yesterday only.

9.5/10 for brilliant idea behind the story/movie :)

Democracy is a myth
IMO, both bollywood and Hollywood has its share in impossible scripts.

We may produce majorly same old love stories but then again they have a tendency of making majorly sci-fi movies.

In both the genres, it requires writer's imagination how and what will happen...hence u end up watching something that is impossible in real world and real-life scenario.

But, again, both bollywood and hollywood produces its share of movies on serious subjects with a serious tone.

So, declaring all bollywood content as bullsh1t and all hollywood content as realistic is insane.
Both the industries have quality content to offer.

Need to review few movies that I've watched in past few days.

Du rififi chez les hommes 7.5/10

Now I know what has inspired the lot of bank robbery movies. This movie has more realistic approach to a robbery without tech help. Has a good drama and commendable acting by all members.

Laboratory 8/10

Bengali movie by Raja Sen
Raveena Tandon, Sabyasachi, Ranjit Mallik, Arpita

When a movie says story by Rabindranath Tagore, you should know it won't be easy to digest. A complex story with very bold dialogs. A story written centuries ago still holds true for certain types of character in daily life. Got a copy with hardcoded english subs. Those who love good story with good acting can go for this.

Another two movies that I've watched while on holiday,
Byomkesh Bokshi 8.5/10 [Bengali movie]
[this is a biased review, I'm a die hard Byomkesh fan....sooooo]

Based on original story "Adim ripu" by Saradindu Bandopadhyay.
The detective element in this story is not much but I think I know why this story was made into a movie. It has such colourful bunch of characters that would attract any director. A complex relation mixed with lust, greed, blackmail and murder.
Nicely acted by Abir as Byomkesh and Saswata as Ajit.
Good try. At least someone is caring to bring Byomkesh to screen after so long.

Dui Prithibi 5/10 [bengali movie]
Jit, Dev, Koel and Barkha

Went for Koel Mallik purely and she has such less screen time. Good concept but very long and boring.
Oh has a good try for item no. too ;-)
Song is already famous in bengal :-D

Inception - 9/10

Finally I watched it.I expected a lot and it offered me much more.One of the best movies I have ever seen.I wasnt impressed by the opening (as I didnt get the concept).But after the scene in which ariadne entered cobb's dream, I started to get it and I was immersed in it.The last scene may lead to some theories and debates like matrix movies did but I like to see that as his original life.

Actually its my 3rd nolan movie after those batman movies.Now I think I should watch memento and the prestige.

I'm in 3D Grafix world!!!
Scott Pilgrim vs The World - 8.5/10
Woww... this one is really great movie, nice humour and really nice visual & special effects.

Big Stan 5.5/10

Another movie on looser to hero. But Rob Schneider doing martial arts is not acceptable. HIs action scenes are so dumb and so slow that it seems he waiting to be prompted for the next move to make.

So Rob Schneider is convicted for a land fraud. He is sentenced for 3yrs in jail. Now he fears he might get raped in jail. Somehow he manages to buy 6 months before his term starts. During this he learns martial arts. Goes to jail and becomes a hero beating everyone.
Acting is good, but directing is bad. Has occasional laugh and the ending is just hurried.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World ?/10

I'm yet to make any opinion about. Was it good? Don't know. Was it bad? Don't know? Did I get this movie? Not sure. Why was it made? Not sure. Did I enjoy this movie? Somewhat.

Well most of the movie I did not get. If you call it a movie just because it claims to have a plot and people acting in it, then it is. Even mickey mouse, tom and jerry cartoons has more sane plots.

I found it inspired by Chasing Amy (Ramon flowers). And the fight scene with the twins is a copy of Kung-fu Hustle only Kung-fy hustle was better in that scene.

Those who liked it, please let me know what I'm supposed to like in it. Yes there are witty dialogs, funny situations but felt more like a series of sitcoms are stitched together.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer 6/10

Henry is a serial killer and he kills and kills and kills.
And he goes away and the movie is finished.

Has a few disturbing scenes (not that violent but can be shocking to newcomers) and nothing else.

Semi-pro 5/10

Just a few decimals better than to be listed in must not watch thread.
