A Beautiful Mind - 9/10

This is one great movie for all those who have stuffed their mind with studies. Won't go into much detail otherwise I could give away the plot. Great performance by Russel Crowe.
Must for lovers of Mathematics.

Aashayein - What a beautiful little gem. When will we learn to appreciate such movies? It's sad to see movies such as these get completely ignored, when movies like Dabang take sway all the credits. Another beauty from Nagesh Kukunoor.

whats it abt

 

[Faun]

Taxi Driver - Really liked this movie.

What do I think about it ?

Spoiler

I can definitely relate to the protagonist. In life, we always want to be appreciated by that one person whom we consider as the most important. It's the innate feeling of helping that person which drives the life of that person, gives a reason. Any kind of appreciation in any magnitude by any other person means nothing, absolutely nothing. And the protagonist has a distinct taste and thinking than the rest of the herd. His ways of enjoyment are quire different. Not many will like that. He is like an oddball in this world. In the end, Iris gave him a new life. The longing for the acknowledgement and appreciation ended.

Btw, I watched this movie without any sound. Read subtitles only.

OMG and Iris is Jodie Foster

whats it abt

Dont want to ruin the fun. Its a love story in the background of hospice. Also nice and different soundtrack.

Interesting to note John Abraham is part of quite a few offbeat movies like Aashayein, No smoking, Jhoota hi sahi, Little Zozou, New York, Kabul Express, Shikhar, Water, Virrudh, apart from the mainstream movies.

 

[Faun]

^^New York...lol no.

^^ Without Sound ...????? what r u talking, you witnessed the amazing shootout, the crux of the movie at the end, WITHOUT the audio ..... ?????

Yeah, you read it right. Btw Death Sentence have similar climax. Another good movie about a family and revenge.

eeep plz somebody explain, how can one watch a movie (that to a classic like Taxi Driver) without the audio, still ... I am sure you mean something else here ....

I don't fit in a general bracket. Guess...a bit weird sometime.

And you couldn't recognize Josi foster .... again still

She is so young and I haven't seen a number of her movies. I recall The Silence of The Lamb and another one where she played the role of a rape victim.

Then try this movie

The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976) - IMDb

Jodie Foster was thirteen at the time of filming and refused to appear nude. Thus, her older sister, Connie Foster, was used as her double in the film's brief nude sequence.

 

[a_medico]

Never let me go - A touching hypothetical British movie. Brilliant story telling without a single CGI. Hollywood would have royally screwed this one with CGIs. The movie is very slow and will appeal to only selected few of you and not all

This one and Aashayein goes to my top movies of 2010 list.

Bad boy 2

Yamla Pagla Deewana 5.5/10

I don't know why I went to see this movie...may be it was a month I've seen a movie in theater which made me desperate.

First half was boring, dumb and nonsense. But, if u dare to re-enter the theater for the second half, u r sure to have some laugh. The whole rating is totally on second half.

Bobby Deol still can't act, Dharmendra IS NOT Amitabh and looks tired and fragile. Everytime he came onscreen I was asking myself "Why"? Sunny was balanced or I should say only person who acted good in the movie.

A DVD watch movie. Not for big screen.

 

[Zangetsu]

mmmm that might explain ...... Try ACCUSED one of the top performances of Jodie. She is a rape victim here, and the entire episode is so shockingly filmed that it leaves you gasping, with Braid Fidel doing the background score, the movie is a real GEM.

Faun has mentioned this in the statement "another one where she played the role of a rape victim."...& again u r saying the same.....

Martyrs (6/10) - A unique plot....somewhere leaves u questioned...why???....

Currently watching "Descent" this movie will give u shock treat....only 32mins r remaining to see...

Happened to watch this couple of weeks back. Though movie was decent I didn't find it to be exceptional. Also most of the hindi movie goers expect heroes etc to be larger than life characters.

guys since everybody is talking about Social Network
Can someone let me know if this movie is worth a watch?
I think DVD has already released if I'm not mistaken.
