127 Hours is hitting the cinema this week. Good thing I held off watching it.
For those who have seen The Green Hornet in 3D, what's your verdict? It looked like a total fail movie from the Trailer. I absolutely loathe Seth Rogen, but my friends were insisting on watching this movie. YAY or NAY?

To be honest, I have a gut feeling this movie would blow and hence I stalled everyone from watching it. 127 Hours would be on this weekend, so hope that it would be a good watch. A.R Rahman has provided the soundtrack right?
Now if only we could get Black Swan to release out here. I would really like to watch it in a theatre.
@Sam: Feelings mutual.

Democracy is a myth
Donnie Darko 8/10
Last night, I thought I've understood the movie at least 80% but after reading this I think I did not at all understood the movie.
This movie surpasses Inception by miles in mindfcuk genre!!!
The explanation and the movie both now seems confusing. Should I read the explanation again or watch the movie again?

At first I was sure about it too but the guy in IMDB included tangent universe and primary universe in his post and reading that I'm confused.
What he did and why is clear...but if u follow the explanation mentioned in the link, how he did it, is not clear to me...
Phas Gaye Re Obama 8/10
Another gem of 2010.
A comedy movie with a script (which is very rare now-a-days).
Plot Summary: NRI OM Shastri is broke after recession hits USA, going to loose his home very soon if he doesn't come up with enough money to save it. He visits India to sell of his old "haveli" but finds all his relatives now stay there. He is now in a dilemma how he could make the deal, in between local goons come to know that an NRI has returned to the village and kidnaps him. The movie starts here.
Directing: The movie is directed in a very smart way, no unnecessary scenes, no songs (oh, that's a breather) and a nice crisp and fresh presentation.
Editing: The editor did a superb job here. I can not point out a single scene which is stretched unnecessarily or slows down the pace of the movie. For a movie like this pace is very important which keeps the audience engaged and keeps them guessing whats gonna be next.
Acting: I liked acting of Mannu Rishi in "Oye Lucky..." and he shines again here. Rajat Kapoor, I would say, had not had much acting scope. He did what the script wanted him to do...i.e.go with the flow. But, I would admit Neha Dhupia's effort, she is becoming an unavoidable choice for such small budget movies. And her acting skills are mentionable now. AND, SANJAY MISHRA as BHAISAAB is nothing but superb...each scene he is on screen is a LOL moment. Kudos to him. Amol Gupte also did a good job too. So, it seems I've praised all who acted in the movie...hmmm...
Cinematography: Not much scope to show u scenic beauty of the place but the camera shows u what u need to see. No unnecessary closeup, no try to invent a new camera angle...the camera work goes with movie tone...telling a simple story in a simple way and keeping the focus on story.
Verdict: A very good black comedy. Expect an intelligent story with a predictable ending (only if u r movie buff and I mean it when I say "movie buff"). Don't expect a laugh-out-loud movie like Khichdi (none can surpass it, ever) but, ya if u want to include brain and still want to make people laugh, u can only go this far as did "Phas gaye re obama". A must watch for sure.

How come Javier Bardem nominated in best actor category? The film is also nominated for Best Foreign Film.
When is band baaja baarat dvd expected?
Four Lions all the way. Strictly with subtitles. And you enjoy it the most when you watch it second time.
This movie reminds me of Fight Club. Every dialogue is a legend. Twitter for #fourlions. People are going crazy over it.
