Personally I don't believe in IMDb ratings anymore.
Eg, Mission to Mars(2000) is just 5.2 on IMDb. But I loved that sci-fi!

That girl in yellow boots - Biggest disappointment from Anurag Kashyap. The movie is too slow and the so called cracker ending was very lame.

Rise of planet of the apes - Very enjoyable. Going by the collections this movie generated, the sequel should be a smash hit.

Pyar ka Punchanama - Neat. Nicely portrayed how girls screw up your lives.

Diary of June - Sort of Korean Se7en with some humor added to it. Good watch.

Faces in the crowd - Interesting thriller portraying a woman suffering from a condition called Prosopagnosia. If you are Milla Jovovich fan, this one's for you.

Hangover 2 - Was difficult for me to finish it. Part one was totally awesome, part2 completely falls apart.

Koreans have made some of those best murder mystry movies,and I am not talking about Old Boy(which is so overrated!)

Apologies I missed this post ... No I havent seen Divergence, however its just 5.5 in IMDB, is it really good ...???

Yeah its got a very low score for the kinda movie it is. I watched it some 4/5 years back & I was very satisfied after watching the movie. Guess gotta watch it again to see why such low score.

The Woman - This is one movie which makes your brain go totally numb. Reaches new limits in torture and gore. Meanwhile it also has an interesting storyline. This must be one of the weirdest movie you'd ever see.
A comment from a imdb user reflecting my feelings - fresh, original, intelligent, disturbing, sick... all the elements for a fine film... go go go see it!

^^haven't watched those two. I usually watch Donnie Yen's martial arts movies. But most of Donnie Yen's movies(except for the recent & some old gems like Iron Monkey) have non-existent plot like Legend of Wolf, Heroes Among Heroes, Wing Chun, Butterfly and Sword, Flash Point, Kill Zone & many more. Most of 'em are not worth remembering except for Ip Man series, Swordsmen, Seven Swords, Once Upon a Time in China II & Hero.

But the thing that interested me the most is the fact that Salman Khan(in Dabang) decided to copy the final action sequence from Flash Point. What was he thinking??:shock:..He aint Donnie Yen. He has a rigid body unlike Donnie's who is flexible & fast & he started training in Wushu since his childhood. And Salman thought he could do all those stunts overnight.

off the above I havent seen Legend of Wolf, Heroes Among Heroes, Wing Chun, Butterfly and Sword, swordsmen and seven sword .......which one could be worth, or none is ... :).............. rest all eaten up. Flash Point was class, specially the end fight scene. And its not salman who decided to copy the scene,:) must be the director or the stunt coreographer ... :)

Wasn't the director one of his brothers?? Its still all in the family :D.

Well about the movies one thing that you can be sure of - amazing fight sequences!! If you just wanna watch the action sequences then I suggest get all of the above otherwise I aint at all impressed with the narration & plot except for Swordsmen. I had cut all the MA sequences from flicks like Flash Point, Kill Zone, Legend of Wolf, Iron Monkey & likes & put 'em in a folder. I used to watch only those whenever I was in a mood of watching MA flicks.
