cowboys & Aliens :- 6/10

Movie is Damn Lengthy with nothing much going on. But Ya it is still one time watch.. I had watched extended Edition so it was more ..... Extended edition is 135 Mins and IMO it should have been ended in 90-105 Mins most with credits.

Movie is pretty average nothing special I liked Harrison ford character and his Acting. .
Yea, I watched the Extended one too, without knowing though...too damn long...
If Ford and Craig weren't involved this movie would be a 3/10.

^wow theres a lot going on in cowboys and aliens, if you dont understand the kvlt nature of the title and watch the movie just for the subject matter, or appreciate the background history of the narrative (thats where the movie packs the punch), then you can miss a lot and the movie can appear empty, that said they didnt do it obviously enough or well enough, or consistently enough but it was a good attempt, and still a very rewatchable movie

Trespass. Common story with the glittering of Cage and Kidman. Another one time watch and time pass.

Democracy is a myth
Puncture 5.7/10

A David and Goliath law drama about a drug-addicted lawyer who takes on a health supply corporation while battling his own personal demons

This is how the movie is described in IMDB and has a rating of 7.1. I was fooled by two things..."law drama" and rating.

An absolute bore. I waited the whole movie for a court scene (there were but just to show that our protagonists are lawyers and they fight actual cases).

The movie had a very noble cause to show and had every chance to be another "The Verdict" but it stopped right before the case trial begins in court.

At the end of the movie its shown to us audience in writing that they won the case! WTF! I know they would win the case...that is the whole point of making a movie...good always win! I wanted to see the drama and I was deprived of it.

Not just the reason that I'm bored, I'm angry as I got fooled this way.

In one word....KLPD!

DESI BOYZ

Story :- What story? :confused: i dont remember if there was any story.
Cinematography:- hmm....quite good.
music:- Yes some musical scores are quite good thats why you need a theater
(does not mean multiplex.It is advisable to ignore a multiplex for this film).Btw i think only two songs are memorable others not much impressive.
Dialogue:- Some dialogues are quite witty.Some are idiotically cheesy.
Direction:- Not that bad even without having any story in the film it is clean.No extra sh it nothing! It just starts and ends within 2hrs time.
Entertainment value :- At some point i was feeling like when will this movie end. But still if you are bored and want to pass the time watch it otherwise not.Even if you try to apply your mind here you wont find anything because there is nothing to ponder!

The Devil
^ I can, I LOUVE that genre.

--Anatomy of a murder
--The Verdict
--Call northside 777
--Witness for the prosecution
--The Exorcism of Emily Rose
--Fracture (not a whole hog but a good portion)

These are few I've seen or at least I could remember right now.

Best TV show in that genre is "Perry Mason"... I love this genre and you can trust me on "Perry Mason" (its case boos are sold in Crossword)

The Best Courtroom Dramas of All Time - Flickchart

If you love courtroom or single setting drama, watch Death and the Maiden.
A surprisingly good thriller despite having just 3 characters.

Democracy is a myth
Finished playing "Deus Ex HUman Revolution" and now I think I would come back to movies (not in full force as Perry Mason season 1 is still not finished!)

The Rainmaker 7.5/10

A good courtroom drama. Based on a novel by "John Grisham". Saw few movies based on his novels, I think I'll try few John Grisham books.

But, in two movies I saw I found a law student sits for bar exam only when he gets a job in any law farms...any connection?

If 5M people can go ga-ga over that Kolaveera song, or what ever the hell it is, all movies should be a minimal 8/10.
