[rajatGod512]

Saw Cabin in the Woods - 7/10
Even though I dont like Horror genre I thought to give this movie a go and it turned out good , it had some things which I wasn't expecting , It was a different kind of horror movie which I quite liked .

 

[vickybat]

^^Man how can you give it a 7/10
Its like the worst movie ever made and is a disgrace to horror genre imo.

 

[ratul]

well, this should be on the top of the list for every digitian here, released yesterday on torrents and youtube:

Death race was cheesy. Better to watch in hindi dubbing

Evil dead was better, dubbed in hindi.

Hindi dub is too hilarious. UTV Action must be your favorite channel. Watched Clash of the Titans, funny how they use local lingo. Even feel like catching the Twilight Eclipse showing after watching trailer.

hey there are a ton of legal uploads from the official sources as well. almost any bollywood movie is up there, officially. seen RHTDM, Dil Se, Bubblegum, Andaaz Apna Apna, and Baazigar recently, along with some must not watch movies - all of these are legal uploads. maybe we need our own full movies on youtube thread

As I said , I dont generally watch horror genre movies , so I dont know what the best there are in this genre , But I liked this one - it seemed different.

I don't watch tv.

The Maltese Falcon: 8/10

another old classic.. solid storyline, great acting.
only, the nasal voice of the detective got on my nerve.

 

[abhidev]

'Gangster Squad' - 7/10 ....reminded me of Mafia like setting...a good watch.

 

[rhitwick]

Thuppakki 5.5/10

Ah, a borefest. And copied the legendary "Taken" dialogue.
Someday the secret of its high rating in IMDB would be revealed.

What's that?

Burn after reading -
I simply don't like it. Its just like a 1.5hr drama with ensemble cast. Don't know why it got 7.1/10 in IMDB!!
Anyone watched this?

Star Wars Episode IV : A New Hope 8/10

Taken 2 - It was quite WTF. Just for the sake of making a sequel and cashing on it, the movie is made. Part 1 was a good masala movie, but second one disappoints.

Offtopic:

I earlier had filesonic and fileserve premium accounts, which were axed. Since then, I have been using torrents. I find torrents boring and am more comfortable with filesharing sites. I wish to buy a premium membership of 2 different filehosting sites (will share between couple of friends). No point in investing in lifemembership, learned from past experiences. Which filehosting sites should I go for downloading ...you know what...

Exactly my sentiments!

Should be enough for you.

The Dirty Picture 7.5/10

Vidaya Balan deserves the awards for this movie.
Till intermission the movie full of excitement and spicy dialogues, after intermission the pace slows down. And, few annoying songs. Even when only 10 minutes were left they put another song!
Vidya rocks!
Naseeruddin and (even) Imran Hasmi did good. I wish Tushar Kapoor gets struck by lightning and he gets the brilliant idea of quiting acting.

Special 26 7.5/10

The movie is 2.5 hrs long (yes, I checked!) which could have been easily shortened to 2Hrs.
Just remove all those good for nothing songs, few flashbacks (collage of scenes which you've already seen) and one or two more unnecessary scenes.

BUT, but don't go by that negative starting, this is a good movie and may be first hit of 2013 from Bollywood. Neat(well, 98% neat) script, short and smart dialogues accompanied with powerhouse acting of Manoj Bajpayee, Anupam Kher and Akshyay Kumar(I've never thought I would say Akshyay and good acting in one sentence, ever!)

Go, watch it...you'll definitely enjoy it.
Recommended.



//I wish I could make a stamp of "RECOMMENDED" and stamp on each (applicable) post of mine with it. Would look good...wouldn't it?

 

[Zangetsu]

Hold me Tight (2010) - 7/10
a very serious Drama and bit emotional movie....ending is also touchy
