Watch The Garden of Words by Makoto Shinkai (director). It is an animated short feature film.
Genre: Romance, growing up
Languages available: Japanese, English (Japanese audio with English subtitles is the most easily available one, although an English dub does exist)
I love it because it is a very well crafted story that really justifies the title. It is amazing for what it achieves in less than an hour.
Either I'm getting old for animation movies or this really a flat movie. This is like "Taken 2" where a spin off is offered just to cash its previous success.
The animation is top notch though, minions makes you chuckle at times. But this is really really for kids who could be innocent enough to laugh on any shiny and bright colored objects to fall.
Hitchcock 8/20
A movie on the making of "Psycho"!
Along with making of the film this very well shows Hitchcock's life, thinking and struggle.
Anthony Hopkins just make you believe that you are watching the Master himself; brilliant acting, more brilliant make up and an weird accent (I doubt if Hitchcock actually had such accent) makes him steal every scene he's in.
And, I must name Helen Mirren here who acted as Alma, Hitchcock's wife. She's a brilliant actor. She might be only perfect actor in the whole movie who not for even one moment gave you a lesser shot...she's just brilliant.
Himmatwala 2013
Maybe because i saw it after reading the reviews and expecting nothing. Even though paresh rawal did one of his worst acting in this movie trying to imitate kader khan.I still think its better than the old one.
I saw both the himmatwala old & new back to back & i liked the new one. The new one tried to remove the flaws of the old one but stumbled due to improper direction and some bad scripts. Leaving it hanging somewhere in between gunda and the original film. But its better than movies like khiladi 786, houseful etc.
I have almost same things to say about the same movie. This movie was made to be as if it was the most awful movie ever. But it was much better than what I expected. I was really expecting this movie to be one big bore. 7/10
+1 to that. Looking forward to The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Maybe the concluding part of the first one.
Watched Django Unchained going by the IMDB ratings of 8.5/10. The movie, IMO, was pathetic. Horrible story, horrible movie. A lot of gore and violence. Waste of "sauce" throughout the whole movie.

So I and my friend planned this movie marathon for today. "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag"(BMB from now on) and "Pacific Rim"(PR from now on) back to back. Timing for BMB was 1.20PM and PR was was 5:05PM. We calculated that as BMB finishes we would get 15 minutes time for break and thus it was set.
Everything was going as per planned but suddenly electricity went out at 4PM. It took them 10 minutes to sort things out. Till then it was chaos in theatre. Well, the movie finished at 5PM, well not actually finished the moment it said "Based on true story" we bolted from theatre and started running for exit. Got out, again took entry standing in queue and went into PR show. Next time someone tells you he has watched back to back movies in cinema hall them him my story. Unfortunately this is a fine example of watching back to back shows
Bhag Milkha Bhaag 6.5/10
(Not impressed, not going to do full review)
One long, boring, melodramatic good movie. Watch only for Farhan Akhtar. He's a fine example of how dedicated an actor can be for a role. He alone pushed this immovable boulder and none but him should get any credit for this movie's success. And, another man should leave country as he/she'll be on a wanted list...the fcking editor of this movie. Was he sleeping when it movie came to him or he was not paid at all.
Why so much minute details? There is a 15 minutes scene on every available TRIVIA on Milkha Singh. And those trivia do not contribute anyway in the main story. Then there comes those misplaced songs and overdose of slow-mo.
This movie bored me. You can start for my home already to beat me but that is my opinion about this movie.
Pacific Rim 7/10
This movie is directed by "Guillermo del Toro". This is the same guy who directed "Pan's Labyrinth" the 3 times Oscar winning movie and also was involved in making this year's one of the good horror movies i.e. "Mama". He previously directed "Hellboy" both movies and "Blade 2". But never a large-scale movie like this one. He proved with proper funding he too can take head on with Michael Bay... he's like the final word on versatility
Got exactly what I wanted awesome, jaw dropping action but sadly on the send half mostly. Go for this, you won't regret.
I did get bored mid way in a few dialog scenes, but its a okay.. Graphics look good but there is no story as such, just action. background score is the one which makes up the points for the movie.
EDIT: cliche San Francisco bridge destruction as seen in the trailer.
Pacific Rim : 7/10 as film critic, but that isn't all about it, as a fanboy I will rate it 8+/10 and go for a rewatch anytime.
No matter what the expectation was, ultimately I watned to see some giant robot actions with amazing cgi effects, and that is where the movie triumphed, its all about that, most of the time. Rest of the scenes are very free flowing, coherent to the action sequences. Not much of a storyline is there, just the same old
recruiting a long forgotten deserted soldier and turning out hes the best, then some sacrifices
, something we have already seen in many movies already.
As for the action sequences, CGI as pretty good, sound and music tracks were all very aligned, it was a immersive experience. Action choreography and screening tho, was not up to expectation at times - they probably wanted to show the robots as real big things, and filled up the screen with parts of their body most of the time. It felt like the cams were too close to the action and was a bit difficult to trace movements
there was a sword scene, up in the sky, thought it would be spectacular, buy turned out not so much of a scene, it was difficult to track the move with everything being so up close
.
All in all, it was very enjoyable movie, vanilla flavoured popcorn grade, although it would have been nicer to see a good storyline with some character development with depths, but well well.
Will wait for the next installment to arrive in future, hopefully that will be better.
p.s. Make sure to book a seat, that is center of a row and the row itself is very far away from screen, or the up close cams will irritate you during action scenes. And i felt this.
but to compare with, transformer franchisee has some story and characters. this film lacks both. i really want to see a pacific rim sequence, but i am afraid, only showing giant robots will not hook up people to it.
