The Passion of Christ :- 9/10

Man, after watching so many gore/violence movies, I thought that this movie would hardly effect me. I was wrong. This movie is just so disturbing. Ethan was right, this is mental torture.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine 8/10

Oh, I miss my days of "First day first show"....

This is a nice movie. 1 point extra given only for climax action scene. It was supposed to be answers. But it provided a bit less or should I say un-satisfying ones.

The kind of complex and unstable minded character of wolverine was portrayed earlier, the reasons shown here are not enough.

And, the action scenes are very short. It just doesn't quench the thirst.

Hugh Jackman needs no comment. But in part2 Major Striker was a fat short man here he's a lean taller man...

And, its shown that the metal in Wolverine's body is adamantium. Does it fall in category of iron, steel etc? How does Magneto controls it?

Last words: If u r a fan of the series (as like me) watch it in theater else wait for the DVD release. Not a very spectacular movie to be watched in cinema hall.

Dragon Tiger Gate 8/10

"Yaadon ki baarat" with lots of awesome fight.

Story: Where is it? Oh there's one liner. Acting in flashback parts were good.

Nokia main sponsor of the movie

When Dragon was fighting with Shibumi, both of them started falling. Dragon felt water. Was it sinking feeling?

That Shibumi guy had a multistory nothing. Means it had only roofs with pillars.

And he could afford to hire only two people (deadly duo or something was the name) who were killed earlier. So, at climax scene only he was fighting our three heroes alone.
(Ok, ok...I got, it was given a comical (not comedy but comics like) treatment. a bit dreamy and un-natural, but he could have cared a bit logic though).

Fight sequences are worth watching...*s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj44/visio159/Unismilies/31.png

They say it's a fictional iron based alloy. It's almost indestructible. In one of the comics, it is shown that Magneto was able to rip apart the adamantium out of Logan's body. So it is has metallic properties as well. I'm sure he has manipulated it a lot of times in the movies too.

LOL! I oughta be asking you the same question, but looks like you already answered it.

Anyway I just got back from work. Shift ended at 3:30 & reached home by 4:00AM. Was fiddling around on Rage3D forum & here for sometime before I crash into my bed.

OT: What movie are you watching right now?

Hope you already got hold of the song. Its by Natacha Atlas and the song is Gafsa.

Yes....I got it. But only the song alone is not bringing the feeling, I think the environment the movie has set up contributes a lot.


4bia 8/10

Its collection of four short stories. Theme is supernatural.
1st story: Good. Better than 4th one.
2nd story: Neither a very good storyline nor anything new. Even the camerawork is too flashy. May be a new director who is overconfident about his techniques. Has used all cheap tricks. Would have been good as a short story but not a screenplay.
3rd story: Gr8. Only climax is inspired by Ram Gopal Verma. Indians see Korean movies and Koreans see Indian movies
4th story: Good.

Wasn't aware of the common connection between these movies. For me, while Eternal sunshine was comprehendable, Synecdoche was way too twisted. Didn't enjoy Synecdoche much.

Watched Malkovich in 2003 I think. Didn't understand a word of it(same was the case with The Big Lebowski, which I hated that time). Maybe now I will. Now according to me, Lebowski is one of the most intelligent comedies.
