Movie: Easy-A (2010)
Emma Stone is the the star of the movie as she carries the entire movie on her shoulders... Her quick humour and body language itself brings the best of the movie... If you are an Emma Stone fan, this movie is not to miss...
Rating: 8/10
Usual teen comedy aided by strong acting from Emma stone!

Added to watch list......

A work of genius in storytelling by David Fincher in what is a phenominal adaption of the killings of the Zodiac killer. Clever casting for the lead roles leads to some outstanding performances by Jake Gyllenhall, Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo.


Zodiac (2007) 8/10
R | 157 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery | 2 March 2007 (USA)

Re: Movies Discussion Thread V1: Ratings and Opinions

Kim-Ku Duk's sparse, poetic and surreal film about the human cost of the North-South Korean border tensions is at times among his best work and and other times among his most unfocused.


The Coast Guard (2002) 6/10
"Hae anseon" (original title)
R | 91 min | Action, Drama, War | 22 November 2002 (South Korea)

The wicker man
A good Psychological suspense thriller.

Re: Movies Discussion Thread V1: Ratings and Opinions

This is one of those movies where the simpler it is, the better. "The Woman in Black" is a suspenseful horror, with frequent scares.,

Sound of My Voice is a very effective, gripping movie with intelligence and imagination.
Its realism and hypnotic stillness that proves quite mesmerizing and menacing at the same time. Britt Marling has a remarkable screen presence that makes you question and then re-question your ability to correctly perceive what's happening in front of you.

A Western Movie, ‘Slow West’ is a sort of Greek tragedy in a Western setting but with a somewhat hopeful twist and a nontraditional take on the unrequited love story.

Re: Movies Discussion Thread V1: Ratings and Opinions

This movie is mindless, entertaining fun. If you're expecting a Judgement Day level of thoughtfulness, then you'll definitely be disappointed. I was just looking to be entertained and on that point I was thoroughly satisfied.,

Re: Movies Discussion Thread V1: Ratings and Opinions

Papanasam : 9/10
(Desperate measures are taken by a man who tries to save his family from the dark side of the law, after they commit an unexpected crime. )

its a remake of the highly successful malayalam movie Drishyam. Anyone who has watched drishyam can immediately recognize the similarities. It is remade almost frame to frame with minimal changes.
Kamal hassan plays the mohanlal role, while gauthami plays the meena role.
The casting is good as all actors performed brilliantly.
Kamal hassan potrays a more emotional character as opposed to the cold emotioned mohanlal. In my opinion, this is what favours me more towards papanasam than drishyam. The background score is consistent as well.

Definitely must watch !!!!


P.S : The final moments of the movie where kamal hassan's character gets emotional is an example of how legendary he is.. Such is the power of kamal hassan.

Before that you must read this Origin of Drishyam....Post no. #23207
