Raid 2

With a bigger budget and more blood and guts this film isnt one that can be ignored

The story straightaway can be written off as being poor and badly written A tighter script with a streamlining of the running time and a cut to the unnecessary charcters and scenes wouldve ensured a better film

The action which is the real point of this film is brutal in parts and a couple of charcters (baseball and hammer duo) do really add immensely to the films action The climatic one on one scenes are epic but the overdose of violence and fight pieces throughout do take something away from the quality scenes when they come

Overall a bit of hotch potch of some really good and some poor For people wanting to see a quality package this will be a let down

Overall id give raid 2 7/10, its nowhere near as good as the first film But it does contain even more brutal and astonishing violence and a couple of epic martial arts characters and sequences you are ever likely to see

An utterly insane movie from the demented mind of David Cronenberg. But a smart, perceptive and eerily foreboding film as well. James Woods is excellent as a sleazy but likeable TV programmer who shows violent and disturbing stuff for ratings. It gets to a point where you don't know what's real and what's hallucination. Blurring of reality and television is an amazing theme furthered today by "Reality-tv" and the public desire for violence and sleaze as shown today by the success of gory horror movies like Saw and Hostel.

Watch it for the gore. Watch it for the philosophy. BUT WATCH IT!!!

Death to Videodrome! Long live the new flesh!!!

8/10
 
I watched a lot of black and white movies. They were simply awesome. 12 angry men was one hell of a movie.
 
Before Sunshine

Two strangers met in a train and start conversation.......thought the movie has very rating on IMDB but i was disappointed by it :(
 
Shutter Island 8/10

One word. Mystified. This film is for the ones who enjoy movies with cliff hangers.

Ending could have been better though
 
Can't believe I hadn't watched this movie before despite hearing about it from almost everyone I know.

Silence of the Lambs.

Decided to watch it last night. Man, what a movie. Haven't watched such a fantastic film in ages. Hats off to everyone associated with this masterpiece.

One of the best one on serial killers.

Hopkins was just brilliant.
 
The Raid 2

I left the cinema pretty much speechless last night and the morning after the night before I'm still in a daze. It was without doubt the best action/martial arts movie I have ever seen.

The story was decent enough despite the plot holes but it was never ever going to be about that. Make no mistake, everyone watches The Raid for its action and it doesn't get any better than this.

It is bigger, better, gorier and far more brutal than the first and whereas the first got slightly repetitive this just got more crazier and unique. The last couple of fights were unbelievable.

Watch this now in the cinema.

9.5/10
 
Warhorse 9/10

The story of horse who is taken away by the Army during the WWII from hi owner who is left in tears and vows to reunite with the pet...... Great movie
 
Raid 2...

Its hollywoodized this time. Its not the same movie....the first one was like ~10 minutes of dialogues and non stop action.

The 2nd part is mostly dialogues and buildup to the fight scenes..at certain points the buildup of the story is slow and can get boring.

The action is great. The graphics are top notch..violence and fight scenes are plenty

As a raid film Id give it 3/10 but as an action movie Ill give it around 7.5-8/10.

Worth watching. Im happy for the Indonesian cinema, on par with Hollywood with action, if not better.

P.s. the 2nd part starts 2 hours after whatever happens in raid 1, raid 3 will start 3 hours before the ending of part 2.

The Grand Budapest Hotel

One of the most delightful and witty yet whimsical and heartfelt movies I've seen in a long time. Movies like these reminds me why I fell in love with this medium in the first place. Ralph Fiennes is a brilliant actor and this may possibly be his most memorable performance. The interplay between him and young Zero Mustafa is genuinely amusing. In fact all the odd little characters of this movie are memorable. Adrain Broody as the flamboyant and narcissistic rich heir, William Dafoe as his evil and ruthless henchman, Jeff Goldblum as the debonair lawyer, Saoirse Ronan as the innocent girl that is hard to not fall in love with. Plus cameos by Harvey Keitel, Bill Murray, Jude Law, Tilda Swinton etc. and last but not the least Tony Revolori as the young Zero, a breakthrough performance. Wes Anderson presents his stories with a child like wonderment and innocence that is hard to find in movies nowadays. There is a method to his madness, an artistry perfected over the years of mixing eccentricity with fairy tale charm, of great astonishment with complex emotions and feelings. He is a pure gem in the sea of mediocrity that is today's Hollywood. His movies, particularly this one, are like sweet and endearing dreams, like that beautifully wrapped pink box carrying that heavenly desert that plays such an important part in the movie, you can never have enough of them.

Did we watch the same film?? I thought it was insane, never seen anything like it and way beyond anything Hollywood has to offer.

Your right It was insane and yes its way beyond anything Hollywood has to offer but that doesnt make it a great martial arts film And certainly not the greatest!

If you look above the gore and incessant violence theres the good and bad to this film
 
Raid 2

Loved it. Bone crunching violence & good storyline. Bring on Raid 3.
 
Witness 8.5/10

Very good movie apart from first 10 minutes the movie very gripping story about a young boy who is witness to a murder done by a police officer........also made me curious about the amish people :13:

Warhorse 9/10

The story of horse who is taken away by the Army during the WWII from hi owner who is left in tears and vows to reunite with the pet...... Great movie

the scene with the german and the pom in no mans land took that movie from being average to good
 
The Wolf of wall street

This is more closer to Goodfellas or Taxi driver but not as entertaining as Shutter Island or the departed.

Not one of the types that you would want to watch second time around.

Not as good as reviews state. Too long aswell.

Loved it! Was really surprised by how gripping and heartwarming it turned out to be.


Shutter Island 8/10

The ending was my favourite part! What a closing line!

Scorsese's films (for me) usually turn out to be overrated, but this one and Taxi Driver are the exceptions.

Silence of the Lambs.

Decided to watch it last night. Man, what a movie. Haven't watched such a fantastic film in ages. Hats off to everyone associated with this masterpiece.

One of the great psychological thrillers to be made.

The scene with the piano music is immense.

Criminally underrated! Harrison Ford's best acting effort, while Kelly McGillis is beautiful and intriguing. Great 'Straw Dogs'-style payoff in the last 30 minutes as well.

Did you or anyone else notice a very young Viggo Mortensen as an Amish in the horse and cart? Crazy.
 
The Quiet Ones.

Wonderfully jumpy British 'New Hammer' horror film, with a disturbing resolution.

Demonic possession and exorcism, but not to a silly degree.
About a group of Oxford students investigating the supernatural through a supposedly mentally ill teenage girl.
 
High Tension (Switchblade Romance/High Tension) - French slasher flick.

Quality. Big ass twist at the end which in hindsight makes little logical sense but a good movie nonetheless.
 
Watched Apocalypto again recently as well.

Not historically accurate in the slightest (Mayans and Aztecs are two different folk lol) but cinematographically brilliant.

Perhaps it was the months of hype but in my book this is absolutely a great martial arts film and its IMDB rating suggests the same. Seriously, this movie ruined movies in general for me, I'm just not that hyped for anything else this year.
 
The Hunt

A Danish film about how our inner insecurities lead us to believe in rumors, half truths and gossip. While this preoccupation is harmless at times, it can lead to devastating consequences as portrayed in this fine movie. The assumption that children are always right and an over riding instinct to protect them cause a teacher to get into deep trouble. The nature of the allegations are so vile and hateful that even his best friends, neighbors and in fact the whole town turns against him without even caring to know if he is really guilty or not. Great acting from the lead Mads Mikkelsen and beautifully shot. The quality and content of foreign movies like these almost makes one want to give up on Hollywood altogether.
 
Yep, no romance, vulgarity, nudity or weird accent. Romance , although is not a bad thing but i hate nudity and creepy accent in films.

Yeah, in other words - no cheap laughs.

All character and plot driven.

Great movie..highly recommended if you haven't seen it already.
 
Cheap Thrills..7/10..

A scheming couple put a struggling family man and his old friend through a series of increasingly twisted dares over the course of an evening at a local bar.
 
Equilibrium. Inspired by 1984(the book). The setting(Libria) is very modern day Pakistan like so if you've lived there, you can relate to it.

8/10

The hunt is a great film..worth a watch.

Definately. Superbly acted- especially Mads Mikkleson.
 
'Main Tera Hero' (2014)

Apart from a few funny scenes here and there, it was overall a pretty rubbish film, albeit short in length which is always refreshing to see in Bollywood.

Varun Dhawan, the hero, the son of the film´s director David Dhawan, was at times trying too hard to copy Salman Khan, who too of course is acting-wise very over-rated. Not a man to idolise I am afraid if you are fond of 'acting' properly.

This film just tells you that David is still stuck in the 1990s.
 
That is incredible , how you find time ?

Is the movies list not exhausted ?

Not really i'm unemployed atm so have loads of time also i avoid going outside etc to save money and stay at home so movies is all that what i am left with
 
Triangle. Pretty well made low budget time travel thriller.
 
The Chinese Torture Chamber Story I 4/10

First Chinese/HKG film which i've watched the story was terrible add to it i have to rely on subtitles only infact it really was a torture watching all that weird stuff, thought the name Little Cabbage was interesting :))
 
The Raid Redemption -8/10
Brilliant .If your looking for an action movie with plenty of violence this is one not to be missed .

Watched Noah. I thought it was absolute garbage.

The cast tried hard but the film just didn't do it for me.

4/10.
 
Devils due.

Surprisingly a lot better than the ratings and reviews it got.
 
Cannibal holocaust 10/10

Arguably one of the best films ever made. Beautifully filmed showing the wonders of the humans nature.
 
You should have written something about the movie , so others may know

Triangle.

A single mother of an autistic child gets invited to a boat trip by her friends to take her mind off things. Twenty minutes into it something strange happens. The wind completely stops. And then the real film starts on a seemingly abandoned ship.

Time travel and portals are the main theme. Will get people thinking and discussing the movie long after it is finished as most time travel movies do.

For a low budget, a good attempt overall. Probably would give it a 6.5
 
Get Carter (1971) 5/10

A gangster's brother dies and he suspects that it was not an accident and tries to investigate it himself. movie' imdb ranking is certainly inflated and sometimes one wonders that what is happening around (either its too much of thriller or a poor thriller) also in the latter part the nudity creeps in which was also painful to watch
 
'The Amazing Spider-Man' (2012)

Wow, quite a film! Wonderful stuff!

I didn't get one thing though, did the guy keep the promise that he made to the girl's father or did he break it? And if he broke it, what exactly then was the purpose of that promise at all?

Maybe its sequel might tell us whether the promise was kept or broken.
 
Prisoners -8/10
Kept me interested through. The only issue was it was maybe 15 mins too long and personally I didn't like how it ended .

I found it to be a average reboot. Bland & dull. To date, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2 remains the best one.
 
Not one spider man movie has been good.

In fact he is by far the worst super hero ever made.

Can't stand him. Such a wimp.

I think there is something wrong with me perhaps. I end up liking and giving positive reviews most of the times, and only give a negative one only if a film happens to be a very, very, very bad one!

One thing that didn´t make much sense was the conversion of the villain onto being a villain. The explanation behind it seemed pretty lame and poorly constructed one. Hey, but I like Spiderman´s stunt etc. though. Not a bad superhero in my opinion.
