It is not ... definitely not J a sex comedy...infact not a comedy at all.... lot of nudity and close up shots....but the movie was shot with a very serious tone.

Astaghfirullah:moyo! Why do you watch such films, mate:O?!

:P
 
Watched Amazing Spiderman on Sky Premier

Must admit I liked the dark undertone to the movie and it was much better than the original Tobey Maguire one..

Not so sure about Irrfan Khan making an appearance in the movie
 
Watched Argo. Loved it. Really well made and excellent acting 8/10

Also watched a Bollywood film called Kahaani. Was ok but then the weird twist at the end spoilt it. The actress Vidya Bhalan is really good in it though 6.5/10.

Also watched Silent Hill 2. Absolute garbage, strange film which I would avoid if I were you 3/10.
 
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring [Extended Version]: 9.5/10

One does not simply dislike a movie with Sean Bean in it. Sean Bean fighting with 3 arrows in him. Sean Bean giving a badass speech with 3 arrows in him.
 
Primal Fear

watched it again .......... great movie ........ one of the best court room dramas.

9 / 10
 
watched TED, really enjoyed it..
movie was never in my watchlist until i saw the oscar ceremony hosting by seth macfarlane :yk

because of Peters voice for TED, cnat stop comparing it with family guy..
 
Pulse

Started of well , not that great end. Was a good concept , could have been better. Enjoyed some parts though.

5.5 / 10
 
Twelve Monkeys

Although does not make much sense but keeps you interested in every scene..Brad Pitt was quite good with his role and acting....8/10 movie

Lock,Stock and Two smoking barrels

Similar to Snatch of Brad Pitt....i think 8.5/10 movie
 
Dredd
A dissapointing film tbh, the B grade nature of the film and the copy script of raid were a real let down, decent but was expecting a lot more
4/10



New Police Story
A good serious action film starring jackie chan, much rather prefer him in such roles rather than clowning around worth a watch
7/10



The sweeney
Bit far fetched and ott but enjoyable
6/10


About Elly
From oscar winning director of a separation, this is a good piece of drama that follows a similar concept
8/10



The watch
Better than the reviews suggest, funny and the cast do a great job. There is however a lot of unnecessary crude and vulgar language used unnecessarily
7/10



5 broken cameras
Real life documentary filmed on a handheld camera, a village in the west bank whos palestinain inhabitants land is taken off them and are violently abused by soldiers and illegal settlers over the course of several years and 5 broken cameras as they protest
Recommended
9/10

I was actually watching this movie last night..9 for sure. Its the same guy who made A separation and used the same cast.
 
American Psycho

Good movie for Time pass I would say ....... the ending was a bit weird , but overall interesting.

6.5 / 10
 
I enjoyed Dredd.

The last film i watched was Cloud Atlas. I can't work out if i enjoyed it or not.

So, many ............. wow !!!
 
Crash 2004

Amazing film with no story....The message is humanity and love..completely different from mainstream movies,difinately a 9/10 film..
 
Oblivion starring Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman.

Came out of the cinema with my head and eyes hurting.

If you are a fan of sci-fi and loads of fast paced action this film is for you. I never enjoyed it at all 3/10.
 
@Saj, i had a feel it would be more of a spectacle rather than intense focus on storyline development. The visuals looked amazing in the trailer though, still might go to watch it.
 
Seven Psychopaths, 7.5/10 an extremely underated movie i urge all movie lovers to watch this, in particular those who who favour an original screenplay and an unconvential style of directing/stroy-telling. It finds the perfect balance between humour, action and drama for me and a real breath of fresh air in a long time, one of my top movies from the last 12 months:

Django
Skyfall
Seven Psycopaths
Dark knight rises

Yet to see argo and zero dark thirty....
 
Thought so, movies like skyfall are underated. It didnt even get nominated for best picture at the oscars now that's a farc
 
Little miss sunshine

If you have a good sense of humour then it is a 9.5/10 movie...or if you liked Silver Linnings Playbook then this movie is for you..
 
Night of the demons (1988)
7.5/10

A charming horror movie from the 80s. Some dark humour and sleaze as well. But the skill of the director is undeniable.
 
Perfume- The story of a Murderer

Good one. Background is France in olden days. A very interesting movie.

8 / 10

I use to go to an islamic school and the teacher organised for us to the see the movie and while that scene was playing he was like brotherss!!! this is how they use to fight in the time of our prophet pbuh! this is what you call true bravery and courage!! LOL
 
The Girl with Dragon tattoo

Good , solid script. Loved the movie. Acting could have been better , still the story line was fresh.

Its about how an investigator unearths the mystery of a missing girl for over 40 years.

8.5 / 10

The original or the remake with Daniel Craig?
 
The Devil's Double

Loved it. Although im not sure if it is based entirely on facts...some of it is OTT.
 
Trance

Solid if unspectacular pyschological thriller from D Boyle Plenty of twists and turns and good performances

7/10


Taken 2

One of the worst films ive seen in a long time There are no redeeming features Everything is pretty awful from the dialogue to the action and the atrocious story

Was expecting a lot after taken but this was a huge dissapointment Utter waste of time Avoid

2/10

Yeah I liked Trance, but some critics didn't like it it seems, certainly different from D Boyle's earlier films, lot of colour, nudity etc. and story was a bit loose in terms of treatment, maybe that put them off.
 
The Knowing

A movie about future predictions. Started off well ......... guess the end was not up to the mark. Still a kind of once watch movie.

5 / 10
 
5 centimeters per second.

It's childish, unsubstantial and naïve.

Still had me crying. 9/10.

Look it up on Youtube but I would suggest a better rip because the movie is beautiful.

Night of the Demons 2
7/10


Ultimate party flick. Morphs into a truly hilarious comedy with horror bits added. Works much better as a gross comedy than a pure horror film. Fabulous acting by the woman who plays the ultra strict Mother Superior.
 
The Place Beyond the Pines 6/10 - way too long, too much overacting.

Trance 7/10 - Inception-type confusion going on, with a story in a story in a story. FYI - there is full frontal nudity (was not expecting this).
 
Oblivion 6/10

I enjoyed it due to the awesome visuals & sci-fi themes. The director has borrowed massively from other films in the genre, Moon, 2001 etc. It's not as good as either of those though. Morgan Freeman despite being featured heavily in the marketing is hardly in it. Cruise is excellent as usual.

My girlfriend hated it.
 
Watched Old Boy,
3/10.

Didn't like it at all mainly because i wasn't expecting it to be the kind of movie it was.
On another day i would have even given it 10/10 but not today.

I did not like inception ......... too much fantasy.

Just a personal opinion. :D

The girls do not like these kind of stuff ..... :)
 
Red Dragon


To be honest I liked the movie. Interesting gripping story .......... backed by good acting.

If you like serial killer movies ......... cannot miss this one.

8 / 10
 
Latest G.I joe was hilarious, loved the way they make Pakistan nuclear free. Oblivion was also all right, nothing special but Tom Cruise still looks amazing for being 50. These movies are the ones i will must likely see in coming months.

Iron Man 3, After Earth, Man of Steel, im missing anything interesting?
 
Rewatching the Evil Dead series:

evil-dead-movie-poster-small.jpg


An epic trailblazing horror movie. Never gets old really. Some mediocre acting and kooky gore effects but the director's skill is undeniable. You have to watch it atleast once in your life.

9/10

And you are entitled to your opinion :) It's not as "fantasy-type" of Inception story-line as much as it is multiple confusing stories and scenarios within each other. Hard to keep up with until the end. And then there's the full frontal...you were warned!!!!
 
The Lincoln Lawyer starring Matthew McConaughey/Marisa Tomei/William H. Macy .

From IMDB .

A sleazy defense attorney has a crisis of conscience when he represents a wealthy client who has a foolproof plan to beat the system.

Rating 7.3/10 .

I am glad I got to see this flick , good acting and a gripping story-line .
 
An American Werewolf in London for me. A gem.

It was pretty good but far too tragic to be a horror comedy. It's amusing sometimes but not as openly hilarious yet kinda scary as EDII.

Don't get me wrong. I love Werewolf. But ED II is on another plane for me.

Another classic is Peter Jackson's Dead Alive. Not horror but a really sick comedy. i didn't know whether to throw up or laugh. :D

I buffered it to see once....... saw for about 20 mins , after that closed it.

I am a big fan of thrillers , heard a lot about Evil Dead series ......... never saw one till now.

Are they all so good?

I mean should I use my time to see this?
 
I think evil dead is a series that will always be good..dont expect high def graphics or anything (its not even about that)..but theyre good.

It's low budget but made with a lot of skill. First movie is serious horror with very little humour, 2nd has equal horror and comedy. 3rd part is a comedy. Haven't seen the remake but heard good things about it.
 
Finally watched 'Argo'. Not sure if its a good idea to watch a movie after it has won best movie Oscar. You always end up having such high expectations, even though the standard of Oscar winning movies have gone down over the years, you just expect to be wowed. I still liked 'Argo', only enough to give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. Maybe if I have watched it before it got the Oscar I might have given it 4 out of 5 star. Ben Affleck needs to seriously consider taking himself out of acting roles in his movies, the guy is just so monotonous. My theory that Hollywood gives Oscars not to the best movie but to the movie which can best portray a politically positive, pseudo artsy, often self congratulatory theme, ended up getting solidified after watching Argo. It's like Hollywood is in love with its own self more than anything. Last year it was 'The Artist', a movie about the movie industry, this year it's 'Argo', on how the making of a fake movie rescued six Americans. The narcissism of Hollywood is frankly getting out of hand and becoming a pretty obvious bait for future directors to look for scripts in which somehow Hollywood ends up being a hero or some kind of force for good in the world.

Bedazzled

Not a new movie. But caught it up over weekend. Entertaining movie .

The movie is about a man been granted 7 wishes by a " Devil " in exchange for his soul.

7 / 10
