9/10
WOW!!! The most badass action movie ever! The last 45 minutes are a proper 15/10.
Can't wait to see this. Is it better than 1?

Silver Linings Play Book - an ok movie, made tolerable by a wonderful soundtrack, e.g. "My Cherie Amour" by Stevie Wonder. I just don't get the hype surrounding Jennifer Lawrence. Yes, she is cute and easy on the eyes, but her overacting and exaggerated facial expressions make it so much harder to like her (and I really wanted to like her). The movie seemed like another Scorsese rip off only dealing with touchy feely personal psychological issues, always a favorite of the critics. I can crib more about this movie but wasn't expecting much of it anyways.

I thought Cooper was amazing in it.
The reason why I say this is because one of my best friends has bipolar.
This guy absolutely nails it. It is exactly how he has portrayed it and for that I think he deserves accolades and respect. There is no over acting like what you would see others do or worse yet what someone like Shahrukh would interpret and portray it as.
He keeps it simple. And he keeps it eeringly real. Disturbingly so.
But i agree overall that is is an overrated film. Just think that Cooper deserves some accolades for his performance. He ain't just a well built blonde hair blue eyed eye candy actor.
You should watch Richard Gere in Mr.Jones, Nic Cage in Matchstick Men and Nicholson in As good as it gets. Each portrayal is brilliant in their own right, Gere's being the most realistic but unfortunately packaged in a mediocre movie. I liked Coper's acting in this movie though the salvation part was a bit unrealistic and over the top, almost Hindi moviesque. He is definitely one of the better leading men in Hollywood.
Rewatched THE trilogy:

The first one gets a perfect 10, the 2nd one gets a 9 and third gets an 8. I feel the 2nd is a bit overrated and third is underrated despite Sofia Coppola's admittedly bad performance. On the other hand, the scenes with Fredo in 2 are just gutwrenching stuff. 1st part is of course untouchable. A proper classic.
Overall, it's a great crime saga and arguably the greatest trilogy ever. Coppola in peak form.
'Go Goa Gone' (2013)
Bollywood has never quite been the best at making horror films, due to which I would review it lightly and say that it was quite good.
The actors lost in that island however acted as if nothing is happening around them. I think they should have shown them react in a lot more fearful manner than they did. Their acting made it look very fake and normal.
The vulgarity in it annoyed me to no end. Needless bit of garbage that was!

what is that about ?Watched "Her" again. Such a beautiful story. Class movie.
The quite ones.. was a thriller of a horror movie.
Agree with your assesment of part I and II, whole heartedly disagree with part III being just a notch below them. The whole Michael Corleone seeking redemption and trying to get back with his wife part is badly botched up. Part III should never have been made, it ruined the whole story.
what is that about ?
Coppola intended I and II as a single film and III as an epilogue. It works fine as that. I agree Michael was way too warm after being the picture of coldness and stoicity. It has some great moments like the opera sequence and Eli Wallach (RIP)'s performance as the bumbling, senile Altobello who may not quite be what he seems. Vincenzo was not as well developed as Michael in Part I and so the ring-passing scene wasn't nearly as impactful. Plus, Tom Hagen was greatly missed.
However, the last 45 minutes are superb and the ending is very poignant. It's inferior to I and II but it's a good film in it's own right.
Its about a man falling in love with an Operating system. Topic may not sound too promising, but the way this story progresses is extremely engaging.
The Departed
9/10
An extremely fast-moving, wildly entertaining crime thriller by the legend Scorsese. Leo and Matt Damon give fabulous performances. Jack is Jack and Marky Mark shows he has some serious acting chops. Had seen it before but watching it again improved my opinion of it.
The kitchen fight is probably the best action sequence I have ever seen. It's 15 minutes of 'cannot-take-your-eyes-off-the-damn-screen' mayhem. It flopped in the US but then again, Americans think Transformers is a good action film.
Gunwoman
Japanese revenge story with lots of gore, skin and vomit. Nice watch if you like such stuff.
Watched "American Psycho" once again after a long time. There hasn't been a better picture made which depicts the 80's yuppie culture with such precision and clarity. A young Christian Bale plays the role of a 27 hear old rich and narcissistic Wall Street executive who's struggling to keep his mask of sanity. His existence mired by greed, hate, disgust and envy for everything around him. This movie is so morbid and cryptic with such dark humor and sarcasm it can easily be part of Kubrick's catalog. One of the best movies made about American greed and the superficial almost sterile nature of a corporate lifestyle. A hidden treasure that keeps on giving with every watch. Definitely in my ten best movies of all times list.
Ek Villain (2/10)
Story of a serial killer who kills other women whenever his wife scolds him. His victims are shown as annoying women who bring their own downfall. Didn't like the anti woman theme. There is no suspense, and the villain does not evoke any fear. Songs are forgettable. The actress is terminally ill and wants to finish a bucket list before her death, but she is so irritating that you quite enjoy her murder. And the cop is some rathod. Casteist bollywood cannot get over rajput names for cops. Overall a bad movie meant for low IQ people.
Vomit? Lol

I have no idea what I will write in this thread if I happen to like the film).
AgreeCricketCartoons' problem (Actually a million folks' problem) is they think there is a correlation between the taste in movies and the IQ of a person. Folks liking rap are idiots, folks liking Michael Bay's movies are morons, folks liking Stanley Kubrick's 2001:A Space Odyssey are the smartest, brightest folks ever (never mind that junkies like that flick too for obvious reasons).

[MENTION=131090]BeingFaridKhan[/MENTION] read it .
He gave it like 8 stars out of 10
Edit- Disagree on songs part.And keep rajputs out of it
I watched the film because I was free and there was a break in between Round of 16 and quarterfinals of the World Cup. It was a good movie, not very spectacular. A lot of my friends liked it and suggested it. The villain could not have been more inhumane, but Ritesh Deshmukh is not the actor to be given that role. The songs were very good, though.

Old Boy (2013)
Spike Lee's remake of the South Korean cult classic of the same name. Was skeptical of it being either a scene by scene copy or a totally different movie with an "American flavor". Turned out to be quite satisfying on its own though I still think the original is miles ahead of the remake in terms of originality, choreography, pacing and character building. Josh Brolin does a decent job of playing to protagonist, the ending almost seemed to be more fitting and the fight sequences were quite amazing and believable. All and all, a good time pass movie for fans of the original.
Has anyone watched Begotten? I watched bits of it on youtube- very weird & gory. Here is a description:
The opening scene symbolises "God Killing Himself" ( with the "Mother Of Earth" rising from his remains and then the 2nd scene represents "Son Of Earth" (Son of the mother of earth) being killed by nature.

Still putting into words what I feel about that movie.[MENTION=95766]leatherface58[/MENTION]
You're leaving me hanging with your "Fault in our Stars" review. I want to know if you actually liked it)
Saw "Bruno" two nights ago. Absolutely hilarious and disgusting

I wanted to give you a fitting reply, but today MIG quoted my post and agreed with it, so I am in a good mood. Letting you off.

House on Haunted Hill (1959)
7/10
Classy Vincent Price in a spooky, entertaining horror tale. Some campy overacting by Elisha Cook Jr. but still a very good horror film.
