The Usual Suspects(TUS) copied scene to scene *** (3)
but i liked it for the reason that to some extent i appreciated Chocolate’s concept of using a lawyer more than one room concept of TUS. It showed how they used the best lawyer to escape by creating runtime stories. But nowhere comparable to TUS, but good enough from a bollywood POV.
great movie ***” (3.5)
a movie about a real nice guy, whom i though a psycho all through the movie. Actually the director susccessfully installed into my mind what he wanted to. I was thinking him to be a psycho till i saw the last scene(the pic). The movie moves very slowly.. but kept me on the seat by creating a strange environment. But the end tells you that you saw a really nice movie all along. Just analyze the last few moves the actor played to make sure that everything goes perfectly well. [ If i’m not thinking more than the director did.]
“pictures have anything important to say to future generations is this - i was here, i existed, i was young, i was happy and someone cared enough about me in this world to take my picture“
Long time no movies.. so spared some time on the weekend. As my friend Paresh points out that there is Dearth of movies in campus. I too felt it while looking for movies… and compromised for the following -
Movie :: Transporter 2 ***
Unbelieveable stunts.
Movie :: Layer Cake **
Something around Drug business. I was sleeping.
“the art of a good businessman is being a good middleman”

Movie :: Final Fantasy 7 ****
State of art of graphics animations. Fundoo graphics.

Paheli is india’s entry for the 2006 Oscars. link
wtf.. of all movies Paheli.. that too when Black is there..
i havent seen paheli.. i didnt consider it worth watching.. it might be good but it cant be anywhere near Black, I am sure. I just cant understand what makes them select Paheli. Why Paheli was hyped too much even before release.
I am disturbed, hurt, senti, sad, broken… I will probably watch Paheli and then then write more.
Ask Amitabh or Rani who have worked in both, or SRK or Amol Palekar.. they all will probably say Black.. Black is a masterpiece.
I cant take this.
I OBJECT. Anyone willing to join me ??
