Your Critique

This is one is similar to the 'What are you currently ? threads

Just tell us what you've seen recently and your short reviews.

My most recent is Transformers 2.
The movie is basically: Action. Megan Fox. Action. Action. Joke. Megan Fox. Action. Action. Joke. Joke. Action. End.

[sarcasm] Can't wait for Transformers 3 [/sarcasm]

harry potter 6. went 1st day 1st show. best part of the movie- all 12th passouts like me were there. so it was like- look into the screen to emma watson, drool. look at your left, drool. to your right, drool. wipe your mouth. repeat.
about the movie, the less said, the better. waste of money. total waste(okay, i spent hardly 70 but then money doesn't grow on trees, does it?) anyone starting a RADCLIFFE SUCKS thread here? please?

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.

I made another thread on it. So im not talking about it here. If you wanna curse or praise Harry Potter more, make another thread on it.

Watched Harry Potter. The movie is nice. The performance's are well delivered. The actors are slowly improving, even Grint. Jim Broadbent is delightful and Alan Rickman is amazing as always. If you're a book-crazy person you might get upset that some parts (or most) are screwed up. But treat the film as an independent, and you'll see its pretty good. Provides a good mix of humour and seriousness. I hope David Yates keeps it up. Also, it doesn't over-do the special effects, like most films these days do. In short, I think this is the best HP movie yet.

(Note: I can rant about the film as well, but omkar there already has, so I'm presenting only the good points )

Pineapple Express decently funny, the guys (friends) just exaggerated cause its about weed and drug dealers

thas good

watched vantage point recently. extremely pacy, gritty, and forget-your-popcorn kind of thriller this movie is with steller performances by relatively unknown cast. absolutely fabulous.

the casting is actually really good

but personally i think vantage point could have been better!
maybe it coz i saw it rite after seeing departed

Relatively unknown?!?!? Well I guess the youngsters have not heard of Dennis Quaid and Forrest Whitaker... but yeah.. it was a good movie...

Inglorious Bastards was my latest watch... Hardcore action from the get go. Very... err... unexpected or unconventional (??) ending... pretty gruesome though... Only meant for Tarantino veterans... Landa was my favorite... and I loved it when Pitts character was fumbling with his Italian in the theater scene... 'Correcto' LoL!

well saw gi joe today
starring a relatively ok cast
[including dennis quaid,brendon frasers and many others whose name i dont remember and too lazy to search for] got some good graphics and nice star dust heroin stuff!

but apart from snake eyes the movie wasnt much a show

u havent seen species?

Whitaker did not have as big a role in Species... which I didnt particularly enjoy anyway...

Ones I am looking to watch....

Gamer...
Law Abiding Citizen...

Coincidentally both are Gerard Butler star-ers... and you know what that means... gratuitous violence all round... and then some... but both also seem to have an interesting concept... and Gamer seems to include Michael Hall in the cast too... he is a guy I think has the potential to be big... but I could be wrong...

Then theres...

Informant (Matt Damon)
Extract (From the makers of Office Space)

There was another... a De Caprio star-er... Dammit I forget... but that promises to be good too...

well
theres
shutter island - scorcese
and
inception- nolan
both
are promising

Shutter Island... that was the one... has DeCaprio as the lead...

well both the above movies hav de caprio as the lead

i know i might be among the most-hunted-ass-to-kick-on after what i am gonna say about the recent supposedly cult movie i saw but i really don't care.
i am gonna talk about GODFATHER.
honestly speaking, i didn't like it. i watched it in a span of 7 days, that is, i saw second half a week later. its not because of time constraints but lack of inclination.
i fail to see what is so 'kuul' about it. dialogs? nah. maybe they are lost in translation. background music? there's hardly any, except for the same old eerie one played again and again, by which people swear by. technical finesse? you can't really talk about it. the movie's more than 2 decade old. performances? really? mike is poker faced most of the time and no, it doesn't look intimidating( it suited abhishek bachchan in SARKAR). godfather is pretty decent though. others merely fit the bill. nothing outstanding about them.
but what's the thing that turned me off about the movie is the extremely gruesome sickening violence. i am not against violence, in fact, i love it when, mind you, WHEN tastefully portrayed. this was raw. and again, there's a technique in which you can show rawness in a refined way(i don't mean stylizing it) but that doesn't happen here.
disappointing indeed.

Well I havn't seen Godfather yet, but I've seen Sholay, and I didn't like it very much.. its an okay movie.. not bad..

Sholay was just okay, yeah. But for it's time it was really good.

Last movie I saw was The Hangover. And that one ROCKED. HARD.

After which I more recently saw 'Death at a Funeral' (which released as a hindi rip off last week called 'Daddy Cool')

Ohhh man, It was so hilarious, I don't know what to say. British humour FTW.

Fight Club!
must watch!

Gah... 'OK' for Sholay and 'disappointing' to Godfather!! What is the world coming to?!

Godfather despite its cult status is not meant for everyone... which is why I can understand what you have said omkar...

Sholay is... again... I see why people may call it okay... but the individual performances were pretty darn good... didnt care much for Dharmendra though... and the film is like what... more than 30 yrs old? So try not to take off points for technical stuff and over the top stunts... and say what you like... the humor is a lot better than what you will find in pretty much any other movie today...

Dang... which thread is this anyway? Wait... arent we in completely the wrong section to talk about Sholay? Eff that... I already typed it in...

Hollywood... Omkar... try Road to Predition... you might like it... its a decent movie... then there is 'The Untouchables' again... pretty good... these are set in and around the Prohibition era I believe.... one of the other ones I liked was Training Day... more modern... and you cant not have seen The Departed... all mobster(ish) movies...
