Last 50 Movies

Number : 662 :::: Movie Name : Lucky Number Slevin :::: Rank : 2 DT

Quick Comment : A pretty decent movie, holds a suspense. Story not like worthy mention but treatment is very good.

Number : 661 :::: Movie Name : Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels :::: Rank : 2 C

Quick Comment : This is one of those "Different Movies", directed by Guy Ritchie, same person who directed Snatch, both these movies have that very interesting Dialogues deliveries. Both the movies are basically comedy of errors. For Indians "Hera Pheri II" is a crooked version of this movie.

Number : 660 :::: Movie Name : Ladder 49 :::: Rank : 2 S

Quick Comment : Movie about fire fighters, not bad to watch. Another movie "Back Draft" based on the same theme directed by Ron Howard is a wee bit better.

Number : 659 :::: Movie Name : Blade Trinity :::: Rank : 3 S

Quick Comment : Blade one was still ok to watch. All the sequels are tad boring. Quite repetitive.

Number : 658 :::: Movie Name : United 93 :::: Rank : 1 TD

Quick Comment : Now this is what I call "The Movie". It captures the events of United Flight 93 the 4th plane which was hijacked on 9/11 and was crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania when onboard passengers foiled the terrorist plot. No movie can be as close to reality as this one is. It captures the terror and plot so damn realistically that you feel you are a part of the plot itself. Splendidly crafted. Absolutely amazing. Directed by "Paul Greengrass" who also gave us Borne Supremacy.

Number : 657 :::: Movie Name : V for Vendetta :::: Rank : 2 TD

Quick Comment : V for Vendetta had Wachoski brothers as the script writers so we had to expect something and I can easily say both the script and direction was pretty tight. One might expect blazing action kinda stuff but what this movie actually offers is pure thriller, investigation and intriguing atmosphere with dark satire on the govt.

Number : 656 :::: Movie Name : 2010 (Sequel to 2001 : A space Odyssey) :::: Rank : 3 F

Quick Comment : 2010 in direct comparison with 2001 seems to be more appreciable, in the sense that 2001 leaves everything totally unexplained and 2010 throws a light on what was quite perplexing in 2001, but I will give it an OK if otherwise compared as a standalone movie.

Number : 655 :::: Movie Name : Shawn of the Dead :::: Rank : 3 HD

Quick Comment : Despite of the hype around being the best zombie comedy movie, I didn't find it that amusing, then again my personal opinion. It had some pretty funny moments though.

Number : 654 :::: Movie Name : Red Eye :::: Rank : 2 T

Quick Comment : After giving some not so worthy horror flicks "Wes Caravan" brings this movie out of no where. Very well crafted thriller, climax could have been a wee bit better, otherwise pretty decent.

Number : 653 :::: Movie Name : Flight Plan :::: Rank : 3 T

Quick Comment : Flight Plan starts and builds up very nicely but ends up disappointing. It has the same typical thriller formula of throwing false and suspicious characters at the beginning so as to keep the audience guessing which for me makes the movie "Just another One" The only thing that pulls the story and the audience is Jody's Foster's performance.

Number : 652 :::: Movie Name : Old Boy :::: Rank : 3 Dr

Quick Comment : This was my first experience in a Japanese movie. I would say I was not disappointed. This movie has got a very unconventional story. Its about a man how digs out the reason why he was locked for 14 years and he has no idea by whom. Definitely a once worth movie. Again for Indians "Zinda" is a crooked version of this movie.

Number : 651 :::: Movie Name : Battle Royal :::: Rank : 2 T

Quick Comment : Now immediately after OldBoy I wanted to go for another Japanese move to explore more in to their cinema. I chose Battle Royal. Again a pretty unconventional story line. A bit unbelievable too. Its about 42 ninth grade students who have to fight for survival on a deserted island under strict surveillance and rules of their teacher. The movie I must say has a very gripping screenplay, emotions are well portrayed and tension is decently maintained. I would also like to say that its a pretty violent movie with blood and gore shown explicitly. In the end a well directed one.

Number : 650 :::: Movie Name : Life of David Gale :::: Rank : 2 T

Quick Comment : This movie purely depends on its plot, how much you enjoy this movie would entirely depend how better you understood the plot and the message. Its about a person David Gale (Kevin Spacey), who has dedicated his life as a campaigner against the death penalty against the Govt. Ironically he finds himself on death row after being found guilty of the rape and murder of his own fellow anti-execution campaigner and invites a reporter (Kate Winslet) to review his story in his last three days. A beautiful movie.

Last 50 Movies continued......

Number : 649 :::: Movie Name : Dead Alive :::: Rank : 3 CH

Quick Comment : A hell of a hilarious movie. I would not be surprised if it was made to be that way, a low profile cheeky horror comedy flick. You would enjoy this movie with couple of your friends. Its directed by Peter Jackson from "Loard of the rings" and "King Kong" fame

Number : 648 :::: Movie Name : Mission Impossible III :::: Rank : 3 S

Quick Comment : Nothing exceptional to offer, though I would say a bit better than MI-II but nothing spectacular to write about. Typical action movie with another mission to perform.
