Creative Movies of all Times

Yeah well, I still don't see how a day or two of postponment is gonna appease that select few! Let's hope that this does not drag out further!... [The Govt is now supposedly doing a special screening to decide the fate....which means it might push back, delay the opening of the movie all over India. They are even trying to figure out if it should be given an adult rating(!?!)]
Ah well, I plan to catch it here as soon as possible!
I too am looking forward to the depiction of all the cool locations and historic sites!

Here is a picture from the movie..............
 
Da Vinci Code

The movie is out in Oz today and I can't wait to go and watch it. I read the book and could not put it down until I finished it. I usually don't finish a book in one sitting but this book is an exception and hence I have great expectations from the moive. The trailers that I have seen on the internet seems true to the book which is a good sign even if the critics in Cannes have given the movie a thumbs down (apparently too long - 148 mins running time).

Oh and then there is Xmen 3 coming out next week.:)
 
Fun with Dick and Jane

Hey guys, good to see the thread still winding, saw 'fun with dick and jane' on the plane and found it hilarious. Its about a couple who have 'perfectly settled' american lives complete with hispanic maid and stuff and then the guy loses his padded job. The couples turns to small thefts to go by....and the ending is great (dont miss the special thanks at the end).....its also a take on corporate scandals......loved it...
 
you know what, i'm finding this thread really useful....going to see da vinci code in the evening, thanks for the info. and details guys...have read the book halfway through, so would be good to watch the movie and not go through the trouble of reading the second half.......will write my review soon...

Went to see Da Vinci Code last night and lemme tell you, I found it was interesting and gripping. I haven't read the book but my friends who have tell me that the details are exactly to the very minute (for instance the watch tom hanks wears is like the one described in the book). Another striking thing about the movie is its length, its almot 2.15 hrs approx. which s kinda long for an english movie. I read somewhere that the original screenplay was 12 hrs long(phew!).
Coming back to its content, the only thing I like about this movie was that every theory and everything in it is plausible/believable/possible, atleast for a layman, unlike MI/James Bond stuff. It also makes us think about some rudimentary things which we take for granted and which have gone down generations as being true.
All in all a nice movie and nice value for you money.

Banaras

A nice movie after a long time about relationship, god, his creations, mystic men, evolution, forgiveness, love, orthodox caste system etc....nice
 
Saw two really good war movies this weekend!
Both have been around for some time: 'The Battle of Britain' and 'Full Metal Jacket'....

While the first one is a classic and really portrays well the war planes battling it out in dog fights over the skyies of Britain (Germany supposedly had their back broken after being beaten by the Englanders in the air, even after 4 to 1 odds of more planes and pilots! Hitler was over confident with his over touted Luftwaffe....and kinda learnt the lesson that the dogmatic Britishers would never give up, the hard way!)....

Now the second one (Full metal...) is more graphic and well....crude language and all! This one is mostly about what kind of intense training goes in to make killier/battle machines like the marines and eventually about the horrors of the Vietnam war.........Really something too!

Both are awesome movies if you are a battle/war movie buff!

" unambiguously the legendry " DHARMENDER " is the smartest ever jat on screen,his persona, his comic timing , his energy and zeal is unmacthed.
To me "Dharamender" is GOD.

n givin PAM ANDERSON a run 4 her money too:eek:
BAYWATCH is better:D
talkin on top f her shrilling voice frm d beginning till d end- uffuff wot an awful movie:(
 
I forgot to mention these ones before, but the tilogy made by Satyajit Ray (Pather Panchali, Aparajito and Apur Sansar) are very good movies and an education about Indian life. All three movies are the life story of one man "Apu" from his birth to his adulthood and a lot happens during this while.

Coming to Smita Patil, it is sad that she died so soon. I have always enjoyed her movies especially the ones made by Shyam Benegal. "Mirch Masala" isnt one of them but it is also a very nice movie. I also remember watching one movie called "Mandi" which was a very good movie that ventures into the evolution of prostitution, as in what major role prostitution plays in Indian or any society and how it gets evolved.
