Brightburn (2019)
Interesting movie - worth the watch
The movie is well made and acted. Interesting story. The horror elements are good and keeps you entertained. The movie itself is not very logical although no flaws in story telling. There could have been more explanation on why there was so much evil in the character concerned.
I guess there may be a second part to this story.
Brimstone (2016)
Disturbing movie - not for weak hearted
This was a disturbing movie. It was gruesome and takes you to a real gloomy journey of a woman who tries to live a life but is not allowed to. It shows how misogynistic times have been. Dakota Fanning, Emily Jones and above all Guy Pearce has done some brilliant acting. This director is someone to watch out for and this was his first movie I watched but won't forget it for a long long time.
Insidious (2010)
The super duper horror movie
wow, this was the finest horror movie i have seen after evil dead. This is one of the greatest horror movies made.
Initially during the beginning of the movie everything looked the same just as any other horror movie I have seen but then this is a whole new concept in horror movies.
Watch it to believe it. The acting as well was good but I think the movie is made up of an innovative concept which is new in horror movies and which works !
I would give it a 8.
Those who love horror movies,please watch it.
Don McKay (2009)
Great Dark Comedy !
This movie had some wonderful comedy scenes. A dark comedy. I really had a great laugh.
The story line was okay and the acting of the main lead was just well controlled and done. The main hero is a great actor. His controlled dialogue delivery with a straight face was extraordinary and the situational comedy.
I would recommend people to watch it.
I loved the movie for sheer laughs.
I give it a 7.
Go and watch it.
Rann (2010)
Honest Review !!!!
This is a great movie ! I was hesitant to see this movie because of Ram Gopal Verma's recent flops due to which I thought he lost the knack on making a good movie.
This is definitely one of the best movies I saw. Those who are looking for a sensible and realistic movie to watch then this is it.
If you are looking for songs, dances and bollywood masala then you may not find it here. This movie is an eye opener and exposes the present mindset of news channels - news has become a sort of a drama (a sansanati khabar) to make money than really to provide news. No wonder all the media people have given this movie a bad review and rating. Do not go by such bad reviews and ratings.
I will give it a honest 8 !!
The Road (2009)
An honest review
This is a very over hyped movie. This movie is not a fresh idea. There have been several movies which have been made on similar lines e.g. 'I am legend' which was far better than this movie. Also doomsday, 28 days later etc.
I am not saying the movie is bad. The movie is watchable and good but I am saying there have been better movies and those who may have watched the movies which I mentioned above then they will agree that this movie is not better than those.
The movie is all about a journey. Some names such as charlize theron and other famous actors mentioned is misleading as they are just for a special appearance.
Adam Resurrected (2008)
Excellent performances and a thought provoking movie
This is a thought provoking movie. The acting of Jeff Goldblum is just outstanding. Willem Dafoe as usual is one great actor as well.
This is a serious movie and an introspection in self. It is not a war oriented movie but a sad story about a man who is so misunderstood by his family and the world. Is he really wrong ? you will undergo the journey in this man's shoes. Not a hero but a survivor who survived by being a dog, a gifted one who did all he can to survive... was it fear of losing his life that he obeyed his masters or is it a total surrender he adopted towards those who were committing atrocities. It is surrender of all self respect, dignity and ego as that of a perfect slave. Did Adam really regret what he did and why he did ? This movie does not judge the character but takes you on a journey, a journey of introspection of someone you never want to be but may admire.
Welcome to Sajjanpur (2008)
Good Comedy !
This was a nice surprise. I saw it because of Shyam Benegal's direction. The movie is well made, good jokes and comedy.
The story line was good, acting by everyone was commendable. Shreyas will turn up to be the best in sometime. His comedy and timing was so realistic.
The script and screenplay was just too good i feel.
Shyam Benegal should come up with more such themes. He has a good knack for comedy.
I would recommend it. Watch it for a good laugh.
I would rate it 7.
Insanitarium (2008)
Bad Direction and not interesting
Movie is bad, the direction was poor, the plot was uninteresting.
Initially it seems those who turn to zombie like are slow moving and by end they seem to turn fast.
The movie is a copy of other many projects like 28 days later etc but was poorly made. It gets real boring and unwatchable after sometime. Those who don't watch much of horror movies might find it okay but the usual horror buffs wont like this sort of crap.
Overall the acting was just okay, nothing more than that.
The movie is over hyped. A disappointment.
I wont recommend it, don't watch.
I would give it a generous 3.
Big Stan (2007)
Good one from Rob !!
I can say i am Rob Schn....'s fan. I liked this movie, its interesting, doesn't sound or look silly as most of the Adam Sandler's movies does.
Its quite a entertaining movie and Rob should really come up with more number of movies under his direction. Keeping in mind its his first effort still he did a wonderful job.
Acting is good by all, good number of laughs.
Its not an hilarious comedy like hot chick or animal or deuce bigalo but i would say this is good time pass and worth a watch.
I would recommend you to watch it for Rob Schneider.
I would give it a sincere 7.
The Babysitter (2008)
Innovative concept
The good thing about this movie is its innovative. New line of story and interesting.
Acting is reasonable, there could have been more background about the leading lady.
Above all i think its worth a watch, bit difficult to digest i suppose for many but altogether a good one without much of morality dialogues.
I would give it a 6.
Bheja Fry (2007)
Great Fun !!
Wow is the word. This is a great movie, a superb comedy. Probably the likes of Priyadarshan would learn a lesson or two on how to make a simple but brilliant comedy without a big effort and costume drama.
I was travelling to India and watched this movie in the flight and was laughing so heavily that i feared at times that the air hostess would probably ask me to shut up.
These sort of movies comes once in a while. Excellent acting by everyone. Most of the laughs come from Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey had a small role but he gave the ultimate laughs as well, i suppose its the timing. These guys are natural actors and would really do a world class job for any movie.
I hope the Director comes up with more such projects.
Watch it !!!
They Wait (2007)
A reasonably good movie ...
I read some mixed reviews before watching it..it takes a bit more to please me as an horror movie buff. I felt the story line was innovative, movie had good number of scares without much of blood around.
The main lead was good but probably some nudity would have added more flavour to the movie. Good effort overall. Probably there could have been more gore and blood in the movie to keep all the horror fans happy.
It was not as scary as Grudge or Ring but it was still reasonably good absolutely not a time waster. Its definitely worth a watch.
I would give it a 6.
Nightmare Man (2006)
Good Stuff !!
If you are looking for good number of scares and a somewhat new concept - go for it. This movie is worth a watch.
I think this movie is one of the best from the horrorfest in terms of some good thrills and scares.
I particularly liked the beautiful Blythe Metz. I suppose this movie got her a big break what she might have been looking for, hope to watch more of her...
The other actors were fine...
I would rate the movie as follows; Scares - 7 Gore - 5 Acting - 5 Nudity - 6 Innovative Concept - 8 Overall - 7
The Director did a reasonably good job.
Go watch it !
Botched (2007)
Great Comedy !!
This movie was a pleasant surprise ! Jamie Forman as Peter was excellent, he gave some real great laughs. I think Jamie has a real nick for comedy and he should do more of it.
It was a well acted and was a nice black comedy. The actors were all very convincing with their accents. I never knew they were Hollywood actors and in fact took them to be Russian actors. Till i saw their profiles on IMDb.
Please do not believe those bad reviews and watch this movie. I am sure you would enjoy it.
Hopefully we would get more projects like this from the Director.
Great Effort! Thanks for this fabulous movie.
I will give it a conservative 7.
Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead (2006)
Good effort but bit too much ..
The movie started well but ended up with too much of non sense and forced comedy. Comparatively other movies like Braindead and Shawn of the dead were miles ahead.
It would help to have some laughs but can get on nerves after sometime. Too many songs and less of story line scored the movie down. Don't go by those over exaggerated reviews...
If you are desperate to watch a movie to have few laughs then it might do well for sometime. But i was not happy with how the movie was carried further.
The acting was reasonable.
I will give it a 5.
i would recommend black comedies like botched rather.
