Sterling movie with masterly performance.
1 April 2014
In Short- 'Ain't nothing out there that can kill Ron Woodroof in 30 days'.

Who would have thought that Matthew McConaughey will win an Oscar for the best actor? Then you watch Dallas Buyers Club and you realize the benchmark he has set for other actors. And then we get to watch his small role in 'The Wolf of Wall Street' and the very dark and thrilling 'True Detective (TV Series)'. Watching him from his 'A Time to Kill' days, he has really grown as an actor and outdone himself many a times throughout his career. He surely deserved an Oscar. Nobody could have justified the role of Ron Woodroof more than him.

Not mentioning Jared Leto's performance will be a failure as a reviewer and a misdemeanor as a avid movie goer. He aced the character of a trans-gender woman who is dying of AIDS( a role which must have been very tough to play but he made it look a piece of cake ).

The shades of gray that have been written into the script make the characters seem more real. AIDS connect them and puts them in the final journey of self-discovery. The film very aptly depicts the stigma attached to AIDS. And also delineates the die hard human spirit and the dignified portrayal of survival against astounding odds.

Finally, the Direction is brilliant. Generally, 'Based on true story' tag has been used extensively and hence, has worn out the attention of the viewers. So, nowadays it is more challenging to use this tag and to keep it at that, but Jean-Marc Vallée simply aced it. This film will definitely boost up the spirit of many patients, give them hope and make them strong. A must watch.

Welcome to The Dallas Buyers Club.

Ragini MMS 2 (2014)
2/10
Horrex.
28 March 2014
I voted just two stars, just for Sunny Leone who happens to be the best thing about this movie. This is a horrex movie about shooting a horrex movie. Actually it is not a movie at all. It is just selling Sunny Leone in Indian market.

You can look at the main actors of the movie and can say right about then that they have never acted in their life before apart from Divya Dutta( I don't know why she chose to do this movie).

As many of us already know, Bollywood just copies Hollywood movies(almost all) scene-to-scene, and take credit for it and does award functions and share awards with each other( for best direction, scriptwriter and cinematographer etc. Can you believe this audacity?) and make real good money by doing it. You can just imagine about this mentality. And, even after that they somehow screw the movie. They can't even copy a Hollywood movie properly.

So, basically you know this "movie" will suck and if you choose to pay and watch it you are surely going in for Sunny Leone.(Yes, why watch her naked for free when you can pay to watch her in clothes? Right?)

I just took some time out to slam this movie because I love cinema and hate rich people who want to screw it. I really want Hindi cinema to improve and so I am helping in my own small way by writing this review on IMDb to discourage such waste of money and the initiative of many directors in Hindi cinema who want the audience to look someplace else for real entertainment.

Thank you.

Salmon fishing is a well-made romantic movie.
30 July 2012
Emily Blunt is always good as a job oriented lady falling in love. And I really like her, she is so beautiful. And Ewan McGregor never went wrong with his characters.

And I am sure many viewers will get to know about this beautiful Arab country Yemen. The views of this country gives the film a charming element along with the gentleness which intensifies a Romantic movie.

The theme and the concept is totally new. It is always great to see a near impossible thought of a person turn into reality. And the name Lasse Hallström is enough to tell us how romantic a movie can get. I enjoyed the movie and really connected with the proximity of the characters. The best part of the movie is the romantic pair is not shouting about their love on the rooftop but as the film progresses they find out they are actually in love.

Watch This Amigo!
20 July 2012
Tight script. Clever story. Bold and rough characters. Genuine acting. 96 minutes of total entertainment. This is the kind of movie that lifts the mood up and always keeps us guessing "what's next?".

This is the kind of movie Mel Gibson is best at and he should have always done this kind of movies. This movie will definitely gather him younger fans throughout the world. It is a new blend of action,crime and drama.

Adrian Grunberg is the kind of director who can stylize the crimes in his movies. He shows us there are more colors in crime-action movies other than red.

If you want to have a good time and have been missing crime oriented fast action movies for a while, this is the movie you are looking for. 7 out of 10.

Bottom line: Not to be missed.

Unforgiven (1992)
9/10
If u don't watch this movie then u are- UNFORGIVEN
9 March 2012
Unforgiven is a kind of movie that is building up till the last five minutes. The present condition of will munny contradicts to the talked about past of him which is considered a fabrication by most of them in the movie except a few who has really known him.And even us sometimes. As you can never accept those stories of will's past life because it seems quite impossible for a man to do and yet become something like that how he appears. He never talks about his bravery nor confirms his acts of courageousness. He is not sure of what he has done. Yet when he is really challenged he shows them what devil of death he is. This kind of story puts you on hold till the last five minutes and as those minutes starts and what you get to see as climax your mind keeps saying awesome every second of it. I am really out of my words to praise for this movie and the kind of act everybody has put on. The film says the person who praises himself to be great is not great but the person who is praised by people is actually great. This is a must watch movie for everybody. I don't think there is or would be any movie like it.

Clint Eastwood is always excellent in doing this kinda of underdog roles where he is always under estimated. I will happily give this movie 10/10 and more if anyway possible. A must watch. And when you have seen this want to see more of Clint Eastwood go watch Gran Torino. He never lets us down.
