Sherlock Holmes, finally! The Ritchie wit, Rob Downey Jr-Jude Law combo, n my fav baritone in hollywood for sometime (mark strong) made this a repeat watch candidate for me! not surprised that the film didn't work for many tho.
hope DDL signs up for part 2.

:evil: mr. puliyan biriyani this three much, ungala kaiyila kedachaa kaimaa panniduven :D ! it's one of my favorite films ya, it deserves indulgence, not yawn i say! and mr. pitt, for once displayed amazing restraint, got the character graph (the changing circumstances around jesse james through the film) perfectly right! yes, casey affleck was the standout perfo, but to me, this is one of brad pitt's best, if not the best yet! don't know whether it got a nomination or not, but definitely deserved a nomination! give it a second watch! i know it moves at its own pace (and hence ur 'yawn' maybe!) but i caught it on hbo on a lazy saturday night 11:15 pm show and to my own surprise was engaged and watched it fully, and made me own a dvd of the film! cinematography is the other major highlight of the film...Quote:

The Assassination of Jesse James is a very well made film IMO, it is slow I agree but it's like "Zodiac" of "Public Enemies" you know what the end is, but nonetheless it's captivating to see such heralded figures as just humans. it's worth a watch. Casey is amazing but Brad Pitt is just as good.
CC of BB I also enjoyed...it's pace was slow too and plot far fetched but that Brad got easier on the eyes as the movie went along certainly helped! :lol: :P
What's wrong with gunning for an Oscar? As long as it results in a remarkable movie then I don't mind...but then again "Jerry Maquire" got an oscar too... :roll: :roll:
the major difference could be brad pitt pesunadhu onnume purila ..Quote:

Bounty Hunter watchable..
a clichéd Hollywood drama!
Ghost Writer - Roman Polaski at work! :notworthy: Great material from the ever-dependable Robert Harris..deserves a second viewing!
The Expendables - very much a late 80s b-grade action flick(and that means gud news for someone like me who hates todays' rope trick dominated fights, this is pure bang bang!). Jason Statham is cool as usual. The saddest n intolerable(s) part of the movie was watching Mickey Rourke being reduced to what he was, sitting there all the time and made to utter some of the poorly written dialogues ever that made no sense in the film!
Alice in wonderland (2010) :clap: nice movie.. sinna pillaila padichathu.. :P
