Dexter - Season 1 Good stuff. This dude Michael C hall, never heard of em before but he is good. He always looks like he is hiding something as his character does in the series. I like the way he calls his foster father by his name harry and not dad. And this whole sister/foster brother rivalry kinship both professional and personal, Suweeeetttt :clap:. . That's too good. Her sister deb eh, she does well too.I liked her transformation in this series where she started by asking ideas from Dexter to move from vice to homicide and she grows to form profiles on her own and stuff)
Started watching yesterday night and knocked off 8-9 episodes in a stretch, 50-55 mins each. Will try to watch season 2 and 3 over the weekend.
Oh yeah the angle between him and his girlfriend who is pretty sweet by the way. Nice touch.
Judy Greer(who came in as the female version of charlie harper in 5th season) comes in as Kutcher's ex-wife/gf it seems. Laydest update.

Now I just felt the pain of Jeffrey Wigand character.. very well written and well portrayed..
Dazzling performance from Russell. one of his best..
Pacino.. what an attitude.. excellent..
Amazing film with excellent characterization.. Must watch...
Dexter (season 3) - Liked this better than season 2. I like how Dexter uncovers secrets about his father and slowly notches down some levels of respect admiration towards his foster dad. The surreal moments between him and his dad during key moments of the season are good.

Gosh I love red heads especially with curly hair. CBS's brand new sitcom starting this fall - 2 Broke Girls. Saw a preview clip the other day. Not bad, I mean the clip.

Hide and Seek
Enjoyed it for the climax twist and few occasional chills.
I was thinking of you only when I was writing abt Dexter here. 5 episodes into season 4 now.
P.S: I love how Dexter says something opposite to what he is thinking. I should master that. :noteeth:

And Astor and Cody returning back to dexter for summer and harrison's growth should provide enough material for season 6. Saw an other promo for season 6 which shows Dexter as Angel Saint Michael(my fav), Attagasam. Season 6 trailer is terror. Heavily expecting.

Hi,
My friend and his ardent movie fan friends doing a survey to find the best American movie, based on the AFI ratings (07 version). I thought hub will have lot of takers for this as I ve seen some very good movie buffs here . Your vote and suggestions will help them to come up with a new revised list or may be Indians favorite 100 world movies ! :-D
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFI%27s...ersary_Edition)
they have scheduled it like a knockout tournament (US Open tennis effect ), to give each movie a fair trial... There are 36 matches in the first round . Already its in the fourth round (Sorry for the late notice) . Below is some titbits how the tournament is run .
Survey Site : http://sonix768.challonge.com/afi07_sngl
As you may have seen in the survey site, the survey is to find the best movie from AFI top 100 movies (2007 edition).
Movies compete agst each other based on their seedings. The seeding is based on the ranking given in the AFI list. Since there are 100 movies and for a knock out we need a 2^n teams, the top 25 odd movies got bye to the second round directly.
From second round we will have 64 teams and from there the top team will face a 64th team. (Citizen Kane vs Network). Just like a tennis grandslams. he used a online bracket generator to generate a knockout scheule based on the seedings..
You can visit here for the entire fixture : http://sonix768.challonge.com/afi07_sngl
You can see the seeding of the movies in the left side of their names. So, the matches were not decided by me but by a online tournament generator. If you can see the fixture, you can find the matchups are perfect.
For Voting :
Fourth round matches : http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NBM5PR5
** PLEASE VOTE ONLY IF YOU HAVE SEEN BOTH THE MOVIES IN A MATCH. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN ANY ONE OF THE MOVIE IN A MATCH PLEASE SKIP THE MATCH **
Thanks a Lot for your time Hubbers :)
These are the muvies competing in the fourth round !!
R4 Match #1: (1) Citizen Kane vs. (48) Rear Window
R4 Match #2: (9) Vertigo vs. (72) The Shawshank Redemption

never seen such a bizarre film...kick Ass stuff...Brad Pitt :clap:..
Just went for "contagion" this morning in escape. Pretty good effort from Steven Soderbergh who's come out of his comfort zone.While the movie has its share of failings it surely keeps the viewer engrossed till the end. Watch out for Jude law and Matt Damon. Both are excellent.
Pangaali.. don't tell me it is that movie where they kill people inside a lift. Saniyan maadhiri irundhuchu :mad: Released last year IIRC?Quote:

Haven't watch Sidney Lumet stuff except 12 Angry Men. Very intersting way of film-making. The dialogues were bloody brilliant. Three nominees for Best acting off the same movie, must give an idea of the level of performances. Holds very good for the kind of media we now have in India.

Yes he does specialize in hyperlink cinema. But this had a docu-drama feel to it which still manged to hold the viewers attention.According to me it could easily have turned out to be a roland emmerician apocalypse movie, but manages to break the stereotypes and delivers the movie on a more personal front.Quote:

Brad Pitt's Moneyball coming next week.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moneyball_(film)
kid, watched this?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Valentine_%28film%29
Yep. I have. I think I've expressed my reservations here (or maybe in twitter?)
Blue Valentine was famous for something..
Whole of that year (2010) was famous for it.
Blue Valentine
Greenberg
Black Swan
The American
Uncle Boonmee
Carlos
The Kids are Alright
Somewhere
(!!)
Wendy and Lucy. oru dhabA pAkkalAm, poRumai irundhA, for Michelle.
Contagion
Finally a disaster movie that's quite gripping and watch worthy. Watchout for the high profile ensemble too.
