We're forced to watch Home Alone every now and then, thanks to my son's craze for the movie.
That boy is now 30 !

Unthinkable.
Gripping, edge of the seat thriller. Highly recommended.
Roaring Twenties (1939). revisit.
Cagney and Bogart. Cagney and Bogart. :notworthy: :notworthy: Simple narration, fantastic dialogues, brilliant all-round performance. They don't make like this anymore. By the way, I noticed lots of similarities between Cagney's body language and Connery (when he is not doing OO7), and Cagney is Eastwood's favourite actor.

Valid point on spoilers. Let's refrain and give others a chance to enjoy the movie.

Got to do with the way Scorsese structures the movie I think.
Was very impressed with Ray Liotta as Henry hill while Joe Pesci's character reminded me a lot of his role in the Raging Bull.
Which will be reminded again when you watch Casino. Considering all are based on real life characters, it makes you wonder if Pesci is a good actor after all, and that best supporting actor Oscar?Quote:

Snaky: ...looks like we're shy one horse.
Harmonica: You brought two too many.
Harmonica: I saw three of these dusters a short time ago, they were waiting for a train. Inside the dusters, there were three men.
Cheyenne: So?
Harmonica: Inside the men, there were three bullets.
Cheyenne: That's a crazy story, Harmonica, for two reasons. One, nobody around these part's got the guts to wear those dusters except Cheyenne's men. Two, Cheyenne's men don't get killed.
Harmonica: Well, you know music, and you can count - all the way up to two.
[Cheyenne spins the magazine of his revolver]
Cheyenne: All the way up to six if I have to...
[gestures to Harmonica's wound]
Cheyenne: And maybe faster than you
W. - Josh Brolin is brilliant as William Bush. An Understated film and "effortless" acting from him. Gives a peek into earlier life of George Bush Junior.
Backdraft - Excellent setting augured with good special effects. Kurt Russell is very good. Very much watchable and hey you have Deniro in this.
The curious case of Benjamin Button - :clap:. Enjoyable fantasy drama. Pitt is underappreciated as an actor. Cate Blanchett is a darling. Loved the premise and hence the film. I loved the set piece in the film "And If only one thing had happened differently ". Amazing recreation of the periods and beautiful cinematography. Eagerly awaiting "the social network" from David Fincher.
Inglourious Basterds - Very well done. The stellar piece is still the rendezvous with Basterds in the Tavern at the french town of Nadine. Its amazing how all the actors "act" so well in QT's film.
A league of their own : Funny and enjoyable. It is 1943/44 and the American boys are in war which gives room for the girls baseball league. Penny Marshall's hit with Tom Hanks as drunk Jimmy Dugan who takes over as one of the girls team manager. Hanks is hilarious and Geena davis is fantastic as Dottie Hinson. Stillwell Angel scenes and "There's no crying in baseball" are the two most enjoyable scenes in the film.
Miss the days when Hanks was doing comedies. Watch Dragnet, really crazy Hanks.Quote:

Watched a couple of such movies back to back. ippo enakke enmela doubt vandhuduchu :?
The Killer Inside Me - Casey Affleck is a deputy at the Sheriff's office. He has some old grudges and uses a prostitute (Jessica Alba) as a pawn to get his vengence. But he hasn't committed the perfect crime and has to commit more and more crimes to cover it up.
Casey Affleck was very good as a sociopath and he might even get an Oscar nomination. The way he has portayed his mind deteriorating (or true self resurfacing) after beginning his relationship with the prositute is good. The movie contains explicit scenes and some very tough-to-watch scenes like face battering,etc.
The Killing Jar - In a small town roadside hotel, Michael Madsen gets mistaken for committing a crime (murdering a family) he apparently didn't. Enraged by this, he takes out a couple of people and takes the remaining people as hostages. As he knows that the killer is amongst them, he puts them in the hot chair and tortures them to get the truth.
Though they tried to maintain the suspense about the killer, it was pretty obvious from the beginning (suspect the most innocent logic :D). The ending was also largely predictable. Madsen gets a Madsen's role and he gets through without much effort. Apart from him, the movie is not really engaging.
Groucho, any comments on Road to Perdition? I am thinking of watching this movie for the last 2 months, but the thought of Tom Hanks as a hitman puts it at the back of the list :DQuote:

The young son is quite good too. Harmonious marriage of Conrad Hall's visuals and Thomas Newman's BGM on a solid story based on a slightly bleak (Spoiler: In the film, Michael Sullivan Sr succeeds in the end as Jr. doesn't turn out to be an 'accomplice' in such vengeful violence. Therefore, he dies peacefully - Hanks does well in this scene. Now orphaned, the son joins the old couple in the farm. His dad could rest in peace. While in the comic, Sr fails a bit with regards to son) flashy (that would translate to action filmmakers like Ringo Lam or John Woo on visual terms - On the contrary, Mendes conventional old-house style works) comic, that is resonant to Parker Series ("The Hunter" in particular) and "Lone Wolf and Cub" series. I'd recommend the film wholeheartedly.
For a few dollars more
loved the film..clint eastwood...wat style this man has got :smokesmirk: .along wid the other guy..dunno his name..he was simply superb as well...really love these cowboy movies :thumbsup:
Thanks for the recommendation kid-glove. Will watch it now and post my views tomorrow.
Piranha.
Positives = Kelly Brook's jalabulajanks.
Negatives = Everything else.
The original was brutal, but it was a 'silly fun' movie and probably was the best jaws ripoff at that time. I quite enjoyed the original one. This one.. :( awful.
Funny how, how the fcuk i am funny eh?. do i look like a clowm, do i amuse you??/

I have always thought that blood is thicker and hence I liked Newman's character that much more. At one level, Hanks' and Newman's characters are the same as they both have to protect their sons irrespective of their misdeeds (a smaller one in case of Michael Sullivan Jr.).
Tom Hanks has done a neat job of portraying the loyal hitman and the loving father (though he doesn't show his love explicitly). But I couldn't stop myself from imagining a 90s De Niro in that role. It is a tribute to the man that the distant and thorough gangster immediately evokes his memory. Jude Law and Daniel Craig aren’t bad either. But I would’ve loved to see more development of Craig’s character.
And I liked this ending better than the one from the comics kid-glove mentioned. Spoilers: Tom Hanks says that his son could make it to heaven in one of the scenes. So for him to die - after witnessing his son shooting Jude Law - with the fear that his son might follow in his footsteps would’ve been tragic. Hanks’ character succeeds in that count and the son too says that he never touched a gun after that.
Piranha
I shud've better stayed back home and watched Jaws. Why the hell did the director opt for 3D?
Revolutionary Road: Was it P_R who said this was one of the best films in recent times???????????
Sorry,I certainly did not feel so.Except stray moments when Di caprio did well as the frustrated husband,the film was boring.
Idha vere kan mulichi friday night paarthen.
Quantam Of Solace: Film starts where Casino Royale ended,on a high and keeps the adrenaline pumped up for the next 1 1/2 hours.Good watch for a sunday afternoon.
Watching Hot Shots - Part Deux in Star Movies! Hilarious parody!
:lol:. The film was ok to me.

actually you can watch and adore late 70's- early 80's horror movies (no matter how crap they are), just for the 'kick'..
Like i said in my earlier post, Ms Brook is the true savior of the movie.. She's just awesome.
Yep, I too prefer this to bleaker ending in comics.Quote:
