Thiru...yeah it's an awesome movie....
really makes you think - very twisted story..i watched it second time to really understand and then talked to my friends about it too...
Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet were perfect....
Jim Carrey has never done a character like this before. Totally unlike him :)Quote:

The end product -totally mesmerizing . A very good romantic movie. i give it a 9 out of 10.
:thumbsup:
Watched "Boys Town" last week - Spencer Tracy won an Oscar for his role as the priest who starts a home for orphaned boys. Really good film - the climax is a trifle overdone, but otherwise a nice film to watch.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Jim Carrey was even nominated for an Oscar for this performance. Hmm ... So much for recognition!Quote:

Just watched Good Bye and Good Luck this weekend. Please watch this movie if you get a chance.There are no twists and turns in this movie..but the way its made and the acting makes this movie simply superb.Also the dialogues are awesome and brings alive 1950s America.Didnt think George Clooney had it in him.Hats off!! :thumbsup:
i agree with you...i thought he acted very well in Eternal Sunshine too...very creative...Quote:

It's good that he's being taken seriously now ...Quote:

An article in 'Guardian' on Clooney's political leanings said, 'for the first time Clooney is talked about for something other than the women in his life'. In fact, he made the film to advance his views on liberalism and the threat of the 'Big Brother' attitude of the Republican government. 'Good Night, and Good Luck' is indeed a pleasant surprise from Clooney.Quote:

Flight Plan with Jodie Foster was also disappointing..
Yet to see Firewall (Harrison Ford) and GNGL.
Watched 'Signs' the other day ...that was good tho' the ending was a bit 'hung'.....perhaps the director was thinking of Signs part 2?
44 Minutes (based on the 1997 North Hollywood shootout)
Unmai(dubbed from Malayalam(The Truth), whodunnit thriller)
Goodfellas(pretty well known 90s hit mafia movie)
Der Untergang(controversial German movie, sympathising on Hitler - based on his last secretary and one more officer's biography)
I watched 'Inside Man,' starring Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, and Jodie Foster. I'd say, one of the coolest movies of this year so far..
-awesome story...very well done...
-great hint of humour throughout...especially Denzel's part... 8-)
-Denzel Washington is as cool as ever, Clive Owen simply rocks and Jodie Foster is great...
-and something interesting....the intro scene played SRK's 'Dil Se' movie song (one where he's dancing on top of the train - 'Thaiya Thaiya'...)...i thought that was nice and was surprised when i heard it...:lol:
The movie is about a man (Clive Owen) who plans a brilliant robbery (or so-called) and Denzel Washington plays the detective/cop.
If you get a chance, watch it...definitely worth the watch.... :)
KISS KISS BANG BANG - STARRING VAL KILMER!!
:rotfl: :rotfl: I saw it on the flight! HILARIOUS!! SERIOUS!! AWESOME! In the Genre of The Iraqi Wallclock I'd say! EXCELLENT!!! :rotfl: 8-)
THE LOVE BUG- *ing 'Herbie', a 1960s VW Beetle tat acts almost human! :thumbsup: 8-)
Its a totally HILARIOUS movie....I'd first watched it on video yrs ago as a kid, then bought a DVD of the movie at Spencer's Plaza wen I was @ Madras last weekend! :D
Now altho the 'star' of the movie is the car, I can vouch its NOT jus for old car lovers! Definitely a must-see movie!
The Deep End of the Ocean
Donnie Darko
White Noise
Especially:
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind *ing Jim Carey and Kate Winslet
-Excellent, fascinating concept...
Lamby, is that the race movie..
i shink the movie remade recently with Lindsay..
Yes its abt the beetle taking part in races/rallies......Quote:

Am not an MI fan but was dragged to the cinemas by fellow friends. :shock: ...
Actually, I have not watched MI movies prior to this, but this one was pretty fine. Despite heading to watch it right after work and being very much sleepy and tired, my eyes were wide open thru out the entire movie. :shock: ...
Hmm ... so, tell me ?? Were the earlier MI's good ??
Hmm, in comparison with Lucky Number Slevin which I watched in early April, this was surely worth the money and time.
Adios, guys ...
Hey shalushalu :)....
Welcome to the hub and enjoy....
I recently watched Lucky Number Slevin as well, and I thought it was a creative movie...
"a very different revenge story...creative movie, well done...i liked it even though it's not my kind of movie....:)....
movie stars Josh Harnette (Slevin), Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Ben Kingsley (sp.), Lucy Liu...."
And I also watched MI3...and I agree with you....
it's an awesome, action-packed movie....I watched the movie not for Tom Cruise, but for the action and super stunts...I enjoyed this movie very much....:)
yes, I know that you won't :wink:Quote:

Liar Liar Liar ......
u ll laugh ur head off :lol:
"American History X" ( For those who don't mind watching some serious stuffs) - I saw this film recently . This movie deals with Derek who is a Neo-nazi & totally against blacks initially and the circumstances that forces him to change him completely. Dont miss this movie. This is one of the better movies on this subject.
Oh Yeah! It was on HBO, or Showtime, or one of those movie channels right? Man! I only saw the ending...:roll: Realyl wanna see the whole movie when they air it again. Looks V.V.V Interesting!
SINTHIYA,
I saw a movie yesterday called "City Of God" I see that othe one that u recommended was City of GodS...Plural..but I'm not sure if this is the one that u talked about. :P
This one was about 2 black kids who become crime gods in this city in Cuba or something...reminded me A LOT of Pattiyal with Arya and Bharath.
Surya, yes I was referring to the movie, 'City of God'....same one you saw...about two gangs in the Rio de Janeiro...and a photographer and his life over the years...very powerful movie that really makes you wonder what happens around in our own cities and other countries too and how fortunate we are...
i saw the documentary feature after the movie and some members of the actual gang spoke as well as residents of Rio De Janeiro...really sad....how kids just grow up and start their own gangs :x ...sickening...and it never ends.... :(
yes, it's similar to Pattiyal from the reviews I've read...also Pudhupettai of Selva's is similar to City of God as well...
also, i don't recommend you watch this movie called 'Perusu' :oops: , but it's a very poor copy of that movie in Tamil ....i only watched first 20mins (couldn't bare to watch more) and i knew it was City of God when the guys started chasing the chicken and they show the photographer in a full circle from present to past....
Yeah, I've seen this movie. One of the most realistic gangster movie. I think its a brazilian movie with english s-titles. I guess Pudupettai should be on the lines of this movie.
V for Vendetta is nice..........it's not a totally violent movie.....
Munich.
Movie was really good.Stark and disturbing.Deserved an oscar for cinematography unfortunately didnt get one.
Da vinci code
yes..it's coming out May 19th....this Friday....

Then u can watch any thiruttu movies for free...
i just watcehd 1st 10 mins..
I dunno beause yet to read the book
SWORDFISH is an awesome movie ! i loved that ! except for some scenes, tis beautiful !
particularly the first bomb blast scene, which is shown by the cam rotating the area at the same instance ! simply superb
Swordfish is a nice "kaadhula poo" movie. The cars in the movies are awesome :) nothing short of Porsche, Beemers, Humvees. John Travolta is da man :D. Should forget all logic before the start though.
BG,
you might like Transporter and its sequel of you like Swordfish kinda movies.
For young teens, I would recommend Chronicles of Narnia. That movie was very good and the special effects were very good.
