Untraceable - watchable once :)
Kevin Costner, De Niro, Sean Connery, Andy Garcia - The cast was awesome but somehow the film didnt hit the level that it should have. Wardrode by Georgio Armani 8-)
The Untouchables.
It was a blessed weekend for me. Watched “The Deer Hunter” & “ One flew over the cuckoo’s nest” and have just not come out of the hangover. :notworthy:
Generally war films depict the glory of war or they try to analyse the aftermath of it. Deer Hunter falls in the second category. Well, the Russian roulette says it all. I just couldn’t imagine the terrible state of mind of those real soldiers who had gone through that dreadful experience. de Niro and Walken where just terrific and so is Meryl Streep. :clap:
Next to the loss of human lives, what disturbs me most about wars is the horrible act of destroying natural beauties and its valuable resources. Beautiful valley of Kashmir, dense forests of Sri Lanka…. Vietnam….. and, we are supposed to be the most superior form of all species in God’s creation. I’m sick of thinking about it. In the end, Streep sadly sings, “God bless America..”, which sounds nothing more than a metaphor.
One flew over the cuckoo’s nest – this guy just proves that no other actor could have played Mc Murphy better than him – hats off of Jack :notworthy: . Louise Fletcher was amazing.
Notable Indian adaptations – “Thalavattam” – dir.by Priyadarshan, starring Mohanlal & “Manasukkul Mathappu” – dir.by Robert Rajasekar, starring Prabhu.
And, the dvd’s of Annie Hall & Kramer vs. Kramer is in the pipeline and I have just kept them for this weekend viewing (as I’ve seen them already, years back).
However, the temptation to watch AH was too hard to resist, that I only managed to watch the opening scene. Great opening sequence – just after the opening credits, we get to see a tight close-up of this middle aged man (I turned 40…… I’m balding slightly at top :D ) and he at once begins to talk non-stop, about how he feels about life (it’s “essentially” about two women, to start with :D ). As he continues to talk to us on and on and on…. we, happily begin to follow him with all our heart. :thumbsup:

The Deer Hunter is a great film with a significant flaw in its racist (antagonism) treatment of Viet Cong. Yet, Purely as an emotional 'hymn' piece, it's peerless. De Niro's & Walken's acting is so perfect that they give truth to presumably normal human being taken to the extreme. The Russian roulette is the nadir..
The Raging Bull-One of those movies which left me with 'no feeling'.12 hours since the movie ended,still can't decide what I feel about it.
But no such confusion about De niro-he epitomised the title,fantastic.The way he worked out the character graph too was damn good.
Joe pesci was an able foil as his brother Joey but Cathy Moriarty as Vickie was beautiful but little low on substance i.e acting.
The boxing scenes were superbly choreographed,extremely realistic.
Tidbit I was not aware of-make up was by Micheal you-know-who westmore.
Traffic.
Excellent. Runs for 140 minutes. But didnt feel the length at any POT.
Great. What about One flew.....??Quote:
