The Gods Must Be Crazy (1980)

MOVIE REVIEW:
There was a tribe of Bushmen in the Kalahari Desert who lived in harmony with each other and with the harsh environment and whole story is based on their lifestyle. It's sounds like a boring movie but it's as interesting as it's name. This is an classic comedy reflecting Bushman's life and simplicity is quite funny to us but their relational aspect with each other and with nature is quite thoughtful  and deep. This is amazingly directed and sometimes it's feel like a documentary but it's very funny, thoughtful and entertaining movie.

Movie Details: 
Director: Jamie Uys
Writer: Jamie Uys
Lead Actors: Nixau, Marius Weyers and Sandra Prinsloo

Decision: Epic comedy with thoughtful unusual story... Must see..

MOVIE REVIEW:
Some elite soldiers who have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world: disarming bombs in the heat of combat. If you think just this - I will say no... It's a very serious movie with amazing direction. You can feel the real heat of the war with some mind blowing action. If you want real war action in a different test just see this. Some scenes let you hold you breath and eye... I love this movie and I think you will too.

District 13: Ultimatum (2009)

Banlieue 13 - Ultimatum (original title)
MOVIE REVIEW: 
Everything we love about action movie like Mafia, Conspiracy,  Killing, Fight, Stunt, Gang etc. everything is here. District is full of different types of gangs and some how the whole area controlled by these gang. The gangs in district 13 are ferocious and brutal but they have some understanding. The most amazing thing about the movie is these gangs are fighting against government to protect their district. I know it is quite hard to believe but thats true. There is some good conspiracy and amazing stunts. I think 'District 13: Ultimatum' rocks in action movie category.

Movie Details: 
Director: Patrick Alessandrin
Writer: Luc Besson (scenario)
Lead Actor: Cyril Raffaelli, David Belle and Philippe Torreton


Decision:  Serious fight, amazing stunts and a good conspiracy - thumbs up for this movie.

Madhouse 2004

MOVIE REVIEW:
Good presentation of madness... multiple personality disorder. The movie is artistically designed, viewer sometimes feels like it's a horror movie but that's not. The critical stages of human behavior and physiological aspects creating whole movie haunted. Everything is not quite convincing but not bad at all. Serial killing, madness, horror, darkness and suspense, I think all these things  blended perfectly and the key things I like this movie.

Movie Details:
Director: William Butler
Writers: William Butler (story), Aaron Strongoni (story)
Lead Actors: Joshua Leonard, Jordan Ladd and Natasha Lyonne

Decision: Very good movie... must see..!

Lodger 2009

 

MOVIE REVIEW:

As per name the story is based on mysterious lodger. In the stories like serial killings mysterious thing are the best way keep everything secrete. People who love Jack the Ripper kind of movie this is one of the finest one. The story is quit convening and well executed. The lead actors reacted perfectly and the most importantly, this is the matter of serial killings not a easy to establish something which is not truth but in this movie done it very well. 

The movie is quit serious kind of... but it is not boring at all. If you are in mood of see something serious suspense movie it's just great.

Movie Details:
Director: David Ondaatje
Writers: David Ondaatje (screenplay), Marie Belloc Lowndes (book)
Lead Actors: Alfred Molina, Hope Davis and Shane West

Decision: Very good story line and presentation.

Elite Squad (2007)

MOVIE REVIEW:
Captain Nascimento has to find a substitute for his occupation while trying to take down drug dealers and criminals before the Pope comes to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Its sounds like a general squad clearing drug mafia but that's wrong. The training and ferociousness of the squad is quit impassive, and they are not fighting with a general mafia they are dealing with abrasive, cruel and most dangerous ones. Only way to stop the is by finding and killing within their slum. Captain Nasciment BANGS this movie and the direction is very nice and you can feel the heat...

Details:
Director: Jose Padilha
Writers: Jose Padilha, Braulio Mantovani and 5 more
Lead Actors: Wagner Moura, Andre Ramiro and Caio Junqueira

Decision: Truly good action movie killing and dealing is just fantastic.

Chocolate 2008

MOVIE REVIEW:
A young girl with powerful martial art skills... Isn't it amazing? Yap! Very good Thai action movie with some serious stunts. The girl likes Tony Jaa (One of my fev) and her kicks and punches are more like him, but it carries her own style and it's good. There is a scene where the girl fights with multiple people is more like the scene of Tony Jaa flim 'Tom Yung Goong'.  This movie full of action and some social views and I love action movie contains lots of action. If you like 'muay thai' (it seems to be... I am not professional ) action you must see this movie.

Details:
Director: Prachya Pinkaew
Writers: Chookiat Sakveerakul (screenplay), Napalee (screenplay)
Lead Actors: JeeJa Yanin, Hiroshi Abe and Pongpat Wachirabunjong 


Decision: Full of nice action and amazing stunts.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 2008

REVIEW:
A child was born like an old man and day by day he is getting younger. This is an amazing concept.
I always love those movie having new concept and a new concept is a power as well as weakness. If the presentation of new concept is not proper it don't carry it's real impact. But this movie carries it's concept well. Acting, direction, cinematography... everything is well mannered. I liked the movie but I think there is enough space for doing more than this. I found there are some lake of drama and deep emotion. But overall the movie is great and every one should see this.

Details:
Director: David Fincher
Writers: Eric Roth(screenplay), Eric Roth(story), Robin Swicord(story) and F. Scott Fitzgerald(short story)
Lead Actors: Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton
 

Decision: Good concept and interesting movie.
