    Doubt

    Just finished watching it. Great. Strong story, brilliant acting. Can't say enough good things about it. How this picture didn't win an Oscar I'll never know.

    I would definately recommend it to everyone. Best movie I've seen in some time.

    Not if your hardcore pak cricket team fan. Sharukh played cleaver game by saying pak players should be picked and never picked one himself. He's execuse for not picking was as pathetic shilpa's. He made comments purly to get pakistani people to watch his movie. It worked wonders in UK. I would not be watching it even on on dvd.


    Back to topic. I watched 3 idiots couple of week ago and throught it was classic.

    I saw Deja Vu with Denzel Washington and Val Kilmer last last night. I was surprised at how good a movie it was but the ending was diappointing and was typical Hollywood.

    Yeah I saw that a few days ago.

    Decent movie to pass the time with but thats about it really.

    I recently saw V for Vendetta again.

    I've seen it before but in bits and pieces. Never really paid any real attention to it. But this time I decided to watch it all the way through. Good movie.

    Watch out spoiler for Deja Vu below...



    I knew they'd changed the future when she left her house with him. What they should have done was have him leave her in the house. As he drives away the killer steps out of the shadows and does what he was supposed to do. Then Denzel dies trying to diffuse the bomb. The movie closes out with beardie guy and Kilmer watching the ferry exploding on the screen!!

    I just saw Taken today, it had a bit of Bourne and a bit of 24 about it but they blended it well. Good movie.

    that movie took me by suprise as I wasn't expecting it to be good but it was definitely worth the time. I had downloaded dvdrip but hadn't heard anything about it...so was like it is going to be a b grade movie but like I said definitely worth the time spent watching it.

    Ninja Assassin: 7/10

    MNIK: 6/10 (it just amazes me on how they are planning on coming out with a shortened version of MNIK for the West, like we really deserved those bogus useless scenes).

    I am a big fan of comedy flicks. If you guys know/have seen some rare gems, do mention.

    indeed, was a lot of fun...Travolta was awesome!

    Lives of Others - lovely film, brilliant acting and a fantastic story.

    Invictus - not exactly a masterpiece, but a powerful and moving story.

    The Cable Guy is infamous for the fact that it nearly killed Jim Carey's career.

    I watched Equilibrium yesterday. Good movie. I don't understand how it flopped so badly?

    I saw equilibrium a couple of years ago. I'd never even heard of it and thought it was going to be a waste of time but it turned out to be really enjoyable

    I just saw a movie called Cashback about a guy who leaves his gf and regrets it. He develops insomnia and starts working on the night shift at a supermarket. It's one of those films where nothing much really happens but it wasn't as bad as it sounds. I wouldnt go out of your way to watch it but if it's on then there's worse ways to waste 90 mins

    Closer

    This is probably one of the best movies made in the last ten years, just behind Benjamin Button. Starring Jude Law and Julia Roberts, one would watch the movie for these two, but to me the movie belongs to Clive Owen. This is a must watch, if you have missed it, you are a looser.

    ^Watch it, believe me you will love the characters in the movie.

    Benjamin Button was different, and i wont be surprised if you wont like it. But Closer, you've gotto watch it.

    ps. if you watch it, and find it boring, dont stop atleast watch the ending.

    Benjamin Button is the sort of movie I like and I've been meaning to make time to watch it, I'll check Closer out and see how good your taste is.

    Shutter Island - dragged on a bit, but the final reveal was worth it, good movie.

    Wake Up Sid - booooring

    Funny People - I thought it would be crap, as most Sandler movies are, but it was surprisingly good.

    City of Ember - LOL, horrendous.

    Are you sure that is what you meant :D just kidding.

    I dont read reviews of the movie and whose in it etc etc coz i never find movie to be as good as the hype. Just picked Closer randomly and i was blown away by the characters especially the character of Clive Owen. That guy from Shoot em up.

    and its NOT a chic flick Nauman :(

    watched City of God (Brazilian/Portuguese) movie, its a real story of Photographer/Journalist living in the slums of brazil. Fantastic movie a must watch.

    Ps. how about sharing some quality torrent/direct d/l links in here :D

    Actually i also watched The Quick and the Dead (1995) few days ago. If you like cow boys/gun fights kind of movies, you must watch this one. good timepass.

    Rounders

    Matt Damon and Ed Norton.

    If you want to kill time then this is a pretty decent movie.

    Up in the Air was good timepass, but could have been short.

    *Spoiler Alert*
    The story became interesting when he goes to the lady's house and finds out that she is already married with kids. Shows you cannot just quit the life you are living and jump to another one as you like. So choose wisely.
