Die Hard :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:
A fan of this right from the AXN channel days in India. Everything about this film is so perfect. One of the best screenplays ever. I have watched it multiple times even though I know whats gonna happen next. The characters are etched in memory forever. The pick of the lot is Hans Gruber. Yes I am always a fan of the villains. Right from him, Robert Patrick till the Joker last year. Alan Rickman will be remembered even after his life for this role. His right hand karl was an other good role which suits the adage brain over brawn.
Bruce Willis as John Mclane is :thumbsup:. His conversations over the radio with Gruber are legendary. Yippie kie yae motherF!@#r. Set the trend for action films from that year. This film is the best of the series and it makes sense why even Die hard 4 was a hit. It's a shame that i forgot this film on my top 10 list :twisted:
In the mood for love
Acting,music,cinematography lam soooper...
but the romance feelings between the leads dint work at all...
The Fountain (for the 4th time, I think)
Not much to absorb this time around, but is still interesting. Very well made film, and the acting is totally amazing. Clint mansell's score, is very impressive. The flow of the movie is quite disruptive and sometimes not at all engaging. Must comment on the cinematography... Subtle effects like Bokeh, Silhoutte and zoom blurs are effectively used. Could have reduced the clues. There is so much thinking into the movie... but somehow feels ordinary after some viewings. People say, it is modern day 2001, but it is no way near it. Aronofsky has done a commendable job, his 2 best movie, I would put.
The Departed
Thanks to the Asian original Infernal Affairs this film is the most entertaining films of Scorsese's for me. I found the acting better in The Departed though Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu wai themselves are very acclaimed actors from what I know. Asian films are always a tinge bitter i believe and by Asian i mean the East Asian films.

If I were the girl I'd choose the werewolf. He's hotter unlike gay looking edward :banghead:
Hotel Rwanda in Sony Pix. After Schindler’s List, another touching & well made film about genocide. The chilling menace and horrifying truth about the core theme that pervades in the film, keeps one dumbfounded.
One of the best aspect of the film is that, though it is about genocide, the on-screen violence was very minimal. The tension and the required effect is brought out simply through a voice that is played on the radio and a few scenes showing the extremists roaming around in the streets with deadly weapons and by showing dead bodies scattered all over the streets.
Paul, the protagonist (beautifully essayed by Don Cheadle), takes the entire film on his shoulders. He doesn’t seem to be aware of the word “ panic “ and the cool that he maintains in any given hard situation, and his business-like attitude is amazing.
There are scenes that sends out the message clear and loud. In the scene where Paul, along with one of his hotel staff (a traitor) goes to the Hutu’s camp where he’s got a friend who supplies him materials. On their way back to the hotel on a riverside road covered by fog, they feel like going on a bumpy road. Paul asks his staff to stop the vehicle and gets down and what he sees is a ghastly sight. Hundreds and hundreds of corpses lay scattered on the road and due to fog they were actually riding over these corpses!!! Such an appalling scene! Subsequently, he comes back to his room, takes a shower and wears a new shirt. When he prepares to wear the tie, his hands tremble and he finally breaks down.
In another scene, where he takes his wife to the terrace and slowly tells her that if the extremists surround the hotel, she must come up to the terrace along with the kids and then, JUMP !!! Just at this point, one begins to think, “ what sin have these people committed ? why are they being abandoned ? why have the government, the UN and other peace mongers of the world have turned a blind eye towards this unfortunate, helpless human beings “ – many, many, many why’s, if’s & but’s.
And, before the climax, you see the plight of thousands of innocent people including children, holding their lives in their hands and whatever belongings they could manage to get and moving out of town. Such a terrible scene that it makes me feel guilty to even thank God for keeping us all comfortable, safe & happy.
All these days, “ Why blood, same blood “ was a comical tag line that I have been using on various occasions. But now, things will be different.
