Billy Bob Thornton, what a performance! backed with a Coen brothers script and with Joel Coen behind the camera makes this yet another cult classic from the two brothers!
I have never laughed out loud in ages, last time I remember having so much fun watching a movie was during ‘Life of Bryan’. MacGruber will easily go down as the best comedy of the year.
P.S IMDB users are turds!
Simple plot but has adrenaline pumping action. Second French movie that stood out among other foreign movies after ‘A Prophet’ this year.
Football Fans, drop whatever it is that you are doing and watch this insanely outrageous flick about Hooliganism in England. It commands your attention from start till the end. If this can be categorized in the sports genre, then this is the one that should be on that ‘top 25 all time sports movie list’. Elijah Wood is top top top notch in this movie, so do watch it.
P.S Spurs and Manutd fans are up for some embarrassing moments.
Another rib tickling comedy from the McDonagh family. If have seen ‘In Bruges’ and liked it, you will love this Irish movie. Brendan Gleeson’s racial slur’s on Don Cheadle is the highlight of the film.
Rating 8/10
Contagion movie review
They say yawning is contagious, and I actually was yawning when my friend sitting next to me, stretched his arms with a mighty yawn after half through watching ‘Contagion’.
After the initial 20 odd minutes I felt like I was watching a documentary on Discovery, where the actors reenact every scene from an event that happened before, punctuated with some somber background narrative.
Soderberg always manages to pull out a casting coup of sorts since his Oscar winning ‘Traffic’ days. He continued the tradition with the Ocean series. Here we have Matt Damon, Jude Law, Lawrence Fishburne, Kate Winslet, Gwyneth Paltrow plus others in Contagion trying their best to look good from what little screen time they were given without trying hard to out do each other.
Matt Damon was grossly underused as the “super immune” man whose body could beat any “super bug” and Jude Law as a shoddy blogger was the only saving grace of this 1hr 40 mins movie of an overly stretched story from a simple plot point.
Rating 6.5/10
John Frusciante shall be missed, Josh Klinghoffer is a nice addition to the band nonetheless. ‘Brendan’s death song’ is my favorite track so far.
Watch of the week: Incendies (French/Arab)
Unique screenplay backed up with Radiohead tracks as background music makes it a compelling watch. Watch out for the brutal massacre in the second act.
My first Argentine movie (The Secret in Their Eyes) and it will comfortably figure in my top 5 movies list of 2011.
My entire faith in Sydney Lummet was shattered yesterday after watching, Hitchcock’s epic crime drama “Rope”.
