Thought of the day

I never met anybody who said when they were a kid, “I wanna grow up and be a critic.”
– Richard Pryor

American Grafitti

Looks something like a low budget experimental film with no Hollywoodish dramatic twists and turns.
A nostalgic story
It is about young guys, having aspirations & confusions. Not very sure what to do with there lives. Living in the comfortable situation of a school and then going out to face the world is a big transition in [...]

Breakfast at Tiffany´s

An old classic turns out to be an entertaining fun movie.
Interesting story
This is basically a romantic comedy, but an element of suspense is also included as a part of the plot. Story unfolds itself so beautifully that you always remain happily interested and involved with the narrative. Drama mixed with humor makes it a strong [...]

Apocalypse Now

¨Oh man, the shit piled up so fast in Vietnam you needed wings to stay above it.¨
-Willard

Apocalypse now is not a movie for watching casually.
Heavy stuff
It is a convoluted psychological drama, can deeply move and emotionally involve you. This is serious, dark stuff. There is no doubt about the enormous thinking and effort went [...]

The Incredibles

¨It’s psychotic! They keep creating new ways to celebrate mediocrity, but if someone is genuinely exceptional… ¨
-Bob

A nice animation film. It has now become one of my all time favorite animation films. Pixar rocks!
Story Telling
Caricatured characters and a distinct style makes this movie very effective. Another strong point is- movie is very convincing. In [...]

Revenge of the Sith

“Destroy the Sith, we must!”
-Yoda

Star wars is majestic in every sense of word. It is a saga of galaxy far far away, which is the highest selling franchise of all time. Revenge of the Sith completes the prequel trilogy of Star Wars.
Technology
We can be quite assured that whatever we are watching in this movie is [...]

Chinatown

¨I don’t get tough with anyone, Mr. Gittes. My lawyer does.¨
-Evelyn Mulwray

I wanted to watch this movie for a long time. But when I watched it, I was quite confused, the question was- what makes it so critically acclaimed? Then I watched it again yesterday to make sure, I do understand most of it. [...]

The Last Crusade

¨Nazis. I hate these guys.¨
-Indiana Jones

Adventure
It is basically a fun movie. It was a refreshingly different from James Bond kind of adventure.
Spielberg
I would call it more original of Spielberg, otherwise in the recent movies his directorial flair is hindered by big stars, enormous sets or special effects.
Comedy
It was comedy and adventure mixed in [...]

Wallace and Gromit

“Aah, the old BV6000, Ma’am, err … capable of 125 rpm — that’s “rabbits per minute”.”
-Wallace

Not a great animation masterpiece but this is what you call a good family entertainment. It has got some very typical sequences but the idea was refreshing. It had innocent & simple character, hailing basic goodness of people. It was [...]

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

¨Nazis. I hate these guys.¨
-Indiana Jones

I loved the movie and it was a nice change from James Bond type of adventure. It is a fun packed movie and you just can´t get bored. Here, the art lies in the keeping viewers occupied the full time, with depiction of heroism in the absolute sense and some [...]
