Top Gun

*ing : Tom Cruise, Kelly McGills, Val Kilmer

Director : Tony Scott

Tagline : I feel the need, need for speed

One of the most famous films of Tom Cruise wasnt that fun for me. May be its quite old so looses some thrill due to datd to VFX. even apart, the story of an arrogant bt smart flyer is not that engrossing.

Cassandra's Dream

i am a huge fan of Woody allen. some of his films are my all time favorties. for exp. vicky cristina barcelona, match point. this film is set in england and is abt two brothers who have serious financial woes. woody allen's films have always been abt different emotions, and situations. in this film too, he talks abt greed love and other aspects of life which matter to us. not his best work for sure bt not his worst either.

Almost Famous

rock n rolla has capability to change the world. singers and fan grew believing this. to some extent its true also. anyways, the film is account of a journalist following a band "stillwater" in their concerts around the country in US. i dnt really know if the band ever existed or the story is true bt its not a bad film. obsession with stars, getting close to celebrities, their own in-fights, insecureness, jealousy and their success is portrayed in rather honest way. worth a watch it is.

(500) Days of Summer

one of my personal fav film. this not a love story, this is story about love. tells how gals are, how nice they can be and how cruel and stone-hearted they can be. lot of personal referenance in this film. i had already seen the film bt soo wanted to see it again coz felt like hating someone even more.

Life is Beautiful

i have seen quite a few film on hollocoust and all of them have been very depressing and tragic and sad ! bt this film despite being tragic is special in a unique way.

such a great idea for a man to make his child belive that they are playing a game and they stand chance to win a real tank. and so convincing is the portrayel, the child rarely questions his father.

its a hailed masterpeice and i loved it too.

Invictus is story of Nelson Mandela and his early years as a president and how he chose the rugby team and world cup platform to unite the very divided country by apartheid. its a moving story and tells us enigmatic vision of Mr. Mandela and his rules of leadership. very inspiring story and top notch acting by Morgan freeman and Matt Demon.

Turning 30

as the name suggests, the film is abt gal who's turning 30 and finds her life in mess. no job, no relationship nothing. and then how she discovers herself. i found the film good for its portrayal of single working gals in big city like mumbai. the setting and plot lot realistic and there were very less fake ppl except may be character of purab. the office, colleauge, frens, boyfrens and breaking up reason, language n all.... not bad i d say.

National Treasure

havent really been fan of nicholas cage as an actor but been of treasure hunting type genre. and even though i think cage is here slightly miscast i thoroughly enjoyed the film. enough thrills to keep you hooked and interested.

Yeh Saali Zindagi

a quirky love story set in delhi made cool by humor, language and some really great acting by inspired starcast. almost all of them pitch in with good performance, special mention here for irffan khan, a man madly in love with women who doesnt love her.. his performance is highlight of the film.
