Ship of Theseus (2012)
Very thoughtful
************About the movie:
It's one of those movies, on which I allow my brain to dwell as much as possible, dwelling gives me some pointers, which I keep. And believe me, there aren't many movies like this.
The discussion between 2 characters in all the 3 Acts was the highlight of the movie for me. And of course the conclusion in Act 4. The discussion is the most important aspect of the story from Act 1 to 3, discussions between Aliya and Vinay, Maitreya and Charvaka and, Navin and his grandmother. The discussion reveals the 2 distinct strong beliefs, although no one is wrong, one makes more sense than others.
Aliya, Maitreya, and Navin have strong beliefs, but it is quite clear that their thoughts are limited by their experiences. The change factor the donor brings more perspective and more experiences in their lives. After the changed perspective, they can experience the world in a new light. Their perspective about their beliefs and life changes and now their earlier discussions make more sense.
In Act 4 the cave is the perfect example of Plato's Allegory of the cave. Initially, people were able to see just shadows cast on walls with the light projected by themselves. Which is just like their stong believes. Sunlight from the cave door represents the change factor the donor, which changed their perspective of the world and their lives, As it gave them a new experience and opportunity to see and explore further.
I would love to understand the thought process of naming the movie, it would be quite fascinating.

Sherlock: The Abominable Bride (2016)
Sherlock never fails to amaze me, My mind Lit up when the secrets unfolded, it felt awesome
Sherlock never fails to amaze me, season after season Sherlock's standards are higher and higher.
I watched The Abominable Bride with perception that its going to be a unique take towards the Victorian era or version of Sherlock, Sherlock and Watson will solve some crimes in old age that's it, that's how perceived it.
But while talking to Moriarty all of a sudden Sherlock shakes up and the private jet lands and what the creators of Sherlock has done is they connected it with the last episode of Sherlock. Sherlock is in his Mind Palace or dreaming while high on drugs try to solve how Moriarty came back from dead.
I think I got this amazing shock after a very long time, it was even better than Hans Solo getting killed. That was tragic and this is just amazing.
I just want to congratulate the creators, writers and execution of Sherlock, The Abominable Bride is a masterpiece and I have already watched it 4 times.
True Detective (2014)
Nope nothing like season 1
I waited for this one desperately and I had high hopes for it. Season 1 was like my grey cells were getting some kind of hard work out. I just loved it.
Season 2 is more like a loose end, nothing like season 1, It ended with too many unanswered questions and many disappointments. the main crime and its criminal seems insignificant.
At the end of season 1 there was sense of ending and satisfaction but season 2 is just....I don't get the point.
My suggestion to people who gona watch it now is don't compare it with season 1 its a master piece and it will remain so.......season 2 is just pointless.
Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
Experience was similar to first one
I found the first Avengers movie a mash up of too many characters and stories and I was overwhelmed till the end of the movie. In the end when everything fell in its place the movie felt good.
Age of Ultron is also something similar, more characters then last movie, more complex interconnected stories this time, Josh Weadon has managed it beautifully, but I find it extremely difficult to like it as soon as I have seen it and I have seen it yesterday.
Just like last move it grows on you, more I think about it more I like it. Anyways there is a build up for Infinity and Civil war, so more great things yet to come. Always a great pleasure to watch the biggest movie of the year.
The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
I clapped so many times
One word AWASOMETACULAR.
Really nice movie, best one in this year......no doubt better than avengers, but not great as the Dark Knight was, but still it has its own place. I loved the trilogy so much, I missed so many meetings and appointments today for this movie, really loved it.
This is not as great as The Dark Knight was, as in that movie I wasn't sure whats going to happen, or what would Joker would do, but in this movie I just wanted Batman to win, Dark Knight was more Joker's than Batman, in this move I think everyone loved to see Batman winning.
Defiantly gonna buy this on blue ray. I hope Nolan never stops making movies like this one ever.

Arjun: The Warrior Prince (2012)
Ecellent
One word Excellent.......I have watched many Indian animations but after Ramayan the legend of price Ram, Arjun is the only animated movie I really loved.
The Animation is just out of this world and it can compete with any other animation movies of the world.
Not only animation but the story telling was also very cool, I think it the best way to tell this story and its not lengthy at all, movie is just 2 hrs long I think, which is cool, I think children as well as Adults will enjoy it,and best part is everyone will take away something from it.
Keep up the good work.
Warrior (2011)
Rocky of Our times
I watched this movie pretty recently, my friend told me it is rocky of our time and it is, I agree with other reviews, the movie is very daring in challenging people thoughts that they have watched the best fight movies, this movie can easily prove anyone wrong who stereotypes a fight movie, the acting is top notch, the biggest surprise of this movie is Hardy and Edgerton, I never knew they are such good actors, I notices Hardy in inception but in this movie he just awesome, I see big time physical transformation as well, no wonder he is going to play Bane.
I consider this movie a classic and best movies of last year, its big time contender for many awards in Oscars, if you haven't seen it yet, you are missing something great.

Troy (2004)
196 min (director's cut) Best modern historical epics so far and ignore if people tell you it's not good.
Got a chance to watch the 196 min (director's cut) on this weekend, I liked the version so much that I am writing a review after 7 years, I 1st saw it.
But I don't really understand whats the issue with a lot of people who write reviews for this movie, seems like they didn't really liked it. They don't give good rating or write pretty bad thing about it. May be Troy doesn't give the exact historical event occurred, but who knows what really had happened, we just have bits and pieces of information. And why should someone be concerned about the depiction anyways as their is so much to see in this movie and brilliant acting by so many people, the movie is undoubtedly belong to genre epic, truly a best modern historical epics so far.
What I really loved about the director's cut, so many sequences were not in the theatrical version and when I saw then a lot of other things made more sense and now I am even bigger fan of this movie.
I do not have words to describe how huge the movie is in terms of production and design, screenplay, acting, music and especially dialogs. The quotes of this movie, the on liners are like out of this world, loved them so much.
I recommend this movie to all who really like to appreciative a good and honest effort. 196 min (director's cut).
Inception (2010)
OMG what a movie
Inception is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen, and surprisingly most of my favorites are directed by Christopher Nolan, starting with Memento till Dark Knight I am huge fan and Inception is no exception, its is a master piece, and I know just like other movies of Christopher Nolan this one will be considered as one of the top movies of all time.
Inception is a story of inception of a thought in someone's mind and believe me everyone who is going to watch this movie will have an idea actually in there minds as well, I have the same kind of felling when I watched Memento, this movie creates effects like the same, the strange felling of watching something new or unique.
Been waiting for this movie for almost 7 months now, biggest movie of the year and I am sure will win all the awards at the Oscars and another place where it will be nominated.
Christopher Nolan is quite amazing , he told such a complex story in just 2 hrs, if Matrix's Brothers were have to same kind of thing, they would have taken 3 movies to tell the same story, it just Nolan who can manage such a complex story to be tolled in just one movie, Oh wow what an experience, I hope Christopher Nolan will make a sequel or prequel of the same with same brilliance.
Must watch for everyone, and should watch it for more than once.

Up in the Air (2009)
Intelligently Made excellent movie
I saw this movie yesterday, the plot of the movie is very unique, I wasn't aware that there are companies in this world offering this kind of service. But anyways, the most mesmerizing thing about this movie are the dialogs / quotes, I mean amazingly intelligently written dialogs makes this movie so amazing that I cannot explain.
Most importantly someone like Ryan Bingham has to defined through these dialogs, I am most impressed by Jason Reitman, Sheldon Turner and Walter Kirn.
Hope to see more.
Thanx AB
