Piku (2015)
Wonderful ride, from Delhi to Kolkata
Beautiful, timeless and top class acting by everyone. This movie is a mood. The last great comedy from Hindi cinema. Very much engaging because of the characters and the conversations between them. This movie is a mood.
Better Call Saul: Point and Shoot (2022)
Enthralling
The first fifteen minutes are the best part for me. The rest is really good too. The score is great, acting is top notch from everyone especially Seehorn.
Some things are surely there which could have been handled better but this episode is too good to nitpick.
Yes Minister (1980)
One of the best pieces of satire
Brilliant series. The writing is much more than the polished English used. Nigel Hawthorne is the star of the show, he is both the sane and the comic element of the series.
Mad Men (2007)
Plain Brilliant.
Jon Hamm is the real Greek God. What a performance. Usually I am not sure about a TV Series with 7 seasons, it kind of drags irrespective of what it was in the initial seasons. But this one is really good.
Fatal Attraction (1987)
Great
Quintessential erotic-psychological thriller for me. Very silly premise but works perfectly here.
Malik (2021)
A good Indian movie on politics and gangsters after a long time
The camerawork and the performances are the engine of this film. That alone makes it a movie to watch out.
Handles the politics well but not religion, where I think the filmmakers tried to unnecessarily overdose the viewer.
Either the songs could have been avoided or probably some of the material in the second half could have been cropped, although I still liked the editing very much, it in-fact makes the movie a bit interesting.
Draws a lot of influence from Godfather and Nayakan, so the basic plot is not something fresh but they still overcame with that problem by adding more family and friendship element to it.
The main theme is cool and so is the score but Indian cinema still has a long way to go in terms of background score.
If the performances are as great such as this, you have to lean on that and use more and more silence instead of putting some tune to describe the mood.
Antardwand (2008)
Great & heartwrenching
One of the best movies on social issues, especially based on rural India. Shows the harsh truth with commendable performances from everyone.
The songs could have been avoided & the movie could have been made a bit less dramatic. Otherwise this is a very well made film, needs to be watched by more people.
Jism (2003)
Forgettable
It's just a 130 minute movie but still has a very weak first half, poorly written dialogues. The actors were fine although both their voices were dubbed.
The songs were great and so was the cinematography but this could have been a much better thriller.
Nayak (1966)
Good
Comfortably one of the director's more amusing films.
Pather Panchali (1955)
Great but still far from perfect.
An accomplishment considering this is Ray's directorial debut and made on a very tight budget among other financial troubles.
The camerawork is brilliant. But still this could have been way shorter than it is. Major plot points driving the story arrive too late. Pace is always the engine of a film according to me.
All the performances in this movie have such innocence in them, which makes it terrific to watch.
Spider-Man 3 (2007)
Excellent film. People who disliked it must have watched it for the wrong reasons.
The best one from the trilogy. Like the 'dark' thing they did with the character as well as the costume. Very cool action sequences throughout the film.
The tone and style of the film is however, predictable for the people who have watched the previous two movies from the trilogy. Although I look at it as staying true to what makes it popular and stick to the theme.
Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Great
Amazing, just like the first one with even better action sequences.
Spider-Man (2002)
Awesome
Have a very vague memory of watching this in my childhood and loving it to the fullest.
Rewatching in lockdown and was wondering if I would still love it or it would be too amateurish for me now. And it still is one of my favourites.
The CGI forms a major part of the movie but it still has so much human element in it. The dialogues are great and the action is top-notch.
The whole story on paper looks too simple with the basic structure of hero-villain-beautiful woman-happy ending type, and predictable too, but it is so well done and beautifully shot that you are interested to watch it till the end.
Maybe it is not in the same league as The Dark Knight trilogy but this franchise was the one that drove me towards the fascinating superhero fictionalized world.
Breaking Bad (2008)
Outstanding
Simply the best show on Television ever.
The performances, the cinematography, the use of colors, the setting, the premise, the action, the dialogues, the emotions, the story, the ending - everything is outright brilliant and perfectly done.
Have watched it many times since it ended and bad part about that is that no other show gave the same feels that this one did.
To all the people watching it for the first time, I'm jealous of you. Savor it.
Sudani from Nigeria (2018)
Amazing
A very well made film with it's heart in the right place. Although it tries very hard being generous and becomes overtly so.
Amazing how Malayalam Cinema is producing small-budget gems like these every now and then.
Wait Until Dark (1967)
Great
Thrilling and brilliantly acted by all especially Audrey Hepburn. It is aptly timed and doesn't feel long despite the fact that it is not a whodunit but a movie about the survival of a blind lady.
Highly engaging and a must watch.
Roman Holiday (1953)
Good and Heartwarming
Amazing as expected and very shining performance from Hepburn.
Erin Brockovich (2000)
Wow
Great direction by Soderbergh & magnificent performances by both Julia Roberts and Albert Finney.
Very well-paced and that's why I think this has great rewatch value. Awesome dialgogue writing.
Loved the humour too. It wasn't forced but there are still lot of funny moments like that and it's amazing that a film made on a very serious issue has so much comic elements in it.
Don't Breathe (2016)
Very Good Watch
Like these kind of horror movies where they are not entirely dependent on VFX and make-ups, and are more focused on tension building and the atmosphere.
The story is also unique unlike the usual. It is also very good visually with great performances carrying the film on it's shoulders.
True Story (2015)
Nah !
Intriguing and engaging at first, this went downhill to dull and disappointing.
Don't know what kind of movie they wanted to make. Could have been a decent documentary material.
Charlie's Angels (2000)
Nice
Was a nice Chad and a fun watch as well. Liked the action too.
Star Wars (1977)
Amazing
Quite a remarkable film, especially looking back.
The first half hour sets up perfectly for what is coming, since it only picks up the pace in the second half.
Made in 1977, it is a milestone in Science-Fiction cinema experience.
Aaranya Kaandam (2010)
Awesome
What a classic. Just plain brilliant. One of the best Tamil movies out there.
The Godfather Part II (1974)
The best.
This is the best sequel and prequel ever.
The transition between young Vito's storyline and Michael's rise to power is very smoothly done. Both the characters are brilliant and the dialogues are great too.
Love how Vito carries the same personality throughout in both the films but on the other hand how brilliantly they handled Michael's character arc, a decent military hero turned into a cold hearted gangster.
The score is perfect and will always be remembered. Nothing to add about the performances.
Drive (2011)
Amazing. The kind of action movie that should be made more.
Amazing. The cinematography, the score, the action sequences, photography(color composition), everything is great in this film.
The opening sequence is pretty great, but also sets the tone for what kind of action film it is going to be, which is what makes the film good i.e., it is not overdosed with heavy action.
