The Shawshank Redemption(Movie)

I am really bugged today so am posting a review of an inspiring movie.... Inspiring is the perfect word to describe this outrageosly good piece of cinema
The film moves forward towards the climax so smoothly that you are left thinking 'oh has the movie ended already??'. The performances are so good that you really feel for the characters. Its consistently in the top 2 of imdb's top 250 films of all time. That shows how much people loved this movie. Its a shame that this movie dint win any oscars(the oscars for the year of its release were swept by forrest gump.... another superb movie)
Rating 5/5
Do yourself a favour,watch Shawshank Redemption.....

Pulp Fiction(Movie)

Now this is what i call a great movie..... i am sure every new-age director who is worth his salt will be influenced by Tarantino's style of film making. This movie catapulted him to superstardom. It even resurrected the sagging careers of bruce willis and John Travolta Cool movie with amazing sequences and dialogue.... The music used in the film is also very apt. Cool music for a cool movie.
i think this is one of those select num of movies which can be watched over and over again.......
Rating-4/5
p.s watch reservoir dogs. Its tarantino's first movie and its also really cool with unbelievable dialogues and memorable scenes.........who can forget the ear cutting scene???

Race(Movie)

So another remake of a B grade hollywood film with loads of sex and scheming....... This film is so bad that its actually quite enjoyable to watch it. I know twists are the essential part of a thriller movie,but if only twists make up a movie it becomes a tad too tough to comprehend......
The movie has some cool music and some amazing girls (a perfect teen fantasy)
A perfect movie for a matinee show with college friends.......
Rating- 2.5/5 Some of the dialogues are quite cool.........

Tashan(Movie)

Tashan means style.... so i thought that i would be watching a somewhat stylish flick with a reasonable storyline and some good stunts and dialogues. Mind you i was not expecting pulp fiction(i mean who would????from yashraj???no way) but the movie really surprised me,not in a positive way but in a negative way....... i have never watched a more crappier film than tashan. What were the producers thinking when they okayed this script????

So to keep it short and sweet, if you want a stylish thriller where assasins chase robbers rent a dvd of pulp fiction.......... save for the 4 odd mins of the song were kareena exposes everything like a B grade actress who would do anything for a role,i consider my 100rs gone down the drain....

rating-stay far away from the theatres........or on second thoughts go for the AC(its summer time)
