Unforgiven (English): The scenes were composed so splendidly that though they look simple they have lot of action and suspense. Clint Eastwood was at his best. It did not have some fast/loud background music but it was still interesting. Every scene makes us expect something to happen and a different thing happens. The action scenes were awesome. They are violent and also make a huge impact on the audience. I liked it very much.
Jaws (English): Its an old movie (1975). So, the initial part where most of the talking between the people goes was not much interesting to me. but as soon as the 3 actors go out on the boat to kill the shark, the story turns out interesting. This also had all the scenes filled with suspense, action and thrill. The camera work and screenplay was very good.
Syriana (English): The movie was slow paced. Some of the violence scenes were done good. The camera work was neat. I had no interest in the story so I did not like it.
American Beauty (English): I watched it for second time and it was more interesting. It had a very good script. Kevin spacey was awesome. The character etching for all the characters was done superbly. The conflict was plenty. Its a character driven movie. The narrator is Lester (Kevin Spacey). The opens with the actor saying "Today is my last day". The character transforms to a more optimistic state by the end of the movie and dies but the contradictory thing is now he feels life is all those moments which he enjoyed. He is no more afraid of losing anything. He even quotes to his boss "I am an ordinary man who has nothing to lose". Every character undergoes transformation in the movie but the major change is of Lest. The inciting incident happens when Lest meets his daughter's friend. The dramatic question is will Lest be able to achieve that girl by changing himself. So, the goal is to attract that girl, need is to change himself. He achieves the need by the end. He leaves the girl. The mid-point of the movie is when he starts working out and says the dialogue: "Everydays is the first day or your life except the day you die". Crisis is when he realizes that his daughter hates him, his wife is hooked up to someone else. He doesnt feel bad for any of those things. He is a changed man now. In the climax, he doesnt seduce the girl. This is a MUST watch movie.
Disturbia (English): Pretty good movie. Its a fairly simple story presented in a new way. The best thing of the movie is the camera. The first accident in which the father of the hero dies is awesome. I felt as if it happened to me. I dont know how the cinematographer was able to capture it but its breath-taking. The same kinda work is done in the last part where the hero fights the killer. The remaining part of the movie is good and entertaining. I felt the movie ended very easily. The kid kills the killer so easily. The tension and other things were excellent but a different ending would have made it a very good one.
Mr. Brooks (English): An OK killer movie. Kevin Costner did a wonderful action. The movie revolves around a killer who kills because he is addicted to it. He does the job without leaving any clue for the police. Overall you can watch it once.
thats it for now.
