So after a stroll , its back to my favorite trilogy of all time(followed by the Godfather and Matrix) , and this ones special - since its my most favourite movie of the trilogy - The Two towers !! Well , the first one was a bit long and boring at times - the last one may have been much epical and the best in CG of the three , but the most darkest-scariest and most enjoyable of the three, according to me , is The Two Towers !! I absolutely loved the character development, the Rohan scenes, the Gimly/Legolast/Aragorn friendship and also Sam's speech to Frodo towards the end !!! So if am given an oppurtunity to watch one movie of the three again and again - it would definitely be the Two towers !! But then , i think its definitely underrated compared to its successor and predecessor in IMDB !!! And hey i loved the extended edition more than the theatrical one.. I ve given the link for the EXT edition only here ! Enjoy it !

Hmmm , I think i have developed some kinda paranoia for these old english b/w classics !! May be its because i don like watching my very own Old B/w Tamil classics !! Most of them are such emotional tear jerkers ( starring Sivaji ganesan) or over the top heroism flicks (starring MGR) ! So i never liked watchin a tamil classic and is clinged on to me for English as well.. But then after watchin Hitchcocks flicks and movies like 12 Angry Men and Citzen Kane , i have developed a good liking to the classics ! Lol , So this is jus an excuse to having not watched this movie - Sunset Boulevard- Hollywoods first take on itself !! , and i ve right now dwnloaded the Torrent that am givin u !! So ll get back with my review at a later stage ! In the mean time i give u a good review from IMDB !

A IMDB Review :

Gloria Swanson, a legend by the time she made this comeback picture, and playing a legend trying to make a comeback, managed to create an entirely new legend: this picture! Quite a feat, I'd say. Everyone agrees the script is superb, the photography of a high order, the casting and acting masterly, the direction elegant, and so on. There have always been a few who have picked on Ms. Swanson for her allegedly 'grotesque' portrayal, but I discount this emphatically. She is, after all, playing the character of a silent movie queen, from an era of exaggerated gestures, who is by now fairly well demented and trying to recapture the past. What else would one expect? And who could do it better? Is there anyone at all you can imagine in this role other than Gloria Swanson? Let's get serious. This is not High Art, but it is Low Art raised to the nth degree; it is Hollywood myth captured in all its wonderful madness, with just the right dash of satire mixed with a dollop of sentiment, teetering perilously on the rickety border between drama and kitsch, and landing magnificently on its feet to the satisfaction of everyone who sees it. More than this we probably cannot ask of a movie, as those who have so often come to disaster with more pretentious themes have learned to their woe. This is THE 'movie about movies'; by its very nature it feeds on its own subject matter and grows more indisputably classic with every passing year.

LOL.. Its the only goddamn movie that made to me to see it in REVERSE order ! Thats right , i was sittin with my mouth wide open after the movie ended !! And the thing i did next was to start from the end and went in reverse order and only then i understood the real essence of it ! Thank God , I din tread any of these teasers and never knew until i saw this movie that it had events in the reverse order , which i felt was even more intriguing than Tarantino's jumbled order of chronological events ! And like many i came to know of this movie only after i saw Gajini - its tamil remake ( cant say a remake , it jus took its plot of short term memory loss ) and am excited that Gajini is now being remade in Hindi with my man Aamir "The Ace" Khan !!! This is one movie that am waitin for this year !!! Also from the same director of Memento- Chrsitopher Nolan is coming the next installation of Batman - The Dark Knight (hyped for being the last movie of Late Heath Ledger, starring as the Joker) , and am pretty much excited bout that too , A must watch when it releases here in India !!

Hi hi hi !!! After a week long gap , am back to the IMDB top 250 !! Like the first 25 , hope i get thru the next 25 too in no time !! :) So coming to the first movie in this section , This FLick is a.k.a " The Daddy of all Adventure thrillers " !! Also its the third Alfred Hitchcock movie in the Top 250.. Although Psycho and Rear window were Suspense thrillers , here in this movie , its less suspense and more of action and adventure and also some KOOL Romance !! :) Although Suspense is Hitchcocks favt genre , he has handled even this adventure thriller pretty smoothly like his other "More famous" movies !!

IMDB review :

OK look, let me settle something between those who love and hate this film. A lot of people hail this film because it is technically brilliant and ground breaking. Director Orson Welles did a lot of things visually that no one had ever done before. Nearly every film maker was in some way influenced by this movie. This movie also had a great impact in its time. The title character was based on media giant William Randolph Hearst. He was that generations Donald Trump. He opposed this film so much he did everything in its power to stop its release and almost succeeded. Lastly this film contains some of the strongest and most common themes in literature; Life versus death. It is for these reasons why this film is so revered.

On the contrary people who hate this film mainly complain that it is boring. Which is a legitimate complaint. The story is slow compared to today's standards, and there is no real Hearst character alive today in which to relate. So yes, the story on the surface is outdated. However, this does not make it a bad movie. It was not made as a Matrix/Star Wars type of movie which can be enjoyed even at surface level. This is not pure entertainment. Remember there is more to film than storytelling. This film was designed to be cinematically beautiful and to tell a basic story of love and redemption. There is much more to the story than the thinly veiled attack on Hearst, one just needs to look deeper. Look at Shakespeare or Hawthorne for example, their literary works are universally loved. Yet, many people blow them off because they refuse to look past the outdated language into the beautiful prose and simple ubiquitous themes. Just because something is outdated does not mean it lacks worth in today's world.

My advice to those who did not like it the first time or have not seen it yet is simple. Watch it again for what it is. Do not expect to be on the edge of your seat for two hours. Watch it for the cinematography that alone makes this film among the best (I don't agree with AFI's number one ranking but I think it still ranks high). Look deeper into the story and try to connect with it on some level. At the very least appreciate how influential this film was and where the industry would be without it. If you can do this, then maybe some of the naysayers will change their minds. Again, you do not have to love Citizen Kane, but at least respect it for what it is.

HEre !!

Who can ever forget one of the most or even THE most favt villain of all times - Dr.Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lectar ?!! Well this is the movie the introduced him , though i din like the follow up sequel "Hannibal" like I loved this movie.. This is the only movie among the IMDB top 250 that i ve watched the most no. of times n i loved it each and every time ! I ve no age to tell bout Sir Hopkins' acting , But i should mention bout Jodie Fosters perfo ! Especially her accent :) I fell in love with it !! :)

The movie that revolutionised Modern cinema ! The movie that made Stanley Kubrick one of the best directors of all time ! The movie that gave "JAck D. Ripper" to the world ! Most of all , The movie that I have not yet seen !! Lol.. :)

The main reason that i have nt seen the movie yet is cos of the uneasiness that i got after i saw "A Clockwork Orange" again by Stanley Kubrick ! I was embarassed wen my dad stumbled upon me watchin that movie durin one of those Ultra-violent scenes (Thank God, Luckily he dint see me watchin those Nude scenes thats spread thrugh out the movie :) So i got some distaste for Mr.Kubricks movies and decided never to watch one again !!

But now as I just saw in IMDB , that this movie of his is rated just "PG" , Thank God , am gonna download it immediately n watch it at last !!! :)

Few say Fight Club is pretty much over rated ! Even i felt the same while watching this movie , until i landed up at the climax !! Man , What a TWIST !! It can only be Challenged by Psycho and the Sixth sense !! Other than the twist at the end , Credit also goes to BRad and Norton for the excellent perfos !! And for most part of it , it never looked like a David Fincher movie - i felt i was watching a Quentin tarantino flick !! :) Thats the sort of violence in this movie and so Kids , pls saty away from it :) !!

Torrent link for The Fight Club !

Here !!

One of my favt movies of all time ! And by IMDB's standards its much under rated , cos it deserved a even higher position !! As i told earlier that am even surprised to find it coming only after Rear window !! And the fact that its a great movie is shown from the fact , that its sequels Psycho II and Psycho III and the useless Psycho remake in the late 90's were not even close to creating the effect of the original - This only shows the greatness of one man - Alfred Hitchcock !!!

Torrent link for Psycho :

Here !!

Hmmm.. Some say its the most over-rated movie in the IMDB top 250 ! Well , i dont agree with it.. Although its inspired from lotta movies as ppl say , i still think its one heck of a masterpiece !! Leave alone the screen play and stuff ! This can be watched solely for the mere performances of its actors especially that of Stephen baldwin , Kevin spacey ,etc to name a few !! N few others say its not worth watchin more than once , since its a suspense thriller.. Bit it aint JUST a suspense thriller , its more than that for sure !!! Even alfred hitchcock would ve been proud of it !!

The first movie of the great trilogy ! When talking about The Return of the king , i said that it was the best of the three, which the Ratings themselves show ! But this does nt stay far behind ! Although this is the movie with the most "Talking" among the three , its the one which sets up the entire platform for a great intermediary and a climax , much like Star wars Episode IV.. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie ( the extended version ) which i even liked more than the normal one !! Am giving the link for the extended version only here !!

Well , Its the second "Wild west - cow boy - Bang-bang" movie on the Top 250 , after "The Good, the bad and the ugly" , again from the same film maker Sergio Leone ! Although i ve seen the latter , i still have nt seen this movie ! Am gonna download it tonight from the torrent am sharing wit u ! Anyway here i one of the reviews from IMDB itself !!

IMDB review :

The "fourth" and best of Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy, 'Once Upon A Time In The West' is a sprawling, operatic masterpiece of cinematography. The languid pacing only accentuates the meticulously presented scenes and the Ennio Morricone score is powerful, poignant and haunting. Each major character has his own musical theme. Henry Fonda's character has a menacing and jarring score which chills and thrills me every time I hear it (I bought the soundtrack too!). Fonda as Frank is the "coldest villain in screen history" as I have read in other reviews and was cast against type in this film. When the camera pans up into his passionless blue eyes early in the movie, one sees what a brilliant piece of casting it was to have him as the villain. This movie is a metaphor on the death of The Old West and the final word on how a (spaghetti) Western should be. Not to be missed!

Cidade de Deus better known as City of God , a Portugese movie describes the brutal way of life in suburban Brasil .. A movie that showed what the real situation in the "poor" Brazil is ! ( which until i saw this movie , was a land of Sexy-a$$ gals dancing Samba all night looong :) On the surface, in this context, City of God is a coming of age story of two young people , One character escapes from the "City of God" to lead a better life , while the other succumbs to it and meets its treacheries ! A particular thing that appealed to me , a die-hard Quentin fan was the Chapter format (like in Kill bill,Pulp fiction,etc) that was followed ! Anyway , a Must watch film for Movie - buffs ! The best Non-english Gangster flick ve seen !!

Although I din live in Era of the great Indi Jones trilogy of movies , I was a great fan of the books wen i was at school.. N i saw the Lost ark very recently ( few days before the release of Kingdom of Crystal skull) , N well to be frank , i din find any major difference between the two except that the first was made in a time wen no one knew bout CG and the other in the Ultimate Era of CG ! This jus goes to show the greatness of this movie !! Few scenes ( right from the strt wit the Boulder) made me wonder how on earth did these ppl made it possible !!

Here , i cant stop but to talk bout the latest one in the Indi series - The kingdom of crystal skull.. Well , I still cant understand why ppl , esp Ardent fans of Indi , does nt seem to like it and its IMDB rating are low as hell compared to the first 3.. To me personally , it was a great effort bringin Indi to be known to the younger generation and addin up the CG masala to this Great enterprise ! Well, i ve not seen the other 2 yet,may be if i see them , i may find some diff may be , Who knows :)

Goodfellas , better known as the movie for which Martin Scorcese was robbed of an Oscar ! :) Its the greatest mobster flick ever made ! Interestingly the second greatest according to me , The Departed finallyyyyy won Scorcese his due !! Although the movie does not have a great plot to boast about , its scor's screenplay and direction and the performances by the not-so lead roles , namely Liotta and Pesci that made this movie a classic ( Cos De niro's missin durin most of the movie :) This is one of the movies that i din need to download or rent ! Watched it one sunday afternoon on HBO or star movies , dunno which one :)

Although Psycho was Alfred Hitchcocks Ultimate movie as far as am concerned , it comes to me as a surprise that The Rear window is ahead of Psycho in the IMDB ratings !! The first major surprise in te IMDB top 250 !!!

This movie is a genius work of Alfred Hitchcock , whereby he brings in the audience ourselves as an actor playing a role in the movie , which can be the work of only this genius !! When the actors watch each other in the movie , its actually us who are made to watch those actors watchin the others ! Hard to understand aint it ?? :) Wel , thats wat u get wen u watch the movie deeply ! And another thing that lends solidarity to the movie is James Stewarts marvelous performance !! So do give it a try !

Download Rear Window !

The last of the trilogy comes as the best of the trilogy !! Peter Jackson has created an all-encompassing epic saga of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings books.I've never seen a series like this. A trilogy of movies created with such love and care and utter perfection of craft that you can't help but walk away and wonder how did Peter Jackson make this possible? I have always loved the original "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" series for their epic storytelling, and just for just fitting in as a great moment in cinema. This should be, will be, remembered with as much revered fondness for generations to come. They do not make films like these anymore.

As a stand alone film, it picks up immediately where "Two Towers" ends, so brush up before seeing it. I wanted to make sure everything in this film was done "right". And when it happened, it was. I will need to see this again to enjoy everything on a more casual level.

The cast comes through once more. The musical score retains its beauty, elegance and power. The special effects, notably Gollum again, are nothing less than breathtaking, and simply move the story along. The battles are monumentally huge and exciting. There are some liberties taken with the story, especially during the end with the homecoming, and yet, everything that needed to be covered regarding the main characters was handled. After the greatest moment of the series resolves itself, the story provided a breather. And gives a good-bye to friends seen on screen for the last three years.

One of the very few black & white movies that i ve watched !! A movie that inspired me to watch more hollywood classics !! It can just be described as a court room drama - or actually - Outside a courtroom drama ! Cos the action takes place only at the end of the jury ! 12 men get together to decide the fate of a young boy who has supposedly murdered his father ! At the beginin 11 outta 12 believe he s the murderer except for 1 person , who by the end , makes all the other 11 to accept that the boy cannot be declared as the murderer ! I ve never ever seen a screen play such as this ! Watch it to know it !!

This is the episode that started it all !! The Star wars enterprise which went on to be the No.1 trilogy of all time , may be next only to the The GodFather trilogy ! This was the movie that took us to teh world of the Skywalkers and Darth vaders ! Its still a puzzle for many on how a movie of this scale was made in the Seventies itself !! Like for many , even for me , the favt character of the movie was R2D2 !! :) Without further a due heres the best torrent that i found for the movie !!

Am not a great fan of Japanese movies apart from the Ringo, Grudge kinda japanese horror flicks until i saw this classic which made me more interested in Japanese cinema !! Well i got a life time oppurtunity of watching this movie on UTV world movies recently !! Man , What a movie !!
Akiro kurosawa , known one of the best film makers in the world has drafted this classic in sucha way that , in the days where there was no special effects , he has made a work of perfection and quality that even a modern film maker wd be proud of for its simple story and complex screen play!! This is one of the must-see movies on any movie buff's list !!! Only thing is the 3 and a half hour length which u can enjoyably sit thru !!
