Finally new updates

JUst some quick rating of movies I had watched recently, being freaking busy for last 2 months and alot of things going through my mind. And for that i missed some major summer blockbusters like Transformers 2, Harry Porter and Ternimator Salvation, I hate myself for that. Will give more detailed ratings soon,

Movies

District 9 - 4/5 - I thought it was a freaking good original movie directed by a person who is only 29 and had never make a feature movie before. Too bad the third act of the movie was abit too long and the actions keep going on and on.

Up - 4/5 - I watched this in 3D which I hated which generally deducted 0.25 out of it. But the first half an hour of the movie was genius work and it shows why Pixar is still the motherfucking queen of animation.

The Hangover - 4/5 - Putting Tyson and his tiger in the most hilarious movie i had watched in recent years. It makes me want to buy a ticket to Las Vegas the very minute after watching it.

Public Enemies 2.5/5 - A very disappointing movie from a great director Michael Mann and everybody favourite Johnny Depp, too much like American Gangster, only much more boring then that.

Drag Me to Hell 3.5/5 - Sam Raimi of Spiderman went back to his horror roots and it brings out enough laughs n scare to satisfy my first movie fo a while.

DVDs

Departures - 3/5 - I thought this was really disappointing for a movie that won the Oscar for Best Foreign movie. It was only soso for me and not as touching as everybody had said. I don't really like the male main lead which I feel his "commercially J idol drama" acting method deducts points for the movie. Overly pretendious and trying more to look suave n good on screen then bringing in the drama emotions in.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall - 3.75/5 This is so freaking hilarious, Russell Brand is so funny that it overshadow the supposely lead Jason Segel in the movie. ANd the 2 female leads in the movies are really cute too.

I Love You Man - 3.5/5 Another bromance movie, not as funny but i thought it was not bad.

Look - 3/5 - An interesting indie movie shot in the point of views of surveillances cameras, you dunno who are watchinbg you...

Crank - 3/5 This movie is really nonsensical but in a good sort of way. The plot is ridiculous but watched it for the edgy editing and camera movements.

Bedtime Stories - 2/5 Adam Sandler one of my favourite comedic actor recent movies is getting from bad to worse. This is really some real boring piece of crap for children below 8. Hope his Funny People will be real good before i give up hope on him.
