Movies and I
Posted On Thursday, March 31, 2005 at at 11:53 AM by Bijesh(read a lot of movie related blogs in the last few days, hence this one. in case a movie post is mandatory in blogdom)
I am not a movie addict! I watch less than 5 movies in a month, most of them on HBO or Star Movies. So I am not even a regular movie-goer or watcher. Yet, there are a few movies or parts of them that I've liked and wouldn't mind watching over and over again. A few of these are listed here.
Forrest Gump :-
A completely down-to-earth movie. Nothing spectacular but its simplicity enraptured me. Tom Hanks is fantastic in the movie.
Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2 :-
Pulp. Loved the unique narration and cinematography. Fascinating work.
Aladdin :-
Excellent animated movie. Must be the one that made the animation genre mainstream. Great music as well.
Dennis the menace :-
Have been a Dennis fan for long. The movie was an absolute laughalympics. The kid was brilliant and Walter Matthau the perfect grumpy Mr. Wilson.
The Pianist :-
Heart-wrencing true story of a pianist - Wladyslaw Szpilman- caught in the holocaust. Adrien Brody's rendition was inch perfect. Hugely depressing movie, but excellent in all aspects.
E.T. :-
Steven Speilberg. Do you need to say more? Yep, Drew Barrymore. I would watch the movie a hundred times to watch the brilliantly cute li'l Barrymore in the movie. And ofcourse for E.T. , too. "E.T. phone home..."
The Fast and the Furious :-
For the cars, especially Vin Diesel's 9-sec Mustang (was that a Mustang?). And the really cool way the cars were used in the heists. Only for the thrills.
Mission Impossible 2 :-
Only for the final bike chase sequence. Mind blowing, typical John woo.
Broken Arrow :-
Classical John Woo action movie. Ultra-cool Travolta.
The Matrix :-
Confusingly good sci-fi movie. Only for sci-fi buffs.
Shrek :-
Brilliant facial animations. The donkey (eddie murphy) rules. "Are we there yet?"
There must be a few more hidden in the cob-webbed sections of my brain. Will jot them as and when they choose to show themselves.
