Twilight Breaking Dawn 2 - 6/10 - For some reason I don't hate Twilight as much as people do generally. It gets an unfair amount of criticism, partly because it's become a fad. I remember when it was 'cool' to hate Titanic too. Anyway, I really did HATE the first Twilight, but after that I've watched the rest with extremely low expectations, including the latest so it was somewhat bearable.

P.S I loved the ending of this movie. It was beautifully done, very moving. The end credits were extremely well done too. The ending shown in Breaking Dawn 2 is easily the highlight of the entire series.

P.P.S The visual effects were atrocious. I've honestly never seen more third rate visual/special effects in a Hollywood movie before.

Finally!. Finished it!. Hopefully, I presume, no more parts now?.

Ending fight really brought tears into my eyes :crying: . Thankfully, they didn't flow!.

Seven Psychopaths: Not as dark and witty as pulp fiction but dangerously close. Farrel was looking too small between giants like woody, sam and walken. And that was just gr8, that was fucking gr8, u know wat that is , u know wat.....

They tried to please both parties, i heard this whole thing they stirred doesn't actually happen in the book, so yeah they didthis own to just extend and make the final part a bit more exciting or else that whole gathering different clans etc part would had been a waste :p

THE SWEENY (2012)

Ray Winstone is a known "tough looker". Watching him on-screen, makes me realize i am watching something truly fantastic. And at his age, he delivers. Be it Dialogues in "Beowulf" or a beserk in "The Sweeny".

I never watch Trailers. I decide on the basis of "Cast" whether or not i'd watch a particular movie. And if i find even a single member worth watching (famous or not), I PROCEED with the download. This is exactly why i DO find plenty of "underrated" movies, which in reality are gems. (The Wedding Video for instance).

Anyway ... The two characters noteable, were Ray Winstone & Hayley Atwell (Anyone remember Peggy Carter? -- Elegant :looking:) 3rd one being a rapper (fo'reals), well ... he amazed me with his performance; Ben Drew as Officer George Carter. Cold Blooded voice & straight face acting ... just what movie demanded.

Story was straight forward, clear cases of "Robbers vs. Police". The slogan of the movie "Act like a Criminal, to Catch a Criminal" was perfectly suited for it. I liked the action sequences (except Car Chases), where slight touch of realism was added. (Gun Fights). With a ... satisfactory ending. (A little f*ckup in between, with the death of a crucial person <_< ... but nevermind that ... "<_<" -- i'm just kidding. I HATED IT)

It may be just another action movie, but it was an excellent one. I'd rate it 7/10 for the brilliance they put into it.

P.S. Anyone remember Top Gear Series 18's Episode 3? Where Hammond & Clarkson directed an Action Sequence, a Car Chase for a movie? Well ... i just found out it was for this one. ;) That was one helluva effort considering it was Clarkson & Hammond being the brains behind it. Maybe thats why i accepted it with an open mind.

Hotel Transylvania.................(8.5/10) watched in HD, a very nice animated flick, voice acting of Selena Gomez and Cee Lo Green were great, they even made fun of Twilight movie as well, LOL.

Wreck-It Ralph...................(9/10) watched in HD, boy this was one of the best animated movie I've ever seen! Great visuals and the character of Vanellope von Schweetz was so adorable!!

Painted skin 2 the resurrection: 8/10
an asian romance between demons and humans etc, very good movie IMO. touching at times, there was good action at times too. the movie would had been super'b if they just ended it half an hour before etc but they had to give it the usual bit of good ending stuff !


step up revolution: 6/10
some dance routines etc were good. i saw it only for the main girl coz i saw her in "SYTYCD" and since you know :mushy: yeah. anyways the last part with previous cast member etc making his cameo was good.


the watch: 6.5/10
I AM DISAPPOINTED :( wanted to get more out of this but not as funny as i thought it to be but still some parts were really good haha.
Spoiler: show

Twilight:Breaking Dawn Part 2
Hmmmm well never hated twilight like most people do but the series was never went beyond "SO SO". This part was best in the series in my opinion, the first hour or so was pretty lame but got a little better later on and the ending, I have to say, was really good. Still, overall the movie was Okay, time pass, nothing more.
6.5/10




Les Miserable.
The movie started out okay but then got really boring for me. Aside for a few good moments, the movie was really boring and an hour tooo long.
Acting and soundtrack was good though.
Don't get why its getting all the praise and nominations.
Not my cup of tea.
6.5/10



The ABC's of Death.

WTF!!
was this shit o_O

26 Alphabets, each given to 26 different directors around the world to choose a word and make a short movie about death in it, and they were given complete freedom.

Only a few were kinda good and one or two were pretty good. The rest were either tooo lame, too weird or just plain WRONG. Especially the Japanese ones, man the JAPS come up with some really twisted and plain out WTF!! stuff.
Seriously, the level of WTFNESS in this whole movie was through the roof.

If you really wanna experience what true WTF!!! feels like, then definitely watch this movie.
5/10

It was his character like that farrel is on same level of sam rock well these guys can play any kind of role in fact colin has little edge over him.

OK Not bad, Acting was really good and Jenniffer Lawrenece is pretty awesome, I understand why some people like her so much.

Spoiler: show
But I have to say that heppy ending really got me down, Movies continue to delude people into thinking that everything will turn out great even though in reality that doesn't happen very often.


But I can't pin it all on this film since this has been happening since the beginning.Anyways, I enjoyed watching it alot. (y)

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
