Doll Master ( 2004 ) Korean

Doll Master ( Korean ) :-

Every Doll has a soul and when it stays with a master for long , it creates a close bond between them which even a death cannot separate...!!! We seen so many movies like Chucky , Gingerdead Man , germlins etc...based on Dolls but this movie is kinda completely different...!!! When a doll is orphaned by the master , there is high chances that the Despair doll can avenge her master for his\her action and this movie is one such kind..!! Movie starts off very slow but as through its run-time it picks up the scare factor and at one point it is spine chilling to the core.More then a horror movie i would call this as a Thriller . Felt similar to House of Wax though. Worth a watch

Legend of Hercules ( 2014 )

Legend of Hercules ( 2014 )

One of my favorite stories spoiled by worst casting totally shattered and smacked. Irritating to see the way lead characters performed and there is no one good thing about this movie apart from one or two visual effects scenes during fights. Seems they still haven't learned anything from Gladiator or troy or 300 or whatever...... Sad to see so much money wasted on these films with no directional value .Clash of titans is far better.... Total time waste

Acacia ( 2003 ) Korean

Acacia ( 2003 ) Korean :-

A very slow paced but creepy Horror movie ..!! Complete movie revolves around a tree and this is one good example how a horror movie can be made in much simple style with no ghosts or showoffs yet with full intensity and spine chilling moments.
.
While watching this film , i kept on having a nostalgic feel of watching the similar scenes with similar concept somewhere else...!! Though the ending is much twisted but to my shocking there was already a similar kind of movie which released in Telugu in 1996 itself followed by re-release in Tamil and i guess in Hindi too... This Korean version might have given some own touch to it..but the core plot and most of scenes like the dead people coming alive , the tree and people around it...that Paintings with a family where in its not there in Korean version..but when u watch it closely you would definitely find many similarities..

Yaaa and that movie name is RGV's DEYYAM ( 1996 ) of JD Chakravarthy and in Tamil Pei i guess.....Just give it a try and analyze yourself....But if you haven't watched above indian movies , for sure you would like ACACIA to the core for its concept...!! Worth watching....

Them ( 2006 ) - " iLs" (Romanian)

Them ( 2006 ) - " iLs" (Romanian)

" We just want to play! Why won't you ley us? Let us! Will you let us? "

First catching thing from this movie is that this is based on true incidents. As movie starts with a road side accidents and events following it , we will be left clueless if this is a horror story or a perfect thriller . But as it unfolds when story revolves around a teacher Clementine and his boyfriend Lucas who live in a villa on a remote village near Buharest. Their normal life takes a turn in just one night when strange events start to occur in their home . From then on it becomes a hide and seek from the entity with their own life at stake.

Whats best about this movie is its suspense element supported by haunting sound effects and every frame will be spine chilling for sure. It will be a surprise at the end to see what those entity are and would be more shocking to know that these incidents happened in real time. This is for sure one good thriller not to be missed. Have fun and get thrilled....

13 Sins ( 2014 ) - " Anyone can be made into a monster "

Purge ( 2013 )

Purge ( 2013 ) - " One Night a Year, Nothing Is Illegal "

Never expected to see movie with such a plot and a very rare concept. Movie kick-starts immediately as soon as the title card ends and that's where it would start to hook you upto it. What if one day in a year , people are given freedom to kill anyone where all crime is legal for 12 hours of that day from 7pm till 7am which is called Purge. Whatever happens during that time will be out of any crime records and there will be no emergency services available during this 12 hours . Only way people keep them-self safe from purge is to secure their home with security equipments and safety weapons. The important thing is that people welcome this Purge as some festival so they could keep their anger , revenge , grudge on hold within them-self till this moment arrives and because of which they feel crime rate has drastically reduced.

This movie revolves around James sandin family who made a great fortune selling Security equipments and stays as a white collar between many riches. But to some socking , on the day of purge his family becomes target of this event and how James saves his family from this purge killers becomes rest of the story. What matters is how they captured every scene as if injecting fear into us slowly. Definitely one of finest thrillers out there and its so engaging throughout. If you liked "You're Next " sure you will like this too...Dont miss it.

Legend ( 2014 ) Telugu

Legend ( 2014 ) Telugu :-

Movie directed by Boyapati Srinu starring Nandamuri Balakrishna in it .Just had a chance to watch this film in theater .Lets quickly go to cons and pros of the film.

Cons :-
=====

1) First drawback which you might immediately notice is number of songs placed every 15 min interval which is too taxing.
2) Music was way too horrible and noisy. Not a good one from Devi Sri Prasad. Total waste OST's
3) A usual way of movie opening which been followed by tollywood century after century with no new tries. Very routine.
4) Considering the age , Balakrishna did try hard for dance steps but was worst at every song , choreo totally sucks
5) Normally there will be some illogical or unreal scenes in most of balaiyas film and even this movie is not a exception. Though the first character gets shot by a Shotgun , still that said there are no bullets or guns which can hit balaya's. Even people have guns they dont use against him and rather they will come running to him to fight and get killed. This seem a never changing logic in his films. Just reminded of Captains movie's :)
6) The important lead old lady character didnot give enough impact to the movie .
7) Political propaganda can be noticed every where in the movie . It was a clear agenda and a indirect message to the audience.Many dialogues supports that.
8) Most of the punch dialogues are on english. Some didnot seem that real and not mingle well with the movie.
9) Logic skips are there for sure at many places.

Pros :-
=====

1) Whatever people make fun of his films , there is none who can really deliver dialogues like Balakrishna.This movie is a lions roar and it was Balaiyaa all the way. Such a powerful acting from start to end. Full of energy.
2) Mass dialogues everywhere giving complete goosebumps. Powerful for this movie
3) Few stunts were excellently captured and especially the action sequence before intermission was shot like 300 Fight scene.
4) Second half when the second main character is introduced as Jaidev was the best this movie had. His outlook was damn cool with a OM tattoo in his neck was very new and stylish . His fierce action and his dialogue delivery would attract you in second half.
5) Jagapathi Babu gave a equally stunning performance and deserves a applause too.
6) There are so many goosebumps scenes like the first fight & dialogue when Krishna comes from Dubai to india or when Jaidev meets Central minister for talks & says a small train story example or when he goes into to Jagapathi babu home when he gets released in bail and even that action sequence in railway station lines we are powerful and massive.
7) Background music was equally dazzling and perfectly supporting such a powerful character.

Overall : This movie is for mainstream audience only , those who want to watch movie for entertainment can sure enjoy this film a lot. This was yet again a promising performance next to his super-hit movie SIMHA and we can even say this as SIMHA 2 for his powerful script and storyline. Screenplay was damn cool except those unwanted song tracks everywhere , it was still engaging. Definitely it will be a virtual treat for Balaiyya fans for sure and for his followers who want him into a political party. Seeing this film , we never know if that could be a possibility even. Keeping that aside , its sure a decent film from him .Caution : Donot go with huge expectation and get yourself into a huge disappointment , its a tailor made for mass audience and its no different from other balaiya movies surrounding faction and violence. That said a good entertainer for sure. A Average movie worth for money. Give it a try at your own risk.

Snow-piercer ( 2013 )

Snowpiercer - "Take this ride and have Once in a life time experience"

Movie was damn fascinating and riveting with such a intriguing unique plot . We have only handful of movies revolving around Dystopian era and this would sure stay among top five best in my list. End of world due to actions taken against global warming and the only or the last hope for mankind is this fully equipped Train called " Snow-piercer " and about the life of people inside this train . They are divided as upper class people in front section and lower class people in tail section. A revolution sparks among both these classes and what follows after that makes a pitch perfect story for such a classy movie.

The first thing which would capture our eyes immediately is its stunning visuals and damn charismatic. Its this cinematography which stands upfront where the lead characters like Chris Evans, Ed Harris are all overshadowed by this dazzling visuals . As revolution begins and they start to move from one compartment to the other from tail section , we might start to feel the nostalgia , the joy as if we are playing xbox moving one level after the after. Actions were cool ,stylish and highly charged but yet was insightful to see what each compartment holds keep our expectation high all the time like water compartment , aquarium , meat storage , school , pool , sushi counter , discotheque and so on which were just comical giving us a fantasy feel.....Its a whole world out there in one single train at a stretch. Though that said i am not completely satisfied with the ending as i expected somewhat more intense one or say a bit logical one but was too cliche ridden. Fusing the train and killing the only survivors remaining in earth is sad and kind of unacceptable. Yet that said it was a different ending and Gillion-Wilford partnership was a surprise , a unexpected twist for sure.

I been a fan of Joon-ho Bong from the day i started to watch his films like memories of murder , mother , host etc..and being his first movie in English i must say he didn't let down this time too proving his talent yet again. Entire film in just a train is cool and amazing. I do wait for Noah movie too which relates to doomsday and this is sure a virtual treat for fans who like such kind of Dystopian movies or Doomsday movies. This movie is pure fun and not to be missed. Just take the ride and enjoy the show while this super fast killer pierce the snow mercilessly. Have fun watching.

Trivia : This is based on the French graphic novel "Le Transperceneige". Director Joon-ho Bong discovered the comic in late 2004 during pre-production of The Host (2006), and was fascinated by the concept of people struggling on the train for survival. The drawings in the tail section of Snowpiercer were illustrated by Jean-Marc Rochette, the original comic artist of the graphic novel Le Transperceneige.

Das Letzte Schweigen - German ( 2010 ) The Silence

Das Letzte Schweigen - German ( 2010 ) The Silence :-

A Perfect slow paced Crime investigation thriller in lines of The Hunt , Prisoners . This movie is about a Pedophile Murderer killing a innocent girl during 80's while his friend help him to cover up the murder. And after 23 years how those incidents comes back in life to haunt them forms the core plot of the story.

Banshee fame Procter (a) Ulrich Thomsen does a main character in this film and Timo Friedrich as his friend . The most interesting thing in this movie is how they swindle the characters in this film keeping us guessing at every turn and the most catching point at the end is that conclusion is left to viewers discretion . Its quiet puzzling though we might think that the murderer all points to one person at the last but still make you feel that there are chances that the actual murderer is someone else which could be even the mother of first victim for being the reason the second murder was not similar as the first in case of a pedophile involvement. Also how Timo suffers with Guilt through his years of survival and still his obsession towards the video's is well captured. A Very nice thriller movie not to be missed and enjoy decoding yourself with the conclusion.

Keith ( 2008 )

Keith ( 2008 )
The First thing which would immediately strike you is that mind blowing BGM Score throughout the movie and it just would feel fantastic. This is a altered version of " A walk to remember " movie with some minor changes and this is all about love between Keith and Natalie. At first for some point of time , we would be so angry with the way Keith was behaving until the last few minutes before the ending were everything is revealed giving us a bit of relief. Having said that Natalie had gone through so much of pain due to Keith behavior but he had his own reason to push her way which was understandable. Though these reasons and Keith weird behavior couldn't convince me , yet this movie had many feel good moments and sure can enjoy watching especially with Stunning BGM's throughout. . Dont miss it , its worth watching once.

Natalie: I don't... I don't care where you're gonna be next year. I don't care if you're crazy. God, I just know I wanna be with you. I don't understand what you're doing. It seems so pointless, I mean everything... It just seems pointless but when I'm with you it's different. I don't know why.

Keith: Wake up, Natalie. Don't you see what happened here? You had a beautiful life, and I had shit. I hated your guts. I wanted to take you down, I wanted to make you as miserable as I am, and that is exactly what I did. Now, how's that for a goodbye?

Natalie: Pretty lame.

Keith: Face it, Anderson, I screwed you. I screwed you big time.

Natalie: So you screwed me. So what? Me? I made love to you.

Keith: I had it all figured out, so I cut out a little early? Who cares? It's probably a good thing. Life sucks, anyway. Then I met you, and it got weird. And you were so amazing. And I...

Natalie: What? What?

Keith: I just wanted a little more time. So all in all, I'd say you're the worst thing that's ever happened to me. Goodbye, partner.

Natalie: I'm staying with you until you leave. I don't care how long we have. Get that through your thick skull, will you.

To Save a Life ( 2009 )

To Save a Life ( 2009 )

A movie which i picked randomly to watch and yaa feels not a bad choice made. Its about life of a college guy Jake Taylor who is also a well known athlete and how his life changes totally different when his close childhood friend commits suicide in-front of him while he stood their helpless. This incident shattered him totally as he started to repent for his close friends death for not being with him when he actually needed . This Movie starts with lot of fun , beer n parties but slowly it changes to a humanitarian mission to save life of people who are in need of desperate help. This leads Jake to attend community services in nearby church and also attending youth club meetings whom they call them-self Souled Out. Movie has lot of feel good things in it , has lot of positive vibes and inspiring things to take but that said if the director would have prevented this movie to be some Religious based one focusing on Christianity and God speeches , it would have been far more better. Apart from it , this movie can be watched once to feel love , friendship , pain , remorse , redemption etc..!! For me its a normal average movie can be tried once if there are no other movies to watch.

Dont Be Afraid of the Dark ( 2010 )

Dont Be Afraid of the Dark ( 2010 )
A Version remake of original Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (1973) movie .Not sure how i missed such a remarkable movie so long . Guillermo del toro yet again proved that he is king of monsters creation and his uniqueness in story handling yet again impressed me a lot. Though he didnt direct it yet we can see GDT's touch at every frame of this film and his spectacular work can be noticed at every scene .

Its not easy to mix fantasy subject with horror and present it as a thriller and not sure how GDT's writings or creations can do that so easily and equal credits goes to director Troy as well. Movie jump-starts quickly as it donot waste time with too much unwanted flashbacks and as movie starts to travel our heart beat would keep rising. This movie is totally about some small dangerous creatures arise from deep down the earth and how a family struggle to survive when these creates surface to the real world.

Whats so capturing about this movie is that it would travel as if we are reading a story book and imaging a life in wonderland , such a way this movies cinematography was done giving us a fairy tale feel. Especially that old house settings , secret basements , unexplored spaces, antique look all adds up to the movie building tension and fear on audience mind as if you are lurking through the house yourself. Though at the end i felt there was some untied knots on the story but having said that as a story with a engaging screenplay , this movie sure would add-up to my best horror films collections , provided this movie wont fit to any one single genre. We have seen a similar film named When Darkness Falls with somewhat similar concept but that said this is GDT's masterwork. A nice horror film not to be missed. Watch it and have fun.

Trivia : Guillermo del Toro cameo apperance as a passenger on the plane behind Sally.

Love & Other Drugs (2010)

Love & Other Drugs (2010)

What stays between two like minded couples when sex is out of proportion considering it available anytime with just a pager away. What i liked most about this movie is how it started off with lust & sexual desires later turned out to be one hell of a romantic drama filled with love and love only. Jake Gyllenhaal ( as Jamie ) and Anne Hathaway ( Maggie ) both their acting was damn brilliant and portrayed their love stunningly well at later off , Anne Hathaway was a charm bubbly and was lovely in this movie . How much they made love between them as much they stayed together no matter what situations arise. Knowing Maggie suffering from Parkinson's disease , Jamie stood by her at all times while love blossomed slowly between them..

A weird relationship which started only on sex slowly changed to become love of their life was wonderfully captured. Maggie's choices towards her life , they way she wanted to live and reasons for her up-taking was clearly conveyed .At one point of time even viewers would agree , sympathize for her behavior understanding that as much she loved Jamie n wanted him in her life still she kept on pushing him away as she felt it injustice to spoil a persons life considering her disease which could lead to more drastic situation in later part of her life.

Movie had fun , romance , love and it is just a combo of everything which would easily capture our heart. The later half of the movie was stunning and will capture everyone's heart for sure. Especially the last scene when Jamie propose to Maggie asking her to be with him was a flamboyant scene in entire film and will touch every viewer for sure. Movie is definitely great and please don't get deceived by what title says..rather its more tender love within it. A movie not to be missed. Have fun
My fav quotes from the film :-

Jamie Randall: I'm full of shit, okay? No I'm... I'm *knowingly* full of shit. Because, uh... because uh, uh... I have... I have *never* cared about anybody or anything in my entire life. And the thing is, everybody just kind of accepted that. Like, "That's just Jamie." And then you!... Jesus. *You*. You. You didn't see me that way. I have never known anyone who actually believed that I was enough. Until I met you. And then you made me believe it, too. So, uh... unfortunately... I need you. And you need me.

Maggie Murdock: No I don't.

Jamie Randall: Yes you do.

Maggie Murdock: No I don't.

Jamie Randall: *Yes*, you do.

Maggie Murdock: Stop it, stop saying that.

Jamie Randall: You need someone to take care of you.

Maggie Murdock: No, I don't!

Jamie Randall: Everybody does.

Jamie Randall: Let's just say in some alternate universe, there's a couple just like us, okay? Only she's healthy and he's perfect. And their world is about how much they're going to spend on vacation or who's in a bad mood that day, or whether they feel guilty about having a cleaning lady. I don't want to be those people. I want us. You. This.

Jamie Randall: [Last lines] I used to worry a lot about who I'd be when I grew up. You know, like how much money I'd make or, umm, like some day I'd become some big deal. Sometimes, the thing you want most doesn't happen. And sometimes, the thing you never expect does. Like giving up my job in Chicago and everything and deciding to stay and apply to med school. I don't know. You meet thousands of people and none of them really touch you. And then you meet one person and your life is changed... forever.
