...and we've moved !

Hi,

Firstly thank you everyone for following this blog. This blog is one of the four blogs that I write on. I had gone a bit inactive in between as I was living a very crucial part of my life and enjoying it to the fullest. And while I was doing that, I was also figuring out a way to merge all my blogs on one place and that’s when I found tumblr and fell in love with its simplistic interface. So therefore, I’ve imported all my four blogs on a single tumblr blog @ www.punkster101.tumblr.com

I shall be writing there from now on.

Hoping to see you there!

Cheers!

Django Unchained

Making it short. This movie is three things: Bad ass, Quentin Tarantino and Christoph Waltz. Watch it like an action movie, and you won't be disappointed.

My rating- 3/5

Holy Motors

Holy Motors is your “whatever-that-meant” art movie. It is not recommended for everyone. The abstract concept will be beyond the level of understanding for many.

But in case you do decide to watch this one, then you’ll never know what to expect and after the initial phase of making no sense, the movie will try to form a vague picture and keep maintaining it, till the very end.

By the end, you would have to sit and think about what you’ve seen and comprehend the vague messages that the movie suggests. Just the fact, that the movie leaves you thinking, makes it a successful “art” film.

Personally speaking, it’s an okayish film due to the fact that it’s not entirely abstract, and does give a certain sense of idea regarding its subject which is very unique.

My Rating- 2.5/5

PS- It’s a French movie. So make sure you’ve loaded up your subtitles. 

Misery

What can you say about movies that are based on novels by Stephen King (Who happens to be a God who writes, for me). King’s movies have plots that are so intriguing that you tend to ignore all other aspects of the movie, you just want to know the tale from beginning to end.

Misery is again, about an intriguing plot. The screenplay is very detailed, not much happens in terms of the setting of the story but since the plot is just too interesting, one just can’t help the curiosity which keeps you glued to the movie. Big ups to Kathy Bates for her role which also won her an Academy Award.

Watch this one, and be in awe at the immensely simplistic yet intriguing writing that this genius of a man Stephen King comes out with.

My Rating- 3/5

Argo

I've this phobia of watching movies with political connections, as there’s a lot of parallel thinking to do in order to get the connections of the depictions right. I was a bit hesitant to watch Argo for the same reason but then it got an Oscar and so I couldn't help myself.

And so, I’m blown away. The movie picks up pace from the very beginning. You remain there on the edge, till the very end, when you’re hanging by the very edge of your seat. The screenplay remains highly connected to the plot, there isn't a drag, or any unwanted emotional drama. It’s all right there, fast, cut-to-the chase and thrilling.

I say, commendable work by Ben Affleck as the director and the lead actor. I say, this one’s worth the time, a fast paced thrilling ride.

My Rating- 4/5
