The Redcafe Movie review thread

mehro · 14th July 2007, 22:47

I've seen 1947 Earth and teen Deewarein. They don't compare to the old stuff.

I forgot about Shakti. That'd be some where in my top 5 too.

There was a movie with Raj Kaporr in black white where he plays a very poor man , I think it was called Jagte Raho

Really tough to decide I have watched loads of movie from 70s and 80s but can't remember their names.....

Just watched Page 3 tonite, though it was good but a bit too obvious as in could have been more subtle .

I like Andaz Apna Apna but imo it doesn't quite match the brilliance of some old comedies like Chupke Chupke.

Salvation · 14th July 2007, 22:49

I find the case to be completely contrary

The only movies that you mention of your age that I liked was Akhree Rasta. The rest so called classic, Sholay and the lot were just cringeworthy and gay

Salvation · 14th July 2007, 22:50

And Golmaal

mehro · 14th July 2007, 22:53

You just mentioned earlier that you haven't even seen them. Akhree rasta was rubbish compared to the ones I've mentioned.

Jaane bhi do yaaro was another good one.

Watch those movies before forming an opinion. They're on TV all the time.

mehro · 14th July 2007, 22:55

And they aren't of my age. I'm only 23.

I just happened to have seen a lot of movies.

Salvation · 14th July 2007, 22:56

I've seen most of the classics, Don, Amar Akbar Anthony, Chupke Chupke, etc and whatever I've seen I found them to be rubbish

mehro · 14th July 2007, 23:00

You didn't think Chupke Chupke was funny?

And I haven't mentioned any of the others. Those aren't classics. They are masala movies. Like the Akshay Kumar movies of today.

Salvation · 14th July 2007, 23:02

Nope. Mainly cos I can't stand Dharmendra and Amitabh in that geeky looked felt like one to be shot

Salvation · 14th July 2007, 23:06

Oh, and Black Friday would make my list

mehro · 14th July 2007, 23:08

Nothing special about Black Friday. A very mediocre movie over all.

Salvation · 14th July 2007, 23:35

'twas excellent. Gave perspective to things, excellent characterisation coupled with very good screenplay

You're gay Mehro

mehro · 14th July 2007, 23:40

You've been watching too many rubbish movies. Black Friday had some horrible actors, the screenplay was shite.

Watch the movies I have mentioned. You can thank me later.

Salvation · 14th July 2007, 23:42

Feck off mehro, the casting too fitted perfectly

I might watch Deewar someday

Salvation · 14th July 2007, 23:43

Black Friday has an 8.9 on IMDB, possibly the highest rating for a Hindi movie

mehro · 14th July 2007, 23:49

IMDB ratings for Hindi movies. You've got to be kidding. Every movie had like 500 votes all of which are probably biased.

Salvation · 14th July 2007, 23:54

Aside from that, I have vouched for it, which should be more than enough

mehro · 15th July 2007, 00:00

If you like to go by IMDB ratings then you'll surely enjoy the movies I have listed. They all have a rating of 8.5 or more.

Salvation · 15th July 2007, 00:08

See, none more than Black Friday

I don't need opinions, just that another minor thing to vouch for my glorious choice

mehro · 15th July 2007, 00:22

I don't care about Black Friday or if you think it's better. i'm just saying that don't reject old movies before seeing them. There are some gems out there. Movies actually had decent plots back then.

Abhimaan's the story of a man jealous of his wife's success.

Deewar's the story of 2 brothers pitted against each other.

Teesri Manzil is the best suspense thriller I have seen amongst all Hindi movies. Jewel Thief was pretty good too but I don't like Dev Anand.

Majboor is another one. A man learns he has brain tumour. He has an aging mother, a kid brother and a crippled sister. He knows he must do something to make sure they lead comfortable lives after he dies.

I could go on with Shakti, Silsila, etc.

Spammy · 15th July 2007, 01:37

Man On Fire.

Now whats funny, at least to me, is that I knew nothing of this film when I sat down to watch it. Yet within about 90 seconds (no exaggeration), I knew Tony Scott was the director.

His fucking nauseating and trashy way of overstylising every single element of his films, completely ruins what may or may not have been a decent watch. I couldn't tell you if it is any good to be honest, I was too busy throwing up in a nearby and necessary sick bucket. There was some decent acting in it, some engaging moments, but just when it looked like he had a decent shot, he goes and ruins it with some jump cutting or ridiculous camera trickery. Why the fuck do studio execs. green light him for any films at all? If I had one of my screenplays bought by a studio, I would take my own life if they gave it to Tony fucking Scott.

Other than that Radha Mitchell is fit, I'd definitely stick her one in the pooper.

Have neither of you seen 3 Teewarein?

I have seen 3 Deewarien, one with Juhi, Jacki and Shah right?

I liked it but that's it really.

It's quality, as slapstick is may be, I can watch it hundred times in a row and still laugh. Chupke Chupke is a classic indeed and I forgot about Jane Bhi do Yarro. That would defy make my top 5 as well.

I don't believe you.

Spoonov · 15th July 2007, 13:13

She's nasty. I hate everything about her.

Spammy · 15th July 2007, 13:22

Hmm, I think she's rather tasty, I still think you'd do her, you're just denying it to yourself.

Anyways, have you seen Man On Fire? What did you think of it you cnut?

Spoonov · 15th July 2007, 13:28

Not seen it, Spamms.

Topic on Requiem for a Dream in the Gen. What did you think of this film? Personally, I thought it was hyperbolic crap. Talk about being manipulated emotionally. Aronofksy told us that drugs are bad and that you'll most likely end up dying in some awful way after taking them. Nice one Aronosky, you clearly are a tool. Prentious bollocks really, could've easily been commissioned by the Chrisitian Right in the US.

Film clearly for the MTV generation. Fuck off.

Spammy · 15th July 2007, 13:34

Nah not seen it, was really looking forward to watching it until you said that. I don't really rate Trainspotting though.

Spoonov · 15th July 2007, 13:37

It was very stylish. . . like a hip MTV video. Oh and expect to feel suicidal at the end, when he starts fucking about with your emotions.

Very cheap.

Salvation · 15th July 2007, 15:40

I thought the story of the bloke's mother was good. Aside from that I found it pretty decent. Nothing much into it

Salvation · 15th July 2007, 15:42

It is an adaptation innit? So perspective should be taken from those who have read the book. Saw Cold Mountain yesterday and it had a brilliant screenplay which makes you think the book would've been a well styled story. Casting and performances again is a matter of perspective from those who've read the book

mehro · 15th July 2007, 17:54

Man On fire - Shit

Requiem - Shit

Trainspotting - Good
