Oblivion (2013)
Skip IT
This is just a start. It seems nowadays Hollywood has set up a production line for post apocalypse movies with every other movies almost following the same story and a super star. And the philosophy is simple, Blitzkrieg marketing and some high graphical presentation. No ones give a damn about story. I think they just want to en cash the movie in the first week of release. Seems like world is going to end in few months...probably by end of Summer by looking at the release calendar :( AS name suggest I was in total state of Oblivion while watching this movie. It's a story of two person trying to extract earth resource to keep their world functional until they realize they are just serving aliens to steal earth resources. Also there is a underground communities of human being living as some creatures headed by Morgan Freeman. Movie has few moments but otherwise this is a totally flat movie with hardly any twists. Tom Cruise doesn't look interested in the role and looks too old. Morgan Freeman has very miniscule role and disappears even before you can notice. Rest all cast is forgettable.
I think you can give it a miss and instead spend that time doing your favorite activity.
The Elephant Man (1980)
A typical David Lynch Tale
This was on my watch list for long time and last weekend finally got the time to see this heart touching story.
Movie tells us the story of heavily disfigured man & his sufferings and how one man struggle to rescue this person and make a name for himself. But still few questions are left unanswered at the end of the story.
Screenplay is crisp and movie moves swiftly. There are few loopholes in the story and few character are not clearly defined e.g. Mr. Treves motive to save elephant man is not clearly defined.
Anthony Hopkins is good in surgeon role. In spite of heavy makeup John has delivered an excellent performance and his body language reflects his emotion. Watch the scene between him and the crowd on railway platform.
Overall a good watch and worth your time.
Drive (2011)
A Beautiful Tragic Tale
This is my first review and was always wondering which will be the 1st lucky movie. Even in my wildest dream I never thought it will be Ryan Gosling movie and a director who I never heard of.
But after watching this poetic tale I am in complete awe of Ryan and Nicholas. Everything is perfect from Actors, direction, sound, cinematography and above all the story telling. Just watch the lift scene between Ryan, Carey & one villain and you will realize what I am talking about.
Ryan has given once in a lifetime performance and kudos to his acting skills. Now all his movies are in my watch list and I have already completed half of them. Carey is lovely and enact her part perfectly.
But the real start here is Nicholas and the screenplay. Story never slips for a second and direction is top of the class. Legend in making.
For me this is the Best movie of 2011 and one of top 5 best movie of Last 5 years.
