Mulholland Dr. (2001)
World will be a much better place if this movie is rated highest and grossed the most unlike Titanic but alas ....
Only a few 9 in my list of movies since this is one of those movies where you can only appreciate its genius only after you know what its all about which some would argue as the case with every movie but this movie sets apart because its David Lynch so it takes a while to understand why he made this movie and not to mention that everybody has a valid different reason on why he made it !! That makes it a genius work of Art like the Bible of Movies or Quran of Movies or the Torah of Movies. Yup i said it. This movie sets the bar for every work of Art created since the space time point of the big bang. You think i am over-rating the movie, well maybe but it is that good given after the fact that you have formed and opinion on why David Lynch made this movie!
The Tortured (2010)
A nice parallel to the universal debate of torture and justice!
I like to think of myself as one of those viewer of movie who does not give a 8 very often to any movie and does not write reviews also but this movie and its review on IMDb warrants a review.
If i were to divide different aspects or factors in giving movies points to rate then they would be direction, production, acting, writing, screenplay, script and soul(! i.e. reason the movie was made).
Anyway this movie direction is bordering on fair to OK, same for production. Acting is poor. Script is bordering on poor to fair. Same for writing and screenplay then why an 8? Well the soul or the reason for the movie. The movie is a parallel to current justice system and universal debate on torture. It draws a parallel to how US and other government torture people etc etc and the twist in the end is a worthy argument if what most of us perceive torture is shady!? I think everybody needs to see this movie with that argument in mind.
Fantastic Four (2005)
If you read the comics and were a fan then this is excellent for you
Most people just liked SIN CITY because of its darkness of characters and darkness attracts, i liked SIN CITY because it was true to the original comic books and therefore was an excellent experience for me to recall the memories from the previous years as it were.
Same here for fantastic four , the original comic book was not dark, it was not rationale but it was foolish, fun, witty, interesting for a kid's mind and therefore i am a fan of this comic series. The movie was also quite true to the original, except that they should have casted a woman to play incredible woman instead of ALBA, rest was pretty fun to watch given you have read the original comic series.
Sin City (2005)
pure, genius direction
A lot of other people have adapted millers character but watching SIN CITY is watching his amazing creation, SIN CITY come to life, and to commend the excellent editing , story telling, acting etc , i would just say that this is direction at its best. A PURE, GENIUS direction.
If you really wanna enjoy the movie for what it is and if you haven't read the SIN CITY comics, see the movie , then read the 7 books and then see it again , you will be blown away by it.
Watching the movie without reading the comics, i guess would still be fun if you enjoyed once upon a time in Mexico, kill bill , reservoir dogs and of course pulp fiction and others of this genre.
i give it a 8/10 for what it is .. an excellent transformation of a nice comic.
Inteha (1999)
Its better if we categorize these movies as pure fiction
It is a continuity of all the Pakistani movies which are only based on earning money by giving the illiterate and sexually frustrated mind of poor Pakistanis some scenes of slight obscenity and fictitious environment i.e. not existent in Pakistan(by the standard of Pakistani community, of course it is not as obscene as the least obscene Hollywood movie) Its a shame to see people of scholastic background like this director also tending towards the theme of making total crap( take the true meaning of crap and not a slang) just like all bollywood movies (yeah i am talking about Indian crap what they proudly called movies).
Neither in India nor Pakistan people have learned that movies can be used to educate and open up minds of the public also towards a positive approach rather then using it to earn money and pushing the people in more darkness as being done for the last few decades.
