by order of seeing

127 hrs
----------
genre :: drama/adventure

i had liked danny boyles the slumdog millionaire a lot. and felt it was the most deserving oscar favorite in the year of its release , though i culd never digest A.R rahman gettin the music honours for somethin very ordinary from him. But i dint have the same expectation 2wards 127 hrs as the former because of the b4hand knowledge that this is a true story biopic of how a man survived 127 hrs with his hand stuck in a boulder in some hill, all on his own. how can the director make an entertaining viewing out of this very thin module. all this doubts were washed out as i watched the movie . the director suceeds in puttin the audience through the same tention and spills of the protaganist (the man who gets stuck) . there are very few characters in the movie (actualy only d protagonist) . lots of flashbacks as he fights for survival. his fight for survival itself is very neatly picturised. and a nerve bitting climax. kudos to the director and his team . the hero has given a mindblowin performance and the real hero is the man who actualy did this in real. the guy who survived 127 hrs with his hand stuck in a boulder.

rating :: 8/10 ... nerve biting biopic on the fight for survival when everthing is lost !!


the black swan
--------------------

thriller genre movie. a pschyotic thriller. the plot is the protaganist, a wannabe balerina queen (the best balerina in the troupe), played by natalie portman , gettin caught in a quest for exceling her ballae skills in giving the best ballae performance possible by playing the good swan role with the evil black swan role (wich she finds hard to digest and perform). the movie is her strugle to perfect playing the black swan (wich needs her to portray a seductress, evil body language , the direct opposite to her own persona in real life ). there are some strong characters who influence her life and performance , from her mother to her dance tutor and an another gal in the ballae troupe played by mila kunis. natalie portman gives an oscar best actress performance . its an highly emotional performance with lots of struggle ,,pain and confusion and desperation . a sure oscar win for the best actress. also kudos to the director and script writer is neatly executing a very difficult thread/theme.

rating 8/10 ... thrillin ,,,
recomended audience :: its not a purely entertaining thriller . its like a movie wich focuses on her struggle to become the black swan. watch it with that mood and u ll enjoy this movie !!


the fighter ::
---------------
genre :: drama/action(15%)

again a real life story of a boxer , coached by his own elder brother ,who was a flop boxer during his good days due to his wild habits(drugs,,gals etc etc). mark walberg plays the boxer and christain bale plays his brother coach .and maan this guy (bale ,last seen in the batman movie) is ultra thin in this movie . its perfect for the movie with him playin a total loser in his career and life with his only goal is to train his brother to be the best boxer in the world , somethin wich he wanted to do for himself but failed . the movie reflects the life ,,drama and the bonding b/w these 2 guys . whether the fighter reaches his and his brothers goal of being the best boxer in the world under his brothers coachin. there comes a point when the protagonist needs to make a choice b/w his career ,wich was goin down the drain , or his brother , a man who trained him from his kid days but has become a real spoilt brat due to his wild habits. christain bale gives in a superb performance , as a person caught b/w a guy who wants to train his brother to a star and as another caught in all the bad addictions the world as seen . mark walberg gives a good one aswell but is overshadowed by bale.

rating 9/10 ... solid emotional drama about relationships/bonding when many things are at stake.
recomended audience .. dont watch it thinking its an action movie . its got lot more than action , its a classy one.


the kings speech
-------------------
genre ::drama/period

its again a real life story of a king ,henry d 6th ,of england who used to have a great deal of difficulty in public speaking because he stammers a lot during the act. his position needing him to speak publicly on many occasions to add to his misery and he fumbles in doing so on many a occasions. that was his only weakness when he was a prince . his father ,king henry d 5th , always knew that he was the most apt for taking over his throne for every other reason but for the stammering he faced during speeches. and there comes in a tutor , a speech therapist to help the prince to overcome his defect. the movie focuses on how much shame/disgrace the prince had to suffer due to his speech defect , the support his wife and the speech therapist give him to overcome the same. and to make matters worse a fast turn of events make prince albert the new king of england and her colonies stretchin to occupy almost a quarter of the world , when the world is gettin ready for the 2nd world war. now the king is required to give speeches with the moral of the whole public , the people of the colonies and the armymen preparing for war are at stake . And with technology at place to live radio broadcast his speech to the whole world . life becomes a hell for the stammering king . a academy winning performances as the stammer king henry 6th by colin firth ,, the speech therapist by a derek jacobi make this very simple movie a marvelous one.

rating 9.5/10 .. simplistic but classy drama with great performances ..an oscar winner !!
