DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR?

Genre: Comedy Mystery Sci-Fi

Direction: Danny Leiner

Leads: Ashton Kutcher, Seann William Scott

Undoubtedly one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen!

This movie is so stupid that it is funny. If you like stupid comedy, you will love this one. Bad writing and totally crappy story. But it will floor you down laughing at times. If you can block your brain totally and watch a movie, you will definitely enjoy this. Though at times, the comedy feels too cheap, you might just enjoy the stupidity. This movie has given the world a peculiar type of comedy and before this one, I never thought I can actually enjoy a story-less, quality-less movie so much. This movie will make you laugh hard; I suggest you watch it with friends who can also resist a movie without using any brains. This is only for entertainment and nothing else.

Even if it is fun and enjoyable, I can't rate it more than it deserves for its quality.

RATING:

REQUIEM FOR A DREAM

Genre: Drama Thriller

Direction: Darren Aronofsky

Leads: Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly, Ellen Burstyn

Some time into the movie and I was thinking what bullshit is going on. But as the movie started taking the grip, over the heart rather than the brain, I was driven deep into an entirely different world. This movie drags you down to its depths and grabs your heart, squeezes it hard until you feel some juice flowing. It truly leaves you shaken...and that's what you expect from a Darren Aronofsky movie.

We have all been exposed to media talking about the side-effects of drugs. Well, this movie literally makes you feel the effects without actual consumption of any. It will make you feel ill to the core and nauseating at times but it's one of those things you just have to go through. The ending especially left me taken aback and shocked, terrified, horrified and I don't mean the fright-thrills that you get from watching a good horror movie. This is completely different. This movie reaches directly to your soul and flips you inside out. Don't go applying your IQ to analyze any scenes, it's not that type of a movie. Just keep your mind completely open to absorb what's coming.

I strongly advice you to experience this unique dramatic ride, but only if you don't have a weak heart. Watch it alone, and not in any other way. Watch it patiently without skipping anything and let it drive you towards insanity. I swear, after watching it, I felt something I had never experienced in my life till now. I felt like crying at the top of my lungs, and laughing out loud simultaneously. This movie will drive you crazy for sometime after you watch it. That's why I said, watch it alone and when you have a lot of time. Give it time to absorb. Watching the movie has its own side-effects. The climax gets you high and sick. It's a must-watch, actually a must-feel movie, but watch it at your own risk. Discover the new phase of psyche.

RATING:

MEMENTO

Genre: Mystery Thriller

Direction: Christopher Nolan

Lead: Guy Pearce

You know about the short-term memory loss. You have seen it in many movies. You think this is just another movie to depict that. You are wrong!

This is a master-piece!

The ultimate brain-teaser!

Christopher Nolan is the God of directing, and this movie is living proof of it! This movie will literally make you experience what the character suffers. The movie runs in parallel paths. One path is the colored one, which rewinds the story from end to middle. The other path runs along the time-line from start to middle. And the beginning and the ending of the movie is actually the midpoint of the story. This direction cannot be beaten ever!

You will literally feel the confusion and dilemma the lead actor goes through every time his memory refreshes. You don't know whom to trust, whom to not, and not even who you are chasing after. All the characters' identity and your point of view about them, keeps shifting mysteriously and your brain just keep pumping acid. There just has not been a movie more brilliant than this!

Guy Pearce did a marvelous job though he could have been better, but writer/director Nolan has set another level in the movie industry that is just unreachable!

This is must-watch movie and watch it with your whole brain in it!

RATING:

FINAL DESTINATION

Genre: Horror Thriller

Direction: James Wong

Lead: Devon Sawa

The concept ain't new but the movie's take on it certainly is. It keeps the viewer alert and looking for signs for the next scene. The twists are good and so is the direction, the acting not so much though. The movie as a whole definitely does leave its mark in the horror field as not much horror movies provide you such good plot along with the shocking thrills. The movie did not use gore to frighten the viewers which requires good direction. The thing with the coroner explaining the concept of death having a design for everyone, seemed cheesy, but that was the only part in the movie that made it look like just another movie. And based on that scene is the rest of the movie. So it's okay later on when once you let go of it.

Good movie to watch. Very exciting, till the end.

RATING:

UNBREAKABLE

Genre: Drama Fantasy Mystery Thriller

Direction: M. Night Shyamalan

Leads: Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Kackson

This movie might have got some negative responses from the general crowd just because the pace is a bit slow. But the thing is, they have no sense of direction. All they want to see from a movie about superpowers, is a guy jumping off the buildings and killing people with his abilities. Well, if you want to see a superhero action movie, this one is a bit too classy for you. This movie is, let me make it clear right away, is not an action movie, as you can see the genre.

This movie is brilliantly directed, and I didn't expect anything more or anything less from Shyamalan. He knows his audience and this is another masterpiece to follow up his last one, The Sixth Sense. This movie is not about using superpowers to lead the world. This movie is far more practical than that. This movie literally makes you feel what a person would, if he had a superpower. There is no hero versus villain, no good guy versus bad guy, not in a way we have seen them till now anyways. This movie will make you skip beats at several instances and the ending is just too profound! At times, I even thought it was better than 6-time Oscar-nominated The Sixth Sense. The writer and direction truly deserve to be appreciated.

If you have a heart, you will love this movie!

I strongly recommend this one to people who have patience and keen eye for direction and who appreciate the build-ups.

Still, if the movie had a slight more pace, I'd have rated it exactly same as The Sixth Sense. But trust me, it's very close to it. Again, I wish could rate it between 3.5 and 4.0. But I can't.
