  Pritdbat's Rating My Rating

Jurassic Park (1993,  PG-13)
Jurassic Park
i find it hard 2 review this film because i had thought sometimes ratings speak for themselves..but i've come 2 realise, among the other movies that i hv rated as 5-stars this movie clearly deserves distinction.

alrite then...here we go

well i have always loved 2 c a dinosaur onscreen....worth mentioning that i used 2 collect different dino stickers & other stuff..from a very young age...even going 2 a regional science park was merely an excuse 2 see d dinosaur dummy there..
about the movie well.....this was the 1st dvd i ever bought...besides...probably the 1st English language film i ever saw...& even though i hv watched a great deal of brilliant movie masterpieces..honestly no movie has mesmerised me so much.

speaking of the various dimensions of the film..
all the actors in the movie were unknown 2 me obviously at the time i saw it but i dont think any of the characters were improper...the impact they left on me was great.
now if i consider the movie on its technical aspects...it was certainly way ahead of its time.awesome animatrix,brilliant sound editing & above all supreme direction..a special thanks 2 crichton who imagined such a thing & speilberg for making it come alive.

Finally as i see it for the 300th time...i would like 2 say one thing.."no matter how old i get,no matter how excellent movies i see in future...this movie will always remain my #1 movie & my most favourite of all time".

Schindler's List (1993,  R)
Schindler's List
I never wanted to write a review on this film.Why?
Because I believed words are never enough to describe the greatness of the film.
Sadly for some of my local friends this was just another drama movie of 200 minutes,so I had to convince them how great this movie really was!

On my fourth viewing I finally admit there can't be any movie so perfectly prepared ever.Describing holocaust is never easy & what Speilberg did was absolutely amazing.Ofcourse there's always this emotional attachment to any other Speilberg film,but if you're able to capture the capability of the film,you definitely got the worth of your 200 minutes.

I became an instant fan of Liam neeson after watching this film,his expressions,his dialogues truly reflected how deeply he was in the character.Watching him was like feeling every experience through your own eyes.Rest of the cast were also very brilliant in playing their parts.I dont think I'll ever applaud any performance as I did in this film.

also a word of thanks to John williams for creating such a powerful & wonderful score that not only draws tears from your eyes but also moves your heart.
& a brilliant quote in the end by Ben kingsley,
"Whoever saves one life saves the world entire"

The Motorcycle Diaries (Diarios de Motocicleta)
a brilliantly told story of how an adventure went on 2 change lives of two people & certainly..the story of che guevarra
no reason why i would rate it below 5 stars
highly applauded performance by all the actors
indeed the best biopic ever made
the commitment of actors,their portrayal of the characters ,the story how a young guy turns into a soulful human being..absolutely brilliant effort by the movie makers & the actors...
very touching as well as entertaining movie...

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
what a fantastic movie....outstanding!!!!!!!!
brilliant work of special effects,art designing...sound....hard 2 point any flaw
from my point of view...this should be the example for how movies should be followed up with really awesome story....
excellent performances from liam neeson & ewan mcgreggor...though neeson was far better than any other character in the series...besides the most faboulos climax in a star wars movie & then like the '"icing on the cake'":-the fantastic lightsaber combat between qui-gon & obi wan against darth maul....superb display of skills
very impressive........the adventure continues...awesome entertainer

perfect image of hollywood villain...wont hesitate 2 say he remains my most favourite bad guy of all time...& it seemed 2 me no one could ever do it without the pair of willis-rickman
perfect just perfect.

Khalnayak (1993,  Unrated)
Khalnayak
one of sanjay dutt's greatest & best performances....very touching...very much apprehended portrayal.
with sm gud roles by rakhee,jackie shroff n pramod moutho..
nice title track....but above all sanjay dutt rocks
remember the line "when i'm good.i'm gud....when i'm bad....i'm better"
think it appropriately fits sanjay dutt...a lil longer than usual hollywood films...but boly films r usually long.....also it shows how important mother's role is in indian cinema.lol
gr8 film overall
75
Old School (2003,  R)
Old School
seriously if u describe the film in a single word......HILLARIOUS
in many ways i thought it was sort of a prequel 2 'wedding crashers'
except this tym luke replaced owen...lol
the team of luke,will & vince make u laugh so bad like crazy......perfect team for a perfect film.
76
Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003,  Unrated)
Kal Ho Naa Ho
many of my friends have said that indian films r too sappy they tend to play with ur emotions just to make the filmmakers rich
i agree with the statement...but if a movie is made so good u cant wait urself 2 feel something about it....i cant believe i waited so long 2 watch the film.
the film was brilliant...nice story,good cast,beautiful songs & great performances...what else do u need?

shahrukh was brilliant in the film...though he's always a ladies man & has a great following...it was one of his roles where i really clapped for his performance....great character so full of life...so sad 2 see the tragic end of his character.
except shahrukh the only character that i liked was that of sonali bendre's but none of the rest of the cast were even good for me..
lilette dubey was also a bit of milf but..i adore her...what a woman!
nevermind that....the movie was a very good one.& one of the few movies that made me cry so hard....that showed how brilliantly the characters were played.the only lame thing about the film was its ending.
so if u read the review & watched the film...i believe u'd never return disappointed..
1 more thing that the movie taught me-"relish what u hv, dont care for what u dont hv..spread a smile...make someone happy 2de-who knows there's no 2morrow"
77
Phone Booth (2003,  R)
78
Top Gun (1986,  PG)
Top Gun
many of my friends wud say that giving it 5 stars will be a lil overrated.....but i surely cant lie that this movie didnt deserve it.
it kept me entertained throughout the entire movie.it had everything that i expected it to have...some of the exciting charcter names along with a great cast...it sereved some better performances from the actors i've seen

the bond of friendship between anthony edwards & tom cruise,the chemistry between kelly mcgillis & cruise,the cold competition among kilmer & cruise,the super solid tom skerritt...well what else do u need 2 be entertained?

i've seen many tony scott films....but trust me no film is as good as this 1 & believe this to be one of the best performance from him & cruise as well.

the soundtracks & the background score were also groovy,moving & pleasing...cool

& as much as it was a guys film...it was no less romantic in its own place.

finally 1 thing 2 add that i felt after watching this film

"I FEEL THE NEED....THE NEED FOR SPEED"

pending...
83
Dirty Harry (1971,  R)
Dirty Harry
I had wished to see this film ever since I watched a parody involving WWE's Undertaker.

& after watching it....all I can say is Harry callahan is Legend!

What a film,what a character...I wonder if there would be anyone who wouldn't idolize Harry callahan!

Clint eastwood's character as the cynical,sarcastic,toughie bad ass cop quickly became a cult icon & the inspiration for many films of the same genre!

the thriller concept with a great score truly made it one of the best & iconic movies ever made.

plus some bonus nudity provided for peeps...LOL

But I truly admit I have become an instant fan of the character,the film & no need to tell how many times I've repeated the monologue

I gotta have one of those .44 magnums!
