Titanic - An Extraordinary Movie!!

Advantages: Action, Romance, Eloborative Sets, Music
Disadvantages: Nudity unfit for children

Since the time I was in my eighth grade I had a fascination to gather as much information as possible regarding the ship Titanic. This was because; we had a lesson by the name 'Loss of Titanic' in our English course curriculum. I still remember the picture given in the text book 'The Radiant Reader' where the ship was shown sinking with lot of smoke emanating from the Chimney! It is really difficult to say why I got attracted to this giant ship Titanic ...
...the skill of the author or the skill of our English teacher or/and the combination of the both ! There after with the age I have started gathering information about this ship from various sources including the Encyclopedia. Collecting the information about the Titanic and discussing about it has become a hobby for me! I used to feel great when people used to appreciate my know-how about the Titanic. So one can understand how I must have felt to come ...

Review of The Titanic (DVD)

An Exceptional Film!!

Advantages: Everything!
Disadvantages: NONE

Titanic might be considered by many as cheesy and overly dramatic, and I have even heard a couple of my acquaintances call it downright stupid. But I can easily admit to the fact that this is one of the exceptionally well done movies that I ever saw. I think that the number of Oscars awards and acclaims that the movie got speak for themselves. I personally love the special effects, as well as the poignancy and intensity of the relationship depicted ...
...party, I would say that Titanic exceeded expectations for me on these above mentioned grounds! Plot: Treasure Hunter Brock Lovett is bent on upon acquiring the legendary “Heart of the Ocean” diamond that is said to have sunk along with the Titanic. When a series of circumstances lead him towards meeting the one-hundred year old Rose Dawson Calvert, Titanic victim, Brock Lovett is taken back to the days when the ship started its maiden voyage as ...

Review of Titanic (Special Edition) (DVD)

A training day to remember

Advantages: Terrific acting, great plot, dark, compelling but intelligent
Disadvantages: Cop films might not suit all

Training Day was a film that instantly stood out to me as a must watch film due through the fact that Denzel Washington had been nominated for an Oscar for his performance in the film. Having always admired Denzel's talent as an actor, I was greatly anticipating this film. The central plot of the film is a young, slightly naive, wet behind the ears Ethan Hawke has joined the narcotics department he wants to make a difference and climb the ladder. ...
...indeed going to be Ethan's training day, but this is no ordinary training day and while first perceiving his officer's tactics as being unorthodox, he begins to realise that there is a much darker side to him. Jake's philosophies of a world in which justice is served within the system are in stark contrast to Alonso who sees it as a dog eat dog world in which rules are no boundary for his goals. This is where the table is set for the feast of action ...

Modern Masterpiece

Advantages: Cinematography, acting and many more
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...and more. An absolute masterpiece. There Will Be Blood contains some interesting ideologies about suburban America. Most notably an incredibly isolated one. But two that come to mind are this Anti-Religious theme and Ant-capitalism. We see the character of Plaintiff, who feels uncomfortable around Eli Sunday in relation to his evangelical preaching. Daniel Day-Lewis' character is one of a seriously repressed man, who wants no more than to own every ...
...looking for oil. From there we can see he is a violent, selfish man, who is determined to get what h wants. From there on, when he takes the son of another man and poses him as his own-also symbolises this. There are loads more but I didn’t want to give too much away as it's just blown me away! Talking of "blowing me away" the cinematography. WOW oh Wow! Again I didn't think I would see should sensational cinematography since I watched Atonement ...

Review of There Will Be Blood (DVD)

A True Biblical Classic

Advantages: One of the best loved classics
Disadvantages: none

...Biblical tale was directed by the legendary silent film director Cecil .B . Demille .Cecil who was 75 years old when he made this film apparently ,suffered a heart attack during the making of the film, and there was fear of the film being shelved. But a determined Cecil got back within a month to resume the shooting and complete it as per schedule. There have been many criticisms against the film and his direction, with critics calling his style ...
...several still-impressive effects such as the parting of the Red Sea. It is a movie that abounds in spectacle and remains one of my most favorite films ever. The Story It is a rather well known story. It is the story of Moses, an Egyptian prince leading his true people, the Hebrews, into freedom from four centuries of slavery and bondage. He is brought up by the Pharaoh's daughter Bithiah. He is brought up in the court of her brother, Pharaoh ...
