Thriller
The movie "Sherlock Holmes," which characters originally come from the famous books about Sherlock Holmes and his friend Watson, is an 128 minutes thrilling experience. Without having read the books it's still possible to enjoy the film, since the producers have used their artistic licence to spice the characters up a bit.
Robert Downey Jr. alias "Sherlock Holmes" and Jude Law alias "Dr. Watson" do a great performance as the maincharacters and they are capable of lifting the movie in times when the movie gets a little long-winded.
It all ends with the classic the-dectetive-reveals-it-all, but since it's difficult to figure out what has really happened you will still find yourself a little bit suprised at the end. The only lack this film has is its missing twist since it's pretty much possible to predict how the plot will unfold itself the last hour. But all in all it's a very good movie definitely worth watching especially if you are into the detective-genre.
Three well-to-do Edinburgh flatmates acquire a suitcase full of cash when their mysterious new lodger is found dead. Conspiring to dispose of the body, the trio soon become suspicious of one another and their distrust ultimately proves their undoing...
This Britpop thriller is, for some inexplicable reason, one of my mother's favourite films, which I think speaks volumes about my home life.
Returning to Danny Boyle's 1994 debut after some time, I was somewhat disappointed by its tricksy editing, smarmy humour and unappealingly arrogant protagonists. Ewan McGregor's subsequent ubiquity means that it doesn't take long for his chirpy Highland charm to wear thin and become an annoyance. However, the film has barely dated and is still an intense, taut suspense piece, much more claustrophobic than, say, Sam Raimi's A Simple Plan (1998) for being largely contained within one apartment. Some motifs here would be echoed in Boyle's next outing, the mega-hit, epoch-defining Irvine Welsh adaptation Trainspotting (1996), such as the pounding techno theme by Leftfield and the clockwork baby seen crawling across the floorboards. Boyle may not have been Britain's answer to Quentin Tarantino, as he was hailed in 1994, but he did finally cement his place in the international mainstream with the multi-Oscar winning Slumdog Millionaire in 2008.
I think the real reason to see Shallow Grave again is for Christopher Eccleston's utterly terrifying performance as David, the accountant who takes to living in the loft, unable to cope with reality after dismembering Keith Allen's corpse. Look out for Ken Stott as a quirky detective with writer John Hodge at his side and actor/director Peter Mullan playing one of the grimey hoods seeking to reclaim the money (the total value of which is never disclosed, incidentally).
The story, about a friendship gradually eroded by greed, may be one of the oldest in the world and go back on screen to at least The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (John Huston, 1948) but it's still a damn good one.
The movie "Law Abiding Citizen" was AWESOME!
This is my review for the movie “Law Abiding Citizen”. First off, I’d like to say that this movie was astonishing!
I’d like to begin my review with a small summary of the movie. A summary in which will NOT spoil any of the good parts. I’ll present just enough information so that you can get familiar with the plot, and to see if this movie sounds like the right movie for you.
The movie starts out with the main character, Clyde Shelton, being played by Gerald Butler, in his house, with his family. He answers the door to find two men that decide to knock him down, and tie him up. After brutally attacking him and his wife (along with doing “other stuff” do his wife), the two men spot the daughter of the family, and take her into another room, and kill her. The wife also ends up dying. Unfortunately, Clyde can’t give the person who murdered her daughter a harsh punishment because the evidence of her death being caused by his hand was not strong enough. So ten years after the murdering of his family, Clyde plans a very elaborate scheme to “bring down the system”. He plans the deaths of several people, while making sure that the evidence doesn’t add up to make him guilty. The lawyer, Nick Rice, played by Jamie Foxx, cannot prosecute him, because of the weak evidence (despite the fact that he knows that he murdered the people). So will Rice be able to prosecute the one that he knows murdered the many people? Just how well did Clyde perfect his plan? Will Rice step out of his jurisdiction to convict this murderer? And just how well does Clyde make a fool out of the Justice System?
Well, I can answer that last question! Clyde PWNS the justice system! This movie just goes to show that our system is not perfect. People can still go to jail, or be let free, despite the fact that the person may have did nothing or something wrong. And the main objective of Clyde is to completely dismantle the system, to the point in which the entire city gets into turmoil.
The elaborately planned murders, the wicked explosions, and the intense plot made this movie very memorable! But the part that I enjoyed the most was the act of slipping right through the loopholes of our justice system. This is definitely something that could happen in real life, but very unlikely. This movie also teaches the lesson that our justice system is not perfect. And Clyde was the perfect example of the system’s imperfections. The events that happened ten years prior, and his schemes really helped prove this fact.
After pondering for a long time, I came to the conclusion that there is nothing in this movie that is worth mentioning in this review, that I found was negative. Well, now that you think about it…some of the murders were kind of sick…So I official give the movie “Law Abiding Citizen” a 10 out of 10!
This review was the script for my review "Law Abiding Citizen", which will be uploaded to YouTube shortly after this review gets published on this website. The video will be located at:

there was nothing to watch in the moview
Well...Movie is like when you getting bowled on a full toss ball.Mithud Da did what he was told to do ..Ompuri was well stuffed and played well according to the character. Storyline was very poor and direction part made it even worse to watch...The new comer has ruined his debut..!!
Movie showed the dark side of society in a very different way with some excellent music..
So finally luck is smailing for Shahid Kapoor.Its is really amazing to see how this "ankho main tera hi chehra debuted" guy Shahid has improved himself film by film. Now he can not only carry a film on his shoulders but also can make it a Mega hit. He was well fitted in both the roles. His performance was mesmerizing.
Priyanka chopra again proves her acting abilities with sweety giving you a feel of both a lovely innocent lady and sister of Bhape. Amol gupte delivered an effortless style.
Vishal bhardwaj was excellent with the direction. It really nice to see this kind of cinema from him. He is the king of this arena.
Cinematography was amazing and well planned.
Story line could have even better to make it a smash hit.
Music will let you jump out of your seat. From start till the very end it will make you sing laugh and even trickle down if required.
This movie was cool. And it was good. Nothing really could be better than this movie. It wasn't the best in the world but it was good. This movie did have a great start to it. But then Prom Night 2008 was a little bit settle than some movies. It was good and a it had good terror scenes you could picture in your head. Overall this movie is reccomnded to anyone who wants to see it. It is good and pretty great.
For overall rating I give Prom Night 2008 ********* nine stars
This is one of the best movies about great whit sharks ever. They say they might remake Jaws. But it'll never be more funny or scary as the origanl. Jaws is the best movie you could find of sharks. It's setting is in the town of Amity. And it truly is a great blockbuster movie. It's really good and great to see a fake shark that looks almost real in action. The shark when they showed it was fake and kind of dumb. Besides that it was a decent movie. And the film was the greatest shark movie of all time. Overall it was awesome and great. It was good and great to enjoy in the summer
For overall rating I give JAWS ********** all ten stars.
This is one of those movies that was one of the worst police movies ever. It was unbeilevable. And it stunk with a decent. And it was never possible to get anything right. It was the worst thing I've ever seen. I'm not gonna sure code it. It was horrorable. And it had bad scenes at best. It was never going anywhere. And it was boring. If you need help sleeping at night this movie is for you. Overall it was bad and terrible.
For overall rating I give Twisted **** four stars.
Thanks for reading this review of Basic Instinct 2
Here we go again another chick thriller flick. This is one of those movies you either love it or you hate it. And I personally didn't love it. When the movie started I thought I could be in for a really awesome movie. But it was horrible. It was one of those movies where the woman is the killer and she acts all sexy throughout the whole movie. This one got boring with in about like fifteen or thirteen minutes into the film. Then went no where. I haven't seen the first Basic Instinct movie. And I think if I saw the first one I would have to be better than the second one. Cause the second one flat out horrible. It was not even funny how bad it is. And this is one of those movies that make you think when's this over. Cause to me this is just a waist of two hours. If you wanna buy this one and sell it to a dummy. Go ahead someone with a smart brain would never buy or rent anything like this. I stopped the watching the film because it got so boring I actually turned off the DVD player and switched to a TV show channel just for that reason. It was terrible. A lazy bad version of a chick flick that should've never been made. And I hate this movie with almost everything I can give it I would want to give it zero or one star but I can't cause it's not that bad as other thrillers out there. And I know beileve me. Stop looking at other movie reviews and look more at mine beacuse I'm telling the truth about films like theses. This one was horrible flat out terrible and it was as worse as a thriller could get. And I hate this movie with all that I've got. So four stars five stars what does this movie get? It was bad and so horrible you can throw up all over the screen. In the theater people should not have paid for it! And this one was flat out unexplainable. It was so boring. Anyone who wants to see a dumb movie this is the film for those people. Overall this movie was bad and horrible also terrible to the genre.
For overall rating I give Basic Instinct 2 *** three stars.
Blinded by love a man kills a man for his life insurance money
Double Indemnity is a film directed by Billy Wilder and was released in 1944.
In the intro of this film you see an Insurance representative for Pacific All-Risk named Walter Neff (played by Fred MacMurray) who is walking into an office and picks up a recorder to leave his confession for Barton Keyes(played by Edward G. Robinson), the person who proves if a claim is real or not.
Walter confessed that on his meeting at Mr. Dietrichson’s (played by Tom Powers) house to renew his auto insurance, he was let in by the maid to get informed that Mr. Dietrichson wasn’t home at the moment, but is greeted by his wife Phyllis Dietrichson (played by Barbara Stanwyck) who decides to come down to talk to Walter. She makes Walter wait in the living room, Walter already astounded by Phyllis’ beauty tends to be flirting with her when they begin to talk and she tends to flirt back. Walter begins talking to her about the insurance policy and Phyllis asks if she could have her husband get life insurance without him knowing about it, she claims that it’s because his job can be dangerous but Walter already figured that she wanted murder, but he wanted no part in it then he leaves to his apartment. After he got to his apartment he gets a visitor, it was Phyllis coming to persuade him to change his mind, she said that her husband was mean and evil and only cared about his daughter, Lola (played by Jean Heather). Phyllis succeeds she tricks him with love that both of them together would kill her husband together, Walter being an insurance sales man knows all the tricks and comes up with Mr. Dietrichson “dying by falling of a train” witch was his choice because the insurance company would pay double for the claim. So Walter tricks Mr. Dietrichson to sign the life insurance policy and then makes Phyllis make him take his business trip on the train. After the part where Walter and Phyllis Kill her husband and fled the crime scene leaving everything in place to make it seem like everything was an accident, the insurance company begins to inspect Keyes says it’s an accident but the big company boss says it was suicide, then they call Phyllis in for a meeting and tell her that her husband committed suicide and then she makes a scene and leaves the office then when it seems that everything is clear Keyes thinks that it was a setup that someone killed him that his wife and a unknown accomplice killed him. Walter got worried and told Phyllis not to talk to him for a while, afterward Lola talked to him and she had it figured out too that Phyllis had killed her father and that her boyfriend was seeing Phyllis behind her back too. Walter figures that she was playing him so he had to find a way out so he goes and confronts Phyllis about it I won’t say what they said but ill I’m telling you is, that Phyllis shoots Walter then Walter shoots her to death. So were back to how the movie started in Walter’s confession but this time Keyes hears what really happened and then Walter says he will flee across the border and doesn’t even make it to the elevator without bleeding out.
So my opinion of this movie is that it was boring at first then as it started talking about murder and betrayal I came to like the movie and found it to be thrilling and suspenseful at times. I would give the director a two thumbs up on this film and give it a 10 out of 10 because this has been so far my favorite black and white film and I’m guessing I’m not the only one that liked it seeing as it won 7 Oscars in its time.
