Are you ready for the truth?

Unbreakable (2000)

unbreakable

Written and directed by the Indian born Manoj Night Shyamalan, Unbreakable hit the theaters in 2000. As a director this was his fourth film.

Within the first 10 minutes, it gets you involved after the lead character played by Bruce Willis survives a major train crash. He not only survives out of 130 odd passengers, but doesn’t even suffer a single scratch. He starts a journey to find if he could be a superhuman.

But, I find it hard to accept that one would be so memory-bad to ask someone “how many sick days I have taken?”. Would you not remember that you never had a single headache in your life?

I am yet to watch Lady in the water and The Happening of Shyamalan’s. Excluding these two in the list, I would say The Village was Shyamalan’s perfect followed by The Sixth Sense and Signs in no order.

Empty what is full. Fill what is empty. Scratch what itches.

Rescue Dawn (2006)




Christian Bale was the obvious reason for which I chose to watch this movie. And, this was a great performance from him as usual. He really makes this character his own. Directed by Werner Herzog, this film is based on a true story of survival during Vietnam War. But the historical accuracy of this film is strongly criticized here.

This is one of the films that portray the true struggle for freedom and survival. I have not seen any movie of Steve Zahn before. His portrayal of a broken man is just amazing and he does overshadow Christian Bale.

But, this movie is not recommended for weak hearts as it contains strong sequences of violence and torture.

You can find so many movie blogs. You can bet this won't be any different except that I am writing this blog.

I will fill this blog by sharing my thoughts about the movies I watch. Again, I do not have a style of my own. Anyway, I will try to my best to keep this as interesting as possible. If you may find this blog sucking, well, you know what to do! I'm not expecting big time viewers to my blog. I do not know how deep the water is. I have just come by and standing by the river hoping I may cross it.

Having said that, your continuous support is always welcome. Let's get started.
