The Book of Eli (2010)

 

book-of-eli

The Book of Eli is a fantasy of what would be life after the apocalypse. The few that survive the apocalypse what they do and how they survive. The movie starts with Denzel Washington (Eli) hunting down an animal for food. Next they show him walking along the down trodden roads and bridges trying to get to some place. He is met on his way by nasty men who wants to rob him but he gets away from them with his weapons he carry. Then the story opens up as Gary Oldman comes into picture. It shows him sending his men in all possible directions to get a book that would give him supreme power. The book is later seen to be with Eli who would even kill anybody to protect it and get it to the right hands. But Gary Oldman and his men are determined to get it from them. The story climaxes answering the question of who wins the book and what the book is about. Again a great twist in the climax makes the movie worth the time spent. Great visuals and as usual great control on acting shown by Denzel Washington in his new attire.

Shutter Island (2010)

 

Shutter-Island

Shutter Island should be mentioned as another feather to Leonardo DiCaprio’s hat. The skill of acting displayed in this movie is tremendous. The movie starts of with the DiCaprio and a buddy of his (Both from a police dept) come to  Shutter Island to investigate the case of a missing patient. Now Shutter Island as they show is the most secured facility for Mentally affected people. The Island has three blocks for categorizing these patients. One block for the Men, another for the women and the third one for most dangerous patients. The missing patient is from the third block. As the investigation goes on DiCaprio finds that the facilities staffs have a lot of things that they keep to themselves and he deduces his own ways to find the truth. He also finds out that the staff have been medicating him to make him into one of the patients in the facility. With all this being said he some how gets up all his courage and goes out to find the truth. The climax being does he find the truth or does he understand the truth. A lovely twist at the climax makes the movie worth the time. DiCaprio’s acting vs the camera vs the beauty of the Island makes it another good movie to watch.

Kites (2010)

kites-hrithik-roshan_barbara-mori-4

Hey all, after a long time it is good to write about a lovely movie that I watched recently. Kites a movie for people who love the United States, Hrithik for his moves, passion of love and great visuals. The movie is fully shot out in the united states and Mexico. A lot of Spanish which is a beautiful language and hot Miss Barbara Mori. The cast and crew of kite have put together a marvelous show of visual against Hrithik’s ability to act. The story starts with Mexicans finding a man who has been shot in a carriage train. The man is then treated and from there rolls the flash back which has an awesome and fast story to itself. The flash back goes almost all through the movie where they show his life in the days before he got shot, how he came to meet the hot Barbara and what was the reason he is in the position he was found. The man all through this climax goes in search of his one beloved passion of that time which is his love (Barbara). A mix of Romance and Action in an attire like never before. Truly uplifting the thoughts of Indians that once day Indian movies will get in line with Hollywood movies.
