Weekly Reviews 14th Feb

Here i am with my reviews:

1. The Caine Mutiny (1954)
This movie is about application of art. 184 of the US Army act i.e. relieving of one's superior on account of his inability to handle situation. Legendary Humphry Bogart played the relieved officer role here. I will prefer the new classic Crimson Tide on the same theme any day. Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman stole the show from Bogart's company. 6.5/10.

2. A Few Good Men (1992)
This is the original version of Bollywood flick "Shourya". A Few Good Men is epitomized by the eternal sex appeal of Demi Moore and carefreeness of ever evolving Tom Cruise with foul mouth Jack Nicholson in between. I will say Kay Kay Menon beats Jack Nicholson hands down with his Scottish spirit. Worth watching "A Few Good Men". 8/10.

3. The bridge at Remagen (1969)
This is a typical World War 2 movie about a strategically important bridge on river Rhine. a lot of confusion across both the sides. It reminds me of multi starer "a bridge too far". 6/10.

4. From Russia with Love (1963)
A sequel to Dr. No with a different flavour. A very intelligent bond movie. Spectre playing spoilsport in the cold war. 7/10.
