I have no idea why my blog is turning into a movie review trash. Initially i thought it would be a good idea (shamelessly quoting the words of Steve Mcqueen from The Magnificent seven).
1. Great Indian Railways (BBC/National Geographic channel documentary)
Its a beautiful documentary on one of the greatest transport systems of the world. Indian railways serving Indians with without any discrimination on the basis of various legends of discrimination. Its a beautiful tribute.(7/10)
2. Helen Of Troy (2003)
Its a low budget TV movie based on the legendary Trojan War. Hector once again killed by Achilles while Argamemnon kills Paris without any prejudice. Helen was not a face in this movie that could even a launch a single ship. Anyways a nice movie. (6/10).
3. Zwartboek aka Black Book (2006)
Another movie inspired by the Jewish tragedies of world war 2. Ellis is a face (that can launch few ships ;)) that is fighting hard to save her after seeing the horrible massacre of her family by the Nazis. I will say this movie requires parental guidance as Ellis has shown everything for the sake of the Resistance against the Nazis in occupied Holland. Worth watching. 7.5/10.
4. The Magnificent Seven (1960)
Another western classic movie. Poor Mexican farmers hire cowboy gun fighter to save them from the terror of bandits. Bollywood flick China Gate is a copy of this movie and even dialogues are shamelessly copied. 7.5/10.
5. Australia (2008)
This movie is about the lost generations of Aborigines who were forcefully taken from their parents by the Australian authority in order to "civilize" them. Nicole Kidman looks very elegant and Hugh Jackman is as rough as he can. Kevin Costner's "Dance with Wolves" beats this movie hands down. 7/10.
6. Few Dollars More (1965)
Clint Eastwood is back with a powerful performance again. I am becoming an addict of western movies. 8/10.
7. A fist full of dollars (1964)
Another Clint Eastwood movie. A lot of action by the man with no name. 7/10.
