REVIEW: Orphan - Disturbing and surprising...

Isabella Fuhrman as 'Esther' in the movie Orphan  My rating: 4/5 IMDb rating: 7.1/10 Producer: Leonardo Dicaprio Now a days horror flicks suffer from basically  two problems: 1) They are less of a horror and more of a thriller 2) Whatever spooky scenes are there, either they look comic or are copied from previous horror films.               Luckily 'Orphan' doesn't struggle with these issues.No doubt it is formulated, but the important thing is that the formula works. Orphan is one the films in which a little child commits unforgivable evil acts. The 'Omen' series still remains at the top spot in this genre but still 'Orphan' is way ahead of many movies in terms of pure entertainment. It has many scenes where you would feel like some steel hands have gripped your windpipe. And the grip keeps on tightening throughout the film.                  ...

REVIEW: The Sixth Sense - The last minute twist that changes everything.....

MY RATING: 4.5/5 IMDb rating: 8.2 It is said that the trip of life is expensive but the toll of death is free. But no one is ready to take the free ride.No one wants to try it even once. Why? Because we are afraid. Afraid of death. Afraid of 'the end'.                     The movie is about a 9 year old boy, Cole(Haley Jole Osment) who is haunted by ghosts and a child psychologist Dr. Malcom Crowe(Bruce Willes) who is equally disturbed because of his wife who is drifting away into her own shell, where there is no place for his husband any more. Dr. Crowe tries to help the kid as a part of his redemption. The film is about the things which grown ups cant see, don't believe, but are brought into that world by a 9 year old boy.        The superb chemistry between Haley and Bruce Willes is what carries the film and keeps the viewer totally engrossed. The looks which they share with each other, their ...

REVIEW: Winter's Bone: Simple and Spectacular

My Rating: 3.5/5 IMDb rating: 7.5/10 A little bit slow at the beginning, made me lose my patience many times during the first half. But Jennifer Lawrence is the one that totally carries the film on her shoulders in a spectacular fashion. It simply shows her journey through the world where there is lot of poverty but still she takes care of the entire family single handedly. She is tough (not like the kill bill style tough) and makes the aura around her very believable and sympathetic. The script is pure and perfect. The characters are not showy and yet show true emotions and expressions throughout the film                                                  This is story of courage and the self belief which the characters carry with themselves.The film is made of utmost purity and simplicity, as there is no background music in the ...
