  • Brian De Palma-The World is Yours
    (Some  spoilers  in the post). Say Hello to my Little brother I   was  one  of  those  hated  Scarface when  i  saw  it  first.  I  guess  maybe  i  saw  it  a time,  when  i  hated  anything  even  remotely  80’s.  And  the movie   was  80’s,  right from  Giorgio  Moroder’s  techno  music  to  the  over the top  acting...

  • Third prize You Are fired
      There  have  been  cameos,   and  some  great  cameos.  And  then there  is  Alec  Baldwin in  Glen  Garry Glen Ross.  Not  quite  often  i had  seen a  cameo  which just  lasted  for  10  minutes on  screen,  but  was fucking  mind blowing.  As the hot  shot,  super  egoistic   salesman  Blake,  who comes to the  corporate  office ...

  • Carlito’s Way- The Road to Redemption
    In  1983,    Brian  De  Palma  and  Al  Pacino,  came  together  in Scarface,  a  movie  that  polarized critics  and  audiences  alike.  After  his  turn  as  the  suave  Michael  Corleone in The  Godfather  Series,  Pacino,  again  lit  up  the screen as  Tony Montana,  a  foul mouthed,  hot headed,  illiterate,  cocaine  snorting ...

  • Al Pacino and the Mob
    Al Pacino a name that immediately brings into mind intense roles and a crackling screen presence that can chew up the scenery. Ask Keanu Reeves, who ended up as a glorified extra in The Devil’s Advocate. And yes those wonderful monologues, which basically comes from Pacino’s penchant for Shakespearan Theater. In his long career, Pacino has portrayed crooks,...

    Michael Mann crafts an intense, hard hitting drama based on the real life story of whistleblower Dr.Jeffrey Wigand.  Intense to the core, not to be missed. Apart from Al Pacino, Russel Crowe, Christopher Plummer, watch out for one of the best cameos by  Bruce Mc Gill. Rating – 4.5/5 IMDB

  • Christopher Nolan – HOW DOES HE DO THAT ???
    “Probably done this before” – Christopher Nolan – HOW DOES HE DO THAT ??? EVERY TIME ??? Every time he conjures up a brilliant,twisted,convoluted,serpentine script which doesn’t indulge itself, entertains, doesn’t take the EASY way out … doesn’t give u a deja-vu feel .. doesn’t give u a “i could see that coming”...
