Kept the suspense all along with a unexpected twist in the end. Zhang Ziyi was super creepy. It had some shocking moments that completely takes you by surprise. Serial killing, Biblical prophecy (Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse), Gore, physiological suspense. What else do you need to keep your attention :)<br /><br />Plot: Detective who is distant from his kids and lonely from his wife's death tries to solve a string of killings that were done by a religious cult who calls themselves Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He soon finds out that he also has links to the murders.<br /><br />I didn't like the ending.

Scenes are extreme bloody and has a touch of gore. Songs were good but could have been better. You cannot compare this to a Rocky Horror Picture Show they are far better than this.<br />Guess what Paris Hilton does a good job with her character it really matches her.<br /><br />Story: World is spread with a organ failure disease and only GeneCo has the cure for it by organ transplant.

Well thought out characters. Keeps you well entertained till the end. Cannot agree if someone tells that this movie is a war movie. I don't know why this movie is underrated.<br />Kind of a movie that makes you feel, "WOW I wish I could have seen more".<br /><br />Story is about three soldiers returning from Iraq find themselves stuck together for a life changing Road trip to Vegas.<br /><br />I hope more films like this, comes out very often.<br /><br />Starring Rachel McAdams, Tim Robbins, Michael Peña<br /><br />Directed by Neil Burger<br /><br />Distributed by Lionsgate<br /><br />Running time: 115 minutes<br /><br />Rating: <span style="font-weight:bold;">8/10</span> (The Lucky Ones)my nodehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08007538405198874666noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060492829778492484.post-10939897784136523432009-05-09T07:03:00.000-07:002009-05-09T10:59:34.347-07:00Review: Echelon Conspiracy (2009)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhao8zgVys1KZsnQfQ_cG9lBvl7xhXJ8kPTxFATBh614uFbzRMAVkv-MoZJNP3-pdgCPJBfzS261QfoC7vmHkdJq4X5SzaoxYlY-65eixZzEPbwiP0gdSqqr6LcokIEkCPMG9KinoR850yv/s1600-h/Echelon_conspiracy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 136px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhao8zgVys1KZsnQfQ_cG9lBvl7xhXJ8kPTxFATBh614uFbzRMAVkv-MoZJNP3-pdgCPJBfzS261QfoC7vmHkdJq4X5SzaoxYlY-65eixZzEPbwiP0gdSqqr6LcokIEkCPMG9KinoR850yv/s200/Echelon_conspiracy.jpg" border="0" alt="Echelon Conspiracy" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333826416819645042" /></a><br />Action, Thriller and Mystery all in one package. Reminds me of the movie "Eagle Eye", Echelon Conspiracy is like a low budgeted version of Eagle Eye. Could have been lot better. Acting was also bit corny. Some scenes looked really dumb but I must say that you can enjoy the movie without getting bored.<br /><br />Story is about a young man receiving text messages by a unknown person that gives him tips on how to win lot of easy money. Soon he finds himself in middle of a big international conspiracy.<br /><br />Echelon Conspiracy is also know as The Gift in USA.<br /><br />Starring Shane West, Edward Burns, Ving Rhames<br /><br />Directed by Greg Marcks<br /><br />Distributed by After Dark Films<br /><br />Running time: 105 minutes<br /><br />Rating: <span style="font-weight:bold;">8/10</span> (Echelon Conspiracy)my nodehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08007538405198874666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060492829778492484.post-45556521576814816322009-05-08T06:36:00.000-07:002009-05-08T07:13:54.058-07:00Review: Frozen River (2008)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVeVYDFsOkcVqj4bkeXsiJ-pwTKzPP3I5msX8Q-FLO9ITZrjD1E4TACmEMSf_PIGWyk4FY2kAGxyclAC_ltK15QKvnWioH4QvghMemFRHcSq4NY_v2soslgAgu0CCBaF-nuL1TFtupNA2q/s1600-h/Frozen_river.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVeVYDFsOkcVqj4bkeXsiJ-pwTKzPP3I5msX8Q-FLO9ITZrjD1E4TACmEMSf_PIGWyk4FY2kAGxyclAC_ltK15QKvnWioH4QvghMemFRHcSq4NY_v2soslgAgu0CCBaF-nuL1TFtupNA2q/s200/Frozen_river.jpg" border="0" alt="Frozen River" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333454035775113234" /></a><br />Emotional and silent look into a working class woman trying to make a better life for her two sons.<br />Frozen River has a documentary effect which makes us think that Melissa Leo's character is real.<br />Courtney Hunt tries to show us pure affection of two mothers who are willing to go into any danger for the betterment of their children. The movie silently tries to justify their actions with a humanistic touch.<br /><br />Story is about two working class women struggling for a better life, involved in smuggling illegal immigrants to USA from Canada.<br /><br />Worth all the nominations and awards.
