Me Movies More

I have always avoided films like "Drunken Master" and other movies that begin and end with a fight. The same goes for mindless action films too. However, there are a few movies that I have watched that may seem incredibly foolish and dumb but if you manage to watch those you will realise they are quite clever. So, here is my list of 5 Dumb Movies that are Secretly Clever. 1. Tucker and Dale vs. Evil: When 2 worthless friends go for a vacation, their adventures turn into a disastrous misadventure and a massacre due to misunderstandings and unfortunate turn of events. This movie is gory, bloody and yet stupidly hilarious. The execution style is of a slapstick comedy with the chills and thrills of a gory slasher, making it a unique dark comedy. How some people's false assumptions about 2 people turn into a nightmare for both parties is the main story behind this goofy massacre. 2. One Cut of the Dead: In the beginning this film looks like a low-budget mindless zombie flick,

A couple of days back I watched a film, only to get a headache and I forgot its name too. But still, I watched it, some people won't change. Will they? Like nations in continuous wars and internal feuds -God knows what they get out of it. War has not done good for anyone ever. While their purpose is best known to them, my purpose as a cinema lover is to create a list of films that cover topics of Communal/Civil war and internal feuds:   1. The Killing Fields: I had no idea about the history of Cambodia, till I watched this 1984 film, during my mid-twenties. A nation that was absolutely devastated as a result of the killing of thousands of its citizens under the bloodthirsty Khmer Rouge reign - Killing Fields covered this history through the pen of a New York Times journalist and his Cambodian associate. The movie is difficult to watch due to the depiction of the horrid nature of the brutality that innocent people had to go through. Pran, the Cambodian journalist had to endeavour a

Hollywood has been making innumerable Sole Survivor films for years now. Some films have made a huge impact and some just fade from our memory. Some films had very limited actors but still managed to make a mark. One such film is definitely The Martian. This 2015 film, starring Matt Damon dealt with a space traveller who had to survive adversities while stranded alone on Mars. Damon's powerful performance as the protagonist has been widely appreciated. Ridley Scott's direction is detailed and most of the scenes, starting from the the magnanimous surroundings of the space station to the very grounded and basic approach to vegetation and farming have been filmed with much care and finesse. No wonder The Martian has made its honourable place in the top Sci-Fi Films of all time. I was wondering if I have watched any other Sole Survivor films of this stature and I have found a few. So, here is the list: Top 5 Sole Survivor Movies to watch if you like The Martian 1. Gravity: Sandra

2004's film "Phantom of the Opera", starring Gerard Butler, was an indirect adaptation of the French novel Le Fantome de Opera by Gaston Leroux. While I have not read the book, I have happened to watch a few films that are based on Classic literature that I have read. So, today, I have decided to list a few films adapted on screen from Literary Classics. 1. Romeo+Juliet: This 1996 film starring Leonardo di Caprio and Claire Danes in the titular roles is the modern-day spin-off of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. A visually captivating romantic tale of a couple of teenagers whose families are sadly involved in a continuous mafia feud. Nothing can weaken their bond, and no conspiracy can tear them apart. The story's backdrop remains unchanged; however, the presentation is modern and artistically aesthetic. Interestingly, some of the dialogues and monologues in the play were used by director Baz Luhrmann. Luhrmann's films have always made a mark in the viewer'
