  • memorable movie trailers – the crème de la crème

    September 24, 2009

    And finally, we have the very best, the ones that I have and will be playing over and over again, reliving the thrill a million times over. #5. Kill Bill I was unaware of who Quentin Tarantino was when I saw this trailer . Needless to say, all that changed fairly quickly. This trailer (and/or [...]

    #10. Batman Begins Nolan managed to do the impossible – revive a franchise that was almost permanently killed off by one of the worst superhero movie ever made, Batman and Robin. This trailer erased any bad taste left by the previous one, rebooting the franchise in a darker, grittier (and much more realistic) world. #9. [...]

    #15. Star Wars : Episode 1 : The Phantom Menace Before you shout ‘Blasphemy!’, let me remind you that this is a list of memorable movie trailers and *not* movies. As forgettable as the movie was, the trailer of Episode One was spectacular, exciting both old and new fans, providing glimpes of the boy who [...]

    #20. Rocky Balboa Surprisingly, Stallone managed to make yet another movie in the Rocky franchise, and one that is heart-warming and memorable to boot. “I think there is still some stuff in the basement”. #19. The Wrestler Unsurprisingly, both this and Rocky rank similar, touching up on similar themes. However, Darren Aronofsky and Mickey Rourke [...]

    Collecting movie trailers is one of the *very* few hobbies that I have (had in a long time). Memorable movie trailers are those which remain enjoyable even after we have seen the movie. So, I have decided to compile a list of my favourite movie trailers, reverse sorted by preference (though the rankings might not [...]

  • what the hell were they thinking!!!

    December 24, 2007

    Some movies/songs hold you in awe, and stay with you for a long time. Some movies/songs mildly interest you, but are soon forgotten. Some movies/songs leave a bad taste in your mouth. Some movies/songs are so ridiculous that they are enjoyable. And then.. and then there are these movies/songs that evoke only one response from [...]

  • A slave’s helplessness

    July 12, 2007

    Corny they may be, but these are some Bollywood “quotes” that have caught my fancy. See if you can figure out which movie they come from. “I am slave to the law of the land. Don’t see this as an emperor’s cruelty, but as a slave’s helplessness“. “Why do you feel that all the burdens [...]

  • Movie Quotes

    February 17, 2007

    Some random movie quotes that caught my fancy: Callisto: You’re so proud of being a mutant, where’s your mark? (nodding to her and her friend’s tattoes) Magneto: I have been marked once my dear, (pulls back his sleeve to reveal the Nazi concentration camp serial number tattoed on his arm) and let me assure you [...]

  • Casino Royale – A Bond for the new Millenium

    November 24, 2006

    Rating – 9/10 (absolute) .. 10/10 (for a Bond movie) Daniel Craig – Potrays perfectly the transformation from a rough-edged rookie into the perfect suave, cold-blooded spy. Plot – Engrossing. Despite apprehensions, the Poker game was quite engaging. Style Quotient – Departs from the gadgets, girls and cars formula of the previous Bond movies. Instead, [...]
