Polladhavan (2007)
Didn't know it was a vetrimaran movie.
I have watched this movie on tv when i was a kid.. but didn't understand the story coz i was a kid.. watched it again after seeing many reels on Instagram about dhanush and his bike.. Now i could emotionally connect to the character as i also have a bike.. loved the movie.. i was wondering who the director was while watching the movie, coz the making quality was so good for a 2007 movie.. it was so realistic and engaging.. i missed the director's name at the beginning of the movie . Anyway when the movie ended and it said vetrimaaran.. i was like..wtf... Got goosebumps.. All his movies are great.. Dhanush vetri combo is the best🔥 ..

The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)
Did i just watch a movie or read a novel
Outstanding.. "a beautiful movie" .. don't need any other word to describe this movie.. wes anderson known for consistent shots, symmetrical frames and poppy colors , has been an inspiration for me.. i hope i make a movie one day.. if i do, I'd take inspiration from his movies.. This movie is a person reading a book.. and we also feel like we're reading the book.. each and every shot is eye catchy, poppy colored , breathtaking treat for the eye.. The camera work is so innovative and unique.. the actors did great, the cinematography is perfect.. whatnot .. an ideal movie.. Because of some nudity , i couldn't watch this on TV , coz my family is around.. so i had to watch it on my phone.. Wish i had watched it on my TV.. anyway loved it.

I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)
Movie has a cult following but underrated on imdb
Loved this movie.. these kinda movies are getting rare nowadays.. yes there are some goofy illogical scenes (very less), but the atmosphere and mysterious setting makes it really worth watching.. liked it a lot.. the actors were good.. the main character, that girl is super cute.. the gore scenes are really good.. just watch it , and ignore the negative reviews.. i wanted to watch a movie with my family and i chose this disregarding the imdb rating.. guess what , we liked this movie.. many highly rated movies disappoints me whereas movies like these with low imdb satisfies me well.. Idk what the audience want than pure entertainment.

Baby Driver (2017)
Imma re-watch this one.
I thought this movie was gonna be some cheesy comedy movie like hot fuzz (which i hated), but was way outta my expectations. The movie started off by something like the movie "Drive" but changed it's plot faster and it went bananas.. i wasn't bored and was entertained from the beginning till end.. no cheesy , cringe scenes, just pure adrenaline and a genuine love which we don't see much in modern movies... The meet cute was good , the making quality is so so so good.. i loved the camera work.. the car chase scenes are Really breathtaking.. At first i wasn't really font of the main actor , but by the end i love that guy.. he's really apt for that character.. the music is great, action scenes everything is great.. i regret not watching this early, and putting it off for another day.. climax is just like every heist movie but it's okay.. liked it a lot and imma watch it again , this time to see how well its made.

Premalu (2024)
Got what Bangalore days gave me in 2014
Loved this movie.. couldn't watch in theatre.. i remember mocking this film when i first saw its poster on the road.. later it became a hit.. now after releasing on ott some people said it's overrated.. maybe it's overrated to non malayalis, coz the dubbed version would've dubbed it by translating the subtitle ..subtitle couldn't do justice to most of the dialogues which are regional jokes that non malayalis wouldn't understand.. anyway, the first thing i noticed was how great the making is ,, the transition effects, shots everything is great for the budget.. Loved the performance of most of the cast .. Start to end , it was a roller coaster ride.. fun to watch.. don't expect a mind frikin story.. just a normal love story which is really fun.. didn't feel like its 2 and a half hour movie... The songs are good, naslens acting is good, i got the vibe and feeling, the movie Bangalore days gave me in 2014.. because Bangalore days felt like what i wished my life could be.. premalu is also the same.. what i wanted in my life is shown in the film and what i couldn't do in my real life.. Loved it , well made.
The Da Vinci Code (2006)
Masterpiece, I'd say
Loved it a lot. Most of the Christian's won't like it because of the subject it deals with.. I wasn't expecting anything like this at all.. i was expecting a crime thriller investigation story just like every other movie but this one gave me the woah feeling.. unexpected treat. The filmmaking is great, the story telling is great.. obviously.. Religion won't let people question it.. We humans wanna know the reason for everything before doing it.. Wanna know the logic behind things.. even this movie most of the people tried to see the logic behind the story, but won't try to find the logic behind religion and it's made up stories.. they think they'll get punished if they do so.. this movie clearly hits that mindset hard, with it's logical valid questions and point.. i dont care if it's true or not, but i like to believe what the movie said (except the secret society sh# t.) , than what religion says.. makes more sense.. as an athiest i loved this movie a lot... The actress is cute btw..

Geostorm (2017)
At times it's great, at times it's so bad. Not recommended
This movie is cliche.. mix of 2012, emotional scenes felt like Interstellar.. the dialogues are so cringe, even mu skin peeled off from me..lol.. The person who wrote the dialogue should be called "cringe" from now onwards.. when i was a kid i liked 2012 , but now when i watched it , it was too long and have to wait an eternity for the dialogues to end to see some action.. this is no different.. dialogues and people talking is too much and action scenes are less.. Only the last 30 minutes is good when compared to the whole movie . CGI is great tbh.. don't get fooled by the trailer..all good scenes are in the trailer and what we're gonna see in the movie is some random people talking sheet..

Hacksaw Ridge (2016)
Bruh.. didn't know it was a gibson movie until the credit scenes
I watched it with zero expectations as i don't watch that many war movies.. this one had 8.1 imdb and the hero is andrew Garfield, so i gave it a shot.. 5 minutes into the movie , i was so intrigued. The love story felt so intimate even i smiled when they kissed.. then comes the real movie.. man, this is the best war movie I've watched so far. Hands down.. felt like i was in a real war.. the scenes are really brutal and shows the actual things that happen in a war field.. the gory makeups , the filmmaking quality, shots, music everything was at point.. definitely a great movie.. i was so frikin entertained till the end , and you know what? I felt like wanna scream at the end when it said directed by mel gibson.. i didn't know it was his masterwork until the credit.. midway through the movie i was wondering who the director was because of how good it's made.. anyway i recommend this to everyone.. not particularly to war movie fans but to everyone

Thundu (2024)
High quality film making. Glad i ignored bad reviews
I don't think non malayalis would like this . Writing this to malayali audience. The quality of this movie is top notch.. every single shot is beautiful.. Dollyzoom, tarantino shot, macro shots everything is so mesmerizing.. As a person who likes film making, i felt this was an unusual stylish making for a Malayalam movie.. Loved it a lot.. Music is good, the making is good.. the story must be too thin for most of the people ,but for me , the non linear story telling and quality shots made it a visual treat for my eyes.. Didn't feel like its a debut film , of the director . This kinda no brainer movies should not be watched trying to find logic in it.. definitely a popcorn flick..
Smile (2022)
Don't hesitate.watch it. I was also sceptical at first.
I read some negative reviews and wasn't interested to watch the movie. But i had to watch it yesterday, coz i didn't have any other movie to watch.. Tried it and it turns out so good.. i was expecting some cringe fest as per the negative reviews , but the making quality is so great.. the cinematography, shots etc are so good , that makes you watch it till the end. The music and sound design is another positive factor.. i watched it in a surround sound system and felt so great..
The only downside is the climax.. most of the American horror script writers don't know how to end a movie.. they struggle to find a perfect ending for their movies.. "No solution, no problem, end it, that's all we need" that's their line.. they just wanna end it .. Climax could've been better .. i had some better ending in my mind.
How it could've ended:- spoiler.. the girl knowingly that the guy found her , should've committed suicide voluntarily inside the house , before he sees her.. that would've made the audience think that the curse is finally over, but as a tail end, the life of that cop should be shown to be peaceful and , when he passes by , a person should be standing and smiling at the audience.. implying that the audience is the witness of her suicide and the curse is passed on to the audience.. then the credit scenes...

Limitless (2011)
A better version of lucy.
It felt like lucy but in a goodway.. i wasn't expecting much from this movie or was i interested to watch, but glad i did.. the beginning itself made me say , hell yeah I'm game.. the making quality is so frikin good.. people who love filmmaking would definitely like it because of the unique ways of shots and lenses used..
Coming to the story, it's similar to lucy , but lucy lacked convincing science, here in this movie it's fixed and it's way much better.. Lucy was good in filmmaking but the story was a bit exaggerated and felt like pseudo science(i know it's science fiction and not reality, still it gotta be convincing,right?), .. this movie is great . It thrilled me a lot, eventho i could predict most of the scenes . I loved it a lot.. would recommend to everyone..

Funny Games (2007)
Is the director a psycho?
Wtf is even this... I like movies where people get into friked up situation and try to escape from it , coz if a similar situation happens to me , i could try something like that and save myself and my family.. People always want the hero to win.. the people who gave stars above 1 is sadistic lowkey... Worst music you've ever heard.. i first chose the original version, but the actress wasn't that good for me .. i stopped watching it for technical reasons, and i chose another file but this time it's English and a better actress .. it's her that made me root for the family... Btw wtf is that remote scene.. dummest scene for a movie.. watch last house on the left , eden lake , and movies like that from Hollywood.. get inspired rather than showing some blunt movies without any plot.. I'd have given 0 stars.
The Place Beyond the Pines (2012)
Is it supposed to be this feel good?
I felt really good after watching this movie. Watching this movie was like living through 2 generations.. felt like watching 2 movies which i liked a lot.. i didn't want it to end at all . Was so into it..entertained me real good.. the climax is so difficult to write for a story like this , but the script writer pulled it off decently.. i was expecting a more brilliant climax , but this also works.. kinda like a atonement for a sin, or like showed what the other guy should've done.. (wrote it this way to avoid spoilers.) Anyway i loved goslings scenes and his story.. The dialogue i digged was " do you want the motorcycle too in the picture" "yes , the motorcycle is part of the family" .. loved it... Overall a good watch.. feel good , atleast for me..

Hereditary (2018)
Watched it alone at night, wasn't scared at all.
No spoilers; At first the death of one character was so chilling, that i was so sad for that character, coz i also lost my loved ones and i felt the guilt...but it all ended after that. After that it's all unwanted dialogues only and no scare, at least they could've done some jumpscares even though i don't like jumoscares.. nothing to be scared in this movie..
Am i the only one finding similarities in the story , with the Indonesian horror movie Satan's slaves (pengabdi setan) 2017.. i thought it was copied from this , but it's the other way around.. the core story is same, other than that everything is different.. if you want real horror experience,i recommend satans slaves.. I haven't found any other horror movie better than that ..

Midsommar (2019)
Not everyone's cup of tea. I loved the wierdness.
As an indian , who grew up seeing a lot of superstitious stuffs done by people , this really gave me the chills.. people just do random stuffs as part of religion and culture without thinking or asking what's the point if doing it.. This movie is a psychological horror movie and if you're expecting jumpscares and ghosts, stay away from this masterpiece.. i was so worried about the climax , but it was well done.. atleast for me.. the length of the movie makes the audience dig their roots deep inside the movie environment.. i felt like i was one of the characters and was seeing all that in reallife.. the main character was going through a lot in her life and it came to an end ,only through a weird way. Depressed protagonist finally finds happiness in the weirdness of the culture.. loved the movie.. even though I'm not sure what the hidden meaning of this movie is ,but as one of a common audience, i liked it a lot.. i was definitely concerned about the protagonist.. And there lies the soul of the movie.. if you're not caring for the main character , stop watching further..

Dong wu shi jie (2018)
Filmmaking at its finest! Underrated af
When i hear the name of this movie , the first thing that comes to my mind is the filmmaking quality.. The transition effects are so trippy and amazing, the edits are so good , the vfx is really great(cons , mentioned at the end).. i had to rewind and watch most of the scenes again to enjoy and appreciate the beauty of those scenes.. someone really is into filmmaking, and tha ambitious mindset can be seen from each and every scene.. in a nutshell, I'd say this movie is beautiful, each and every shot is mesmerizing.. now coming to the story , don't expect alien fights and sci fi sheet, that's not what this is . I watched it blindly without knowing anything about the movie ,that gave me the ultimate experience..
Cons:- They should've avoided the peoples transformation into alien stuff.. it was unrelated to the plot and unnecessary.. the thought was good, the vfx was good , but the alien character designing was bad.. so it feels cringe at points.. If they had avoided that and make those scenes with people and real blud, it would've been lit..
Anyway , still this movie entertained me.. 10/10 anytime.. if anyone asks me, I'd say this movie is in my top 10 list of fav movies with the best filmmaking.. The story is confusing most of the times but it doesn't matter . The movie is really good.. loved it... If you're into filmmaking, you'd get a double fun experience.. love from kerala, india.
From Beyond (1986)
Another great movie from the 80's
Another great horror movie of the 80 's .. they added a bit of cgi at points but it's okay.. the main parts were all done using practical effects , which i like the most in 80's movies.. i don't check the name of director or actor before watching a movie.. i like to go in blindly.. Here i was surprised to see jeffrey combs and the name of brian Yuzna in it.. i was like , is there any 80's horror movie without combs? But in a good way..
This movie was really good, the makeup work and practical side is so so good.. i like these kinda movies.. I didn't like it as much as re animator , but liked it enough.. some scenes were funny..lol.. the scene where she bites off a part of a person ..lol... Anyway good movie..

Bride of Re-Animator (1990)
A bad sequel , but watchable.
The first part of this movie was so good .. only the practical effects in this movie is good , the story is sheet and the characters are sheet as well... I liked the character ,west in part 1 but here he's bad and doing illogical stuffs .. what's the point of this sequel.. Brian yuzna couldn't deliver a good story in this one. .
It can be watched for the makeups and effects used... I was expecting another movie like reanimator part 1 .. at points it was laggy and boring... Character development is bad , it's funny at points . If you liked part 1 , u wouldn't wanna watch part 2 necessarily.. you can watch it if you only wanna know what it's about.. average experience.
Re-Animator (1985)
One of the best horror movies I've ever seen
Loved it a lot.. real horror stuff.. the concept is great , the makeup and practical effects is really great , the actors are great .. the character development everything about this movie is great... It deserves more rating on imdb .. i watched it at night and got the perfect movie experience.. if i get a time machine I'd go back in time to watch this movie in theatre... The 80's had the best horror films.. now because of too much cgi , it's not scary at all.. after watching this movie i started searching for other 80's horror movies like this.. loved this movie.. i thought 80's Hollywood movies would be cringey and funny , but it made me think otherwise.. love from kerala india.
Resurrection (1999)
Stop comparing with se7en.
I loved this movie.. when i watched se7en , there were laggy scenes at points, but here i was fully engaged in the movie . Both se7en and resurrection is a great movie .. i know there are similarities in the story, but still i don't hate or love either of em more.. both the movies have equal place in my brain..
Now coming to the movie , it went really well until the psycho killer was revealed.. i was expecting someone else and wasn't expecting he'd end up getting caught this easily.. if he's so intelligent he'd have found out .. also they didn't use the mask enough.. that mask was scary af, but it's only shown in 2 scenes only.. not enough.. Other than that the movie was pure adrenaline pump.. the climax scene was so horrifying, i loved the practical effects .. So good...
Basic Instinct (1992)
Only 7/10, i expected an 8 at least
Watched this movie and was astonished.. the director plays mindgames on us.. at least for me , it worked really well... Didn't give a way to know the real killer... After watching the movie i came to imdb to rate it a 10 , but was shocked to see it only has 7.. so disappointed by the American audience.. I'm from india and i loved it a lot.. A movie like gone girl.. i usually don't like investigation movies as most of it lags a lot.. but this one, i was purely engaged throughout... did people watch this movie as an erotic movie ? I guess so, that's y people got disappointed.. it has several nude scenes throughout but i wasn't turned on, coz i was so involved in the movie that i felt like the protagonist and i could feel the fear he was having.. the mind game between the real killer and the innocent , worked very well.. towards the end i was like "I don't know who to trust anymore , I'm unsure if i can trust myself" ..loved it a lot... The climax is given to the audience to interpret further , maybe that's y it has low rating.. heavily underrated..
Joe (2023)
Climax is so satisfying , also only the last 1 hour is good.
The movie is a really feel good flick , but only the last 1 hour.. first 1 and a half hour is full of unnecessary scenes and boring.. they could've cut that down , and shorten it.. i was skipping all those scenes, but after the first half it was so interesting. That's the life i always wish for.. finally, the moto of the film is suicide is not a good decision, but it is wrong for this movie... A major change in story would've happened and the satisfying climax would've lost.. anyway i liked the movie a lot (last 1 hour is the soul of the movie , and for me thats the movie ..) ignore the 1st half..
Tropic Thunder (2008)
Unusual Quality of making for a comedy movie
First of all, i was mindblown for the production and the way they made this movie.. You could use low budget vfx and props for a comedy movie, coz nobody cares.. but it's the opposite here.. the making quality is so good.. the blood work, the practical effects, the gore , the music everything is good.. loved the cinematography, shots and all . Film making is good..
Now coming to the story, i liked the fresh idea.. it was interesting till the end.. wasn't boring.. as an Indian, most of the jokes didn't work for me . Only some were good and i laughed on those jokes.. Some jokes , i didn't get the meaning coz those were regional sh##t .. anyway , there's more to it than just jokes.. it's a good movie .. recommended.
Malaikottai Vaaliban (2024)
A tarrantino western in mollywood
Underrated af.. I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS MOVIE HAS THIS MUCH HATE..giving 10/10 to increase the imdb rating, real rating is 8/10 .. I'm not a mohanlal fan or anything.. I don't like mohanlal after odiyan... I watched this with zero expectations as everyone said its sheet , after theatre release..
Now coming to the movie , it has international level film making quality.. the shots are so awesome and beautiful.. the cinematographer deserves an applause.. from title card to end credits ,you can see Tarantino style everywhere.. the crash zoom effect is used a lot, tarantino style western background music is used, .. i loved each and every aspect of the movie.. the vfx is really good . I thought, with a story like this the vfx and making would be bad .but the ambitious making and vision of the director can be sensed from the movie.. LJP deserves more budget .. if he gets it , that's it.. loved it a lot , Amen >churuli>malaikottai valibhan>nanpakal nerath mayakkam ...
Now coming to the flaws ...
Cons of the movie or places where the movie could've improved..
Extensive use of slo mo makes it laggy fir some people...
Wire works are clearly noticeable.. fight choreography is not bad ,but not good enough for this movie .. could've been a better fight choreography..
Last 1 hour has more cons.. the british fight scene could've been more brilliance oriented than strength oriented.. When we see hero getting trapped in a situation, we expect him to use his Brain to get out of it than beating the sheet out of people and escaping.. here he escapes from british in silly ways .. and during that fight , an old song is played which was cringe and made the serious scenes look hilarious.. anyway, i enjoyed the movie..
Pengabdi Setan 2: Communion (2022)
Disgrace to the first part.
If you liked the first part , don't watch this . First 1 hour of the movie is nothing but the characters saying unnecessary things , irrelevant to the plot.. till then it's laggy af.. you'll wait for the movie to start, until you realise the whole movie is like that...
The only good thing about the movie is , the quality of film making.. hat's off to the camera man , editor , and cinematographer... The movie is really beautiful to watch.. that's the only reason i watched it till the end.. technically it's good, but story is bad and less horror scenes .. wasted potential to be fair... They could've done it far far better with that story setting and premise , but missed the shot... Unwanted charaters , tried to fit in some comedy that was unnecessary for a movie like this.. some worked... Part 1 was original concept in terms of story and horror scenes.. part 2 feels like they were trying to imitate Hollywood... Be real ,Indonesia...that what i wanna see from you... Had only few horror scenes which was obviously scary , but in the end it was not at all enough to be a scary movie...felt like a normal movie.
