Introduction Scene.....

Typical Costume of Indiana Jones

Even before “Surrogates” I had this movie in my mind to write here.

Steven Spielberg – Harrison Ford. What a combination! When you go to a movie which has one of the best directors and one of the best actors, you will expect more. This movie has live up to its expectation & reputation and got success for its lethal combination. No disappointment to the fans at all.

This is the first movie of Indiana Jones franchise. When you see Indiana Jones, he may remind you a little bit of James Bond. But still he excels in his own style. This movie was released on June 12, 1981 and won in five categories (Art Direction, Film Editing, Sound, Visual Effects, and Sound Effects Editing) in 1982 Academy Awards.

In this movie, Indiana Jones takes Nazis who are in search for the Ark of the Covenant, in an attempt to make their army invincible. How the treasure hunter-cum-archeologist fights the Nazis and overcome them forms the rest of the story.

Following the huge success, there are 3 more movies in this series till date. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

My favorite order in this series is...

1. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
2. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
3. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
4. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)

Thanks to two legends, Sean Connery and Harrison Ford, I enjoyed the humor very much in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”. You can also say in comments about your favorite one from this list!

I’ve watched some of old Basil Rathbone starred Sherlock Holmes movies, released in 1940s. Holmes always involved in finding a solution for the crime with his detective work rather than hand-to-hand combat. But it was in 1940s. Let’s wait how our new Holmes works!

This movie is going to be released on December 25, 2009.

It’s Bruce’s movie again – Surrogates. Surrogates is a sci-fi film directed by Jonathan Mostow. In 2017, people live or work from home. All the work they have to do is done by their remote-controlled bodies also known as “Surrogates”.

Whatever happened to their surrogates, people are supposed to be alive and safe. But after some murders, FBI Agent Tom Greer (Bruce Willis) starts the investigation. Can Tom able to find the motive behind these murders? Why did these murders happen? That’s what “Surrogates” answers.

To give an honest review about this movie, ummm….some may like it, some may not. I fall under the later category. Couple of action sequences is good and Art Direction is good. No other thing seems to be interesting. And I would like to ask a question, what is the logic that Surrogates are looking much better than real people?

When I go to watch Bruce’s movies, “Die Hard” always comes to my mind. So expectations are always high! Hope Bruce would strike in his next release “A Couple of Dicks”

Well, this is one of the best action films ever I have seen. That’s why I start with this movie. Bruce Willis – One of my favorite actors. But that is not the reason for this movie being in my favorite list. In fact, I don’t like some of Bruce’s movies.

Then what I like? Thrilling screenplay, fantastic action, both protagonist and antagonist’s acting. Generally in James Bond movies, their costume will never fold and they will be in stylish from start to end of the movie (But I like all James Bond movies too except Daniel Craig’s). But in this movie, Bruce is get wounded, no shoes, no shirt, gets his dress torn…looks like he’s not a typical hero. He is not a superman, he’s afraid, he’s fighting, and he’s a loving husband, to simply say…he’s just a normal cop and a normal person.

But being just a normal cop, he still wants to fight the antagonist to save the hostages which included his wife. Remember he’s just having only one gun, so he uses his brain, makes some plans, take some risks and finally save the people. Only after watched this movie, I became Bruce’s fan.

Yippeee-Kay-Yay……

Why this blog?

Those who are close to me know very well that I’m really really crazy about movies. To me, since childhood, Hollywood movies means only Jackie Chan movies and Jurassic Park series. Just 2 years before, I started to watch some fantastic Hollywood movies in DVD.

Then I felt that I have missed a lot of good movies. Since then I have been watching a lot of Hollywood movies. My favorite genre are Action/Thriller/Crime. So in this blog, I’m gonna write about the movies which I like very much. These movies may be old to so many people. But I just want to write in my words Why I like this movie, What I like in this movie etc.

Probably I would write about one or two movies on every Sunday.... comments
