Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest(2006)


A sequel better than it's original !

once again the filmi "kahani" is written that moves around "Once again thrown into the world of the supernatural, Captain Jack Sparrow finds out that he owes a blood debt to the legendary Davey Jones, Captain of the ghostly Flying Dutchman. With time running out, Jack must find a way out of his debt or else be doomed to eternal damnation and servitude in the afterlife. And as if this weren't enough, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann are arrested and sentenced to death unless Will can get Lord Beckett Jack's compass, who are forced to join Jack on yet another misadventure."
The movie released in India on 23rd september (again Hollywood studio's foolish think to release it lately in asian circuit in name of stop piracy). Movie grossed 100 million $ in just 2 days record time, beating previous records.

ratings : 10/10

notes: runtime is almost 150 min (long enough for ppl who says hollywood flicks are only 1& 1/2hr long) . funny thing is in US it got rated PG-13 for intense sequences of adventure violence, including frightening images, lol. I cheked it's english & dubbed hindi version in cinema. @the moment no TC is avilable for it.

& yes , gr8 lovely hug to Keira Knightley.

Platoon (1986)

Notes: oh yea , I hate Charlie Sheen ( duno why ! ) , beware of gory scenes on movie.

V for Vendetta (2005)


oh , too much work & busy life so , just got time to review this film.

so, in short, the film is something like "The futuristic tale unfolds in a Great Britain that's a fascist state. A freedom fighter known as V (Weaving) uses terrorist tactics to fight the oppressive society. He rescues a young woman (Portman) from the secret police, and she becomes his unlikely ally."

The film is based on Allan Moore's novel with same name as film. Film having sequences based on some of our recent past war drama like Iraq ,Afghanistan (thats my views ).

Ratings : 9/10

note: a must watch with catch line " remember remember the 5th of November "
