megzworld Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Just watched Senna Its an amazing and moving film of the the late F1 Driving legend, Ayrton Senna. Im not a fan of F1, infact I dislike the sport, but I absolutely loved the movie. Constructed entirely out of footage from behind the scenes or TV footage along with interviews. It puts together exactly everything Senna overcame to become a triple world champion up to his sad demise on the racing track. Its a must watch irrespective of whether you are a racing fan or not. Senna : 9/10 Wow.. DVD available in India?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sufyan Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 I have been watching a lot of Spanish movies lately. Saw this one last night. It's called , The Secret in Their Eyes (El Secreto de Sus Ojos). This film has won the Best Foreign Language Oscar. Expertly written, played and directed. The actors really have eyes that speaks a thousand words.. One of the nicest romantic mystery I have seen till date. The wonder is that the film balances its many genres, from the horrific rape and murder to the bloom of romance to the ugly politics, with such easy grace. And I loved the Dialogues. Very real, very deep and just when required. Some may find the movie a bit slow.. but I loved the pace by which it opens up the mystery. I don't know the names of the Actors.. but the two main characters are just awesome Actors. I highly recommend http://www.entertainmentwallpaper.com/images/desktops/movie/the_secret_in_their_eyes01.jpg Its an Argentine movie but yeah agree with your review its an excellent movie. Speaking of Spanish movies,watched Pan's Labyrinth last week and it was god-tier level of brilliance.The best foreign language film i have seen.

shekdown Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Wow.. DVD available in India?? Im not sure. Friend lent me his HDD and it was on it. Pretty certain landmark should have it, though. Its a very popular documentary and I think an Indian directed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 we indians are nuts about f1, pretty ludicrous though. I am not a fan myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Watched Captain America. Worthless in 3D since its the fake 3D, but a decent flick overall. The action sequences were quite fun and I liked the attention to detail such as the embossed winglets on his helmet and the frequent use of the shield. Red Skull's CGI makeup was pretty awesome as was the pre-serum Steve Rogers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shekdown Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 For Spanish films, you should watch Rec 1 and Rec 2, both horror films. Pans Labyrinth a fantasy thriller. Motor Cycle Diaries which is the real life story of Che Guevara. It doesnt focus much on his revolutinary days but focuses on why such an intelligent, well educated boy who just became a doctor and was from a rich family, chose to become a revolutionary. Its excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Its based on the book with the same name. City of God is Portugese, which is somewhat similar to Spanish Ive heard, is one of the best films made till date. Ammores Perros. The movie inspired Aayuthai Ezhuthu/Yuva. Again rated very highly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megzworld Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Two more films that I would highly recommend are: 1. Sin Nombre 2. Maria full of grace Sin Nombre , I would buy the DVD and keep, it's that good!! The treatment is astonishing, given its sharp script, technical proficiency and pacing. The cast is top-notch. Very believable. Awesome Cinematography.. Opened my eyes, to the trials and challenges of people that I was not even aware of. Yup, there are some gory scenes and violence but all telling story, and not for effects. Must watch guys, if you have'nt already. Maria Full of Grace, The Actress who plays Maria..is so compelling, she plays the part so well, taking the film on her shoulder. Totally believable. I really like this show called Jailed Abroad, and this film again depicted the journey of a Drug Mule..but with a difference. A girl who wants to break away, a strong independent , dreamer girl dares to take a risk this big to change her life.. Stunning movie.. Do watch.
