Review Of Notting Hill

 

C’mon! Means, even I didn’t know that I would be writing reviews on my blog portal of most of the flicks I watched in my School days, and that too after 26 years. C’mon!

And from the song-> She (one of the soundtracks of the flick)

……She may be the reason I survive
why wherefore I'm alive
one I'll care for through rough & ready years
Me, I'll take her laughter & her tears
& make them all my souvenirs…….

One must be thinking I was movieholic. Nope! Yet, a good movie is after all a good piece of Artwork! Correct? So, the way we go to, from museums to bookstores, I used to sometimes get those big movie cassettes, and then CDs, to watch, & sometimes on my computer; again, only a good piece of artwork! Like a good Trance mix on my CD player back then.

Notting Hill was one of them. And today, I watched it again! There was a spark that time even in the Romantic genre. Take example of Vanilla Sky, which I’ve already reviewed. Then Sweet November. The real definition of Freshness! And such Freshness I only saw in the flick Taal in B’Wood! And as I always say, what you call a boutique or custom made or handcrafted one of kind piece; so was with these few artworks which can’t be recreated. A sincere love story.

And then there’s was Ronan Keating’s Nothing At All. BTW, in that period only, another song Life Is A Rollarcoaster (one of my favourite song) also came; thus, one after another gems were coming out.

Coming back to the Review. I don’t write the scripts. Not interested! You just watch the conversations and expressions of/between Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts, and that’s more than enough, with a great background score! Simple! What else do you need?

All said and done, of course, a gem and one of a kind boutique handcrafted piece! 😊

Review Of Mission Impossible Series

 

Before even watching the final reckoning, let me write one truth. One Can’t Replicate Mission Impossible – 2 (‘00), no matter how many more series franchise is infused in the Theatres. Just alike one can’t replicate The Matrix (‘99), no matter how many more subsequent parts being produced. Just alike one can’t replicate Terminator – 2, OR, Rambo – First Blood, OR, GoldenEye, OR, LOTR – Fellowship of the Ring, OR, Hobbits - Desolation Of the Smaug, OR, Gravity, OR, Uplifting Trance Genre of Late 90s & Early 00 Era; and the List goes on & on & on.

Look-> Even back then in My School days, I tried to find a Single Flaw in Mission Impossible – 2, and honestly, I couldn’t find any! Just look at its Music Composition, Designer Costumes, Casting, Actions, Direction by John Woo (One Of My Favourite Director) -> you name just one flaw in the Mission Impossible – 2. It was perfect, alike The Matrix. And the genre of such movies one can’t replicate, even the Same Cast!

Thus, another Mission Impossible is now playing in the theatres, and so far, albeit I haven’t watched it, maybe would watch today or tomorrow, YET, I would stick to the M.I. -  2 only, for being the best of the Franchise been produced So Far.

That’s why there’s something called as a boutique or handmade/handcrafted piece. Why? It would be one of a kind. Wherein the subsequent or several parts of any franchise are Factory made products, and therein the real Problem starts.

Think About it. Am I Wrong? 😊

Review Of Sinners

 

OK! I’ll dissect the root of the script later, but first, what needs to be commended, should be commended. I must say, that I Lied To You was exceptionally executed. Indeed, I’m not into that blues, yet, carried away by the rhythm of that genre.

Now comes another part about the Philosophy of the Devils, which to some extent was not exactly wrong either. Yes, the devils (or vampires or vampires) gave some good vision and logic about the egalitarian society! YET, I’ve one question-> Look! There’re people in the World today who would become both gods and devils, for the sake of fame, money, power, atheism, good life, good family, successful children, leftism, conservatism, centrism and they’ve joined such syndicate also! But honestly, how many amongst them were actually asked by the ORIGINAL Gods or Devils to become One? Means, I’m asking about the ORIGINALs asking anyone, and further, who further received the real scent of either both or one of them? Merely by Pretending or Overacting or Show Offs or Looks or Scaring Others or Believing or Sacrificing; one won’t get the scent neither of the gods nor of the devils! Please Understand!

And even I don’t think so that the Originals (whether Gods or Devils) would elect so many individuals! And honestly why? As it is only the Weak always who want the Followers’. It is only the Weak always who want army of their pleaders. And Not the Visionaries!    

So, in my opinion, first one should do the survey as how many of them who contends to be associated with the Originals, were actually asked or infused by the Originals with their Scent. And I won’t be surprised, if there’re hardly any, or even none at all present in the World.

Please understand! Being a visionary is one thing, like the Vampires were in the flick! But the problem comes masquerading with someone else’s identity, including the identity of the gods, or of the devils, which is indirectly the slander of both gods and devils. Just My Opinion!

And honestly, why the Originals would ever even want to come and contend for fame? That’s greed! Which the originals too would denounce!

Now coming back the review of the movie. A well executed craft of art which tries to draw the balance between the history and the present that needs to be changed. But again, as per my opinion, the originals wont give their scent to everyone, maybe not even to anyone, under the ambit of  better life or fame or good career! This needs to be made clear to everyone.

Hailey Stainfeld, I also reviewed the Dickinson series long back, the series, due to the presence of  Emily’ life, I liked a lot, despite that not being the exact life story of the Emily. And Stack’s performance too is prodigious.

Thus, one needs to understand that, the concept of egalitarian society is good, but the vision should be differently executed, and not like this!

All said & done, a good craftsmanship, and a good watch! 😊
