On earth...Lahore
[MENTION=4840]shahbakht[/MENTION] very weird movie but awesome concept haha ! saw this months ago.


Loft 6/10
wasn't as thrilling as i was expecting it to be, although i had imagined who the killer would be and it was like always ! so thrill went down there.

the girl is in trouble: 6.5/10
a bit of an exciting drama, good stuff and cons and such... the twist was good in there

the deadlands: 6.5/10
watched as just a casual movie but it turned out to be better than expected...

camp X-ray: 7/10
a good movie but never really told us the harsh reality behind guantanamo, just tried to shed light on how their soldiers are good and what not. sugar coated i'd say but apart from that the chemistry between the prisoner and soldier was nice

AMERICAN SNIPER (2014)


I don't know whats worse in this hunk of crap. The fact that it was nominated at academy awards, or its $300 million performance at box office. An Oscar nomination pretty much sums up whatever the f*ck is wrong with Academy Awards; they happen to care less about "art" and more about projecting lies like these to the whole world, glorifying its 'greatness'. The obvious bullsh*t propaganda it tries to boast, as well as the 'Americans are top of all the other races' philosophy, turn this horrible nightmare into a preposterous example of how NOT to make a movie, something which is elaborated beautifully with a phrase from the movie, "dick 'em down". Typical.

Without indulging further into the abyss of high level BS involved, American Sniper describes the 'legendary' tale of deadliest sniper (meh) in US history, which falls flat on its face. Yeah, 'butcher' was presented a perfect asshole making it a must to remove his ass from planet earth, and 'Mustafa' was a magnificent pain in the ass, but even the terrific acting by Bradley Cooper doesn't bring that passion into this boring piece. Whatever war does to a soldier, Cooper's eyes reflected that guilt and desire to kill more for effective payback.

That final long shot's CGI made it feel funny. The mix-up of personal and professional life was all over the place, with the wife (Sienna Miller) acting ... well, cheap. Action scenes are okay-ish, but i have seen better. So what does American Sniper excel at? NOTHING. 5/10 Frankly, i feel horrible for wasting my damn time. Not often do i watch a movie, which i just want to quit, but won't because i have a policy of finishing what i start. Just discard all that hype, or get onboard. Whatever.

Let's hope
The biggest complaint is these r just flying robots, even Thor with his hammer n electric storm would have been enough for them.
BTW that vision which tony stark was showed by scarlet witch of a huge army coming through a portal in space, is it related to Infinity wars?

Stretch: A very weird kind of movie. There was 2 or 3 moments when I was like “WTF” 6.5/10.

American Sniper: Nothing special. I don’t understand why it was nominated for so many categories. Bradley Cooper’s acting was good though 6/10.

Badlapur: A good quality bollywood movie they make that kind of movie once a year. Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s acting was superb 8/10.

Roy: One word for this movie BAKWAASS 3/10.

Kill me 3 times: One story with 3 different perspectives good for time pass 6.5/10.

Seventh Son: That old man (Jeff bridges) looked very good & funny in this movie. Story was not that good but visuals were good 7/10.

The Avengers Age of Ultron: Saw it in IMAX. Story was not as good it should be but there were some excellent action scenes some good laughs here and there. But I would say first one was better and one more thing I don’t understand that
Spoiler: show
in mid credit scene they showed all four stones in Thanos gloves!! How is that possible when one stone is still fixed in vision’s forehead?
But any way I enjoyed it 7.5/10.

Maggie: 6/10

Arnold Schwarzenegger in a zombie flick for the first time! Yeah, excited right? Well, I reacted in the same way, but, to my wild suprise it was a different kind of a story.
It has a poignant storyline, and, not the usual stuff you'd like to see in a zombie-apocalyptic movie. The movie also proves that if the need be, Schwarzenegger can be really good and effective in non-violent roles. The credit also goes to the actress(Abigail Breslin) who plays his daughter - Maggie. She supported him well. Having said all that, the story is slow-paced. But yeah, overall it is worth a watch.

Between age of ultron n infinity wars ... There will be 6 more marvel movies n like in the past, these stones appeared in different movies not in avengers only movie. Remember tasarect n aether in Thor, other one in GOTG n 4th one In this AOU. So only two r left now one being time related n other being what ;)

N guess where r these 4 now? One on someone's head, other in the Asgard third with that galactic police in guardians of the Galaxy n 4th one ... Hmmm they last time dropped it at collector's shop which got destroyed in GOTG. So I reckon the last scene of thanos wearing his glove n those infinity stones r all collected in next few movies n when he says that he will do it himself, is actually him coming with that army to destroy earth which tony stark was seeing in a vision in AOU shown by scarlet witch.
So am I right so far

There is no reason for Thanos to come to destroy earth for anything but Vision. The other three stones are not on earth and another one won't be either. The one we will see in November 2016 in Doctor Strange might be the only one alongside Vision' that are on earth. Two are in Odin' vault and one is with Nova Corps while I think the one we will encounter in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 or Thor Ragnarok will be with Nova Corps or in Odin' vault depending on where we see it.
Thanos will have no problem retrieving the one (or two) stone(s) from Nova Corps. He will, though have a real problem with the one in Odin' vault. Odin is very powerful in Asgard and Thanos knows he can't defeat Odin in Asgard. It will be interesting to see how he retrieves them in maybe Thor Ragnarok, after Asgard is in ashes? Or perhaps in Infinity War 1
He will have come earth for one (or two) stone(s). He would wanna rip Vision apart naturally and that where he will have to deal with the Avengers for first time. it will probably happen in Infinity War 1 and will likely annihilate all of the Avengers single handedly.
Nova Corps is easy unless Guardians interfere but they too won't be much of a problem even with Adam Warlock.

And so at the end of Infinity War 1, he will wield the Infinity Gauntlet and boom
