Buried (2010)
Minimum Input Maximum Output – A Masterpiece
Brilliant, Awesome, Great words doesn't end. If you want to see a movie that keeps you guessing all the way and keeps you at the edge of the seat BURIED is the answer. Wow what a movie. Buried is the excellent piece of cinema I have seen from a long time. How to maximize the output with minimum input BURIED is the excellent example of it. Yes minimum input in the sense that only one man appear on the screen and whole of the story takes place in the coffin itself.... yes you read it right coffin. It is an excellent example how a gripping story and a wonderful screenplay can do. Filming a film on extravagant locations and eye catching scenes can fail if the story and screenplay doesn't deliver. Now coming on to the story Ryan Reynolds suddenly wakes up in coffin buried under the ground and he is with a lighter and a cell phone and with 90 min of oxygen. How he get there? What he has done to suffer like this? How will he survive? Will he get out? What he will do with lighter and cell phone? These all are the questions that you will ask to yourself while watching this movie. Interesting fact is that with every minute you can expect twist and turns. And I bet you, you won't be able to predict them. Now talking about the acting and performance there is not much to talk as there is only one actor on the screen throughout the film and that is Ryan Reynolds but he has given a terrific performance A performance of his lifetime. Words can't do justice to his performance. Inside the coffin his performance is just brilliant. His facial expression his emotions are just perfect. Even in this coffin he goes through every emotion possible like pain, frustration, happiness, sorrow, anger, hatred. His performance is one of the best performance as he depicts all these emotions as he is really trapped in coffin. Camera work is at its level best. As you know this story takes place inside a coffin buried under the ground so camera work has to be its level best because story telling has to be done through camera. But I can say that camera is the second hero in this movie first one is of course Ryan. When I first heard of the film I thought how many twist and turn can a story take inside a coffin but I am really amazed to see there were many twists and turns in this movie. I bet you nobody can predict what will happen next. Every scene comes with a great surprise. Yes I feel ending could have been different but that is what this film is all about it never goes as you expect it to go. To sum up I feel this is one of the best movies made in recent time and everyone who is a cinema lover should see this and praise it. So it is highly recommended... A must see...

Faster (2010)
..Not Fast enough..
Yes I have to admit it that I expected better movie than this one. In other words it was not as fast as I expected it to be. Starting was excellent I must say this. But as it went on it story and pace just flattened out. Film just went on one track. No twists no turns. Just one twist but that was also not great enough. Direction was OK but not special as I expected and this doesn't go with the title. Story just moved in only one direction. Now talking about acting The Rock just had one expression all through the film. He just wanted revenge and killed people. Just one more thing he managed to survive two bullet shots through his head. I can't figure it out how he managed to do this magic. All the burden of this film was on the shoulder of our wrestler but he can't do much when he has nothing to do in this movie. There was not enough action also. The villain was the story and screenplay and it could have better. Story had some potential. One more thing Rock just killed as easy as there was no one to stop him. So in the end to sum up the things it could have been better. Don't go with high hopes. Just one time watch movie.

Hyenas (2011)
..Wanna be Werewolf Flick..
I first saw the trailer of this movie and then I decided to see this. But I was disappointed to see this wanna be werewolf movie. Ya I hated it. Story was not great enough to arise some kind of horror or excitement. All it had are some Hyenas want to hunt Humans that's it. The Alfa of the group or I should say leader of the group shedding clothes and hunting humans that's it. This entire movie had nothing else. This movie had some potential but failed to deliver. It tried to give some twists but not good enough as I figured it out very early. Special effects were awful and not up to the mark. Transformation scenes were very bad. Some of characters that were displayed is this movie I can't figure it out why they were in this movie further there was not any relation between some of the scenes. Acting was not good enough to arise some kind of thrill. Screenplay was not great enough to arise some interest. All this movie did is just replaced Hyenas instead of wolves and tried to create a movie that had nothing in it. Total waste of time.
