The Movies I Liked

Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 & 12.2 Speakers
Ponniyin Selvan 1 (Mani Rathnam 2022) (8/10)

Great execution by Mani but the lengthy dialogue editing and continuity issues cuts off two points. Very good visual effects and arts choreography. Highly recommended.

12 angry men has nothing to do with Tarantino. Tarantino cant even make a single film without a Mexican standoff or guns or his trademark film universe of characters overlapping in different films and other easter eggs.

Completely unfair take, in my opinion, brother. I seriously believe, his dailogues can by themselves earn him a space at the top.

I am not saying his films are not good. However they are not simple in narrative style. A little conceited if you are a fan of normal simple cinema.

Today I re-watched "Deep end of the ocean" after a long time. Maybe i had watched it in the theater back in late 90s and so although i knew the plot and remembered the ending, still got goose bumps seeing the character ark the Sam/Ben character goes through and the sibling relationship that is so subtly dealt with, made me clap after the film ended and title credits rolled. Now i dont remember one Tarantino movie that made me do it.

Fair enough, you are talking about subjectivity, there maybe folks which do the same for QT's movies, Don't you think?.
My limited point is, we can not compare forms and choices of different people and use it to discredit others completely.

I was moved by Stalker and my folks look at me like someone with issues.
 
"Bullet train" - Not everyones choice i guess. I enjoyed it. Dark comedy and Action.
Theerpu (Malayalam) - Its okish not boring. Like the way they end it
Girl in the picture (Documentary) - Good Narrative. Just can't digest the fact that real life can be so brutal as shown in some dramas

PS: Started "Dahmer"

Same here ongoing..."Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story" series
 
Teheran - Season 1 & 2. Nice spy thriller especially the season 2 is nicely done. This is similar to the TV series Fauda. If you liked watching Fauda this would definitely interest you.
