Nobody said it.This time it's all me.Life isn't like in the movies.Life... is much harder

Once when Farhan Akthar director of Dil Chahta Hai was interviewed on his passion on movies ,he said “one day I want to make a movie like Mean streets”.I didn ’t realise what could be this movie that day.Some day when you feel so dull or with your usual things ,you got to watch Scorsese.Scorsese is a specimen which can be never matched.Name any of his movies; every thing has its unique style ,though mostly it revolves around drug,Mafia or violence.The other day when Mathi and I were discussing on Scorsese Mrs. Mathi was furious to say Scorsese repeats his movie in different names. Mathi jumped to justify but I kept quiet,She should watch Mean streets for it uniqueness as a movie and style. Meanstreets also involves Mafia ,Violence but it moves around friends .It deduces among two friends Good Guy Charlie( Harvey Keitel ) who is the nephew of Local Mafia boss and the other guy Johnny boy ( Robert De Niero )who is mentally unstable . Charlie is tested by his friendship with John...

I remember watching X files when it came in Star Plus( It was actually in FOX channel where X Files started its series ) during the 90’s but I didn ’t follow it as I wasn ’t able to understand during that age.I wanted to watch X files when its sequel got released recently. This movie released in 1998 was expected much because of the hugely successful TV series X files .I am not a Sci Fi movies fan though I liked this concept of X Files. X Files starts with a Bomb threat and when FBI Special Agents Mulder (David Duschovny ) and Scully (Gillian Andesron ),draw up their attention towards it ,they smell some thing seriously going on hidden from real world . A team is trying to cover up a virus so brutal, so fast and so unassailable that nothing can stop it extinguishing the human race. Mulder reaches the alien sources , and Scully with her medical expertise determines that effects of the Virus.Mulder’s Father’s friend gives some important information about the team which hides .Mulder a...

The Bank Job is a moving ,thrilling and shocking movie which can get in to your nerves so easily from the very beginning of the movie.Lots of movies have been made on Bank Robbery but this one comes with varied intentions of varied people in the robbery.Its always great to Watch Jason Stathom playing the criminal beating the cops.How much time we have watched this man doing this ? but still he has lot to offer in this similar roles.
