Rush Hour (1998)
Great Entertainment
I know this movie does not have a fresh concept but for some reason it's one of my personal favorite. I love action and I love comedy and this has the perfect combination of both.When I first saw this about a decade ago it was a laugh riot, when I viewed again few years later it was equally entertaining. Although a simple plot the pace of the movie, dialogue, situations and above all the chemistry between Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker is fantastic. Though many will disagree for me James Carter is probably the funniest character ever.
I have rated movies which are superior than this lower but for me its a 10/10 keeping in my mind my expectations and judging it for the type of movie it is. So if you are someone who doesn't scrutinize every thing they see and in mood for some lighthearted action/comedy this is highly recommended.
The Conjuring (2013)
A Proper Horror Film
This was probably the only movie that came close to scaring me recently. The atmosphere of the movie is outstanding and succeeds in keeping the element of suspense throughout. Viewers especially those who believe in the theme are bound to experience some chills. The movie does have some flaws which includes a familiar plot but some amazing acting, cinematography, style etc sets it apart from others, credit to James Wan for that.
I feel just when horror movies were losing its true identity and gory movies were being called horror, movies like Insidious, Mama etc are a step in the right direction in reviving this genre. Among this bunch The Conjuring stands out so far and with its success I soon expect to see some more movies which are damn scary and rated R for terror alone.
Hera Pheri (2000)
Great Comedy Film
This along with Andaz Apna Apna are my most favorite Bollywood Comedy Movies. Every time I watch Heara Pheri I just can't stop laughing. The first time I watched it I couldn't sleep most of that night because I just continued to laugh on my bed.10 on 10 for me. Although I enjoyed other comedy movies of Priyadarshan like Hungama, Hulchul & Garam Masala and thought those were no less than Hera Pheri, but later when I watched those again they were not so funny as Hera Pheri. Akshay Kumar's acting was great but Paresh Rawal with his character Babu Rao is the one who steals the show, Sunil Shetty, Tabu and Om Puri also played their parts well.
Hera Pheri I believe is a milestone in Bollywood because it showed that you don't always need a emotional romantic/patriotic movie to produce a Hit Movie. This movie started a much needed trend of Bollywood Comedies that relied more on stories, errors and confusions for its fun element breaking away from those cliché slapstick comedies of David Dhawan starring Govinda.
However the sequel to this movie Phir Hera Pheri I must say was disappointing, the first half was OK but the second half was really poor especially the circus scenes. That movie I guess lacked the Priyadarshan touch . Anyways there are talks about a third version of Hera Pheri and that I hope will be as funny as this one.
BTW this movie is a remake of a Southern Movie...So those who have a problem with remakes and also those who lack a Sense of Humor should stay away.
