Though he has a name in all the movies. LOL.

All these movies are:

1. Glorify the villain / machinations which are connotations of bad human intent.
2. Extremely stylish in outlook. You will have to see them over and over again to understand this. For example the riding boots with spurs, the over coats (in fact all the attire), the pistol holsters and last but not the least: the guns themselves. You will see long-barreled revolvers with high-set hammers. Also some classic rifles: like a Winchester over-under, and a Sharps Rifle with ladder-peep-sight...!You actually see the hammers striking/making contact in most of the draws and scenes.
3. Have a haunting and memorable background score composed by Ennio Morricone; which transcends as the movie/scene is progressing.
4. Minimalistic story-lines with intricate sub-plots.
5. Almost negligible female presence...!
6. Breath-taking locales -mostly- shot in Spain, but you will think this it is pre-civil war America. The terrain is dusty and rugged.
7. Wondrous camera angles which Tarantino and RGV swear by.
8. Testosterone riddled caste-sequences.
9. Ever green dialogues.
10. Repeat value.

My phone rom has the classic Good, Bad and Ugly as default ringtone - brought back memories! :rolleyes:

And add the fact that some actors were speaking in their native language which was dubbed later - you can make out if you watch closely.

Blondie rules!

Once Upon A Time - was a bit too slow for me. Stopped midway. Need to complete

Ya, it was released in Italian initially. The extended version has some scenes (almost 15 minutes) in Italian cause there was no dubbing done. Once Upon a Time is quite a classic. Sholay lifted a lot of scenes from that. Plus Charles Bronson looked so good. And that haunting harmonica theme.

Do aankhein baarah haath (1958) - 9/10

a very fine work, or very well, a masterpiece of Indian and world cinema, would i term this! story, acting, cinematography, portrayal/deliverance of subtle and powerful emotions and messages, all speak of 'class'! refined, meaningful, old-school (superior) cinema!!

^I had seen that few years ago, I really enjoyed it. Classic movie!

Today I saw WWZ, I haven't read the book, but on the whole I enjoyed the movie. Would give 7/10. Don't know why so many people hated this.

Yup me too enjoyed WWZ. Initially i though meh this will be just another zombie movie. But the tension and uncertainty was palpable throughout. Well made zombie movie. Especially the scene
with the hordes of zombies climbing the great wall of Israel gave me chills

Havent watched much british comedies, but the way i see it, there are 2 kinds of british comedy- Dialogue driven like Blackadder which really bored me and situational ones like IT Crowd and Coupling which are easily the most hilarious comedies ive ever seen. Which category does Alan Partridge belong to?

It's a mix of both, you won't be disappointed.
 
The Place Beyond the Pines - 7/10
The Wolverine - 7.5/10
The Lorax - 7/10 (Good animated movie)
Pacific Rim - 8/10 (Underrated movie. Yes, the story was cliched, but the robot fight scenes were really well done. There was such a large God of War-esque sense of scale to the fights. And nobody's done anything like this before on a movie budget with this much eye candy).

I prefer Honest over Cinemasins because most of it is just nitpicking. A lot of their "sins" are usually misplacement of objects and other minor plotholes plus you gotta love the narrator on HT.

Honest trailers, Cinema Sins and HISHE are three very different things. I like them all for what they are. :)
