Source Code (2011)

Ladies and Gentleman ... Duncan Jones .... once again.

After creating a beautiful movie like 'Moon' Duncan has done it again. Albeit the story wasn't written by him this time (Ben Ripley wrote it), his direction was just brilliant. A story like Source Code needed a director like him eh! and of course great actors like Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, Vera Farmiga. Jeffrey Wright, Michael Arden and Russell Peters did their bit in the flick.

Source code had more than a brilliant story to offer. It had both action and drama intermingled and must I say it proved to be a pretty good fest altogether. Jake Gyllenhaal is getting better day by day, whoa he was already good wasn't he since his teen years (Donnie Darko and October Sky still rule). With great movies like The Day after tomorrow, Brokeback mountain, Jarhead, Zodiac, Rendition, Brothers,
Prince of Persia and Love and other drugs, he has another thriller to his name – Source Code where he Is the protagonist once again.

In the movie he poses as a soldier who wakes up to find himself a part of a mission wherein he is supposed to find a bomber who is going to strike again as is told to him by Vera Farmiga. Source Code enables him to take someone else's identity and revisit those 8 minutes just before the train is brought to splinters by the bomb. No matter how many times he dies he is supposed to find the bomber and the bomb. The question is can he do it?

Watch the flick for yourself because it's an action packed thriller which would definitely rivet you to your seats till the end. Some class acting by Jake, Michelle and Vera. A must watch. 8 on 10

The Silence of the lambs (1991)

The finest movie I've ever seen. Hannibal, the mere sight of him makes me scream like a girl, he is so dangerous. You would be shuddered by the way he speaks while to top all that he is a cannibal. The film trilogy is one of the finest series I have ever seen. Be it be, Jodie Foster or Julianne Moore or any other it has always be an amazing experience watching the brutal yet genius psychopath at work.

He knows what you are thinking, he knows when you are lying, he knows the way a psycho thinks because he is the ultimate psychopath. Dr. Hannibal Lecter, the name brings you the shivers. The fact that he devours human flesh is horrifying itself.

No one could do it better than Anthony Hopkins! No wonder he got an Oscar for the role.

While Jodie Foster is busy finding a psycho killer Buffalo Bill, she is asked to take every aid she could get from the god of Psychos himself, Dr. Hannibal Lecter(Anthony Hopkins) who used to be a well known psychiatrist, who is a cannibal yet a genius at comprehending the human behavior. Pretty queer interests for a top class shrink, eh! He is ready to help her only if she lets him wade through her inner soul so as to assist her as well. She is forced to comply every now and then with his witty sarcasm as she has to win his confidence to acquire as much assistance possible to capture Buffalo Bill before he 'skins' another(Watch it to comprehend the patterns).

Everything about the movie was wonderful. The way Anthony studied his subjects; his sarcasm, his accent and vocabulary were all captivating.

The movie's screenplay is the most apposite screenplay ever. The pun like 'I'm having a friend for dinner' is one of the finest lines that I can bring back to memory.

The one directed by Ridley Scott(Hannibal), however, wasn't as good as those directed by Jonathan Demme and Brett Ratner(Red Dragon) but then again it was Thomas Harris altogether, so no comments there.

Awesome flick, the greatest thriller and suspense movie of all times. I'd be a fool if I wouldn't suggest you this one. Go for the trilogy today!
