Elimination (2010)
One word "Pathetic"
I can not seem to comprehend why movies like these are allowed to hit the screens. Senseless violence, needless nudity and just plain simple lame CG. The story itself is well, just okay; a bad copy of the SAW series, but the movie itself is completely pathetic. I actually slept half way in the movie, a complete waste of time. The cast did a fair job acting their characters but the way the whole thing unfold is just simply D GRADE if there is one; and if there isn't well, now there is one :)
A word of advise, save a few brain cells watch something else...I feel dumb already....
Kick-Ass (2010)
An action movie of its own kind
Must say, been a while since I last saw an action movie so well put together. The action sequences, the music, the CG all fits in just right. Direction and Production was amazing, and I think they got the name of the movie from the acting skills of these kids....which indeed is Kick-Ass.
However, I do have a small concern and I don't think I will be the only one; do we really need to put bring violence of such extremes to the age group portrayed in the movie? Don't we already have enough violence and unrest among the new generation? Other than that, not a kiddie movie at all; but then again for grown ups....a KICK-ASS action movie!
The Stoning of Soraya M. (2008)
One of the best "true to reality" movies I have ever seen!
"Don't act like the hypocrite, Who thinks he can conceal his wiles, While loudly quoting the Koran - Hafez, 14th Century Iranian Poet".
I have to admit, the direction, production and the casting of this movie was absolutely fabulous. The acting was remarkable, from the very first minute you get "attached" to the characters and actually begin to feel their emotions. Persian being one of the languages I speak, I could relate to the movie to a whole different level.
I couldn't help myself but cry; Islam was the most peaceful religions, yet polluted by lust and greed it has mutated in some what a barbaric per-historic practice. "Womanizing" is indeed the highest sin a Muslim can commit after "Shirk" (considering another Sovereign besides one God), but "Stoning" is the highest degree of punishment. Before this stage the "Mehram" (a man who is either a blood relative, or a husband) has the responsibility to take far less violent steps to try to stop this ill-practice. For instance, it starts with the husband not talking to his wife, then if she continues he would stop sharing his bed and so on and so forth. Under no circumstance, is the Man to physically hit a woman. And what about the Man in all this, just like a woman is to be stoned if all other methods fail (and if proved guilty), a Man is supposed to be lashed 70 times in front of a gathering.
I couldn't help myself but cry, and the last time I cried this hard was eight years back. The innocent women gets the stone while the man is set to roam free. Unfortunately, it is true, nine out of ten times the so called "Justice" is clouded with greed and lust hence...I would definitely recommend this movie to EVERYONE specially those involved with Human Rights, for all that it is about, its about bending the laws and values of a Religion for personal gains, which to me is probably the biggest sin, bigger than Zinah (womanizing) greater than Shirk.
Bless the Cast, Bless the Directors, and Bless everyone involved in the making of this movie; and most of all everyone who fall victims to human lust and greed. Bless us all!
