Oh boy, this was even more boring than the first three parts. Here the Shark comes for revenge, Oh man I can't take this Jaws stuff no more. Now I will not watch any fifth part, is there's one.

Evil Dead 2 (1987)

Posted by maneesh On December - 5 - 2010

Cast: Bruce Campbell
Sarah Berry

Well, if you compare this movie with the first part, you will be amazed that this one is not very scary as the first one. Maybe due to bans and all the directors have thought to make it a bit lighter as the audiences are finding it difficult to digest the horror. This was not a bad movie but I felt that they have just tried to turn the horror a bit down.

Full Metal Jacket (1987): Great war movie: Must Watch

Posted by maneesh On December - 2 - 2010

Cast: Matthew Modine
Adam Baldwin
Vincent D'Onofrio
R. Lee Ermey

No special star cast but the story is simply great. It shows the training of Vietnam veterans and how they fought. The training was done by Ronald Lee Ermey. Ronald was a real (retired) U.S. Marine Corps drill instructor. The training is the heart and soul of the movie. In some places you will laugh your heart out. A must watch.
