This was even better than the first one. The action sequences are awesome in this movie. Tom looked more stylish with his long hair. Check out the theme songs and the OST by Metallica "I disappear", zap mama iko iko, and one by Limp Bizket. The songs are rocking.

The Beach (2000): Great adventure movie

Posted by maneesh On June - 17 - 2010

Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio
Tilda Swinton
Virginie Ledoyen

If you like to travel, explore places and always on the lookout for adventure then this is the movie for you. Leonardo was outstanding, the plot and the story was superb. I had a great 2 hours, and to add that the music was great. Simply amazing. The story is that Leonardo goes traveling to Thailand and he founds a secret map of an uninhabited sort of island with a beautiful beach. The whole place was run by dope farmers and hence begins the adventure. If you like traveling, you will love this.

Cast Away (2000): Must Watch

Posted by maneesh On June - 16 - 2010

Cast: Tom Hanks
Helen Hunt

Now, that's the best example of a perfect adventure movie. Tom Hanks is as usual incredible in his performance. The story is about a guy who works for FedEx and his plane crashes and he lands in to a deserted island. I liked the way he talks with the volleyball and calls it Wilson. Here he spends many years and somehow returns back to the civilization. He founds out that his girlfriend has married to another guy. The movie is very touchy in the end and will make you cry. It's a must watch. The movie received two academy awards, one for Tom Hanks as the best actor and the other for best sound.
