Christ Rises

The Passion of the Christ (2004)

[heart wrenching masterpiece]

The Passion of the Christ (2004)
IMDB-7.1
Rottentomatoes-50
RJG rating-100

The last 12 hours of Jesus Christ..

Starring- Jim Caviezel,Maia Morgenstern
Director- Mel Gibson

Even after 8 years Mel Gibson's epic Passion of Christ stands strong among the minds of all...No one else had the courage or expertise to capture the raw intensity of Christ's final hours like Gibson did..
The movie doesnt gloss over Christ's peaceful life like other movies,instead it deeply and painfully paints a raw picture of the last hours of Christ....

Jim Caviezel ,as Jesus ,gives the performance of a lifetime..His major mode of communication is through his one eye..Every line that escapes his mouth makes a deep impact and his body language tells more than anything...
Maia Morgenstern as Mary, is just heart breaking to watch.Every scene of her and Jesus in the flashbacks can reduce one to tears...Once again its not by words but by raw emotions that feelings are expressed..

Mel Gibson's third directorial venture, after critically acclaimed Braveheart & Man Without A Face ,Passion once again is a powerful movie that emotionally captures your attention...Famous for the climax torture scene in Braveheart, Gibson doesnt hold back anything in this movie...Its a pure bloody movie..Not for the weak hearted..Hats-off to Gibson..

Though brutal & bloody ,the movie stays true to the theme of the epic story of Jesus, as written in The Bible...Many scenes are spiced up or added to keep the movie going in a strong pace..But in no way does it undermine the Bible ,since its actually filling the blanks in the story...These scenes are for the viewers ,for them to experience the time in which these events take place...

The music by John Debney is outstanding and raises the intensity of every scene..

Very few movies have actually brought me to tears,but im proud to say Passion is one of them...A must watch....

Person Of Interest [1x19] Flesh & Blood

TV com Rating-9.7
RJG Rating-9.5

Reese & Finch once again cross paths with Elias ,this time they have to protect 5 mob bosses from him..

POI seems to have no trouble raising up strong characters and giving them solid backgrounds..They did it with Finch ,then Reese ..This time they painted a brillant backstory for the arch nemesis ,Elias.. The backstory was short and touching ,with a strong resemblence to the Godfather stories...No worries though ,the writers have pulled off yet another great episode...

Community [3x14]

Community [3x14] Pillows and Blankets

TV com rating- 9.7

The most disastrous war in Greendale.

Community strikes & its freaking amazing..The last 2 seasons each had a similar war (both being epic paintball fights)...For a change this time its a pillow fight..The way its shot and presented is what makes it more amazing...A war documentary..EPIC....The show keeps outdoing itself ...

Monsieur Lazhar (2011)

[bit boring,yet good]

Monsieur Lazhar (2011) ---- French
IMDB-7.7
RJG rating-60

An immigrant joins a school as a substitute teacher where the students have witnessed a tragic incident..

Starring- Mohamed Fellag, Sophie Nélisse
Director- Philippe Falardeau

Monsieur Lazhar is a light dramatic movie which deals with how people react to grief and tragedy..

Acting is pretty solid from the entire cast.Mohammed & Sophie are outstanding..
The story is simple yet slightly twisted..Yet it doesnt have much to tell..The movie's main priority is on how each character reacts to grief..Thus some scenes tend to get boring..
Direction is smooth & manages to keep the movie in a positive tone rather than taking a depressimg route..
The movie isnt exactly for casual viewers ,its more 'enjoyable' to artistic viewers..

Acting- 4.5/5
Story- 3/5
Direction- 3.5/5
Drama- 4/5

Sleep Tight (2011)

[a perfect villain]

Sleep Tight (2011) --- Spanish
IMDB- 7.0
RJG Rating- 75

A watchman makes the life of a resident miserable ...

Starring- Luis Tosar ,Marta Etura
Director- Jaume Balagueró

Sleep Tight is directed by Jaume Balagueró, who is well known for directing the REC series..

The movie is a chilling tale supported by strong performance by Luis Toscar ,the main character...

It starts a bit slow but its as the movie progresses that it reveals its true layers....Even though the end is inevitable and sort of predictable , the way its potrayed is amazing...

Sleep Tight is a rare movie of sorts in which the main character is a twisted villain..And Luis does a wonderful job...

Acting- 4/5
Story- 3.5/5
Direction- 3.5/5
Suspense- 4/5
