The Best Offer (2013)
Geoffrey Rush once again elegantly shines through here with the lead role of Virgil Oldman, a master auctioneer & an eccentric genius art-expert, known and appreciated by the world. Donald Sutherland plays his close & old friend Billy Whistler who helps him to acquire a secret private collection of master paintings. And then there is Robert, played by the young, talented Britt actor Jim Sturgess who is not only a great craftsman for any sort of "Clock Work" but also a love expert and becomes a close & friendly adviser for Oldman when this brilliant auctioneer & secret art collector becomes obsessed with an extremely reclusive young heiress, Claire Ibbetson who always refuses to be seen in person. And they all get tied up into this twisted tale of undeniable love & a web of mysteries & suspicion.
Comes from the maker of MALENA (2000), this 'GEOFFREY RUSH' film is so beautifully filmed that the little predictable twist at the end not even going to ruin your fun by any means. And for that the credit goes to the awesome cast who just made this film an utterly delightful watch from start to finish.
Highly recommended to V, NE, hammy & newb. You'll have a great time for sure.

Don't Blink (2014)
Oh man! and I thought this was going to be one of those films...where recently dead people take their time to realize what actually happened to them. But it wasn't that kind of movie but I like to tell you what was this all about...some guy gave a fascinating but incomplete idea to the writer/director Mr. Travis Oates and then vanishes without a trace!!
Anyway, just for the good production value, good cast and a seemingly 'interesting plot'...
