"Four Guns To The Border" (1954)
-Rory Calhoun

Plot:
Four Mexico bound bank robbers on the run stop and help an aging gunfighter and his beautiful daughter escape from the Apaches.

Phantom's Review: Entertaining little time waster. Nothing really new or original, but it's not a bad movie.
The best part of the film is that it's filled with a sea of familiar faces (Jay Silverheels, Walter Brennan etc)
Not a classic, but worth watching if Your a fan

The Baader Meinhof Complex (2008). American jingoes beware- this film might at first seem rather anti-American. Given that context, this German film wonderfully portrays the Red inspired terrorism of the late 60s and 70s. With hardly a chance to breathe, this flick lands in a sprint that leads us into a 249 minute politically inspired uber-marathon of terrorist action and reaction. The story itself seems a rather accurate portrayal of the leftist movement of the time. Covering a wide span of time, nary a moment is available to elucidate the philosophy that inspired such a movement. Instead, time is well spent chronicling the movement, leaving the viewer to educate himself if he so chooses. The acting was marvelous, somehow capturing the ugly realities and blind passion that encompass being a terrorist. The direction was spot on, and the camera work mused the feelings of our players without shoving their cause into our face. The production values are huge, bait for the average lackey to watch a flick motivated by a cultural movement instead of Bruce Willis.

Saw 3D (2010) - Liked the movie, but thought they should have called it something better;

a) SAW VII
or
b) SAW: The Final Chapter

or something.

Great storyline/plot, etc.

8/10

Saw 7 was the best movie and I watched it in few days back at the recom endation of my friend . I find this 7th jigsaw series as a best one as compared to paranormal activity 2 movie . You can even enjoy this movie with scariest factors .

The Illusionist (2006). Hinting of romance, The Illusionist is a flick that hints at frivolity only to sucker punch once our defenses are down. Smartly old-fashioned, with fun transitions and the like, the real treat in the film are in fact many. The story itself is a rich mystery whose denouement is worth of its titular commerce. A period piece to the last, its rich sets and medieval locales help to multiply the grandiose pleasure of the eyes. The acting was nothing short of stellar, where the magnificence of Norton and Giamatti is matched by Biel and Sewell. Directed with sublime aplomb, what could have accounted for a deplorable joke is instead a movie to be contended with. In all, even with its romantic undertones, The Illusionist is a flick that transcends the boundaries of the most discriminate of purveyors. Merci beaucoup.

Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl - Loads of fun.

The Reflecting Skin - Wow. Creepy, unsettling and depressing. Very original. Great little gem that could easily fit on the 'Other HDC Top 100' list.

Thunderball.

The word overrated was invented for this film. Not only a terrible Bond number, but a terrible film in general.
