[...] Good Will Hunting – Avg Rating: 4.1/5 , First and foremost, Good Will Hunting is a film riding young, exuberant energies , There’s nothing original in this picture, yet it’s intensely likable just the same , You’d never guess this just-off-center movie was directed by indie hero Gus Van Sant , With its sweet soul and sharp mind, it’s one of the most heartening films of the year , This beautifully realized tale is always engaging and often quite touching , Intimate, heartfelt and wickedly funny, it’s a movie whose impact lingers , Thanks to solid performances by Damon, Williams, and Driver, the story glides by on charm , Fairly bursts with the exuberance and youthful energy that must have attended its creation , It’s the individual moments, not the payoff, that make it so effective , Stuffed–indeed, overstuffed–with heart, soul, audacity, and blarney [...]

Watch Crash. It’s mind-blowing. Others worth watching – Pulp Fiction, The Pelican Brief, Man on Fire, The Bone Collector (yes, I’m a big Denzel Washington fan), The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Apollo 13, The Hurricane, The Siege, The Omen (new version), Crimson Tide, Courage Under Fire…

Wait. You asked me for some movie recommendations and I gave you a list of (mostly) Denzel Washington movies. But hey, they’re good!

I saw the movie’s poster on your blog and the poster in someway said that the movie would be really good…
I downloaded and watched it yesterday..
And I HAVE to say…Thank you…I finally got to see a movie of SUCH class after an amazingly long time…(Last one was The Beautiful Mind, I think)…
Anyway its one of the best movies I have ever seen…
The best part about the movie – better than the acting – according to me was the background score. It LITERALLY said more than words..

Anyway can you please suggest more such movies..I’m craving for them..

[...] and it’s become kinda worse. Sorry for the “Fuck you” in the first paragraph of my Good Will Hunting review, dear readers. I was only kidding and I’m fucking cranky these [...]

Ha, I remember watching that particular Recess episode too :) Though never really realized the plot similarity.

Hey, when do you think you’ll be fit enough to venture out? Obviously not by Saturday, but still…

It’s NOT about how the characters have been written. It’s about how well they acted out their parts. The story itself was lame, but it’s the acting which outshines everything. I’m sure most of those dialogues weren’t written down and ad-libbed instead. There was so much…spontaneity in each scene!

arrey, i’m talking about how the character’s been written–i haven’t seen such a well rounded character in quite some time…yeah, damon should have won, williams really deserved the Oscar he won, and damn it man, Damon and Affleck really really did earn that Oscar!

That’s what I said! The acting in this movie is superb, but the story isn’t anything to write home about. ‘Best Original Screenplay’? Seriously, Oscar jury, you can take some strange decisions. The other nominations and wins are perfectly deserving. Matt Damon should have won too.
