Mommy, what happens when we die?

HEREAFTER (2010)

The film opens with a scene, which captures the devastation of the 2004 Tsunami. It's a spine chilling sequence. Especially now with the same happening in Japan, the timing of this film’s release in India couldn’t be more coincidental. A filmmaker like Roland Emmerich (2012, The Day After Tomorrow, Independence Day) could have made an action flick, a story about massive destruction or the apocalypse (pick one) and the viewer being glued to the screen watching one tsunami take down a city, then a hurricane taking down another one, people trying to survive and yes, surviving! I admit that is also fun sometimes. In a strangely perverse way, maybe.

 

Clint Eastwood, on the other hand, is not bothered by that. 

My favorite films of 2010 (Part Three)

Four more categories left and I round up last year's lists. Foreign, Animated, Documentaries and Worst of the Year.

FAVORITE FOREIGN FILM OF THE YEAR

BIUTIFUL

Oscars: I whine, I bitch, I celebrate.

I scored 15/21 on my predictions. 19/21 if you count my alternate winners (which is not bad at all, eh?)

Anyway, going back to the real stuff.

The Good Stuff: 

- Inception won 4. Social Network won 3.

A totally well deserved list of awards these 7. Although I would've given the award for Best Original Score to Inception. Hans Zimmer's score is EPIC. The Social Network has also been on my playlist as much as Inception so I can't really complain.
