Edward Scissorhands (1990)


































  Edward lives in the outskirts of a small American town. up high in a tower. His unique figure doe snot allow him to go out and meet the world ; instead of hands, Edward has scissors. A stroke of luck brings Edward being accepted by a family and venturing his way through modern society...
  Tim Burton uses his secret recipe and brings forth a lovely pre-Christmasy movie. Although, Burton could stay on the beaten track and just make another great weird movie like he always does, he strayed off a bit and delved deeper into social and psychological issues. Scissorhands is a fine depiction of the person in all of us who fights to get accepted in society but most of the times the society is not even ready for this little guy. All in all, a great movie about love, acceptance and being unique!
  There must be something about Depp and his pick of roles. I mean, you can check every one of his films and you will not find a single role as a normal character. He always goes the extreme way and probably that's we like him. Winona Ryder is exquisite as Depp's forbidden love and we would really love to see that happen. And of course, like in any other love story, there is a douchebag he just won't get out of the way, in this case it's Anthony Michael Hall who plays so could that you can hate him!
Must watch this :  on a cold December night, when your fever is running high and you are trying to lose the shakes by wrapping yourself in blankets. Enjoy with a cup of hot chocolate and after the film, weep for your lost loves, if any!

Goodfellas (1990)


































  Henry Hill, James Conway and Tommy De Vito start from the bottom of the Mafia ladder as teenagers and work their way up through numerous violent deeds and criminal acts. Their 30-year service in the Mafia is violently put to a stop when they start dreaming too big...
  Martin Scorcese's thing for Mafia films is more than evident and we certainly can't argue with his addiction. Being a biography, this film focuses on the personalities of the heroes and how they evolve through time and hardships rather than staying on the criminal deeds. Glamor and luxury seem to come and go with money and power but this film reminds that way down the road it's all for nothing! A classic Scorcese!
  Ray Liotta steals the show here, even though the rest of the cast is equally talented. His character's way up the Mafia hierarchy and then his way down is vividly portrayed in his expressive face and eyes. Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci are his best friends from the start and just when everything seemed to be getting great, the toll of greed for money and power evens things up...
Must watch this :  on a rainy November afternoon. After the film, make yourself a cup of coffee and sit yourself down and consider why on earth are you still doing what they tell you!

Frankenhooker (1990)


































  A medical school dropout loses his fiancée in a tragic (but funny) lawnmower accident. Devastated by his loss, he decides to bring her back. Unfortunately, all he has is her head, so in order to bring her back to life he lures and kills prostitutes and takes the parts he needs for his beloved wife-would-have-been.
  Fucked-up gore comedy in the vein of 80s classics. Frank Henenlotter is a known psycho director of this genre so he does not fail to bring forth what we expect from him. Body parts flying in the air, black humor, impossible science and a bunch of obscure characters make this funny fling happen! If you are too easily offended by stupidity and cheap effects, don't watch but otherwise dig in.
  James Lorinz gives the performance of his life here as a lunatic scientist obsessed with bringing back his dead love. A true Frankenstein of his era (not), he is a Dr. Emmett Brown but one of obscure and twisted experiments. Joanne Ritchie & Patty Mullen fill in the various gaps in the film with their figures but not with their acting skills and give it the cheesy atmosphere it is supposed to have!
Must watch this : alone because your friends may make fun of you for the films you are watching. So, screw them, make yourself a light cocktail and watch this on a random night!
