BACK TO THE OLD SCHOOL, WELCOME TO THE 80's

During a recent interview for a popular magazine, legendary famous action director, William Kootcheff known for directing Rambo series, recalls the action flick of the 80's. according to him directing 'Rambo' with Sylvester Stallone is one of the best decisions he has ever taken in his life.

The era of the 80's was known as the golden period of action cinema. the 80's were the times when new rules were written in the action gene of the cinema, the movies like Rambo, Rocky,Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, Code Of Silence and Indiana Jones to name a few were successful in changing the landscape of the film industry forever. There were more explosions, more abuses, more deadly and high tech wepons and to top them all brilliant stunt work. All of which was done with "a wink and nod to the audience" but all these are now things of past because i personally along with legends like William Kootcheff think that Hollywood now just doesn't make films like  that anymore. the films now have too much of glamour and too much of hi-tech equipment but no mind boggling stunts.

Actors like Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, Dolph Lundergren and Jackie Chan were the flag bearers of the action cinema. Stallone and Arnold also got their famous aliases of Rambo and Terminator respectively after the success of the Rambo and terminator series. All there action movies also had a huge impact on the world of wrestling. Wrestlers like Stone Cold and Bret Hart were also seen in the spin off of Stallone'd "Rambo" and Lundergren's "The punisher".

If we look at the current trend in the movies, although the technology is much more advanced than the 80's but still there is a dearth of quality action movies. According to Stallone, " Hollywood would really have to work hard to regain the lost momentum in the action genre ". The new breed of action stars like Jason Statham, Chris Evans, the wrestler turned actor Dwayne Johnson etc are very talented and also have proved there mettle. 

In 2010, Stallone frustrated by the action movies of today directed, "THE EXPANDABLES" to pay a tribute to the action films of the 80's. The movie turned out to be a blockbuster and hence was followed  by a sequel EXPENDABLES 2 which would be followed by, "EXPANDABLES 3. In EXPANDABLES 3 all the stunts are performed by Lundergren himself without any protection gear and when a journalist asked him why he did it? he said,"I am back in the old school and i don't want to miss it ". This very statement tells us why the movies of the 80's were legendary.

4 Directors Who’ve Never Made A Bad Movie

When ever we think of the word "Greatest film maker" odds are a few names names come to our mind without any hesitation.

Ethan Coen, David Fincher,Baz Lhurmann  and Steven Spielberg, amongst others. But aside from having directed several motion picture classics each amongst these guys also share the not-so-good characteristic of having also made some stinkers.

For the Coen brothers it is the ho-hum Tom Hanks comedy The Ladykillers. And now how about Fincher? Though it’s by no means awful, Alien3 is certainly a negative mark on his record. As for the legendary Spielberg, he has Hook, 1941, and The Lost World: Jurassic Park all tainting his legacy. Yes, even inarguable greatness doesn't mean the occasional slip-up is out of the question. But for those rare cases of spotless excellence, the respective filmmakers’ steadfastness is quite remarkable.

 in the history of cinema there have been some directors who never made a bad movie and here are according to us-

1)Quentin Tarantino

Winning streak: Reservoir Dogs (1992), Pulp Fiction (1994), Jackie Brown (1997), Kill Bill: Vol.1 (2003), Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004), Grindhouse: Death Proof (2007), Inglourious Basterds (2009),Django Unchained

From Reservoir Dogs' Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen) to Pulp Fiction's Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) and Inglourious Basterds' Col. Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz), Kill Bill's Beatrix Kiddo (Uma Thruman) and Django Unchained's Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio) , Tarantino's colorful, unpredictable, and combustible characters are scene-stealers which prove that not only he could write but also is phenomenal  behind the camera. Scenes like The Bride's black-and-white, one-against-88 throwdown at the end of Kill Bill: Vol. 1, or the four-POV, gruesome car crash in Grindhouse: Death Proof, are exactly why any new Quentin Tarantino's have both celebration and feverish anticipation. As his perfect track record indicates, he has yet to disappoint.

2) Martin Scorsese

Winning streak: Who’s That Knocking at My Door (1968), Boxcar Bertha (1972), Mean Streets (1973), Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (1974), Taxi Driver (1976), New York, New York (1977), Raging Bull (1980), The King of Comedy (1983), After Hours (1985), The Color of Money (1986), The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), Goodfellas (1990), Cape Fear (1991), The Age of Innocence (1993), Casino (1995), Kundun (1997), Bringing Out the Dead (1999), Gangs of New York (2002), The Aviator (2004), The Departed (2006), Shutter Island (2010), Hugo (2011)

Focusing on the man's potential missteps. Of course 2002's uneven, messy, yet powerfully staggering Gangs of New York looks inferior when placed alongside movies like Raging Bull and Taxi Driver, but on its own, free from any unfair comparisons, Gangs of New York is an exhibition of the attention to detail and stirring violence.

3)Christopher Nolan

Winning streak: Following (1998), Memento (2000), Insomnia (2002), Batman Begins (2005), The Prestige (2006), The Dark Knight (2008), Inception (2010), The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

Back when the England-born writer-director first took on the Caped Crusader brand with 2005's Batman Begins, he wasn't the most obvious choice; before then, Nolan's credits included a black-and-white noir flick (Following), a crime thriller told backwards (the spellbinding Memento).

Fortunately, though, the brass at Warner Bros. felt that the great films, like the ones Nolan had already made, met  all the criteria they required  And today, thanks to Christopher, his brother Jonathan Nolan, and their collaborator David Goyer, the Dark Knight trilogy has legitimized superhero movies for those uptight folks who'd typically frown upon Comic-Con products.

in midist of directing The Dark Knight saga. he also directed the incredibly brain-scrambling dueling magicians sleeper The Prestige and the James Bond by way of Sigmund Freud smash Inception, Nolan brings the same level of intelligence and showmanship to any and all of his projects.

4)Stanley Kubrick

Winning streak: Killer’s Kiss (1955), The Killing (1956), Paths of Glory (1957), Spartacus (1960), Lolita (1962), Dr. Strangelove (1964), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), A Clockwork Orange (1971), Barry Lyndon (1975), The Shining (1980), Full Metal Jacket (1987), Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

the best director and editor the industry has ever seen.

Kubrick, a New York City native, blessed the film world with inarguable all-time best movies in each of its biggest fanboy genres. For horror, he drained all optimism out of Stephen King's novel The Shining to concoct one of the creepiest, darkest explorations of supernatural insanity ever put to celluloid; sci-fi heads, for their part, have both the mind-numbingly hypnotic 2001: A Space Odyssey and the dystopian satire A Clockwork Orange by which to swear. Even dark comedy lovers were given a slice of cake by the courtesy of Kubrick, in the form of the sharp, scathing Cold War skewer-fest Dr. Strangelove.

A big reason why Kubrick's movies have maintained such high levels of aptitude is that he notoriously shunned the Hollywood system; it was either his way or, the highway.Kubrick made his pictures outside of the corporate system and with total creative control.
