A roller coaster of emotions, this film. The movie wont be liked by all for sure. This movie is a personal tribute from Gautham to his late dad. A nice gesture, sure, but he should have presented the film in a better manner. The movie deals with a father – son relationship, and the ups [...]

Bourne, James Bourne. I guess this is how 007 will announce himself in all his forthcoming movies. Move over Suaveness and Sophistication. Being Grim and Gritty is the in thing. QoS continues from where Casino Royale left off. James Bond is on a revenge spree and what we get are some superb action set pieces, [...]
Life Of Brian

Satire and comedy are not easy genres. Not many movies/ actors are successful in making people laugh and the recent spate of movies in Tamil and Hindi just prove that. Monty Pythons’ feature film “Life of Brian” is a sheer delight for all comedy fans and one of my all time fav movies. Though the film [...]
Movies Not So Normal – 2

David Lynch is known for his bizarre, surreal movies and the reception that his movies have got are always at the extreme end. His movies are either loved or hated very much. His Mulholland Drive, though has been very favorably received by the movie critics and fans. I saw it sometime back and my [...]
Rock On

Watched Rock On yesterday and found it to be a one time watch. I cant understand the frenzy the movie is causing but I would definitely recommend it.
Highs:
The songs, esp Tum Ho toh and Na na na….. I liked the way, Farhan Akthar sang the songs. The way they were taken was also nice.
Some scenes [...]

One of my roomies once remarked about a movie called “Kaakka Kaakka, The Police”. He said it was a good movie, but the violence was a bit too much. I told him that the violence in that movie was nothing when compared to some movies I have seen. In “Movies not so normal”, you [...]
The Dark Knight
Posted in Movies, tagged Best Movie of the year so far, Pattaasu padam, The Dark Knight on July 21, 2008 | 8 Comments »
In many ways, The Dark Knight can be separated from its super hero stuff and made to stand alone as a well made action/ gangster movie, and that in itself a great accomplishment. In this explosive sequel to the Batman Begins, which released around 3 years back, Christian Bale returns as the Batman/ Bruce [...]
Kuruvi
Posted in Movies, Random, WTF on May 14, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Story, Screenplay and Direction: Some Naidus and Rayudus or some assistant of Perarasu
Music: Some Assistant director (Guess Vidyasagar had gone out for tea)
Lyrics: T Rajendar and Perarasu. How else can you explain the horrendous lyrics like “Mozhu mozhunnu emma emma”?
Kuruvi will be ranked among one of the worst Vijay movies, me thinks. An initial [...]
Tamil New Year Releases

The Good:
I generally watch Telugu remakes with some trepidation. Vijayashanthi movies and movies like Jayam are the reasons for my fear. But “Santhosh Subramanian” is an exception. A remake of “Bommarillu” , it is a super movie. Essentially a movie looking at a Father – Son relationship, it has the right mix of comedy, romance [...]
