Rambo (2008)

Image
So presently John Rambo is living in Thailand/Burma ,remembering my childhood experience I can say he is Back .He is roaming in the dense woods of Burma ,where the civil war is burning and smashing the lives in to pieces for a reason I was not able to understand.What can be the mission for Rambo for a man who opted to be away from chases and blood spills.Michael (Paul Scheulze )and Sarah (Julie Benz)Christian mission requests him to accompany them to direct the way to a tribal village for medical aiding.Rambo hesitates and accepts as usual this time he saves the team with his bow ,arrow and knife .Still the same ,what can I say some moments remembered my days of childhood. Some characters are legendary and viewers blindly believe they live for ever,Rambo&Rocky also belong to the same league of immortal characters.When I told that I am going to watch Rambo my friend said “He is Hollywoods Rajini Kanth “ .That gives the answer don’t expect too much enjoy what he is doing.Rambo as a c...

Anantha Thandavam -The original Pirivom Sandhippom

Image
Below is the write up about a movie which I expect so much for this year.The story has been my personal favorite and is based on one of the best Tamil novel which I have read so far.I happened to read the novel Pirivom Santhippom during my college days ,which made me to think aloud about love.Written by Sujatha the story was initially published in Anantha Vikatan in early 80’s.The story of Pirivom Santhippom is of two series first in Tirunelveli second part in America.After eight years I am able to recall each and every characters of the work.This has nothing to do with my memory but with the beauty of the book.The main characters are “Ragupathi and Madumitha “.After reading the book I felt there can not be a sweeter name than Madumitha .Even the name of the particular character while reading the novel will make you feel for Ragupathy. Ragupathy meets his Ex lover in USA during his stay for his higher studies.Ragupathy avoids her but Madumitha married to a NRI Radhakrishnan @Rad moves ...

The Matador (2005)

Image
I have always enjoyed Pierce Brosnan when he is not playing “The Bond “(Though I have not closely followed Remington Steel ).I always feel the brand Bond over takes the man himself.Thats true for any actor who has played it .Pierce Brosnan to my point is one of the best actor who can perform casually not shaking so much with the plot.His performance has always been with ease and I enjoyed this in Matador also . Matador has nothing great to entertain ,but it’s a movie which is worth watching .Movie speaks about friendship between two persons coming from different parts .Julian Noble(Pierce Brosnan) a international hitman meets Danny Wright(Greg Kinnear) in Mexico .Julian compels Danny for friendship as he expresses he doesn’t have a friend or a house.After some moments in Mexico friends go back to their world.After months Julian meets Danny and his wife at Denver in Danny’s house.He reaches out to Danny to accomplish a mission with Danny . This movie gives a very calm feel of the charac...

Bheema (2008)

Image
Its been 2.5 yrs Vikram appeared in Silver screen the last time was Majaa .I didn’t have to say there was a expectation for Bheema ,But some times movies show why time factor is so important for any creation.2 Yrs in making ,expectations evaporating from Fans and when the movie arrived for the big gala its all too late.Firstly the viewers are tired of Gangster movies .Too many movies even at the same release had already competed for the same concept. Bheema is an action packed gangster movie starring Vikram as Sekhar ,Prakashraj as Chinna .There is also Trisha ,Raguvaran ,Ashish Vidyarthi.Sekhar a hitman of Chinna’s group has to decide between to stay with his Child hood hero Chinna or his love Trisha.when he makes a decision ,the trio is targeted from their opponents Raguvaran Gang and Cops.Whats can you expect great in this movie ?Bheema is the mission named by the Commissioner Ashish Vidyarthi to clean the Gangsters in city. First and foremost thing which I had noticed in this movie...

Pirivom Santhipom (2008)

Image
Truly speaking I chose this movie for the title ,I had no oppurtunity for watching it in my native place as my schedules were very tight .Pirivom Sandiphom is the title inspired from Writer Sujatha’s famous Love story .But this Pirivom sandiphom is different in story and the plot.Karu Palaniappan impressed every body with Parthiban Kanavu and his second film Sathurangam never released and third film Sivapathigaram was a poor show from him.This time he comes up very in a special way to show “See I ve got some thing different “. Pirivom Sandippom starring Cheran as Natesan and Sneha as Visalatchi as lead roles .I am sure I can not name the other starcasts in brief also ,as this movie casts some thing like a Sooraj Barjatiya movie .It has a very big crowd but the point here is ,it deals with loneliness of a young woman missing her nativity and relations . The only daughter of her parentsVisalatchi(Sneha) marries into a joint family of Natesan(Cheran ). When she moves out along with her hu...

Knife in the water (Polish) -(1962)

Image
This is an oppurtunity to see how a great director started off his career in films.Knife in the water is Roman Polanski’s first film and it is one of the critically acclaimed movie in world cinema for its intense screenplay.When I started watching this movie my dad was mentioning it very easily about Roman Polanski’s works. Knife in the water is woven around only three characters.nobody other than the three even appear in the movie and it is been constructed in a wave of silence and immaculate visuals.A wealthy couple Andrej and Krystina ( Leon Niemczyk &Jolanta Umecka) gives a lift in their Yacht to a Young hiker after they almost hit him on the road by oversight. The movie travels along with the yacht as it becomes the fourth character knowingly or unknowingly for the viewers.The cynical man shows his superior attitude and treats the young guy with slavery ,which gives the hint where the movie is directed.But when the lady roams around with the bikini all long and with the young ...
