Hindi Cinema is now better than Tamil Cinema !!?

Discussing about Cinema is something which every body likes ! My friends used to discuss hours and hours about the new movies and past movies .Our discussion used to dwell on many avenues from Direction,performance and script and so on.Every body nowadays agree that Tamil Cinema is in a huge dearth of stories and good direction.Bollywood has picked up the slot of making highly impressive movies . Nearly two to three movies releases in Bollywood every week and every fortnight there is a very good movie which is releasing.At any given day I love Tamil movie comparing to Bollywood.I can very well understand Hindi Language but its Tamil cinema which had always fascinated me from my childhood ,college and now.But I see this pathetic phase of Tamil cinema getting so thick and in the near future I don’t see a very good revival .But why there is a sudden change in the Hindi Movie ? There was Chak De India,Tare Zameen Par,Johnny Gaddar,Aamir,Rock On,Bheja fry,Jab we met,Rock on ,Wednesday can y...

The X Files (1998)

Image
I remember watching X files when it came in Star Plus( It was actually in FOX channel where X Files started its series ) during the 90’s but I didn ’t follow it as I wasn ’t able to understand during that age.I wanted to watch X files when its sequel got released recently. This movie released in 1998 was expected much because of the hugely successful TV series X files .I am not a Sci Fi movies fan though I liked this concept of X Files. X Files starts with a Bomb threat and when FBI Special Agents Mulder (David Duschovny ) and Scully (Gillian Andesron ),draw up their attention towards it ,they smell some thing seriously going on hidden from real world . A team is trying to cover up a virus so brutal, so fast and so unassailable that nothing can stop it extinguishing the human race. Mulder reaches the alien sources , and Scully with her medical expertise determines that effects of the Virus.Mulder’s Father’s friend gives some important information about the team which hides .Mulder a...

No Harris and Gautham menon Again?

Nobody can deny they are the best pair after Ilayaraja and Manirathinam ,Bharathiraja and Ilayaraja in Modern day cinema .But now Harris Jeyaraj had sent a official note that they are having a split in a decent way.Last week I met Harris Jeyaraj in Barista with his wife so relaxed after his Varanam Ayiram release.I wasnt aware of the news when it came to me as a shock. It takes years to create a team in Cinema ,People say when entering in to the field for a director it is not the plot or your story which is necessary but its the team of good technicians which is needed to make the mark.We had seen it with many many examples.This was a good team and I was sorry to hear that they dont see each other nowadays face to face.Minnale,Kakha Kakha,VV,Pachaikili Muthucharam,Varanam Ayiram and it ends there.What a loss ? Probable loss will be for Thamarai the poet who wrote magical words for both Gautham and Harris.

Varanam Ayiram (2008)

Image
Varanam Ayiram is straight from heart and not from mind .When you have something to say from your heart you are least bothered about the intelligence and you have to abide by your heart.Some how this high expectation on this movie would let down the movie from being a usual Gautham Menon movie.But truly I respect the intentions of the director to bring out a movie which wants to pay the tribute to his passed “ Daddy “ . But some where the intention of the movie is getting lost . This is the journey of a man Surya from his childhood boy to a ambitious young man through many phases who was guided by his father Krishnan .The young boy Surya takes inspiration from his Dad and he faces ups and downs in life .He is guided by his dad in all his phases and His Dad remains as his one source of motivation through out.He looses his love Meghala and puts a halt for his life with drugs. He gets rehabilitated and turns a inspiring Military officer and meets Priya . The movie carries a grim mo...

Boy A (2007)

Image
Saturday afternoon DVD is always fun ,even ordinary movies might excite you .With some good movies your weekend is assured with joy.Movie freaks would agree with me totally.Boy A is one such good movie which made my weekend . Boy A speaks about the violent and troubled Pre adolescent kid with the company of a wrong kid Philip.Both murder a young girl and they are put in for rehabilation.Philip dies in Jail and Eric is released at the age of 24 .Terry who Eric’s dad gives Eric a new identity to hide his past as Jack Burridge.To forget about the past and to lead a new life Jack leads the life as a driver when some unpleasant events makes him take a decision which Terry and Jack were trying to conceal. The story puts up a very strong question of why the boys were troubled kids and their consequences of their action .It also asks very clearly about their second chance to lead a normal life and not to stereo type them on their past.It digs in to the life in the past and present and ends in ...

Quantum of Solace (2008)

Image
Daniel Craig’s second edition as Bond has lots of difference from the tradition way of looking at Bond.This is the first Bond movie to be made as a sequel and this is one movie with out any high level promotions made for any brands which is always omnipresent in Bond movies.Traditionally Bond is a high speed emotion less secret agent we knew but here Daniel Craig puts this quantum of Solace for his murdered lady in Casino Royale Bond seeks revenge for the death of Vesper Lynd and is assisted by Camille Montes (Olga Kurylenko ) .Bond continues to the last scene of Casino Royale by bringing Mr.White to Siena and due to things get in to mess during interrogation due to M’s Body Guard Mitchell.He reaches Dominic Greene ( Mathieu Amalric ), a member of a environmental organisation who wants to take the control of water supply in Bolivia .Bond fights for revenge of Vesper and also against Greene.Bond finishes his mission by killing Vesper’s ExBoyfriend Yusuf and being aware that White...

Varanam Ayiram Trailer

The new trailer of Varanam Ayiram is good and its done with style.As usual Gautham Menon has added some of his phrased dialogues both in English and Tamil.The movie is now sure about the relation ship between a father and son.One more information he has shot some part of this movie in Mookambigai College of Engineering where he graduated.Thanks to my bro Sivaram for this trailer. http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=yrMm19xCq3Q

Chapter 27 (2008)

Image
I am not a fan of Beatles or I haven’t heard their songs much ,only a slightest knowledge about their songs are with me .But when I wrote some thing about the song God and Yoko which was sung by John Lennon I was reading quiet a bit about their band .Previously I was aware that it was for John Lennon’s funeral that most number of people gathered.But I wasn ’t aware of his death and how abouts.When I was going through the details about the band previously I could learn how people were mesmerised with not only on Beatles songs but also on their life style. Chapter 27 is all about the assassin of John Lenon the legendary Lead of Beatles which happened in 1980 by Mark David Chapman.It travels in to the mind of Mark David Chapman.The last three days of the Mission of the killer. Jared Leto gained 67 pounds to play Chapman and he looked very similar like Chapman.Chapman waits for Lennon for three days and when he meets he gets a autograph in Lenon ’s latest album Double fantasy after which...

Image
Madhur Bhandarkar wants to show his identity again as a reality film maker .This time he digs and pokes inside the Glamourous fashion industry.Its really interesting to know his space he chooses for each movie from Page 3 to fashion he has put some efforts as a film maker to bring it in celluloid.Fashion is more on the emotional side than the theme. Fashion is about rise and fall of Super Model Meghna Mathur who gets ruined by the towerleads of Fashion industry .Meghna leaves Chandigarh to become a model.Every things happens at a rapid pace for her and she carries herself so well with a level of intelligence.Sharin(Arbaz Khan ) who is the sponsor and brand owner of Panache Fashion house lifts Meghna to a position which she was dreaming.Arrogance and attitude gets over her due to the height she had attained.One point she is thrown out of the shows and she turns out to be a real bitch at a party.She thinks back and returns to Chandigarh.After a year the same struggling Meghna returns and...
