The X Files (1998)



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 and Scully reach out to the maze to fight against the Virus and the aliens.

Whats so good about the movie is that though being a hit TV series the movie was able to give the pure ingredients needed for a complete movie .It takes more time to give up a clue of whats happening ,the movie clearly utilises the time to giving up a image about the cover-ups and hides by the high profile society and the agents about the mission.What so ends up is a usual stuff but we can not complete rule out the things which happen in the middle about the mission.


Mulder and Scully enjoy this movie after becoming a household name they hunt with caution and hiding their emotions for this cause. They already know too much,and their lives are in danger ,they don’t share light moments ,they don’t crack jokes always serious and they get in to the problem very easily and help each other in the firstpart of the series.

gLobal conspiracy with extraterrestrial beings for the domination of the human race to colonize the earth is all fascinating but there is a serious crunch of details in the later half after we had spent some most of the time to know what is being hidden.We have been given with a solid movie but its less overwhelming as we find hard to follow the link between the cave dwellers 20000 years ago and Kids playing during the present day and the link in the bomb blasts.We find it crawls some where during this link.We don’t understand who is the evil here,Government or the Aliens ?

But still it’s a must watch for the people who never had opportunity to watch the TV series X files.I Will follow with the Sequel X files – I want to believe.

Anantha Thandavam -The original Pirivom Sandhippom

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 ...

Mirugam (2007)

Mirugam was a much speculated and much criticised movie before its release for various reasons other than the main movie and I took the option to choose though I didn ’t have any interest to watch this particular movie .There are two things which should be mentioned about the movie first you can not avoid comparing this with Paruthiveeran and director Sami has tried to rework getting inspired by Cult classic Paruthiveeran .Secondly I can not understand will there be any human like Ayyanar in our day to day society.Why was this movie made?It self is a big confusion.Is it for awareness or for narrating a story of a beast?.If its awareness we should be very sorry for the director ,I think the world has moved a long way from 1987 to 2007 with regard to awareness of AIDS. Mirugam is a story about Ayyanar (New Comer Aadi )who lived notoriouslyas a protagonist during Late 80’s according to the film.He lives a life of a sandiyar who pounds his mother abuses every body and lives a life ...

Marudhamalai (2007)

Every time when I watch and enjoy a movie with usual formula of Romance ,Comedy,Macho Villain, ferocious Chases ,Challenges I always get reminded that I am a Tamil movie fan above any thing. Maruthamalai reminded me of the same.Its a same nonsense formula with Cop Hero challenging a Villain who rules a town unofficially not allowing the Government to conduct elections for Sixteen years.How illogical and attrocious! Movie stars Arjun , Vadivel , Lal , Nasaer , Nila but its undoubtedly Vadivel who steals the show.Like in Winner , Thalai Nagaram , Vadivel had given a splendid performance which made me spell bound with his body language and expressions.I could clearly say one more hit because of Vadivel ’s Comedy sequence.He is Ettu Egambaram A.K.A Encounter Egambaram (Like Vetayadu Velayadu DCP Raghavan ) in Marudhamalai and the screen explodes from the moment he appears.From the fifth minute to nearly on hour it’s a complete comedy feast for viewers. Arjun and Vadivel com...
