No big names of directors in the years list except Bala's Naan Kadavul.Year belongs to fresh talent Arivazhagan of Eeram,Samuthrakani with Nadodigal and Vikram of Yavarum nalam impressed with their fresh plot and screenplay.

3 Idiots ***1/2

Image
Amir Khan has done this before ,but this time in the direction of Rajkumar Hirani I expected some thing different but I feel over the time he is been trusted with too much of intelligence ,he just plays to prove the character of Brand the intelligent ,witty,take easy ,winner Amir Khan.At some point there should be differentiton ,I felt enough of the brand Amir Khan .”Five point some one” would be the most read book in India and the film marketed that way at the beginning but plays a very different plot much more complicated in some places but ends with light mood which is actually enjoyable. Three idiots is about the subjective take on educational system and pressure exerted on the students at the prime engineering colleges and by the parents .Its about the following and living your dreams.Movie knows what to take from the novel 5 Point some one ;it draws only 5 percent from the book and follows a very comical plot with Amir Khan as the show stealer from the beginning.Its once more for...

Avatar (2009) ****

Image
Now every body got their answer to their Question why James Cameroon didn ’t make even a single movie after a sensational Titanic.After 12 years James Cameroon comes with Avatar which breaks through boundaries of film making technology. New experiences make new practices,and new practices make new culture.This is one such.There was a period when a generation grew watching Star wars,then it was Jurassic Park and then came Matrix and now its for next generation.Avatar.Avatar can not be just branded as a movie it just redefines the art of story telling to presentation.With Avatar James Cameroon delivers the richest and new to earth experience a viewer can ask for ! Pandora far away from Earth , human “Sky men’ and the animated humanoid inhabitants of Pandora, the Na'vi , engage in a war over the planet's resources . Jake a paralysed Ex US Marine operative enters in to the Pandora world through the Avatar program designed in space.Jake meets Neytiri ( Zoe Saldaña ) a N...

Rocket Singh Salesman of the Year ***1/2

Image
I always wanted to have a carrer in sales.When I first joined sales I never thought I would get in to a new life style of Sales jargoans.When you are new to the field ,the first day would be the most exciting and horrifying day in a sales career.No sales person is the same ,they are unique and every sales person teach you a different ways to sell yourself and your product.In typical direct sales most of the time your product doesn’t sell but you who gets sold.Thats when customers become loyal.Jaideep Sahni and Shimit Amin takes the clue from this one line to make a movie with the extremely talented Ranbir Kapoor.They succeed too with their not so fancy ,simple story. Harpreet singh is the Rocket singh sales man of the year.A average mark guy who gets in to computer sales ,not with standing the illegal ,unofficial trades of SALES PITCH ,gets kicked by his boss and fellow collegues.Harpreet never wanted to go in the wrong way works on a decision to sell computer on his own ta...

Best posters according to Roger ebert

Great movie posters of the decade ¶ I was inspired to gather these after looking over Adrian Curry's selection of the best movie posters of the decade at the auteurs.com. His #1 choice is shown above. I tweeted that Curry's list was "bleh," but that was in the haste of the twitment. Actually, they're fine. It's just that they inflamed me to go looking for favorites of my own. If you have better ones, link to them in the Comments. ¶ If there is a poster I complete agree with Adrian Curry about, it's the one below. In my haste and carelessness, and because it was shown last, I foolishly said it was his "best" in my earlier Tweet of this page. Curry made no such mistake. Visit this page at the auteurs.com to read what he actually wrote about it. The poster is bewilderingly inappropriate.

AP critics Germain, Lemire pick decade's top films

Tweeted by Roger ebert By DAVID GERMAIN and CHRISTY LEMIRE (AP) – Years pass and tastes change, at least a little. In choosing their top films of the past decade, Associated Press movie critics David Germain and Christy Lemire stuck closely to their favorites from each year. But here and there, a film that came in a bit lower on their list at the time has crept up in their esteem to make their cut for best of the decade. Here are their picks, along with the ranking each film had on their annual top-10 lists from years past. The top 10 films of the decade, according to AP Movie Writer David Germain: 1. "Pan's Labyrinth" (No. 1 for 2006) — Writer-director Guillermo del Toro presents a wondrous hybrid of stark historical drama and wildly inventive fantasy in this saga of a girl (Ivana Baquero) whose encounter with an ancient forest spirit offers escape from her bleak life in 1944 Fascist Spain. The chilling images are as fanciful as anything Terry Gilliam's ever dreamed ...

Paa (2009) ***1/2

Image
Some times after you have achieved a lot in your career ,you give options for others to experiment in you! Its like grandfather lending his time and patience for his grandchildren.Amitabh has nothing to prove for himself .But if he has to take one movie in which you wouldn’t see BIG-B as Amitabh is Paa.Because Paa is a director’s movie and Paa goes as the finest experimentation done by Balki with Amitabh which succeeds as a gentle breeze.This movie brings the 60+ actor in a completely surprising performance ! Paa ( Which should have been named Maa) tells the story of 12 year old kid Auro who is affected by Progeria who was born due to a love tale between Vidhya and Amol Arte .Vidhya goes away from Amol for his selfish stance about having child.Thirteen years later Amol a MP , meets his son in a school function . Its not difficult to enter in to the world of 12 yr old Auro who is affected by Progeria .He is sharp,witty,emotional,funny,naughty and serious too.He has question ...
