I was wrong ,I thought I wouldn’t like this movie.Because I can not expect any human side of a movie in Roland Emmerich works,still the movie kept me thrilled for its visuals and graphics work.Its a wonder movie for the special effects and nothing was able to stop the imagination of Roland Emmerich.You have to be in the film to enjoy these moments in the screen ,I agree there is much in the film if you take out this.This goes discontinued but the graphics builds the movie for which it intends to. Roland Emmerich doesn’t waste our time much , he blows the whistle for global cataclysm from the beginning and we have the heroes John cusack, Amanda Peet,Danny Glover and much more who fight to survive and save the people.I don’t have any thing to say on the story line .The tag line says it all “ we were warned “.All we see how our world goes down and how some of the landmarks of the world gets destroyed .We experience the free fall of the buildings and the maps getting disorganised .End of t...

I was in sathyam for Inglorious Bastards and I was amazed to hear the shrill whistles when the name Quentin Tarantino appeared in the Title card.Its very difficult to be Quentin Tarantino because if any thing just resembles his style ,it can be easily branded as Copy cat from Tarantino.With Inglorious Basterds he just earns the uniqueness more with style and craft which he is made of.

Once when Farhan Akthar director of Dil Chahta Hai was interviewed on his passion on movies ,he said “one day I want to make a movie like Mean streets”.I didn ’t realise what could be this movie that day.Some day when you feel so dull or with your usual things ,you got to watch Scorsese.Scorsese is a specimen which can be never matched.Name any of his movies; every thing has its unique style ,though mostly it revolves around drug,Mafia or violence.The other day when Mathi and I were discussing on Scorsese Mrs. Mathi was furious to say Scorsese repeats his movie in different names. Mathi jumped to justify but I kept quiet,She should watch Mean streets for it uniqueness as a movie and style.

“He let things come to him, and then he made up his mind ... one of his characteristics was that he really enjoyed playing the devil's advocate. Conservatives were convinced that he was a ferocious Nazi, and ferocious Nazis were convinced he was an unreconstructed conservative.

Anywhere in my office if there is a discussion it’s about Slumdog Millionaire. Probably I was one of the very few persons who saw the movie very late.

To be very frank I was expecting the history of Australia in this movie.But I was in for a movie which was not a war movie,no completely romantic,no western,no emotional but a pieces of all crafted and detailed in a clear manner. .I had some feel of watching the movie “out of Africa” for no reason.I couldn’t get correctly why I correlated this movie may be because of the costumes and the faraway downs house which was looking very similar.
