Movie Review

Vijayakanth ’s 150th film ‘Arasangam’ Sometimes, you go to a movie with the lowest of expectations. Either the whole cast and crew is new or it’s an old and established one, with its own values, ethics, story and acting set in stone. And when it’s a star/politician with a lot at stake both in cinema [...]

When watching a horror movie, at what levels can you take it? What is your favorite way to be scared? At what point do you turn your head? At what point do you jump? At what point do you scream? At what point do you run and hide? On May 9th 2008 After Dark Films released Frontier(s) to a selective few theaters. On May 13th the unrated and uncut version will be available on DVD.

Bhootnath is kiddish rather than being a movie for kids. If you want to watch Big B making faces, rather than emoting, watch Bhootnath. Bhootnath disappoints grossly and add one more to the disappointing flops that Bollywood has generated this year. The story: It is about a child’s encounter with the friendly ghost of the house. As you know it, the Bhoot is only visible by the child and the ghost is always there to help the kid in every scene except for one. The kid (Banku) has a doting mom in the form of Juhi Chawla and a dad in the form of SRK(who seems to have given just three odd days to shoot the movie). Shahrukh Khan works in a cruise liner and mostly interacts with the kid by phone. One comes to know about the ghost’s sad story which coincides with Baghban released som

It’s pretty infamous for being just that. That, and violent. And having boobs. And it’s animated. But there is something remarkable about this movie as well that is worthy of praise and viewing.Now, my synopsis sounds confusing, but...well, that ‘s basically what happens in this movie.

It's amazing what you can build in a cave.Iron Man, directed by Jon Favreau. Screenplay by Mark Fergus, Hawk Ostby, Art Marcum, and Matt Holloway. Starring Robert Downey, Jr., Terrence Howard, and Jeff Bridges. Paramount (2008). Runtime 125 minutes. Rated PG-13. USCCB Rating is AIII--Adults.Read other reviews here.Considering that it's two movies crammed into one, the new Iron Man is surprisingly good, largely due to the star, Robert Downey, Jr., whose classy lines and flippant delivery keep the chuckles coming throughout what might otherwise have been a load of dull exposition. Because of Downey, competent directing, and a clever if not exactly streamlined script, this film is easily as good as Spider-Man 2, and even surpasses it in sophistication, if not in artistry. This may even be the

The movie starts off like a documentary on early oil drilling. No character development, no plot development, not even dialogue.The main character, Daniel Plain View, has few if any redeeming qualities. He seems to delight in taking petty revenge against anyone who crosses him including "his son".The religious character in all this, Eli Sunday, is made of the same phoney stuff. Eli manipulates people to sell religion. Daniel manipulates people to sell oil.The critics raved about this film on Rotten Tomatoes, but I found it hard to get entertained by some foul tempered lying devil who wants to share his personal hell with you. One Star.  

The Revolution finally got over to the movie theater and saw Iron Man. Needless to say, I absolutely loved the movie. Of course, I knew that I would like this movie. What has stunned me is the impressive opening that Iron Man had last weekend and the overwhelming number of positive reviews from all the movie critics.Iron Man hauled in a remarkable $104 million in its opening weekend. That is the second highest opening ever for a non-sequel and the tenth highest opening of all-time. Overseas, Iron Man pulled in $96.8 million giving Iron Man a grand total of $201 million in its opening weekend. The reported production costs for Iron Man have varied between $140 million and $180 million. So, it appears that Marvel will be netting a nice profit off of Iron Man.Marvel will certainly be happy wi

Iron Man has been released in India at the same time as the rest of the world. Great huh. Well, that’s what the Hollywood biggies do when it comes to action films…they expect them to do well in markets such as India. The movie has made an impact in just one weekend in theatres across U.S and Canada and there is no reason to think that the producers will be disappointed with India. The movie (directed by Jon Favreau) is a cinematic adaptation of Marvel Comic’s superhero and is just what we wanted to take us away from the now stale (and boring) masked heroes flying around. This one seems is for real. Iron Man’s super heroism is not in his genes like in the case of Superman or Spiderman. He builds it. Reminds one of another superhero - “The Mask” although the mask has magical powe

Before Saying anything about this movie,let me make it clear,it left a bitter taste in the end. Those who like Happy Endings in the moviesshouldn't watch it.Also the movie is quite Lenghthy.2 hours,05 Min,33Seconds Exact.So those who can't wait for more than one and half hourshouldn't watch this movie.and last but not least, movie is slow in pace.the movie gets bored after some time and has only few thrilling scenesthat can make you to jump from seats.except above peculiarities, you must watch movie for the the Actingdone by that Psychic women,she is powerful in her role.She in lastwere able to attract all the people trapped in a shop.As it seems from the name,movie is Related to "mist", andlikeall hollywood typical movies,it relates to some those Insects and forthat matter all those thing

Since the store reflects the energy of those who run it, Molly must work to lift her spirits and help the shop recapture its magic.The Good:- Natalie Portman is still cute as a button.- Jason Bateman, known as the Mutant, is likeable for some reason.- Some of the toys in the store look so retro you wish you could own some.- There’s this one monkey plush toy that’s always trying to touch Jason Bateman’s character, but can’t.

It’s a great disappointment for not just Vijay fans, but for audiences who expected a lot from Director Dharani. Director who earlier rocked with blockbuster flicks like Dhill, Dhool and Ghilli has completely presented us with a film that has nothing attractive. All throughout the film, you have the lots of absurdities that will get you annoyed. Well, we are sure even the surest fans of Vijay would been greatly discomfited.

For most of Iron Man's 126 minutes, I was confident that it would overtake Spiderman as the best film adaptation of a superhero comic book. I'm still undecided after a slight intensity and creativity dip towards its end, but I'm certain that anybody with the slightest interest in this genre will find Iron Man as thrilling as a ride underneath an F-22. Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is a hard-partying, frivolous genius- more Mark Cuban than Bill Gates- who applies his considerable smarts towards the world's second oldest profession- making weapons. Militants attack Stark's convoy during a business trip to Afghanistan and take him captive. Another prisoner, Dr. Yinsen (Shaun Toub), saves Stark's life by rigging a car battery to Stark's shrapnel-filled heart. Stark initially refuses to

“The Flyboys” Movie Reviewby Michael Aaron GallagherRating: 5 Stars (Out of 5 Stars)“The Flyboys” is one of those action-adventure movies that somehow makes you feel like a kid again. But you don’t have to be a 12 year-old boy to enjoy the original story, the intense action scenes, the witty dialogue, and the incredibly gripping cinematography.The best part is Writer/Director Rocco DeVilliers miraculously did on a small $2 Million Dollar budget, what so many big Hollywood movie studios fail to do with much more. He made a family film that takes you back to your childhood. “The Flyboys” reminds you of what it means to be a true friend, to do what’s right even when the odds are against you, and what it really means to be a hero.“The Flyboys” captivates and entertains audi

After hearing so many negative ratings on this film, I thought to myself can it really be that bad? After all its a Yash Raj film starring mega stars Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan and Anil Kapoor. Even if the story is weak, can’t these four join together and deliver perfomances that save [...]

Having never been a fan of the game franchise (I think they're rather stupid myself, but that's because I like FPS games instead), I have always loved the film adaptations. Why? Because I love zombie movies, even ones like 28 Days Later where the "zombies" aren't really zombies (and actually all those Romero incarnations aren't truly zombie movies either--look it up...try Haiti). Regardless of what you might think about the games, the first Resident Evil flick was darn good. It managed to terrify the crap out of us with those zombie dogs and the truly frightening zombified people. We were able to forgive the makers for the poor CGI too, since those weird mutation things were sort of bad, but didn't take up the screen much.Then came Resident Evil 2 and those of us who liked the first m

Well...what a waste of time. I liked the movie for it's overall tying up of loose ends (Jigsaw's beginning & what happened to Detective Matthews)...but I can't really say it's in the same caliber of the last three films. Also, nothing is ever brought to light on the first Saw movie's victim Dr. Lawrence Gordon's fate. They never say he died...but due to the actor suing the production company...maybe that's why they were hesitant to write his character back in. In true horror film tradition, the series will continue to be butchered, as checking IMDB has led me to find out that Saw V is currently being filmed.This film focuses primarily on Lt. Rigg and FBI agents Strahm and Perez. Rigg serves as a cop among a number of officers/detectives that fell victim to Jigsaw...and thus he becomes some

"Enchanted" is a mishmash of different Disney fairy tales from Cinderella to Snow White to Sleeping Beauty, etc. Changing the location of these fairy tales from cartoon fantasy land to New York City was an interesting idea at first, but the whole cold reality of planet Earth quickly changed into the exciting two dimensional world of witches, spells, dragons and princes.The conflict between the "real world" and the "fantasy world" never really happened which was a shame.Of course, the special effects and music numbers were great, especially, the musical number done in Central Park, but the story never went beyond its sources in Disneyland and childhood mythology. Fantasy in Cartoonland and fantasy in New York Land seemed to amount

If you want to see a good film this week at the dollar movies, go and see “Penelope.” It’s a great family movie, highly entertaining, and you’ll come out of the theater feeling much happier.Christina Ricci is absolutely gorgeous in the movie, which is all about a young heiress who is under a family curse. Her piggish features leave her isolated in her home, whilst her parents try to find a willing husband for her.Catherine O’Hara plays yet another quirky and obsessive mom, whilst current Scottish heartthrob James McAvoy plays a drifter who falls in love with Ricci’s Miss Piggy.Reese Witherspoon plays a comical role as a UPS dispatch rider and she has some of the best one-liners in the movie.The film has a talented cast and I would give it five stars for great family entertainme

U Me aur Hum was hugely publicized, but it had high hype too. So, let’s see what the hype was about. * Ajay devgan makes his directorial debut. * Kajol’s onscreen paring with husband Ajay Devgan after a very long time. They were last seen together in their home production Raju chacha. * Kajol appears on the big screen after almost three years. She was last seen in Fanaa.(I’m not counting the special appearances she did in Om Shanti Om and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna) You may ask, ‘with all the hype and publicity, does ‘U Me aur Hum’ live up to the expectations?’ The answer is ‘yes’.

This is a complete modernization of the Chipmunks in the 21st century. There really isn't much character development of David Seville, the creator of Alvin and The Chipmunks. In the movie, he's portrayed as a failed folk singer. In actual life, he was both an actor and a songwriter of funny songs. He real name was Ross Bagdasarian, but for recordings  he changed it "David Seville". Ross died in 1972, but his son, Ross Bagdasarian Jr. continued the recordings of the famous Chipmunks.The movie concentrated on the antics and the rise to fame of Alvin and his buddies. In some parts, it was quite funny, but the real story of the man who created them was never told. I guess that will be made into another movie someday. Two and half stars. More revi

First of all, I must remind you that if you hadn’t watched this movie yet, I suggest you to skip reading this blog entry altogether since this movie is very worth watching. I promise you, you won’t waste your money on watching this movie.I had known that this movie was adapted from a novel of the same title. Thank God I didn’t have enough spare time to read it, because I know that if I had, I would’ve been as enraptured as I had in watching Atonement yesterday.~~Spoiler starts here~~The storyline of this Atonement movie was indeed one of the most shocking I’ve ever encountered this far. And I choose to say it as “shocking” and not “thrilling” or “suspenseful” or even “tense” because those 3 last adjectives could be misused if they were used to describe this movie!

Youtube video. David Ayer wrote Street Kings and Training Day, both movies are about corrupt cops, and yes, both are destined to coexist within the shrink-wrapping of a Sam's Club two-pack; but although Keanu Reeves also has a hot Latina girlfriend, Denzel Washington is clearly taller.** As to their relative cinematic worth, Street Kings is a Geo Metro to TD's Toyota Corolla- essentially the same, but with cosmetic differences and less resale value. Street Kings versus... Training Day Training Day In Street Kings, Keanu Reeves is Detective Tom Ludlow, a loose-cannon cop who's more than willing to take a beating to bring down the bad guys. And bring them down he does. Like some feverish ACLU fantasy, Ludlow breaks into a room of child enslavers and immediately starts picking people

I'm not a fan of Fantastic Four and never was. I saw the first movie on TV many years after it had already gone through theaters and made its run on DVD. The first film was, in a lot of ways, a poor excuse for a superhero movie and when I found out they were making a second, and saw the pictures of the Silver Surfer, I was prepared for ultimate suckage.Having said that, I can now say I was at least partially proven wrong on this film. Fantastic Four 2 is loads better than the first film. Where the first film failed, this one got it right. There is actually a progressive plot. The characters actually go from not doing a whole lot, to doing a little bit, to a bit more, and finally to the climax. The first film failed entirely on this point with the confrontation with Dr. Doom happenin

Youtube movie trailer. Nim's Island is a soft-edged, FAO Schwarz-like couple of hours that kids will find fun, perhaps even adventurous, and parents won't mind. Nim (Abigail Breslin) is a twelve-year-old girl who lives on a secret (Apparently, Google Earth missed that spot. I actually overheard the coordinates Nim gives to Alexandra, but if I tell you, it wouldn't be secret, now, would it?) South Pacific island inhabited only by her father, Jack (Gerard Butler), and herself. The father spends his time studying sea protozoa while Nim plays with her animal friends and reads Alex Rover books. Alex Rover (Also, Gerard Butler) is a Scottish-burring(?) cowboy and archetypal American action hero: Rough and daring as opposed to a suave or brainy English Holmes or Bond. Alex-fount Alexandra R

It's been a long time since Disney really got something right. With Enchanted hitting a lot of the right buttons and the Pixar lineup hitting all of them, it's really a treat when Disney simply gives you something quaint and likable.Meet the Robinsons is about a lot of things, but namely about the nature of family. Lewis is a semi-brilliant inventor who was left by his mother at an orphanage. By semi-brilliant I mean that he invents really cool things, but they pretty much always fail and cause mild disaster. But Lewis has little hope that he'll ever be adopted. Then a brilliant idea comes to him: what if he can make a machine that will allow him to remember his mother, and ultimately can find her to have a family again? But when things go horribly wrong, Lewis finds himself dragged

Raja Sen from Rediff reviews U, Me Aur Hum and gives it a 3.5/5 rating! The movie does falter at times however overall impresses. Ajay Devgan does a good job as a first time director and Kajol as expected is a force to reckon with. Some excerpts from the review: Review: He tells a very powerful story, for example, without ever resorting to that most traditional and painful of Bollywood cop-out methods, the flash-cuts. It may sound simple, but this is a step to applaud. So used to are we to an audience (we assume) is inattentive that the unfolding of a twist -- or the fruition of a plot-point -- is automatically accompanied by a flurry of scenes we saw a half-hour ago and a repeat of dialogues.

Starring: Keanu Reeves, Woody Harrelson, Robert Downey, Jr., Wynona Ryder, Rory CochraneDirector: Richard LinklaterMPAA Rating: R, for drug and sexual content, language, and a brief violent imageRelease Date: July 28, 2006Synopsis: Sometime in the near future, Bob Arctor is an undercover police agent investigating the use of a drug called Substance D. He essenttially befriends the people he is trying to bust, but as a result of his own drug addiction, he begins to lose his own mind. My Two Cents: I like Shin's format for reviews so I'll use it here. So this movie is based on the book of the same name by reknowned and celebrated author Philip K. Dick. I have not read the book, but I gather the two formats are a lot alike. And that's part of the problem, really. I honestly had a very diffic

The Nazi reign in Central Europe left, besides it’s horrific legacy, a great deal of fascinating stories to be told. One of those, the recount of “Operation Bernhard”, is the theme of this year’s subtitled Oscar winner from Austrian director Stefan Ruzowitzky, The Counterfeiters. Not only of historical interest, but morally diverse and fairly [...]

People have been giving this one mixed reviews ever since it came out. I got a chance to see it when I was in England, since some movies don't play there until some months after they've finished their run here, and I have to say that I rather liked it.The story: David is sort of your semi-geek/outcast who discovers that he has the ability to transport himself instantly to anywhere he wants to go. His abilities are initially triggered by a traumatic event--nearly drowning--but he learns quickly that he is able to control his abilities and soon leaves behind his old life, while everyone else thinks he's dead, by stealing money from a bank and "living it large".But there are some people who think David and others like him are wicked creations that should be destroyed. Soon, David finds hi
