NondhaaSaaaaamy - 10 WTF about this movie!

[Obviously, this post is going to be Not_Recommended_For_All. So, readers' discretion is required. Obviously, this post will have SPOILERS! If you are a Vikram fan, please don't read any further.]

  1. The intro of Vikram was awful. His dance (or fight?) in a cock's disguise was bull shit. Especially, his dance in telling his name. Why did they waste about 15 to 20 minutes for such an aweful intro? WTF??
  2. The Alegra dance - WTF. Shreya wanted her father to watch the dance and the costume was ****. I don't know what kind of father will enjoy watching his daughter dancing like that. Of course, it is possible for that kind of father who will make his daughter act like being raped by a serial rapist. WTF.
  3. Vikram always preferring to fight with his eyes closed. WTF. Why all the multi billionaire enemies employ assassins who don't even have guns?. WTF.
  4. The explanation they give for the cock fight. They are using tape recorders for audio and ropes for fight. Why don't they use CD player :)? WTF
  5. Shreya trying to simulate an attempted rape inside a CBI office. How and why should she be such a dumb ****. WTF
  6. Vikram's lady getup and the dance/fight for 15+ minutes. Aweful WTF.
  7. The fight with the Mexican gangsters in the middle of the field. OMG. Who would think like that? What kind of a bullshit-aweful-******-*******-*******-*******-******* fight is that? A bunch of professional assassins not able to hit a guy who is blind-folded. The biggest WTF.
  8. So many individual cases to establish what he does. I wanted to shout: "Okay... we get it. He answers the requests. What is next". WTF
  9. "You have to cut her off. She is risky" "Okay... I know how to end this" and then he goes to Shreya's house and there is this R rated song (meeyav meeyav pooo... ultimate bull shit). Oh... this is how you end everything? WTF.
  10. The camera was plain awful. Even if hero is not fighting, the camera is fighting and flashing. I got headache. I literally had to close my eyes for some fight sequences. The starting of the movie itself they were flashing a temple. Who in the fuck gave the idea, I don't know. It was awful. People may puke because of the camera effects. WhatTheFuck?
And this post... why should I write for this movie first? This is the first Tamil movie I am writing about. Why should this post be as junk as the movie? I don't know... If you have plenty of time, plenty of patience, and strong eyes, go watch the movie.

The good thing about the movie is, the concept is good (as long as you are not multi-millionaire :)) and Vikram looks handsome. If the movie is 1 hour 30-40 minutes, it would have been good, I think.

Small Time Crooks - Big Time Comedy!!!

It has been a long time since I have talked about any movies in this blog. I am sorry about that. It does not mean that I haven't seen any good movie in the meantime. As a matter of fact, I had watched a lot of good movies which deserve a post about them. But today, I saw a brilliant movie which has triggered by enthu very much to write a post. It is Small Time Crooks by Woody Allen.

Woody Allen is known for his one-liners. The entire movie is based on one-liners. You have to follow the dialogues to deeply enjoy the movie. The movie may look absolutely ridiculous to absolutely brilliant depends on how much you follow the dialogues or how much you love wit. Of course, this is the first Woody Allen's movie I had watched, but these are facts about Woody Allen.

This movie also follow the same principle. Don't take anything serious and just be ready to laugh and then watch this movie. This movie starts with a loser with less brain and his two more friends who are more stupid planning to rob a bank. What happens between a husband and his wife after they get enormously rich is the theme. They story is not so great, but the screenplay and dialogues were extremely hilarious.

Woody Allen's character with his innocent face and meager brain planning to do a master plan to rob a bank is hilarious. His wife Franchy (Tracey Ullman) making fun of his stupidity throughout the movie with witty and timely dialogues is awesome. What can I say more? Just watch the movie if you get a chance and have a big laughing time!

If you are already a Woody Allen's fan, feel free to suggest your most favourite movies in the comments section. Also, click here to see a sample of the dialogues in the movie. Have fun!

'Wall-E' Vs 'Bolt' Vs 'Kung-Fu Panda'

I love animated movies. Whether they are for action or comedy or sentiment, if it an animation movie, I would see it many times. Recently, I had seem three very beautiful animation movies. Yes, the three Oscar nominated movies: Wall-E, Bolt, and Kung-Fu Panda.

First let me start with Wall-E. This is yet another brilliant movie from Pixar Animation Studio. I have an equation that 'if it is a movie from Pixar, it would be brilliant and excellent'. Wall-E was no exception to this. The animation was excellent. The core of the movie is 'love at first sight' and 'go green'. The story is very much complicated and for about 30% movie, it would be disturbing to see huge mountains of rusty, dusty, waste materials.

But Wall-E has a lot of loopholes in the plot. Of course, animated movies can defy logic, but it offended my intellect to see an always-flying-robot with parts that are not screwed to each other, and a space craft travelling beyond galaxies in very very less time, etc. But the romantic part of the movie was awesome. The way Wall-E says "Eve" and the way Eve says "Wall-E", was so romantic. Also, this movie lagged to drive me into watching it many times. So, I would say, this is the least favourite among these most beautiful movies.

Next movie I want to discuss is *Bolt*. The story is less complicated than Wall-E with more comedy and strong sentiments. The first 15 minutes of the movie would be awesome, like watching Matrix as an animated movie. The Rhino character of the movie is the driving factor that could easily make you watch the move (at least some part of it) over and over again.

Though the climax was too good, it seemed as though it was deliberately injected, that Bolt uses all of his imaginary super powers to save the climax. Though it was too much predictable and somewhat sucks when you watch it for 3+ times, the sentiment and the music would keep you going. For me, Bolt worked out better than Wall-E for its comedy and sentimental aspect.

Finally, it is the 'Kung-Fu Panda'. The story is very straight forward and very simple. A big fat panda has to defeat one of the greatest kung-fu champion. How he learns and manages to defeat is the movie. Though the story is simple, the animation is AWESOME!. If you are even remotely a fan of action movies, this would easily be your most favourite movie. The action sequences when Tai Lang escapes from the prison, when Furious-Five fight Tai Lang, when Shifu fights Tai Lang, and the climax fight with Po, are are simply awesome. You could watch any number of times, the escape from the prison action sequence.

I love stunning action sequences and 'Kung-Fu Panda' gave the best. So, I would rate Kung-Fu Panda as my most favourite among these three movies. The only thing that annoyed me was how the hero realizes the meaning of the Dragon Scroll. His father's explanation was clumsy. The hero asks some question and his father suddenly answers something completely different answer and makes the hero realize things. The dialogues should have been more pleasing there, as it is one of the most important things in the movie.

All these three movies are sweet, brilliant and lovely. Watch them and let me know your order. My order is: Wall-E <= Bolt <= Kung-Fu Panda. What is yours? Click here to see my favourite dialog in Bolt.

Mission: Michelle Pfeiffer

It has been long since I have written about a movie. It does not mean that I haven't seen movies nor does it mean I haven't loved any movie in this time spam. In fact, I have seen some good number of movies. But this blog is not about any one of the movie I had seen. This is about my new mission which I have named: Mission - Michelle Pfeiffer.

It all started on One Fine Day. I am not only meaning that literally :). I have become a fan of one of the greatest actresses ever, IMHO, Michelle Pfeiffer. I am not sure how many of you even heard of her name or how many of you at least know that such an actress exist. But, she is great, beautiful, charming, fabulous, fantabulous, etc. and quite talented.

'One Fine Day' is the first Michelle Pfeiffer (and George Clooney) movie I saw. I liked it soooo much that I had seen several times and became fan of her (and George Clooney). Then because of my close friend's suggestion I saw *I am Sam*, one of the most sentimental movies. Surprisingly, MP was the leading actress in that movie. Then *I could never be your woman*. I liked all the movies and her acting in all these movies was excellent.

Then, I decided that I have to watch all her movies. I have to admit that, I like Reese Witherspoon, Keira Knightley, Meg Ryan, Marisa Tomie, Ratchel McAdams, Amy Adams, etc. But I didn't get the idea of covering all the movies of a particular actress. I don't know why I came up with a mission only for MP (MP is NOT a sex bomb:)... FYI for those who might have thought of this possibility).

I now have almost all of her movies except some 5 movies, which I am planning to buy as DVD. I am watching one by one of her movies. Till now I have covered in the order from 'I could never be your woman': The Fabulous Baker Boys, Into The Night, The Story of Us, The Deep End Of Ocean, Grease 2, Frankie and Johnny, White Oleander, and Dangerous Minds. Among these, I am Sam, The Fabulous Baker Boys, The Story of Us, The Deep End Of Ocean, White Oleander, and Dangerous Minds deserves a blog about them (and they are in the making :)).

Some interesting facts: MP always look ten years younger than her actual age. In *I Could Never Be Your Woman*, she acts as a 40 year old woman when she was in real 50 years old. In *I Could Never Be Your Woman*, *Into The Night*, and *Frankie and Johnny* she explicitly says 'I am not as young as I look'. In *One Fine Day*, and *White Oleander* other characters say 'She is the most beautiful woman'. In *Frankie and Johnny* and *Dangerous Minds* MP's character was beaten by her boy friend\husband when she was pregnant and had to abort the child.

That is all I will say now. I will update you guys once I finish all her movies. If you get a chance, watch the movies I have referred. Good Luck!

[PS: When I told about this mission to my father and my sister and to one of my friends, they said sarcastically "Wow... what a noble mission?" :). I believe that is what you guys also think :P.]

Win A Date With Tad Hamilton - A Winner?

If you have been following this blog, by this time you could have understood that I love Romantic-Comedy movies. Even an okay movie would seem very good for me if the genre is romantic-comedy. In that line, *Win a Date with Tad Hamilton* is the movie I had enjoyed recently.

Rosalee
(Kate Bosworth) is from a small town working in a super market. The branch manager, Pete is a good friend of Rosalee for about 22 years. He has been in love with her all the time. Though he deserves to work in a bigger branch, he does not leave only for her.

Rosalee is a great fan of a famous hero Tad Hamilton. She wins a lucky draw contest called *Win a Date With Tad Hamilton*. During the date, Tad falls heavily for Rosalee's beauty. After the date, Rosalee comes back to her town. Surprisingly, Tad also comes to the town to spend time with her.

Pete does his best to make her realize the nature of heroes in Hollywo
od. But Tad, with his natural charm, easily controls Rosalee. When Tad has to return to LA, he asks Rosalee also to go with him. Rosalee, with some hesitation accepts his invite. But one thing is sure... if she goes to LA, she is gone forever and Pete could never get her back.

What will happen to these three people is the climax. I have to admit that, it is not the greatest movie you are going to watch, but it would surely be a good, decent romantic comedy movie. Click here to watch the trailer and here to know my favourite dialogue (which made me write this post). Watch the movie and share your comments.

Red Eye - Red In Thrill

Racheal McAdams is one of my recent favourite heroines. This is the third movie of her, I really enjoyed watching, the first being *The Notebook* and another being *Mean Girls*. *The Notebook* being a top-class romantic drama and *Mean Girls* being a good teen movie, and this, *Red Eye* being a good thriller.

Lisa (Rachel McAdams) the manager of a star hotel 'Lux Atlantic' in
Miami when returning from Texas, meets a complete stranger Jack (Cillian Murphy) in the airport accidentally. They both get attracted to each other on their first sight. By chance, they are happened to travel in the same flight. They both flirt for some time and part.

Ironically, it so happens that Jack sits adjacent to Lisa. With good friendly talks and pranks the flight takes off. Since Lisa had already told him that she is afraid of flying, Jack asks questions about Lisa's family when the flight takes off. After they have reached the altitude and the turbulence stops, Lisa thanks Jack to have distracted her from the turbulence.

With the same lovely cute face, Jack tells that he was not distracting her, but keeping the focus on her and her father. Slightly confused and a little scared, she inquires why he would keep the focus on her father. His answer starts the actual movie and Lisa comes to knows that everything that happened till that time with that guy is not by chance... but there was something big happening.


What is that he expects out of her and how could she even escape from this mess is the rest of the movie. Most of the movie happens in the airplane. The movie has some big logical mistakes as all their conversations happen in the flight and no one even knows about it. People don't even turn back when he hits her. If you are ready for the thrill, you can forget about these plot holes and enjoy the ride.

I liked the movie as it had started with a romantic-comedy kind of things and moving in to a suspence thriller and ending with gripping chases and hide-and-seek-for-life things. It is a good thriller with not-so-much gore. If you like suspence-thriller movies, this is one movie you can definitely hang out with. Please click here (dont miss this one) to watch the trailer and here to see my comments. Watch the movie and share your comments.
