Pannaiyaraum Padminiyum - Lovely film. Simple story. Not much change from the short film. The masses might feel it is slow paced. I enjoyed thoroughly.

VEERAM

- Ajith ..... awesome screen presence... white & white geththu look.. ippa irukkura actors'la he gives the best look on screen....
- film starts well.. makes me interested.. but 2nd half was a bit lengthy.. lot of telugu flavour & thambi ramaiah scenes... atleast a 20 mins of trimming would be nice
- right from naming the characters, director wants to do it little different.. but he could not control himself from "inspiring" scenes from other tamil films
- Ajith did not drive a bike (but his brothers do).. but he drives a bullock cart & jeep.. note it.. different
- dialogues are good, for both Ajith & Santhanam.. writer Barathan.. is he the director of Azhagiya Thamiz magan?
- tamanna looks good.. andha money purse vaayithaan
- appo ellam cinema poster'la enna irukkumna padathula varra scene'i poster'la poduvanga.. ippa ellam Ajith padathukkunnu oru template irukkudhu.. photo shoot enna panrangalo adhai oru scene aakiduranga.. 50% scenes + 50% photo shoot.. Ajith ninna slo-motion, nadandha slo-mo, ukkandha slo-mo, thirumbuna slo-mo.. podhum director+editor sir.. mudiyalai.. veeram padathukku nalla irukku (for most scenes).. aana Aarambam madhiri araaththu padathukku ellam ippadi vechu porumaiyai sodhikkuranga.. indha slo-mo konjam koraichale run time kammi pannidalam

The Hunger Games and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

What a thing of beauty! Satire at it's best. Mixing both the satire of reality TV and politics. Both movies were amazing at that. In the first movie I loved the satire but I felt the actual fighting parts were its weakness. It was kinda boring and with all those shaky cams I couldn't tell what was happening at all. I just wanted more of those satire and then I got it. The second one, man oh man was it amazing. More satire and just enough of battle, and no shaky cams! Thank god. They improved or removed most of the things I had problem with in the first movie. I was still more invested in the satires but the battles weren't as bad as the first one.

I'm glad this didn't follow the Twilight trend but still they could have avoided the love triangle.. Why can't they understand that not all love conflicts need a love triangle. I think it wasn't the director's choice rather the producers. They probably wanted to attract teen girls crowd. There was no chemistry between Gale (Liam Hemsworth) and Catnis (Jennifer Lawrence). Who picked Liam to be paired with Jenni anyway? He shows no emotion at all. She is giving him all these emotions and he is just blandly saying his lines.. The relationship with Catnis and Peeta were done right. Two completely different people put together for the show just like in reality TV.

That brings me to the main lead and what a lead she was. Jennifer Lawrence just kills it. What a performance by her. Probably my favorite role done by her. The character Catnis is a really hard to pull off. It looks simple on screen but that's because of Jennifer. The character is truly multidimensional. Jennifer needs to hate what she is doing for the company but also has to act according to them as a celebrity at the same time showing that she hates what she is doing. The best example is when when she is in front of the crowd addressing them and reading from the card. She is just amazing.

I can't wait for the third movie but I heard they are splitting the last book in two parts like in Twilight and Harry Potter..and we all know how that ended up.. At least the last Twilight movies were hilarious.
