The Dark Knight Rises
A perfect completion of the trilogy. Bane is not menacing as the Joker but I have no regrets. Needless to say Zimmer deserves major credit.
GF-கப்போலா, LOTR-ஜாக்சன் வரிசையில் நோலனும் வரலாற்றில் இடம்பெறுவாரா? Great.Quote:

Anyway one of those films which I have been meaning to watch with an open mind.

adhaavadhu, fantasies can be fun, can watch to silaakichufy how imaginative the films are etc., Pan's Labyrinth is among the few fantasy films I have seen. That was a good one.
I used to hate animation films too, but don't mind them at all now.

In the Stock market hijack sequence, when i was eagerly waiting for how Nolan made them to escape from the surrounded police force, SWAT team ect, the way he executed it remainded me chakri toleti. Batman vs Bane fight sequences, twist in the tale (which made the Bane role weak), bomb diffusion scene, again a twist after that (this time anybody can guess that), ellame highly unlikely Nolan. Except for happy ending, enakku disappointing thaan.Quote:

Hathway was good, and so was Bale. Tom Hardy was good in some scenes, but comparing him with Heath is what brings him and Rises movie down, perhaps I shouldnt have rewatched Dark Knight the day before ;)
Naan Eee - Brilliant :clap:
Rajamouli :clap: Sudeep :notworthy:
Passenger (Malayalam)

Jayapradha - what a divine beauty... IMO there is no heroine in Indian cinema could have done this role aptly... :bow:
Excellent Songs & Music.. Supeb Direction by Vishwanath!! :bow:
Once in a lifetime kind of movie this is for all the people involved..
Saw Kamal's Mumbai Express for the first time yesterday. Pasupathy, Nasser and even Vyapuri are great. Kamal is brilliant, except that the accent seems forced and misplaced. Manisha looks beautiful! Enjoyable movie, though it seems to drag a bit in the second half. Wondering how I missed it during its release.
May Madham on K TV
One doubt. Which year did GV die?
Around 2002 I think. Sokkathangam was his last production, right?Quote:

Continuing with films of Kamal that I missed seeing... Manmadhan Ambu - Excellent First half, drags big time in the second. Kamal comes up with a performance that is quite authentic, though he seems uncomfortable holding to a specific accent through the movie. It was great to see Trisha do her part without the overboard histrionics that seem quite common in some of her roles in Telugu cinema. Madhavan is a big bore with not so required screen presence. Some very sensitive scenes..where Kamal talks about missing his wife, for example. Some sequences seemed to have been included in a not so effective sequence. Wish his reminiscences with his wife came before the scenes where he talks about how he misses her. My opinion, of course.
Whenever I watched salangai oli previously, the climax scene in which KH acknowledges audience applause gave me some nerudal (very low though).
However, this time it didn't. Possibly because of a post in the SPB-IR page by V_Sji. Let me try to dwell on that aspect.
Unlike similar classics of its past (thillAnA mOganAmbAL, sankarAbharaNam) or the later ones (sindhu bhairavi, vAnaprastham), salangai oli's artist suffers from a unique situation all his life.
i.e. Unlike all those artists, he never gets to perform on ANY stage :shock: That's such a stark contrast!
He dances drunk in the newspaper office (pancha boothangaLum muka vadivAkum), as an assistant to a drunk movie guy during rehearsals for the hero (vAn pOlE vaNNam koNdu), dances in a temple (in front of Ganesh, after the film field experience), in the kalyANa maNdapa kitchen (bala kanaga), in a hillside jungle / in front of dying mum in her kudisai (nAdha vinOdhangaL), in the guest house near kiNaRu (thakida thadhimi) and finally in the hospital (vEdham).
Despite being an artist of great calibre & immense potential, never got name / fame / money. More importantly, never got to dance on a stage in front of a big audience! Very unique in a movie about a classical artist in the IF context, in my siRRaRivu :-)
And, he did miss out one of the top opportunities of being on the same stage with some of the top performers of the country! (Ofcourse he loses another equally important thing, the sweet beautiful life partner :oops: That way, thillAnA / sindhu / vAnaprastham guys are not that unfortunate :wink:)
That's why, sitting in a wheel-chair, on-stage in front of a crowd for the first time, he is overcome with emotions -"intha nilaiyil dhan nAn mEdai ERuvadhu sAththiyamO" -and doesn't mind acknowledging the applause (without any show of "sabhai vaNakkam / praNAmam" etc but encouraging the audience with upward palm movements).
K Viswanath, :thumbsup:
Dark Night Rises - Pretty bad. Intha padam ethukku eduthaanunga. The advantage with the previous version is the screenplay. Till the end you don't know who is the bad guy. Suspense nalla irunthathu.
I saw the movie in Bala GAnesh Sivakasi :P For the first 20 mins, no audio. Sema ragalai. AFter that, they screened the movies from the beginning again. padam pudikkatha audience.. theater karana sema kalai :lol:Quote:
batman 3 - dull, linear and funny movie inspired from tamil masalas. Hero worrying about his love> People want him back > Hero comes > gets his name. Ithukku melana captain films are better. Antha atom bomb climax :) ROTFL
BTB, Naan E doing well :thumbsup: in Sivakasi. :clap: Couldn't get tickets for both Billa & Naan E.
