Film / Documentary - Recently watched & worthy of some discussion

Rebel (Telugu Movie)
Staring Prabhas (Mr. Perfect, Chatrapahti), Tamana, other usual Telugu face.
Reminds you of 42nd Street Grindhouse movie showcase. The much talked about interval block fight scene brought tears to my eyes.
Everyone wears sunglasses anywhere they are, really : in dark lit clubs, in their salon, during night etc.
Just like in exploitation movies, Tamana is well exposed. Its looks like whenever she is on, the camera man left for tea angling the camera just below here chest.
Usually Prabhas movies have some good stunts, here its Villathi Villan Remastered.
You can be very glad that you have skipped this movie.
Ha ! Story : Don Dad killed, Don Son takes revenge, Tamanas Navel, European Girls jumping around, Shouting, shotguns doing sniper jobs ... more more more

Sattai
A preachy tale on how a school should be run. Not interesting, but quite well documentated. After watching it, I felt some episodes must be converted into short films and showed to students (+ teachers).
Thambi Ramaya was a let down, but Samudara Kani does a decent job. The girl acting in the school girl charater tops them all. Rest are some forgetable characters.

You wont regret watching it.

watched parts of Maalai Pozhuthin Mayakkathile

not usual fare and many will not bother to watch... need to watch whole movie

English Vinglish - snorkinglish

A really boring movie. Thought it would be a funny movie. The director could have got more out of this subject. The songs werent necessary either, it slows down movie even more. Comeback movie for Sridevi, and a 2 hours of sleep for me.

Joe Anne,

The movie is slow moving. But if you have the patience to sit through you will enjoy it. I did. :)

Kahaani!

Very Good!

Casting, Editing , Camera, BGM, Screenplay - top notching performance made watching gripping.

Wiki says "Budget 8 crores and Box Office 104 crores!" Very happy about this result!

Taken 2
A breezy thriller which moves quite in a way you want it too. No suprises at all.
Smart CIA dad takes his now grown up daughter + now depressed ex-wife to Isthanbul.
The Mafia Family - the suffering ones of those our Dad killed in Taken 1, plot to kidnap his family.
Dad to Daughter : Listen to me carefuly, me and your mom are kidnaped, they will come for you ... now you jump from the balcony and throw grenades all over the city so that I can tell you where I am.
Daughter Rescues Dad => Dad rescues Ex-Wife => All have milkshake

As usual comparison with part 1 : This film stands good, but the charm is missing. You seem to be laughing at what the dad and daughter do, rather than how you felt so gripped while watching part 1. But still there are some quite good oneliners that you may enjoy in this film too.

A clean film to watch during a rainy afternoon.

After experiencing NT's feast, Raj Kapoor feels like plain rice porridge with salt.
