Banlieue 13. Action sequences were pretty good, especially the chasing scene (Parkour).
G-Force..
Not bad.. but the characterizations were really poor. It's really funny on some parts though.
And, Tremendous dolby 3d effects..
Opening scene editing was awesome... ayan-la uruviyirupAnga... :evil:Quote:

Nerd, I'm surprised you haven't seen it yet.
Watched it 4 times in full. 3 hours 8 minutes. Brilliant writing. Not much ruminations here to bore cinematic aficionados. :wink:
Like Charlie Kaufman had once put - Cinema is a dead medium, and you pack in as many details possible. In such a way that on subsequent viewings the audience could chew bit by bit. This is one such film. It stays with you, and there are lot of cinematic setpieces - trademark PTA tracking shots, especially the one in studio where they shoot quiz show. :D
Incidentally the title song of Magnolia i think is "One is the loneliest number", which happens to be a favorite of Kamal/Sruthi (inspiration for Ninaivo Oru Paravai). Papa sang that song tonight :)
:thumbsup: Great song. Love the title montage after the prologue. Apparently PTA made that himself. (In dvd extra, William H Macy jokes Anderson developed posters in his bathroom :lol: )
Liked the "Wise up" number which all the thematic characters sing in full. In general, loved the OST ensemble than in "Boogie nights", which was apt for the period, but not a favorite.
