sooperappu...
Mano,
It has to be "Tree of Life". Every Malick film is like a moment in film history, long hiatus in between shooting up the expectations to roof top. And with a trailer like that, you must, must watch it ASAP..
"Biutiful"
Javier really steals the show, his hard exterior and vulnerable moments, his anguish, guilt, his well-meaningfulness and need to survive, his devotion towards his kids are all what allow you to keep watching this grim gloomy movie with a touch of the looming supernatural.
I've been an ass and watched numerous films this week, though the da vinci code and the passion of the christ were the most engaging out of the lot.
Halloo
U Seen?

Same here bud. Watched it yesterday.
No I haven't seen. But if I had the chance, I'd have..
"Bridesmaids"
Hangover for the girlies...tragicomedy with squeamish craziness...fluff with hints of grey
"There will be blood"
Why it took me this long to watch this movie, I don't know..but I'm glad I got to watch it at least now.
Daniel Day Lewis, whose accolades were frankly lost on me in "Gangs of New York" (when a teen and in which I mostly forwarded "gory/gross" scenes).
Powerful, enigmatic, insanely well etched character,
oilman not only in profession, but within his very being
mention for Dano too,
(i wonder how one feels when they are commended for playing an awful character so very well...)
BGM is so very creepy and so very apt.
Script...minimalistic yet echoingly memorable.
This because I cannot click "Like" :smile:Quote:

Major league II (1994) - Funny ass spoof film. Charlie sheen's middle name should be Funny. A owner who wants his team to lose, A pitcher who throws pies, A mad fan who taunts his own team and a catcher who can't throw back to the pitcher. Pit everything against each other you get a mad comedy.
Great choice of sheen's(Kodutha vecha dawg) girl friends - One was hot and the other was homely..
Two and a half men - Season 7 (Episodes 10-24) - Notorious, outrageous, hilarious. The season is off to a blast when Chelsea dumps Charlie. :rotfl:. Add Jake in mid-teens and Alan we are in for a riot. TAHM is the best sit com in show business in the stateside.
Well, no longer after this. What a shame.

But they made this film for 3-10 year olds, so can't complain. Anyway can watch for the laughs and the thrills.
Yeah, Vast chunk of the charm is down to Sheen's chemistry with Cryer, Mom, Kid & rest. Chuck Lorre is going to parody it by replacing him with Ashton Kutcher :twisted:Quote:

TAHM is perhaps the only piece of work(Movie or Teleseries) where almost every character is so perfect of whatever i have watched. Be it the stalking rose, biatch of an ex-wife Judith, show runner Charlie, Sharp tongued house keeper Berta :bow: and his Anti-christ of a Mother evelyn harper. Jake needs a special para. Dude, is the coolest kid in Hollywood now w/o no ego in his head. The teenage boy makes 300 grand a week. Only come september 2011, we will come to know whether Warner Bros and Chuck Lorre have cut their golden goose from their ratings. I still plan 2 watch the series from the 9th season.
FX(4 episodes/day) and My Phl 17(2/day) roll all episodes of TAHM in their channels. FEI, Guys don't need to buy the dvd's to watch all the previous 7 seasons.
TAHM - Season 4 Season starter - Whose Vod Kanockers?. Steven Tyler is the cameo, Charlie after season 3 finale when his marriage with Mia called off takes Alan back. LOL Moments are Jake's imitation of Harper brother's fight, charlie getting his ass kicked by steven tyler and gifting the vomittied Alan's gifted hat back at Tyler.
A live woman of proven fertility - . Charlie dates a new girl just like his mother's character and works even in the same profession(real estate). When Alan and Berta point out the obvious similarities, charlie is blinded by love(sex).
They have cut him from the new season. Kutcher is going to play Charlie Harper :sigh2:

ஒரு எழவும் புரியல..
Yeah, Stan and I been following up on this and certainly are terribly disappointed. You are right, it's gonna be a parody.Quote:

Even during the 7th and 8th seasons they stopped producing the show cause of Mr. Sheen's drug/sex escapades and Grapevine is that the technical crew were fed up cos of sheen and they are quite relieved now.
Kutcher is younger to Sheen. May be they can keep pushing Charlie Harper for another 3-4 seasons as a bachelor if they want to milk the system. He will certainly fit the look and if he puts up a decent show and the show can be still successful w/o sheen.
Problem is Kutcher could never fit the bill as Charlie Harper. Sheen brought so much vanity & bullying to the part. So much so it's difficult to see someone with soft edges & metrosexual demeanor doing it. Gonna be a parody of what Sheen brought to the role as Grouch fears.
Lorre should do the honorable thing & close this show down, I think..
Surprised with your slight optimism, Stan. You yourself said how much Sheen brought his real self to the character and contributed to the success of the show. That can never be replicated.
But at the same time, let's look at James Bond. Template irunthum, Connery brought much of the ruggedness to the role, owned it to the point they thought nobody can replace him. Well, the critics were wrong, look at the character now.

Jon cryer(Alan) winning an emmy. Listen at the end what he has to say about Charlie sheen 8-)
This is one where you find only in season dvd's. Charlie's ex-reunuion.

The mighty power of James Cagney.
Angels With Dirty Faces.
What a movie. More importantly, what an actor. Oh man, my talaivar's Talaivar-na chummava....suttodu suudaa, I revisited Roaring Twenties. Both with Bogart in it, and Bogart maybe awesome, but the shorter Cagney overshadows him, towers over him.
"Larry Crowne" another convienient outing capped by a movie...if it isn't annoying enough that they keep trying to put two polar opposites together as a couple it's two stellar actors who just don't go together. Tom Hanks seems like he's just playing himself, must be the effect of writing the story yourself perhaps? Julia contradicts the one thing she underlines in her class, which is to "care". Amusing performance by George Takai....Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Thalia, a cute actress who may have potential in soon times..new look for valderrama 8-)
T3...Bay pothumda..mudiyile..but VFX and action sequence :bow: intha company endhiran vfx pannirukalam :lol2:
watched one whole season of 24(season 8) at one go..started watching 9pm and finished it the next morning...amazing..it was so bloody addictive and i just couldnt stop..beats all the CSIs/prison break etc..jack bauer :bow:

MI-4 Trailer(not bad) was shown while wathing Tformers 3.
The Tree of Life - Some mixed emotions nevertheless a great watch :clap:. More on it tomorrow.
ajithfederar - sooper. Please write about it. I must watch it this weekend.
A couple of films, watched rather unwillingly.
Transformers 3, frustrating to say the least. I am not much of a fan of such films, but this one is an absolute non-starter even for people like me. Too long & tedious. The final spectacle is well done, (but sad to see Chicago that way, I love that city), but wait, you just can’t keep going on and on. The humor is bland; romance insipid. Though the characters move around in 3D, they are strictly one dimensional. And I hate 3D.
Cars 2 – Much of the time was spent in wondering why I came to this film if I don’t really connect well to animation films. But like Kung Fu Panda 2, this was alright as a time-pass watch, though the general template of such films is getting old. I loved the way they brought London and Paris on animation. Did I mention I hate 3D?
Four Funerals and A Wedding – I liked Hugh Grant in Notting Hill and chose this one to watch but seems he has a limited stock of expressions. This had an interesting premise at least and one should feel satisfied I guess. A few harmless laughs – especially the scene in which Grant gets locked in the room with the newly wed couple doing some Haunn stuff and that discussion about 32 sexual encounters; And that “Funeral Blues” poem was lovely.
The Tree of life - Like Robert De Niro said it is very hard to say why TTOL won the Palme D' Or likewise it is very difficult to write a review about this film. You have to watch it to grasp it. Hands down this is the most unique film I've watched ever. The movie is all about Visuals. Everything about cinematography. Terence Malick deserves a lot of praise. Suthi podalamnu solra alavukku irukku.
In present day, The film starts with a mother of a family receiving a telegram and then it is thrown into visuals of the Big Bang Theory(thanks wiki). It was just like watching a documentary from Nature channel or animal planet. It went on for like at-least 10-15 minutes. It's all about the evolution of the earth. There is No dialog or anything. It was just GOING. I was just frustrated when it was going on and I was thinking it was a wrong idea.
And when it is all finally over that's when the real beauty and the best part of the film starts. Cut to flashback, The movie moves to Texas, Pitt/Jessica Chastain as the mother with starkly different personalities. While the father is very strict and tries to insubordinate his kids into submission ridiculing even the minor matters the kids especially the bigger one doesnt like it a bit. The acting is natural to the last bit from the entire family. :clap:. The mother is just an Angel from Heaven which every boy dreams when growing up to have. The next hour and half or so is all about the family and that's why it is Brilliant and should be watched in Theatre if you can stand the previous 20-25 mins.
The ending of the film is again wide open to various interpretations. I don't want to say anything more as I have revealed a bit too much as it is already.
P.S: Brad Pitt is terrific as a father who wants to mould his children in the tough ways of today's world. I would be surprised if he doesn't get a nomination from the Academy this year.
:clap:

I had to take a train from Philly to go to Bryn mawr to see this film. This place is a wonder. They just have 2 screens and do just 3/4 shows a day max. They don't release new releases/blockbusters as such. They only release mostly Hollywood classics and critically acclaimed foreign films. The other film which was running there was Woody Allen's A midnight in Paris with a star studded cast and the trailer didn't look bad either.
For more info look into the link above.
Nice review of TTOL...hope to watch it soon.

Watchable for the suspense factor.
Two and a Half Men
Season 4 : Episode 22, 23 and 24.
Mr. McGlue's Feedbag - Alan asks Charlie to look after Jake when he has to go to DMV but charlie instead takes him to the track where Jake luckily wins 1120$.
Anteaters, They're Just Crazy Looking - Charlie loses a woman he is dating to a young, handsome handyman, Fernando (ENRIQUE IGLESIAS), who is working on Charlie's house. Fun-tastic episode.
Prostitutes and Gelato - Charlie and Alan must confront their "daddy issues" when Evelyn's new boyfriend, Teddy (ROBERT WAGNER - "Hart to Hart"), invites them to Las Vegas on his private jet to watch a boxing match.
Season 5, 1:
Large Birds, Spiders And Mom - Charlie and Alan try to prepare Jake for his first day of junior high school -- but they might end up traumatizing him instead. Funny as hell.
These are one of the best episodes in 4th season.
