எனக்குத் தெரிந்து ஒரு படைப்பு பலதரப் பட்டவர்களால் (எழுத்தாளர்கள், விமர்சகர்கள்) ஒரே இடத்தில் உரையாடப்பட்டது நந்தலாலாவிற்கு மட்டும்தான்.
:notworthy:
Zero Dark Thirty
While the film was touted to be the OBL assassination episode, it actually is about the search for the man. It claims that without Maya's (Chastain) intelligence and determination, OBL would've never been found.
Other Oscar contenders have to be extremely good to prevent ZDT from bagging the golden statuette.
DJANGO (D silent) Unchained
Written and Directed by Quentin Tarantino
Starring
Jamie Foxx
Christoph Waltz
Leonardo DiCaprio
Samuel L. Jackson
Some black Salves &Their filthy masters, Outlaws and horses
Running time 2h45 mins
America during slave trade - outlaws & bounty hunters - lawless country side - plantation Zamindhars are the main points on which the film is constructed on. A bounty hunter Dr. Schultz (Christoph Waltz) escapes a slave Django (Jamie Foxx) to track down 3 brothers who are in Wanted Dead or Alive Category. Along with Django he hunts them, but in the course of time Schultz forms a friendly affection towards Django. Django is a sad man who lost his wife, but Schultz assures him that if he had not seen her dead, then she would be caught in the salve trade. Schultz proposes him to help him hunt outlaws and in return he will help him find his wife. At a stage, they reach Mississippi which is famous for "plantation" and they get a clue where Django's wife might be - With an arogant Zamindhar Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio). They hatch a plan to trick him and get Django's wife back. Upon their arrival they are welcomed by a curious eyed Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson). Whether they find Django's wife Dead or Alive forms the rest of the story.
I liked the way the film progresses - Django and Schutlz & outlaws - Calvin Candie Entry - menancing Stephan - Escape - Revenge - Climax. Its like reading a book or going thru a graphic novel. A tick to Naration.
Story - agony of a man who has lost his wife in a wrong place at a wrong time and his adventures in search of her. A tick to Execution
Performance - Christoph Waltz & Leonardo DiCaprio shine out. Jamie Fox as the nigger on a horse is bad a$$. Samuel L. Jackson, should I tell about him ? A tick to Casting
BGM : As usual Tarantino picks up the nostalgic themes and songs. Tick to RR [you hear Sadle noise, leather gloves noise etc which put you really au milleu the scene)
Run time : Trust me, even after 2h45 mins, you will want more. Tick to entertainement.
Not because its a Tarantino' movie I recomend it, but because I enjoyed this movie. MUST WATCH
PS. Note the Cameo of Franco Nero [remember the real Django ...] & the funny Tarantino's end.
-EDIT-
Warning : For those who have not seen or liked exploitation movie, this movie has got some violent (less gore scenes)
Thiruthani... 15 mins... adhukkappuram mudiyala :cry:
Oh ! .. you missed the highlight of the film : cameo by Perasu & TR-Simbu-Vambu punch !Quote:

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey aka Lord of the rings Part 0
Based on "The Hobbit" by J. R. R. Tolkien
Directed by Peter Jackson [Screen Play : Guillermo del Toro (a name to note for those who do not know him)]
Filmed in 3D - runtime 3 hours
Cast
A main Hobbit and some other hobbits
Tall man with white beard
10+ Dwarfs
Bizzare creatures and monsters
A dragon
An adventure tale of Bagins (Frodo's Uncle) about 50 years prior of Lord of the rings. Yes - its about how he got the ring ! What ring ? Watch LOTR. So, When a kingdom of dwarfs is attacked and taken by a dragon, the survivor Prince Thorin vows to take back his kingdom. For this he assembles 12 other dwarfs each one skilled in an art of war. They all know Gandalf. Gandalf tricks Bagins to come with them to the mountains to take down the dragon. Why an hobbit, because the dragon could not get his scent. So they all go, cross forests, get trapped, chased, lost & found and at one point they get trapped in Misty mountains when 2 gaint mountains were fighting. Here there are Goblins - deformed creatures. Bagins escapes them as they could not smell him out but the rest of the dwarfs get caught. Here is the important part : A fall takes bagins to the under under under (yes you have read it right, I said 3 under and not a typing mistake) of misty mountains where he meets Gollum. Gollum looses his ring accidently, which Bagins take. He then uses the ring to escape from Gollum who is last seen screaming and crying in his pathetic hole, while Bagins joins the other dwarfs and flees of the Misty Mountains. Then you have the climax with a gaint on a wolf - an unsettled score between the gaint and Thorin. Then they all, with the help of Huge birds come to a spot where they see the Dwarf's Lonely mountain - their destination. The film ends here, but the journey of the Hobit will continue in the next 2 parts.
Firstly - 3hrs of 3D was too much. Most of us got out with Headaches and dizzyness, eventhough the 3D effects in the movie was spectacular.
Nothing quite new here - just enhanced Special effects. If you are not a fan of Fantasy films (like me), you start to wonder where the movie is going or you will be ready to take a helicopter and get the guys to their destination ASAP. Some moments were really testing my patience.
Action - Most of the encounters looked Gamish. I think the recent PS3 games have much better presentation than this movie. In the movie it looks like LOTR video game.
Only thing that got my attention was - meeting with Gollum and it was nicely done. They have done a lot of experiment on Gollum and has some extra-ordinary effects on the face expression. I recomend all to watch the Gollum episode if possible.
The movie is strictly for
- Fantasy movie lovers
- readers of J. R. R. Tolkien
- LOTR followers
- the one who projects it in the theatre.
And dont forget to take your amurthangan with you.
Dammu (telugu) - not good
This movie must be sequel to Brindavanam. The only difference is the dose of violence. JR. NTR. didnt improve his acting but only in dance and fighting. Brindavanam had Kajal and Samantha. Dammu has Trisha and Karthika. Same comedians doing some non laughable comedy. Songs are looking colorful and grand. Theres no doubt that Tollywood is bigger than Kollywood. I hope Jr. Ntr. will try out something new than the repeat formula. Ask my idol if it works.
Brindhavanam > Dammu > SakthiQuote:

நடுவுல கொஞ்சம் பக்கத்த காணோம்.. சிறப்பான அம்சங்கள் நிறைந்த படைப்பு. எனக்கு நிறைவை அளித்த ஒன்று..
பாலாஜி தரணீதரன் :notworthy: மொதோ படத்திலேயே பெரிய நம்பிக்கைத் தூணை ஊன்றியிருக்கிறார். வாழ்த்துக்கள். கிளாசிக் வகையினுள் சம்மணமிட்டு அமர்கிறது படைப்பு.
*** டைட்டில் பாடலிலேயே ஒவ்வொரு கதாபாத்திரத்தின் குணநலன்களை பட்டியல் போட்டு ஆரம்பிக்கும் விதத்திலிருந்து.. படத்தின் கடைசிக் காட்சி வரை.. "வித்யாசமா பண்றேன்! வித்யாசமா பண்றேன்!"னு திரிஞ்சிகிட்டு இருக்கிற கோடம்பாக்க இயக்குனர்கள் இந்தப் படத்தை ஒரு வகுப்புப் பாடமாக எண்ணி நிறைய கத்துக்கணும்.
Julayi - a better telugu movie
A well presented movie that works in telugu, would not click well with tamil audience. Allu arjun is stylish indeed throughout he movie, deservingly called stylish star among fans. Ileana doesnt have much to do than play "like/not like" games with hero, but she plays a crucial part near interval. All the comedians done good job on comedy department. Sonu Sood, and the mute girl are convincing as reall bad guy/girl. Songs by DSP are catchy, dance is good, kudos to choreographers.
The only minus is the end when he reforms into a good guy who listen to parents, old movie stereotype formula that is tiring.
I do not wish to pull you into an argument bringing in the similarities of this Trivikram movie and one of your favorite movies of 2012. No suprise that you gave a favorable review for this movie. I watched it for Rajendra Prasad, and was disappointed how his comic abilities were misused. Other than that this movie stays in the bin for me. And for Allu Arjun and his "stylish star" title, no comments too as there would be a "AA veriyan" hidden here.Quote:

Nice that someone is watching & posting their take on Telugu movies.
3 on TV now
Just realised something
Take a glass of milk = A
Take half glass of A mix equal amount of water = B
Take half glass of B and mix equal amount of water = C
A = Mayakkam Enna
B = 3
C = Neethaane En Pon vasantham
NOV - mixing paththi-laam pEsa aarambicchuttInga?
paal thaanE :p
Kanna Laddu Thinna Aasaiyaa?
Probably the 2nd worst remake of a classic after Maappillai. Santhanam evokes a few laughs but mostly a rehash of his earlier jokes. Powerstar is irritating to the core. In fact, because of him the film falls flat. If you love IPNV, better stay away.
if u love'ah.. enna kelvi idhu.. classic.. first half each & every scene, every dialogue is a classic..Quote:

The Bicycle Thief - படத்தைப் பார்த்து ரசித்த எண்ணற்ற மனிதர்களின் வரிசையில் நானும் கலந்துவிட்டேன். படைப்பாளியின் காலில் விழுகிறேன்.. :notworthy:
I suggest you to watch "Beijing bicycle" right away. You'll come to know how much Vetrimaran (kaalla vizhundhadhu avar dhaan) draws inspiration in his Polladhavan from that young boy in job,stolen bike,in search of it, romance, family father-son scuffle, Fuse-Lee's six-pack!! told from a different, unimaginable perspective.Quote:

If Chandramukhi was an example of how to make a bad remake, Nagavalli is a perfect example of making a bad sequel. Glad that Rajnikanth didn't opt for making the movie in Tamil.

Happy For Jessica Chastain who took the GG's yesterday. Knew she belonged in the big leagues[/url] while watching her as the Mom in "The Tree of Life". BTW, Where did you see this film?.
