Not Bad. Jodie Foster was very good as usual.
Never thought it would be this good. Will catch it soon. :)Quote:

Normally I have an aversion to overtly explosive Alien-based Sci-fis, but this is really impressive stuff. A faux-documentary narrative that effectively maps a character study of a man(by its end, more of a half-man), the protagonist, selected by his agency to shift Aliens (offensively called 'Prawns') from a settlement near Johannesburg to Concentration Camp-like outskirts. The "Prawns" are interesting specimen, the Nigerian slum in the settlement, and supporting characters are presented well. The metamorphosis (I wouldn't reveal more) of the character is more than just skin-deep, emotional & psychological shift beautifully brought-out, not that important but it's scientifically plausible. While one would be tempted to wrongly phrase this 'humanity', it's more of an allusion to 'selfish genes'. Immensely buy-able character graph and plot for a ridiculously fictitious setting.
The CGI work is excellent, it is almost like Stalker-meets-Halo-meets-HL2 (if you're into console Games), but the brilliance lines in 'seamlessly' presenting a Zelig-like commentary/statement on the protagonist.
The Damned United
- Brilliant for a Peter Morgan-Miachael Sheen fan
- Good introduction to Brian Clough-Peter Taylor-Don Revie
- Above average for a football fan

My answer, so far NO!!! :evil: But sweet film though. Nic Cage and Bridget Fonda was good. Never thought I'd like any Fonda except Henry, but Bridget was cute here.

Hard Eight/Sydney - PT Anderson-in-construction. Keeps one interested till its end. Very simple and low-budgeted. As with his other films, great acting. But nowhere near an accomplishment like his other works.
UP
It is a movie about a man named Carl who ties helium balloons to his house to fulfill his departed wife's greatest wish: To live next to Paradise Falls in South America. Upon liftoff, he discovers a young boy named Russell on his front step, and together they journey to Paradise Falls. From there on, its a journey that makes the viewers realise the importance of a family.
I was not following animation movies until I watched 'Ratatouille'. 'UP' is another great work from Pixar that makes you leave the hall with a smile in your face.
:thumbsup: It is a must watch.
Ajay,
How was it in 3D?
Awesome. there is nothing like the 'Ice cream coming to your hand' sort of effects. Alavana effects, valamana padam.
I am dying to watch this. No tickets :|Quote:

#2 - Baran (Iran). Directed by Majid Majidi of 'Children of Heaven' fame. (Incidentally, this is one of the other films that lost to 'Life is Beautiful' in the oscar race. Lovely film on love. Simplicity is Majid's forte (have watched his three other films), and this film is yet another warm and poetic fare. And this was aired by MakkaL TV on Valentine's day :) And i think Lal-Meera's Rasathanthram took one or two cues from this film!
I have given up watching "Children Of Heaven" after perhaps my fourth attempt while traveling this weekend. Idhukku munnadi namakku mood/setting seri illa nu manasa thethikitten.
Caught some scenes from "Song of the sparrows" (Jaffer Panahi) also. Result, same. Maybe much later. Give up for now
Cultural inaccessibility? Or, The bits of it were suggestive of unrewarding experience, maybe?Quote:

The theme was universal all right, so it was not an issue of cultural inaccessibility. The latter. Not engaging enough, porumai illa :)Quote:

"Song of the Sparrows" was directed by Majid Majidi :)Quote:
