Hunger Games - not bad...though am reluctant about the whole trilogy as movies...let's see...
BATTLESHIP...-- Excellent movie..
When i saw first 20 min, i thought i came for a diff. movie..:huh:
after tat, movie is geared to my expectation.. its purely adopted frm the video game "Battleship"
Heroine :swinghead: ;)
Submarine. Delightful. Another coming of age story, but very creative, very original and very very hilarious. I had few issues during Act 2 that the story didn't really build up, but this is a solid film that I find tough to dislike.
The Talented Mr.Ripley
Whatay lovely.
Ending konjam wordiness kammiyA irundhirukkalaam. But I won't complain.
Paltrow :bow:
Damor-Law :clap:
Flip Seymoor Hoffman :clap: (ivvaLavu loud-A irundhA dhaan ivar performance pudikkudhu. Much heralded Magnolia, Lebowski, Capote ellAm enakku okay only. Synecdoche - enakku edhu pudikkalaiyO naan thoongiruvEn)
Plot heaviness-ai kammi paNNi ammoorla kooda indha kadhaiyai try paNNalaam
Many 'pure cinema' range moments also.
Comfortably trumps Englis Patients simply because the basic material is so much better.
The Damon-Blanchett romance itself just fantastic :bow:
Overall...innum konjam depthA, subtle-A iRangi irukkalaamO?
Alter ego: purinjA ippadi solluvE, puriyalainnA thittuve....pOda dei
Boring film. Boring phlow.
:rotfl:
The Grey - first 30 minutes :thumbsup:
Yes. The first half an hour was awesome
Instand queue-la irukku. Paaththura vENdiyadhu dhaan :-)Quote:

The themes, the ideas, situations, characters, locations - all were good. The way he gets off the hook with the American detective reminded me of Match Point getting away with murder.
Ending became a little too plot heavy in twists. But it was always quite gripping. Hollywood B/O mind-la vachchukittAlE romba bore adikka mudiyAdhu. That insurance is there for us midbrow viewers.

Yeah, I saw your Dorian Gray tweet. Edhukkum ungaloda jakkirathaiya irukkanum..
I thought it's going to be mindless carnage. 4-0 down, but right at the death, Humans got 1 back. Still when it turned 1-9 in favor of wolves massively, it seemed a non-contest. But then like a oriental martial arts flick, he gets a last man(or animal) standing with the Alpha. Such a shame that we don't see the main event. After the credits, it's not quite clear whether he survived it but at least he took the m___f___ down with him. But it stays true to the lyric that pervades every molecule of the film's atmosphere, and even so bluntly framed on to the wall, 'live and die on this day'..Quote:

The film score was very Clint Mansell-esque, but used in a much more subtle way. That makes for a fantastic mood setting with the extreme freeze backdrop.
I also have "The Hunter" to watch. Hell yeah to 'Man vs Nature' genre! Pity though none will ever match the great John Carpenter. Dafoe though better than Neeson ain't no Kurt Russell.
I thought you meant the boring phlow for MinghellA.
Damon boring-A?? oru maadhiri nallA seyvaapla. I didn't see Invictus. I last saw him in Informant and liked him.
ellA role-um oru maadhiri orE mAdhiri irukkum. But Ripley is possibly his best thus far I've seen.
Clement-Delon film...haven't watched.

ya... rc1 the land battle strategy was awesome... rc2 was good too... as u say maybe the graphics were below par...
i liked both as i warched them in consequent days...
i was more surprised at the production values being a non holluwood movie...
Spoiler Alert: The Avengers - Alternate Ending
Never Laughed so much in longtime (last was Hangover Part I) watching a trailer..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxKfC77XAp8 :lol: .. He is one F*ing.. Ted
The Next Three Days.
OrukAlatthula, Brando, de Niro, Pacino varisiyile Russell Crowe-vum serthittirunthEn, but he was doing crap last decade. Here, he's good, but the role is below him. Interesting, if you can wait for the last half an hour.
sorry bhai,Quote:

Canada, I think. Yeah, a let down. But antha range-la irukkura manusanukku avalavau thooram-thAn pOga mudiyin-pOla irukku. But its not that I liked, the suspense part, evading authority and all that was worth the wait. Plus I like Crowe, so the movie was watchable.
The Big Sleep (1978).
Finally, caught it on TV. Wanted to watch it since I got to know about it. Robert Mitchum sleepwalks, like sometimes, literally (no thanks to his smallish eyes). Too faithful to the novel, and looks terribly outdated for even a 70s flick.
My third screen Marlowe. More to go (including the 50s and 80s TV series...arrr...so difficult to get).
Avengers- Absolutely entertaining. Its worth every penny....Every superhero has his moment, but it is Ironman and the hulk who take the cake...
Caught up with avengers too.. Not actually into these kind of super hero flicks so i found it a little boring now and then.. But iron man um hulk um :claps: made it entertaining!
Movie about worst director......was curious about the story and that too Johnny Depp in it.....wanted to watch it for long time.
Finally, caught up with Ed Wood....didn't expect the movie would be so enjoyable. Fun, one minute...tragic, nex minute...with neat performance, sound and visuals. Very good :thumbsup:
Johnny :clap: :clap: Martin Landau :clap:
Wondering who would be the worst director in Tamil cinema.....

Harrowing enough Trailer. Nola(r)'s best yet!!!
Okay, the best film of the year? Who knows...
Mississippi Burning starring Gene Hackman, Willem Dafoe. The most striking movie about racism that I had watched so far. Gene Hackman's performance - :notworthy:
Only to be made into a horrendous remake by priyadarshan in hindi....Damn!! every time I try to revisit Mississippi Burning I get reminded of aakrosh.......Guess I made the mistake of watching the remake without knowing it was one.....Quote:
