Shankar about Moodar Koodam.....
http://behindwoods.com/tamil-movies-...ar-koodam.html
Basically you cannot summarize a movie of this magnitude. The major plus of the movie is that it has lot of flavors which are packaged efficiently. Where it supposedly falls flat is the story on hand. For instance, Soodhu Kavum and MK have lot of similarities towards story, plot & sub-plots. But where SK wins is it stuck to its one-liner, where as MK did an unnecessary stretching. Naveen wanted to give an extra concentrated film, and its here the problem starts. But MK does over takes SK in the parts where parallels are drawn between characters. For example, the 2nd daughter and Senrayan are parallels - Infatuation + he gives his shirt, she gives her doll. Similarly Kuberan and the kid, the theif and Oviya's Lover (fake projection about themselves), Jayaprakash and Auto Kumar (supremacy) so on and so forth. So to establish these complex characterization, Naveen took small steps carefully and came out quite successful. But it has its downside also, where you tend not to clearly follow the character's behaviors and attitude making you feel its an overdose or overwork.Quote:

Sutta Kathai - Disapointing :( . Expected it to be much better after seeing the trailer
When I watched the trailer, the Thai movie "Tears of the Black Tiger" came to my mind. Thought Sutta Kathai would be a parody and quite hilarious. And indeed the trailer was appealing.
It is sort of a parody ..... but I was not laughing for most of the intended jokesQuote:

If you are tired of fake - "graphics" super-hero or "over-flowing-brainy" sci-fi or "punch-less" action or "dumb" thriller - movies, Escape Plan is just for you. Arnie/Sly are back at business. Whats important is that you get the long lost old-school heroism.Quote:

Excellent. Kept me engrossed throughout. These days I have developed a habit of watching a movie in parts. But GBG made me to watch it in one stretch.
Yes, Gone Baby Gone is an excellent film. It has all the class to be celebrated as one of the best in the beginning decade of the millennium. Its Ben Affleck's debut and the whole sub-plots which get major importance as the story progresses gets you hooked. His other movie Town was great but dragged a bit while establishing the emotions of the main characters. And then came Argo, I had talked about it, another not to be missed film.
Dennis Lehane is my favorite crime-suspense novelist. His stories mainly happens in Boston and how he takes you for a ride is magically. Even though many may argue that Mystic River is one of best adaptation of his novel, I always stick to Shutter Island. If you are a "Crime-mystry-suspense" story lovers, he is the author for you.
I saw 2 movies this week,
machete kills and second one Telugu Nagarjuna Movie "Bhai" . You won't believe both were So similar (I would say 90% aligned with each other). Interesting part was first one is consider as "American comedy exploitation action movie" and later is considered as " Indian Mass Entertainer". You can't get better visual reality check as to how backward Indian Cinema is and how far we need to travel to provide a global entertainer.
Insidious 2...much creepier than The conjuring
Really? Insidious 2 was an unnecessary sequel to a great horror film. It felt like he was forced to make that movie due to a contract.Quote:

Machete Kills is not a direct sequel but you can say its the same main characters. Charlie Sheen as the Powerful Man & Mel Gibson as the super villan adds to the laughter boiling point. And the chameleon characters were funny, including Lady Gaga and poor little Antonio Banderas ! The most hillarious scenes were when Machete is hanged & Machete doesn't Tweet (LoL). The major disappointments were there were less girls + the voilence was a rehash from Part 1 + the action sequences were not up to the mark but just more digital blood (Is Rodriguez tired or loosing his grip !). But the film safegaurds the silliness, which works in favour of the film as it did for the former.
I did not know you would watch these genres. I am a huge fan of exploitation movies, esp. their posters/stills.
Here is a site that might interest you : http://fantasticfest.com/
It has a lot of articles and schedules of films specilising in "horror, fantasy, sci-fi, action and just plain fantastic movies from all around the world."
Check the Drafthouse films too, the link is on top of the site
And here is a site I frequent almost every sunday afternoon : http://www.grindhousedatabase.com/index.php/Main_Page
A wonderful site with lots of information mostly on the 42nd street movies. It has some cool posters.
The best part is they give the link to buy the Dvds and most of the film are less than 5 dollars.
Check the links provided on top of this site too.
Warning : If you are not an exploitation movie fan, please dont check any of these sites or watch Machete films. Its Rated double R (for everything) .. LoL.
For ex : Machete kills people by throwing their intestine over the fans of a Helicopter.
Waiting for Machete Kills Again ... In Space.
Did you see the Akshay Kumar starrer "Boss" ! excellent film which definelty will provoke you to write a sentence with wild card characters ... LoLQuote:

Here we have theaters in both east and west which screen only movies of these genres and also cult sci-fi (likes of Serenity) for 2 bucks over the weekend. Whenever I have couple of hours after lunch , I go there time to time.
Man of Steel (on dvd) - Huge dissapointment.
I had high expectations for the movie. The movie was way more different than expected. It has many flashbacks, and is confusing to watch. The best part about the movie are the action scenes.
One of the main reason I liked to watch old Superman movies and Lois & Clark was the humourous scenes, especially in the old movie, even the sidekicks had some scenes that made me ROFL.
This movie is made too serious to enjoy. Superman lost his charm in the movie.
I hope they will make him look better in upcoming movie Superman vs. Batman.
Even I had a pretty high expectation , when JJ promoted it first with Super 8. I don't have much hopes on Superman vs Batman, will see.Quote:

Mathappu- Not a bad movie, directed by 'Dhinathorum' Nagaraj. Hero's voice is exactly like actor Karthi's voice(Sivakumar's son)...name of the Hero character is "Karthi". Some scenes are good here & there..

Agree. Was it by Suseendran? Was thinking it will be thulluvatho ilamai type but I was pleasantly surprised it was not the case. Film wasn't manipulative or preaching. It was simple and straight forward. The girl was fantastic. She lived the character. The last song wasn't needed but what a film.Quote:
