Same question here.

Vijay's next movie is named Thalaiva it seems. But, how did Selva get to watch it even before its release?

Parker
Directed by Taylor Hackford
Based on Flashfire by Donald E. Westlake [wonderful series]

Starring : Jason Statham as Parker, Jennifer Lopez as Leslie Rogers, few theives, others getting shot.

Parker is a theif. After a fine heist, he is double crossed by his team members and is left for dead. After being rescued by a famer family and with the help of a Realestate agent Leslie, he tracks his ex-team members to teach them a lesson or two.

Not much action in the film. The film goes forward with many problems. There are couple of major ones, other than the plot-holes, one being either the director or Jason Statham have not clearly understood character Parker (those who have read the novels will make out what I am saying), secondly many characters come and go, some even disappear, only left are Statham and Lopez. But some scenes do capture our interest.

Statham gives his usual macho performance - same, same & same. But it is Lopez who made me say "This lady can act". She is brilliant as a failed and depressed realestate agent. She shines in the scene when she offers her help to Statham.

Parker - for fans and to kill time.

A genuine horror flick which thrills you most of the time. Climax was a bit let down.

Its under Guillermo del Toro [whom I highlighted in my Hobbit review] executive production. Awaiting the movie here, think its a May release.
I see that you are watching a bit of horror flicks these days. Did watch Sinister and Possession. Was not impressed with either, so did not post a comment. But Sinister, as you had mentioned, had 2 or 3 jumpy-moments whereas Possesion was dry.

Forth comming (for summer 2013) : Evil Dead & Poltergeist.
[Evil dead is the movie I was scared when I was kid, had a good laugh with my friends in my teens and later judged it to be cult & classic]

[ajaybaskar]

Same here with Evil Dead. It scared the s#!t out of me when I watched it in the 90s. Now it's as funny as Hangover or a Due Date.

Poltergeist wasn't scary. Lets see if the new version is.

[NOV]

Evil Dead gave me a severe headache after watching it... and it was on video tape those days.
Extremely scary film... that I dared not re visit again!

Agree with people on Evil Dead. I saw both the parts when I was kid and had to watch dozen other spiritual movies to erase the impact.
