Maan Karatae - Could have been lot better. Pesama ARM-ae screenplay vum ezhuthirukalam. Comedy ah kondupolama serious ah kondupolamanu confuse aagitaaru director. Songs are treat to watch.

Satish paya comedy lam mokkaiya irruku Kathi layachum paathu pannungappa.

Murugadoss screen appearance made Anirudh's better.

The Raid: Redemption - Brilliant action movie with excellent casting. There is not much plot in this movie but the mind blowing stunts and the love the director has put into every scene of this movie makes it a must watch for action lovers. This is an action movie done right.

Need to see the sequel soon.

Legend ( telugu with N.Balakrishna)

I donno why I even watched it - maybe the trailer seemed interesting, or i needed a massive overdose of gulte style violent action...snide political comments, gory bloody fights with axes and assorted weapons, colorful dances with too young heroines... there is an overdose of everything you want and loads of sentiment too...

actually it wasnt bad - was quite interesting and I finally realise what I miss on tamil screens - a loud overthetop masala movie with a larger than life hero verbally and physically assaulting the villains .... I miss captain and his polical punches on screen.... do we even have a hero now who can do powerful/loud dialogs now ????

Did you watch RGV Rowdy ? Its nothing more than RGV's nth take on his oown cult movie Sarkar. But still he stamps few novelty in Rowdy too if you really care to look at them or you are a fan of RGV works like me. Still no one to match RGV the way he shows a normal scene awesome or projects his characters much larger than life in a beleivable manner. Many have looted his shots to make their movies and escape with lauds, but RGV certainly remains a film maker with big ideas. Mohan Babu and his deliveries were awesome. Villans are the normal RGV "think-tank" characters, this time one keeps on eating cakes and ends up his life doing so ... LoL. The interval block was gore & glory on screen with some outstanding BGM & location.

Rowdy - Respect

And no, there is no replacement for Vijayakanth yet. I doubt there will be one as the dimension of performence & audience demands have changed. Legend & Balakrishna, many may make fun of him, but no one can match his long dialogue dilivery with some aweosme electrifying effects without BGM. Current generation hero who came quite close was Junior NTR with his awesome performence in "Yamadonga". As you have mentioned, yes, Legend is an awesome overdose of awfullness.

satish works out ok if he's with a hero of same age group. ivanlam namma aala vada poda-nu koopta out than.

that's why vijay-vivek combo worked out so well.
