Film / Documentary - Recently watched & worthy of some discussion

[Nerd]

Mindless Violence - whole point of the movie, no? padam-E adhu dhAn saar(not in the "dont drink and drive", "dont use mobile phone and simultaneously drive" messagey tone). nallA thAnE irunch - probably, the last endearing performance from Bharath. (copied almost scene by scene engiRa allegations apart)

Yeah, best of vishnu by miles.

Naan - Awful film. Poor excuse for a thriller with cheap thrills. Bad writinf, horrible acting and unbearable BGM. Indha padathukku support and idhu hit. And Yudhdham Sei received negative reviews. Kashtam.

hEy Ram...

Second half is phenomenal. First half is admirable for the details but it unfortunately increased the length of the movie.

Since I watched in 2 sittings, could enjoy it but in theater it's possible people became impatient with the first half. It's a phenomenal effort, however...what details

Had the whole first half got shortened to 20 min, it would have been a big success, IMHO.

Some revisits over the long weekend.

Pammal K. Sambandhan
Still laughing my ass off; but this time I paid attention to Kamal's performance. What conviction! There is zero Kamal in PKS. He's not playing it for laugh, but totally convinced of who he is; his policies and how he changes (or humanises himself from the rigid hanuman baktar) is a treat to watch. I see NT's Muradhan Muthu in many place (watch how he describes what he can do to Yugi Sethu in the textile shop, pure NT). Can revisit anytime (it turned up again later in comedy channel and was still laughing)

Poova Talaiya

I suppose inspiration for the likes of V. Sekhar, Ramanarayanan, TPG. Also, Rajini's Mappila. Jai Shankar is fun; Gemini too, surprisingly. There was a jarring moment when the two female leads do a song at the waterfall, can easily be misinterpreted today.

PattukOttai Periyappa.

Lovely film. This time more for laughs. Chinni Jayanth part especially. Visu rulz....
