Blade runner (1982) (director cut)

konjam blade dhaan.........expected a sci-fi but turned out to be a philosophical film

Angaadi Theru

Watched it till the Soundarapandi-Selvarani episode. As I posted during the release, this was more touching and effective than the main plot.

oh yeah - that was the deception required to get to the "Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep" - The climax ranks among one of the
best sci fi climaxes - Match that Mr.Nolan.
And the ambiance and mis-en-scene - typical Philip Dick world meticulously recreated - only sections of Minority Report achieve the same level of success.
A Must watch movie for all scifi fans and particularly Ridley Scott fans - The anti corporation tone we saw in Alien was a complete match here in this movie too.

Watched parts of Tintin yday on TV.
Not bad I say. I didn't watch it in the theatres because I heard they changed and mixed stories a lot.
Now I think I will watch it fully once.

[NOV]

tintin was one of the most enjoyable movies of last year

[P_R]

Yeah I heard the plot changes from my friends. Crab with Golden Claws, mixed with Unicorn, Sakharine made Rackham's descendent - and a mix and match of Unicorn and RRT. So was slightly skeptical. Yday I saw and it was quite engaging.

yes, the line - "my emotions are like tears in the rain" and "you are supposed to be the good man" - though like a tamil movie dialogue, but was a bouncer given its from the machine ......infact i watched this movie because it topped 2001:A Space odyssey in most sci-fi movies list and esp the ones rated by scientists themselves.........yeah, it is indeed a cult classic for this genre - the director had built a convincing alternate world unlike the "similar to reality" blue world of Avatar.......the cramped up, dirty streets overflowing with people of chinese race was such a naughty point made by the director .......

i had problems with pacing of the movie, in the sense, it didnt ponder on the visuals for long enough to admire it......2001 was a classic case of "forget writing, just watch it" with its breathtaking visuals - BR didnt manage to do it......bourne series kinda action scenes occupied lot of space......but yea, it was layered much more than 2001 - whether the tyrell corporation had plan to replace humans wholly with replicants, was Deckard himself a replicant, what it takes to be human etc.....

it simply lacked the dazzle of 2001 like the space hostess walking around 360 degree to enter the astronauts room thats upside down - nenachhale pullarips.........maybe i started it with wrong perspective

Thiruthani - less said the better

Thirupachi, Sivakasi, Thirupathi ok, but afterwards movies from perarasu have been poor.
