Just thought you would like to know.
Righteous Kill. . .
Two veteran cops, played by two veteran actors Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, pursuing a serial killer in an adrenaline pumping psychological thriller. What else can you ask for?
The Mummy. . .
The first mummy movie was a new experience, which alongwith action; adventure also provided the spine chilling moments of fear. The second instalment [which in very exceptional cases beats the first one] was definitely far below the previous one, but still was fun to watch. But the third in the series is definitely a big let down to a great start. It is still the same clay and sand movie, The same hunger for the power, same love triangle, same undead armies, same guarding clan and off course if it is Chinese then the point to talk about is definitely immortality [God knows what is Hollywood’s obsession with China and the immortality pill].
The Dark Knight. . .
I watched Batman Begins and the wait for The Dark Knight Began. Everyone was talking about it from the day it went on floor. It released with the hype of Ledger’s lifetime performance. So much was expected from it and to tell you the truth the movie does lives upto the expectations. Yes Batman just got bigger and better. All the talk about Ledger is true. It became more realistic, a characteristic which Batman movies [before Batman Begins] totally lacked. The out of the league start with Batman Begins has been taken to the next level.
Via Darjeeling? At your own risk…
Discussing an unsolved mystery and drawing too many conclusions about nothing can be fun sometimes, especially when you are just chilling with friends on a dark rainy night with nothing much to do. Well this is the concept of ‘Via Darjeeling’ and frankly it was the concept only which took me to watch the movie, especially on a lazy Sunday afternoon. But to my dismay [and God knows whose delight?] only the concept turned out to be interesting.
Indiana Jones. . .
Before I watched Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull, my knowledge about the series was just limited to it being an adventure series and one of the movie stars Amrish Puri. As I have not watched the earlier 3, so comparing this instalment with the previous one is not possible for me. So let us talk about this one only and keep aside the pre-conceived notions about the series.
Iron Man. . .
The whole point of super heroes with extraordinary powers from some unexplainable reasons like biting of genetically modified insect, or because they are alien or mutants by birth or because they were caught in some radioactive storm, is pointless. Due to this reason only am not of a big superhero saga fan. But this doesn’t mean I have something personal against them. I do like the ones where ordinary men does extraordinary things [with personal skills or help from technology] to become a superhero. This makes me an admirer of Batman and now the list also have Iron man in it.
The Eye. . .
The most interesting thing which I found in the whole movie is its poster, of a huge human eye and a hand gripping it from inside. Actually the movie is not that bad either and with a runtime of something above 90 minutes it is a mediocre movie. Although I haven’t seen the original 2002 Hong Kong version of ‘The Eye’ but I think it must be doing the justice to the original.
Juno. . .
The movie won Oscar for Best Writing, and was nominated for the best motion picture and best performance by an actress in a leading role, it says all about a movie which is comic, sarcastic, and dramatic and talks about a serious subject of teenage pregnancy.
My Country My Life
My country my life, is the title of Mr. Advani’s autobiography. The book was recently released in a function which was attended, by everyone from politicians to business men, to actors, to journalists and other socialites. The whole media world was ablaze with speculations regarding the book. Everyone was enthusiastically waiting for it, as all of them wanted to know as to what one of the main architect of modern day politics has to say about issues on which till date he was mum. The Jinnah episode, the Kandahar crisis, his relationship with Atalji, the man has so much to talk about. Although I still do not know as to how much the book beholds about all these?
Meet The Spartans
Meet the Spartans has nothing to do with ‘Meet the Parents’, and by the promos you must know that it is a spoof of the [digital] blockbuster ‘300’. It is a spoof! Need I say anything more?
We Own The Night. . .
This James Gray movie is the story of two brothers Joseph [Mark Wahlberg] and Bobby [Joaquin Phoenix], one a cop and the other running a night club. Bobby has deserted his family name and legacy of being a cop, to own a night club. He spends his nights with his eye candy girlfriend [Eva Mendes] indulging in alcohol, drugs, gambling. Their paths coincides when their father Burt [Robert Duvall] who is also a cop, alongwith Joseph asks Bobby for information about Vadim, member of a dangerous Russian criminal underworld. Now will Bobby help his family or side up with Vadim? Will Joseph take on his own brother in order to crack down the mafia? All these questions are answered in the movie in a very swift and suave manner.

10,000 B.C. . .
Going for an epic movie always keeps me excited. After ‘Braveheart’ and ‘Gladiator’, ‘Lord Of the Rings’ enchanted me so much that it just need a tag of epic movie for me to watch any crap [am a Lord of the Rings fan, till the very last breath and can’t have enough of it no matter how many times I watch it]. And frankly speaking it’s an obsession about which I regret a lot, just because it takes me to a movie hall to watch crap stuff like ‘10,000 B.C.’
Vantage Point. . .
Telling a conventional story with different perspectives is not something new. But it is different and it is rare. So this very fact makes one curious to check out what the movie is all about. The Vantage Point narrative is about the attempted assassination of the president of US, and the same attempt is shown from five different perspectives.
Michael Clayton
The movie is nominated for the Oscars. Do I need to say anything more? I don’t know if it will be able to bag one or not? But I do know that this time again Clooney has scored a home run. Looks like this man is swore not to do anything wrong, when it comes to choosing a role and selecting a script. Continue reading “Michael Clayton”
