Batman 2 - The Dark Knight will blow you away.

It was a different type of Superhero movie. Usually our hero saves the world and along the way, we see his pretty workaholic girlfriend and some cool action sequences. The Dark Knight was more of a ‘masterpiece’ than a ‘Batman movie’.

The cinematography was fantastic. Gotham and Honk Kong looked stunningly dark and deep. With Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Heath Ledger, Michael Caine and Maggie Gyllenhaal around, rest assured that you’re set to watch a grand performance. It’s Tour de all-the-way-to-Oscars.

Some ohhh-ahhh Moments

You are sucked into the intense drama from the start. I thought the movie was more into the Drama Genre than Action. Nevertheless the action stuffs was edge-of-the-seat material and there was this 3 ohhh-ahhh moments:
1. Batmobile to BatPod and Batman-The Joker chase
2. Batman exit with Chin Han
3. Batman flying with the Bat-like wings. (makes Superman’s thing look like a towel)

Back from the screening of the movie and had a good time. I wanted to see a movie and was caught between Love Story 2050 and this one [Read about that].

Jaane Tu.. is a fun, bubbly, cute and a feel goodmovie. The movie has more highs than lows and I loved every minute.

The plot is your usual one where the boy and girl don’t realize that they’re in love till the end of the movie. The youth factor, great music, witty & comic dialogues, freshness scores heavily for the movie.

I wanted to see a movie and was caught between Love Story 2050 and Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.

Me thinks… Poppy Chops (Priyanka) is super hot. Equally good is Genelia. She might not have those Ponds cream killer looks but she’s bubbly and cute. Hmm. LS seems to have a story which can fuck you or interest you. The lame ass animations makes me thing again. Jaane Tu can be murky waters and I would need a disaster management assistance if I want to recover from the 210 mins of cheesy, run out of the mill, singing under trees, rain drenched actors boring us to death. Both are risky business.

Jaane Tu music is by the master - A R Rahman. The OST is amazing and I’ve heard all the heard more than 20 times in 2 days! Honestly LS songs didn’t seem good or maybe I didn’t listen enough. 1 up for Jaane Tu. Aamir Khan did a good job with the marketing and getting the buzz around the movie (almost as good as SRK did for Om Shanti Om). Team LS also did a fine but not as aggressively as their counterpart. Jaane tu did surely keep me interested. 2 -0 in favour of Jaane Tu.

Heard that preview show audiences liked Jaane Tu and booed LS. Ok, sealing the deal with Jaane Tu.

Jaane Tu review coming up within an hour…

Dasavatharam created a lot of hype and hoopla (Supreme Court had to vacate stay) before the release and now is doing well after 5 days of release.

Nevertheless, I didn’t like the movie.

A biological weapon of mass destruction is on loose and Kamal has to destroy it. For this we all 10 characters, CGIs, movie panning across USA, India and Japan.

Basically I can’t understand why a simple plot (if at all there was one) needs animation or 10 characters? Unnecessary fluff spoilt it, maybe without CGI, 10 characters and a tighter screenplay the movie might have been better. Never expected the movie this bad.

The movie was disastorous and I couldn’t sit through the entire movie.

Not a lot of movies interested me in the recent times like Dasavatharam.

Kamal Hassan’s Magnum opus, India’s costliest flick (Rs 165 Crore?) is due to release tomorrow.

If you’re a fan of good acting and interesting movies, you shouldn’t miss Dasavatharam. Kamal will sizzle in 10 different roles - never ever done before. Characters like George Bush and a NASA astronaut arouse your interest.

Some action scenes and the makeup looks stunning. Almost 80-90% of the movie involves graphics. It’s not all action but also romance & comedy. It’s a long time now that I’ve seen a Tamil movie in Cinemas so my expectations are high.

I read a lot.

I also happen to dream, irrespective of the time of the day.

While reading fictions, we tend to visualize the events as we read along.

Was reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, I noticed the events were not ‘moving’. That’s not usual. Movies (based on books) are like that. However ‘fast’ be the screenplay, I feel being stagnant. (Pssst: The Curious… is an amazing debut, laughed my ass off like crazy)

Movies spoils our creativity and imagination. Take Harry Potter. The Harry Potter I saw was totally different from what I had built in my mind. I have read each Harry Potter book atleast 5-7 times but I hardly like to watch the movie.

My Hogwarts was magical. Forbidden forest was creepier. Quidditch is the best sport ever (heart it more than F1 or Tennis). I was a Gryffindor student.

The only good in the movies was Emma.

Just returned from Akbar’s Court, Agra this morning.

Saw Jodhaa Akbar- a short biography of Akbar and I’m impressed.

Amazing movie! I loved the every 202 minutes I spend this morning.

Would you believe that the movie received standing ovation at the end and taliyan here and there!
