Vettaikaran - 2009

The movie released near to Christmas 2009 and many Vijay fans was excited about it. I was not interested to watch Vijay's movie as his previous movie was a total turn-off for me. But some how, my friends (Vijay's fans) managed to influence me to watch the movie.

I end up watching the movie alone (my style, alone the better) 2 days before Christmas. I get out of the hall with just disappointed. I am not concluding that the movie was bad, but just that my have set my expectation higher and they failed me.

I prefer commercial Tamil movie to fulfill all aspects such as; family-touch, friendship, comedy, action, expenditure/spending, music, and famous-characters. The movie has all that but limited on certain things such as family-touch and comedy.

When I see his acting on the screen, I don't feel like I am being in the scene because his acting makes me feel that the camera exist in-between and Vijay is much interested on the camera itself. In plain, you can say this as "over-acting" whereas the actor is doing such thing merely for the camera and not because he is in the character.

Lets go to the bright side of the movie; famous-characters like Vijay and Anushka; good expenditure on the setups; and nice to listen songs. The dance of the songs was still not up to my expectation. Anushka was not utilized on the screen as she given not much of script to make me admire her. I only enjoyed her glamour-exposure rather than admire her character in the movie.

The only reason for the movie to be extremely rated high is; Sun Pictures!

They are bad. They own large entertainment network and therefore they advertised the movie pretty well, from TV Channels to Movie Magazines rating the movie as number 1 and making people fooled-out when word-of-mouth is weak. They rounded the movie as best in everything although the story plot itself was an average. Its again a young man want to be police but end up doing rowdyism to survive and protect others. Where is the "Niche" or unique-touch of the story be remain unique in your mind?

Rating:6/10 (could have been far better if story was unique)

Class: Action
Mood: Boring

Catchy Conclusions; police-ambition, rowdyism in town, become rowdy, protect others

2012 - 2009

My friend is the one forced me to follow him to cinema for this movie. I was not excited at beginning because I watched the trailer and it was not much expressive about the story. I also got confused with the movie "2012: Doomsday"

After watching the movie, I was totally freaked out. Either you guys believe it or not, Nostradamus has predicted the end of world (metal world) on December 21 2012. At the same time, Hinduism believes that the world will end when it is time for God to appear in real world. In another sense, it is known as Bhagavan Kalki avatar in Kali Yuga (metal world).

The myth do not say that everyone would die when it is end of the world. Instead, they predict that it is the end of Metal World but human beings will still remain although many would be killed. According to myth, at end of world, large wave (above 1000 feet) would flood into the cities and destroy most of the cities.

The movie did show that in visual that large wave flood into cities and kills everyone. But just before that, the reason for the wave was heat from the sun. They had arranged the logic well. And the plan for survival is totally agreeable!

The movie was total fun and excited was there all the time. I would have say the movie was total "shit" if they invented space ships as survival plan, but they did slap me back and say "we are smarter than u dumb!"

Rating: 10/10 (expensive movie, worth the time and money)
Class: Adventure
Mood: Excitement

Catchy Conclusions; flood, end of world, survival, new beginning

Fantastic Mr. Fox - 2009

Funny, funny, funny, an ordinary funny cartoon.

But the animation is not good enough to wow me. Its merely an average 3D animation with low frame rate.

I enjoyed the comedy well. And it was cute to watch on how they attack each other when the fox steal human's stuffs.

An interesting part of the jokes that I enjoyed most is the one the boy fox would be in chemistry lab and there would be girl fox as his lab partner. But the girl fox would be looking at the next table and admire the boy fox's cousin. It would irritate the boy fox and he will tell the girl fox 'u are my lab partner, remember?' Then girl fox would say 'yes i am.' Then the boy fox will say 'no, u r disloyal.' Hahaha, i think tat is a brilliant script. They used 'disloyal' instead of 'betray', and that is totally cool. They emphasized using simple terms for all the jokes and they also keep it short.

In general, this movie consist of day-to-day joke that an ordinary person could enjoy without the need of brain, duh, of course its a no-brainer movie cause it has talking-fox and other talking-animal! But, kick the logic, keep your brain aside and just enjoy the human-kinda-jokes...

Rating: 5/10 (rating low because Animation quality is disappointing)
Class: Animated
Mood: Comedy

Catchy Conclusions; comedy, talking-fox, funny, simple-jokes

Bandslam - 2009

Watched Bandslam 2009 recently and it was wonderful.

I seriously enjoyed the joke from the beginning until the end. Although the movie looks like lousy from poster and trailer, somehow it win my total attention when I was watching it.

I would suggest you guys to watch this movie too if you like "Grown-up kids" movies. Because the movie is all about teenagers and high-school music competition.

One of the comedy scene I enjoyed most in the movie is the kissing-tutorial scene whereas the super hot girl would teach and demo "how to kiss a girl" to the guy. But his mother would accidentally see it from the window. And the next day, the guy would apply what he learned into practical to his real girl friend. He would screwed up all the steps of "how-to-kiss" but at the end, he will give and receive the kiss he wanted. After-all, it just a way to tell; no right way to kiss a girl, just go ahead! She would receive it if she likes you, or you will receive something else in return (you name it!)

Overall, the movie was fun.
