Just watch it.

Silambattam - Simabattam...... - A review.

Well, well, a simbu movie it was in the movie of the month in office. To be frank, simbu was not at any spot in my movie lists, except for say manmathan. And the talk was, the movie was ok, and the songs great. That was the information with which i entered the movie hall in sathyam.

By Far, the worst, by simbu that i had seen till date, that is what i can say, what he is not dancing to the songs too. Is that a hip hop kinda style which you are trying to adopt in the songs dude. Never mind, you had so many things missing. not something, so many things. I ain't no one who know dancing, but you didn't have nothing to make me move.

But hold on, the flashback part was good. Simbu was great there, the song, sung by ilayaraja was superb. Prabhu was majestic. wonderful on his part. The part where he comes in like BILLA, was superb, except for the fact that, he does not have the body to carry the grace which is required for that character. But i can think of it as a spoof of billa and laugh. and to say the truth, yes it was a laugh riot at that juncture of the movie.

That song, no wait it was not one but two songs, "Vachikkava unna mattum" and "Where is the party tonight". i couldn't make why they had to interrupt the movie for these songs. i couldn't see a reason why the songs were there in the first place. You can hear the songs, but don't take the trouble to watch em. It sucks, the moves suck. especially, Where is the party tonight, the dance sucks, the video sucks.

It is just the kind of movie you would watch if you are down too much.
Watch it for Simbu's performance as Thamizh, in the second half, the other guy, i think his name is raghav, the character which kills the cows in Thamizh's house. and Prabhu.

Aegan = Main Hoon Na!

To Miss Nayanthara,

You ain't no sushmita, to do justice to that role.

FMA - alchemy law of equivalent exchange

Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.

But the world isn't perfect, and the law is incomplete. Equivalent Exchange doesn't encompass everything that goes on here, but I still choose to believe in its principle, that all things do come at a price, that there's an ebb and a flow, a cycle, that the pain we went through, did have a reward, and that anyone who's determined and perseveres, will get something of value in return, even if it's not what they expected. I don't think of Equivalent Exchange as a law of the world anymore. I think of it as a promise, between my brother and me. A promise that someday, we'll see each other again.

God in Room no 305

அறை எண் 305ல் கடவுள் a.k.a God in Room no 305. we went to that movie on saturday. was a good movie. a new concept. and a good presentation. a must watch but, only one time watch. Prakashraj is as usual, good. Kanga Karuppu is handsome..

The message is clear.

Elfen Lied

Hmm, saw the final concluding chapters of Elfen Lied. was really nice. i loved it so much, it comes very much near to Full Metal Alchemist. But somewhere it doesn't reach the same heights as FMA. still this is a must watch. i saw it in both Japanese and English, couldn't make much in the Japanese version. If it is not for the nudity, i can watch it anytime. also some may be offended because of the gore violence in the anime, it is too gruesome, the first 15 minutes is really not for the light hearted or children. I don't want the small kids to watch blood shed like this...

But still, though it being such high in violence, it still gets into my must watch category....
may be, I'll put in my views on it a little later. i am tired to go on....

A classic - The Swan Princess

Its been a long time since i saw some great movies on tv. today i saw the swan princess, an animated classic. was so nice to see it after a long time....

By todays standards it wouldn't be any where in visual splendour, but still it was great story and it was great story telling. end of the day that is what matters not visual graphics and great music. they add value to the movie but they don't make great movies. a good story and the way it is told make them great and classic.

i bought Blue Streak and A Knight's Talk. classified as Action Comedy/Adventure. they too were good. i had already watched them many a time on tv, They are good......

hope i make one some day..........

LiVe fReE oR diE HArD..... Die Hard 4.0

 

At last the day and time arrived..  satish came to my house in his safari at around 5 pm,...  we reached there at nearly  5:30, it was just half hour drive,(actually there was no traffic...,  we went to the box office and collected our tickets which we had booked online...  Then still there was more than 0ne and a half hours left..  so we decided to take a tour of the City center.  Actually the Inox theaters were located inside the city center...  The theater was in the 3rd floor...  We then went another floor up and found the funzone...we entered ,,  satish wanted to play the car and bike games we went in and bought a card and went to play the bike one, which was similar to need for speed but in Most anted mode...  But when we swiped the card the system said that it was out of function..  the car games too said the same.. then we went to play the basketball, both of us taking alterante turns.  we scored 40 tickets each and went to claim our prizes...  i took a tweety hang up and he took one of the three pigs hang up.  then we headed to the theater.

 

The theater was cool.  real nice.  the stairs  had lighting on them with the seat rows in the light,  so finding the seat in darkness was never going to be a problem.  we got out selves some popcorn (it is not some actually a large tub) and two soft drinks for 150 bucks...  then the movie stated.  I don't want to say anything about the movie, go to the theater or buy yourself a DVD and watch it.  it is worth it.  i am just waiting for getting my hands on the DVD... 

Bruce Willis is old and the fight scenes have been done keeping that in mind.  But it is the same old john McClane.  man who can stop this one man.  The villain was never afraid of anything other than McClane in the film.  But unlike the other films in this one there is less rambling from John than in the past 3 films. 

It takes you back to the days of the original Die Hard and yes this film is really worth watching.  Bruce rox.   just make sure you have lots of popcorn and phones switched off and no ones gonna disturb u......

 

well... is there a fifth installment?  i wish they make it!...

Die Hard 4.0... An update....

Ok booked the tickets today afternoon.

Me and satishkumar are going to Inox on sunday to watch this film.

The show is at 7:15 pm...

this stupid guy (satish) was caught going thru the one way in the wrong direction and his license was taken away by the police.  He was asked to get it from the local municipal court on monday, so which means he can't legally ride a bike till he gets back his license.  so wat, who cares,  i don't care, we are going to Inox in a bike for the movie.. 

somebody stop us...(if u really dare.....)

Die Hard 4.0

Live Free or Die Hard..

He he, that is the tag line, which goes with the film...

Bruce wills comes back with the 4th installment of this film.  and i am gonna watch it this Sunday.  Satish is making arrangements for the tickets.  i am just waiting for Sunday..

waiting to see John McClane set the screen ablaze...  the first 3 were cool.

Die hArd

Apocalypto....... A Review...

 

Ok, another Mel Gibson film, so what?

well this was good, not like passion of the Christ, though...

this was a film based on some history and nearly half of the facts are right and half wrong...

The film begins with these lines..

A great civilization is not conquered from without until it is destroyed from within.     "

—W. Durant

Well to say the truth (considering this as a film and not something which depicts history sequences or anything like that.  Consider this just as a story ok..) Mel Gibson has done a fantastic thing in making this film.  The survival, the chase ( which i think) is the highlight of the movie and also the interesting part of the movie.  when the chase ends the movie is just 5 min's from ending..  The acting is good, and story ( i remind u, this i consider as just a story and not a historical depiction of the Mayan civilization) is good. 

you got to see the acting.  When Flint Sky(the hero's father), ( don't know the real name.  do a Google or check wikipedia) asks his son not to be afraid when he is executed in front of his son jaguar paw(the hero).  and also the scene when the seven (jaguar paw's wife) and turtles run ( jaguar paw's son) are left trapped in a small pit and a raider goes near it  to check his dead colleague.  ya got to see their expressions..  The human sacrifice scene and the scene when Jaguar Paw confronts Zero Wolf, the waterfall jump, everything is so beautiful...

Particularly the chase requires a special mention, coz the forest is the location where this happens (for the matter the entire film takes place in the forest..)  just keeps you at the edge of the seat...

A must see if u wanna see it just as a movie and nothing else....

 

The depiction of the Mayans is a bit too awe... i mean it doesn't seem real..  the human sacrifice practice, yes it existed in the civilization, but showing them as people obsessed with that practice it a bit too much....  Also it is shown as though the solar eclipse was unexpected,  but you see, the Mayans were very good in astrology and should have been expecting a eclipse instead of being surprised to see it happen, as depicted in the film...

well all said,  don't see this movie to learn about Mayan civilization..., don't see to believe that Mayans were like that... or for the matter of fact even the timing of the period when the movie takes place..   see it for Mel Gibson, see it for the acting, see it for story... see it for the human's clash.. human's behavior blah blah!!!..........

first time in a bar.......

Saturday i went to Mr, Suresh's house for troubleshooting his system.  wasn't a sweat though.  later when i was returning home, i was waiting for bus in madipakkam, there i met Jeyanthon.  He offered to drop me at home.

 

On the way he went to have drinks.  he took me to a bar.  this is the first time i am going to such a bar....  i mean the local bar... i have been to pubs and bars in many hotels but a bar like this one, this is the first.  I would like to remind u that i am not a drinker.  i just went in there to talk with him that's all.  Sitting in a bar is no offense i suppose.....  well it was interesting though.  the sight of it.(i tried to capture a pic with my mobile bu i was prevented).  the people there everything was interesting.   There was a guy singing, yes the way he sang was quite nice, but without music, but sure it was good, the words, the rhyming and the music that he produced by tapping and hitting the table was really nice....  and funny  too....   well that was it, after some hour and half, we left. he dropped me in my house and left.

 

Later yesterday (Sunday) i saw the movie Company, which was RGV(Ram Gopal Verma)  i had already seen this movie, still i wanted to see this.  it was so ...  i just don't know to express it, i was just lost in the movie.  i saw it for the 12th time yesterday.  it is about the underworld..   well then it was nothing more.    the joy ride ended with the movie. and i returned to my normal life...

Fedora 7 & Stunt GP

Yesterday the Fedora 7 download finished. now i got to go buy a dvd, burn the image onto it and proceed to install it. i think it is time i revamped the whole os thing in the system. might be good to do some reinstalling now, windows seems to be having some problems. so well i think i will be having some busy time with the system.

I don't know how much downtime i am gonna take, but rest assured after the reinstall everything would be perfect, except the imperfect windows. I just can't guarantee anything with that.

The movie was good on Friday. nothing great though. You just can't beat the good the bad the ugly or solo or memento or the usual suspects.

Well i think i will be getting a system today in office and which means no more sitting and chatting and gossiping, gotta read a lot.

well of i go now, will be back by evening to continue to system adventure.

Hey forgot to say, i finished downloading stunt gp also. the game was cool, bought back some old memories. games these days lack something which these games had.

unforgivens and the pirates of the carribean

the site unforgivens is going fine. except that it is difficult to find time to do things. so the project may slow down a bit, that doesn't mean that it is the end of it. ok.

the login, signin, guestbook have been completed. the forgot password has to be done and then the display details page has to be designed from the scratch. that is the status.

then we switched from odbc to ado.net connectivity coz of some connectivity issues, and are using database dumps instead of queries when data's are interchanged.

nothing more. the new company is cool. and wat else not started to work there yet. am yet to learn the work there. Tomorrow the entire team is going for Pirates of the Carribean : Worlds end. and am also going. lets have a blast.

mom and dad are not allowing to go out of house and stay elsewhere. wat to do. have to fight for everything.

well that pretty much sums up what i had done the past week. well tomorrow i'll come back to say the pirates of carribean story to you. see ya!

and Linux Fedora 7 is still downloading, see i am using the system only when i am home that is why the delay, well gtg now later!

Missed the movies, Sorry Julia

sorry julia, i missed all 3 of your films, though i did not completely miss them, i saw the first one, My Best Friend's Wedding till where you will call your friend to ask for help to win you guy back and he wil suggest you to go and tell him that you love him, and you will go to the shop where he will be testing his new dress and make a fool out of yourself. but i couldn't see more, see i had to go to attend a function, sorry babe, Next time i will not miss your movie. I promise.

For a Few Dollars more

The first screen of the movie, aptly sums wat the movie is all about. I thought u guys too can know tat.

When Life doesn't have any value,
Death Sometimes has a price.
That is when Bounty Killers came by........

nice lines, has something to say there too...!!

Clint Eastwood

yesterday, saw 2 movies of clint eastwood and his interview in pix.

The 2 movies were
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
For a Few Dollars More.
i did also see another movie the day b4 that. the one with Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek
Desperado
I have seen many movies, and also many western ones also.
ok desperado dosen't come under western, but the other two does, and they did make Clint Eastwood very famous, both were too cool. Great films to watch. I wish i could watch the first of the trilolgy, though they are not trilogy in anysense. they are the first 3 westerns of Clint Eastwood. that changed the way the westerns were seen back then.

The climax of Good Bad and Ugly was too good, the final piece when all three, the good, the bad and the ugly, stand as the apexes of a triangle with the name of a grave written in a stone which lies in the center. The tense and the shots, and the music, everything was really wonderfull to watch and hear. It was a treat.

I would just say one word WOW. better watch it if you can. real nice one.

Desperado was something different. it is a revenge story. but great action, man u gotta see banderas move with the gun. The film is based around a myth of the Guy with a Guitar Case full of guns. the action sequences and the music which accompanies are mind blowing. I would just go on and on and on if am to talk on favourite movies. I would better stop.

Next Week Sunday Pix is airing 3 movies of Julia Roberts. she is the most beautiful i have ever seen. Her smile is mesmerising. She is my favourite. i would do anything to watch her movies. I will plan something to watch it.
