Yesterday was a double bonanza day as we got tickets to watch a movie in newly opened Satyam Cinemas 8 screen Multiplex names Escape at Express Avenue. I’ve a seperate blog to write about the cinemas as a line is not sufficient for them.

When I got the ticket I was a bit disappointed because I’m not fond of Horror movies. But after watching the movie I got thrilled with the way movie runs. I wonder how hollywood directors are so much perfect when it comes to film making.

Movie starts with a Female lead who suffers from overcoming her abortion and alcoholism because of that. She decides to adopt an Orphan to fullfill the wish of her young deaf & dumb daughter.

The couple adopts a 9 year old girl as their daughter and from then their misery starts. The new adopted daughter separates the couples, tries to kill her new siblings, but stays close with her father.

In the end we come to know that the young girl is not a child but a 34 year women who suffers from a disorder. She thrives for lust and gets mentally upset in people seeing her as a child.

Over all it is a well narrated movie and a must see one.

Today went to watch the Movie Grownups. I’m not a fan of Adam Sandler, in fact i really hate him. But the trailer of the movie really carried me. Ann there is the the Salma Hayak factor. So, i had no reason to stop going for this movie.

I really have no words to talk about the movie. It is hilarious comedy from the beginning to the end. No even a single frame went boring. Though many of the jokes were rude there is no complains from my end as I didn’t have a kid to take.

The movie starts with the news of a Basketball coach’s death and the only  championship team created by the coach reunites for the funeral.

After 32 years a lot would have changed. Friends decides to go for a vacation with their family. Though their spouse takes to arjust with the new environment they all finally join together to give a wonderful picnic experience.

It is a must watch movie not once but a couple of times.

What can i tell about this movie. It has a huge Super start cast like Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Steve Austin, Bruce Willis & Arnold Schwarzenegger in a small cameo.

I’m a hardcore fan of Stallone and this movie was a in the must watch list of mine. Also it is special when the icon has directed the movie himself. I’m happy to see my here coming back strong and even at the age of 64 he has a good built.

It is really hard to coordinate such a huge star-cast and if one can read about the way things were built one can understand how such a team was evolved.

Coming back to the movie it is a full loaded action movie. Though the movie’s screenplay was so quick. But i didn’t see any substance in the movie. It is a a typical stereo type movie where a team of leads killing thousands of a country’s army.

The movie is a must watch movie to see stunning action scenes.

If there would have been a religion called Rajiniism then the entire Tamil Speaking pollution would have been following that religion. Our thalaivar can be humble to tell that the movie would become a hit because it is a Aishwarya Rai – Shankar – Kalanidhi Maran – A.R.Rehman combination. But we are not bothered about the combination but we love it because it is a Rajini movie. One thing what I get upset is every time our icon degrades himself to praise other people. He has to realize that we are only getting irritated. Otherwise we are looking for the movie.

Already Buzz has started to come rounds. Social Media is full of the music launch, trailer videos & song reviews. Also the when I went to Satyam Cinemas we were startled to see Jumbo Coke cups to be of Enthiran’s.

With all this buzz and hype I cant resist to know the release date and we have lots of plans for the occasion.

Watched SALT last weekend and enjoyed the movie a lot. Though I’m not a Fan of Angelina Jolie I went ahead and watched the movie because of the the Buzz created by the Trailers & I loved the trailers and I was waiting for long for the release of the movie.

A Small Synopsis

Russian Spy Agency trains a bunch of Kids (between the age of 10 – 12) & immigrate them to US and make them join different American security Agencies. One of the SPY is Evelyn SALT(Angelina Jolie) & her boss is also a Russian Agent which is revealed only in the climax.

SALT completes her accomplished task and on going back she reaches a place where she finds all her childhood friends who were trained along with her. There she finds her husband being killed. She retaliates by killing everyone there.

Then she is taken to Kill the American President & when she nears to the President her American Agency Boss kills everyone & that is when he explains how he pushed for SALT to kill the president & other Russian Agents so that he can get a good name.

Finally Salt Kills her boss & gets arrested. While air-lifting her she explains things to FBI agent and he releases her hand cuffs & allows her to jump from the helicopter asking her to clean other agents too. Then we see SALT running through the woods & there ends the movie.

Movie has a good screenplay with lots of suspense & it is action packed. I’d give a thumbs up for the movie.

Day before yesterday had dinner with my friends and they said the movie MILAGA was good. After dinner I straight went to Meenakshi Bazaar to buy the CD and then came back to office and worked till 12.30 AM…

After reaching home found Kannan watching Ravanan for second time… Immediately stopped him and I started watching the movie… To my surprise;

• The movie was on the lines of Madurai Sambavam but this movie is a comedy one. I felt bad that I missed watching the movie in Madurai theatre as it is a movie based on the city.
• Screenplay is too fast and not even a single scene were boring.
• There is no tragedy & that makes the movie worth a watch.
• Characters & team are from same as Mayandi Kudumbathar & Koripalayam.
• Most comedy scenes were hilarious & even otherwise it was not boring.
• Hero Natraj has done a good job. He is natural when it comes to acting, comedy & stunt.
• Over all it was worth watch movie. Not sure why movie went unnoticed.

Long back when Vinayakudu was running at Satyam Cinemas I missed watching the movie on theatres. I read a lot about the movie’s review. For some reason I forgot about the movie.

After a nice sleep yesterday & a long nap by evening made me fresh & after spending some time Major & after some mobile blogging, I decided to watch this movie in my DVD.

• The movie was very natural & I never had any break in-between.
• There were lot of connect with characters for the urban audience. • Hero has really rocked & he gels well with his character.
• Also must mention about the background score. Which is another boost to the movie.

I heard the movie’s Village to Vinayakudu is a flop. But will definitely watch that movie.

Got to get old of an old friend with whom i’ve lot of stakes. Since its been a long while i wanted to catch hold of him and understand how he is going to reply my debts. So, we decided to have a long discussion and we went to Ampa Skywalk & there we decided to goto Milenge Milenge. There is nothing special about the movie and we must accept that this is a 6 year old movie. So, this is my review;

• Movie reminds me of Tamil movies of the 90′s and it was not bollyhoodish.
• It is not Kaminey Shahid or a Size Zero Kareena. So, it is hard to accept a lean Shahid & a chubby Kareena.
• Movie is too dragging & predictable.
• In spite it is not boring either. Movie runs fast & i’ve the title humming every where.
• Overall it is worth the money and worth watching once.

What will be the effect when the heartrob of men & women join together. It is going to be a bang for the audience and so is the Camaroon Diaz & Tom Cruise starer Knight & Day. It has been a long time since i’ve been to my Sweet Mary sorry June (Diaz) movie. No words to talk about her energy & my heart explodes on seeing her every frame. Talking about the movie it is;

• A full-fledged Masala movie where Hero doesn’t have a down side. More on Vijaya Kanth sort. But it suits well for Tom.
• Comedy is hilarious.
• Camaroon Diaz has added the to glamour & the character June still lives in the mind.
• Very fast paced screenplay and not even a single scene looks boring.
• For sure it is a must watch movie for another time.

Watching such movies during the weekend is certainly going to make the entire week enjoyable.
