Watched quite a lot of movies over this weekend in DVD/VCD and in theater also. Will write short notes on all the movies I watched.
Flightplan
Got the DVD of this movie from the local video store. Had seen a review of this in Sun TV's Hollywood show and was counting my lucky stars to the DVD which was greatly in demand (accrdng to video store guy).
Plot Outline (accrdng to IMDB): A claustrophobic, Hitchcockian thriller. A bereaved woman and her daughter are flying home from Berlin to America. At 30,000 feet the child vanishes and nobody admits she was ever on that plane.
Verdict: Well, if you have never seen how an Airbus/Boeing plane looks like, especially the jumbo ones, u got to watch this movie. Since I love anything that flies, I especially found this interesting. The movie's screenplay is brilliant and will keep you guessing as to whether Jodie Foster is a psychic or not.
Rating: 4/5
Mr Ya Miss
Another small budget movie from the Ram Gopal Verma stable. Thought of seeing it after seeing the promos in TV.
Plot Outline: A guy becomes a gal coz of a punishment from Lord Shiva/Parvathi. He (or should i say she) suffers a lot and understands the value of a woman.
Verdict: Got scared after this movie coz the hero's and my point of view about woman were the same! Oh lord Shiva, pls don't change me into a gal!! Antara Mali's acting was good, but irritating at times.
Rating: 1.5/5
Black (malayalam)
Ambalakkara Thetchikaavil pooram, avide 59 komban marude pooram... This song is a super duper hit in Kerala and is one of my favorites also. If you ask me, that's the only good thing about the movie!
Plot Outline: Mammooty is a gunda according to the first half of the movie, but then we are shown that he is in fact a police man with a negative trait. Gosh!
Verdict: The same old story that we have seen in 100s of films. To be precise, old wine in new bottle. Was a comeback vehicle for yesteryear actor Rehman. Watch it for the Ambalakkara song. And dear Mamooka, pls don't act in action movies, plzzz....
Rating: 2.5/5
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
I have never watched a horror movie, let it alone watch it in the middle of the night... I don't like horror movies, not because am a scare crow or anything, but.. just.. what to say... leave it.
Plot outline (accrdng to IMDB): A lawyer takes on a negligent homicide case involving a priest who performed an exorcism on a young girl.
Verdict: It scared the shit out of me man! Was even scared to drive back home from the theater, compounded with their version of horror stories from the 2 who accompanied me. Couldn't get a sleep!! Don't ever watch this movie if you are working in the night shift! Have decided not to go back home at 3 AM.... And am still getting the goose bumps!
Rating: 5/5 (just 4 giving me nightmares)
That pretty much outlines my movie review! If you want me to write more reviews, pls pay the ticket fee for me! ;-)

hey looks like u write good movie reviews. y cant u continue this a section in ur blog. and by the way hw do u plan to go home late night after the shift. i also have heard some stories that there is something on the way to patti,,,,, hehehehe
ReplyDeleteI have not seen Black, but most of my friends who had seen the movie had like it..and I do agree flightplan is a good movie.
ReplyDeleteI like the video clips on your blog, could you tell me how do you go about doing it.
Thanks for that comment anonymous... and double thanks for scaring an already scared soul!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Navin,
ReplyDeleteBlack is watchable, as I said, for that song and for some fast paced editing... Otherwise, it's the same sloppy movies that u see everyday...
U just need to click on the play option and wait for sometime... Once the video is loaded, it will just play fine..
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI actually wanted to know "how to place video clips on a blog? "
You should try watching Chandapottu..I didnt find the movie to be that great but Dilips acting is pretty good.
Hey RC,
ReplyDeleteur blog is becoming more and more interesting. even in my office, few people regularly visit ur blog. i think u can add one more movie name in that list. if u like thriller movie then Hide and Seek is a must see movie. it's a movie of MPD (multiple personality disorder). fantastic movie.
Hey Sude,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliments... will try harder to make it more interesting...
Looking at the way I was scared to death, I doubt if I will ever watch "Hide and Seek" if its of the same genre as that of "Exorcism of Emily Rose".... But MPD is something interesting... Let me go check out if the CD of Hike and Seek is available...
But, if anything happens to me after seeing it, you will be solely responsible ;-)
Hey navin,
ReplyDeleteI too watched Chandupottu... The movie "sucks"... I had to literally push myself out of the theater... Come on! We want to see Heroes doing fight scenes... not acting like gals ;-)
Hey RC,
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to see that Dileep's name in Chandupottu is Radha... Mole... Radhee
So, we can guess why the movie sucks you....
Dai Meesa Madhavaaa... Njan Aaaram Thamburanada... Chunayundengil neril vaa... Nee po mone dinesha :-)
ReplyDeleteAaaram Thamburan (He he he -- nice joke) is now suffering from Alzheimer disease. Pavaam tanmatra ...
ReplyDeleteNeeril njan vanirinnu, pakshe eyaale avide kandilla... Oodi raksha petto.. He he he
Mole Radhaeeeee....
