Seven Pounds directed by Gabriele is one of a intense emotional Drama set on One man's life and how his path to redemption totally effects the life of seven strangers in a great way with a positive note. Plot revolves around Ben Thomas ( Will smith ) a MIT Grad working for IRS ( Internal Revenue Service of  National Treasury ) who is haunted by a past and to heal himself , decides to help seven different strangers not connected with each other and  shows how far Ben goes to keep up his promise . Movie starts with a Phone call to  911 and sure below actual phone conversation would intensify the movie plot

911 Operator: 911 emergency...
Ben Thomas: I need an ambulance.
911 Operator: I have you at 9212 West Third Street in Los Angles.
Ben Thomas: That's room number 2.
911 Operator: What's the emergency?
Ben Thomas: There's been a suicide.
911 Operator: Who's the victim?
Ben Thomas: I am.

Yes , that's it , this is the call and you will definitely be surprised whats going on here. With keeping viewers guessing , the next shot takes you to Ben who is shown collecting audit details from National Treasury about few strangers. Later he tries contacting them one by one as a IRS Staff and that their income details been audited. Not just these , he also contacts other few people with total of seven strangers who are standing almost at edge of their life lost totally with no one to help.

In seven days, God created the world. And in seven seconds, I shattered mine ~ Ben

Starting with a young boy with cancer who is looking for a donor for bone marrow transplant , A Coach who has renel failure undergoing dialysis to survive , Emily Posa (Rosario Dawson) who has congenital heart failure needing a donor for heart transplant , Another lady with two children suggested by department of children safety n family services  whose life is made miserable by his boy friend with her no were to go locking herself in a house in slum , a Customer care employ Ezra Turner (Woody Harrelson) who is blind and two other people with Lung failure.Yes half way through the movie , one will almost get the complete path where the movie is heading too but how its presented to the viewers is what matters. Why Ben called 911 with a strange note , why did he want to help seven strangers so badly, What is that past which is tormenting him ? Is he really a IRS Staff or he is just using that image to reach out to people ? will all be answered in second half of the movie keeping you stalled at your seat. In process of helping all these strangers , Ben couldn't help himself falling in love with Emily Posa who is counting her last days and how he manages to be with her throughout her life is a emotional note directors take you through. Climax will be as one imagined but with mind-blowing sadness and tears on your eye's which  is not so uncommon with a plot like this and with a astonishing performance by Will smith. Sure the movie sends a strong message of how meaningful one life can be and how it can be worked in a way to assist many other life's who are desperately looking out for helping hand.

Gabriele has worked out a great magic with this movie and sure thing she couldn't have brought this out in flying colors without Will smith leading the role. He clearly made people realize that Birth and death is no mean , its what you do to others interim is all that matters. This movie will surely serve Will smith one of his all time best next to Pursuit of happiness which is again Gabriele's own work. Seven pounds is such a powerful and emotional script , a tear dropping and mind blowing experience brought together in a single package with one man show Mr.Will smith right from start to finish. Though there were some places logic's were missed , but who cares as the melancholic flow of this movie washes them away . Last fifteen minutes of the movie would bring you that much needed feelings in you and would crush your heart with no much pain , you couldn't help prevent  tears on corners of your eye's. Beautiful screenplay and a excellent BGM Throughout the movie especially " Its a new day its a new life " OST delivers that extra punch needed and its simply awesome.

[ You can listen to the soundtrack here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE96AIlLJ9Y ] .

FAM Punch Line : Seven pounds would definitely add a extra pound of emotional feeling to your heart and would stay with you in your mind forever.

Genre : Romance | Drama | Comedy

Our rating : 7/10

Director : Lasse Hallstrom

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen , What ? , That would be the question raising in most of viewers mind , but yes the movie lives up to the title chosen. Though said , its a absolute romantic comedy movie which includes , emotion , sacrifice , patience and more importantly commitment. The Movie totally revolves around five important characters , First a fisheries expert Dr. Alfred Jones (Ewan McGregor) , visionary Sheik Muhammad   (Amr Waked) , sheik’s assistant Harriet (Emily Blunt) , the press secretary for the British prime minister Patricia Maxwell ( Kristin Scott  ) and Harriet Boyfriend Capt. Robert Mayers  ( Tom Mison ) .

As name goes , plot is very much related. A  Visionary sheik  one of billionaire in Middle east  , would like to bread Salmon in a terrain Known for its hottest climatic condition " Yemen " and turn this Middle Eastern desert to a place Suitable for Sport fishing. Though he had a personal interest to it , his main motives are to bring the people in Yemen the much required resources to flourish their generation making the desert green and to get the attention of western world.So the sheik appoints his secretary Harriet to co-ordinate with Dr. Alfred Jones who is a well known fisheries expert.Initially Dr.Alfred thinks its a joke , an unachievable Herculean task to migrate salmon which cannot survive in a place like Yemen doesn't take much interest on it and hardly cares about this project.. He doesn't take the request from the sheik seriously till the time Patrica Secretary directly involves to this project , as a opportunity to distract the public from Middle Eastern conflicts and score political points for her boss who happen to be the British prime minister.One end Dr.Alfred personal life becomes a tragedy with wife who doesn't understand him much and one who is always on travel for she is working as  a reporter . So the gap between them widens up and their relationship slowly start to tremble. Patrica finds out that there are around a million of British voters who are either fishing sport enthusiasts or working as a fisherman. Considering the importance of their votes , she pressures Fred’s boss to force Dr.Alfred participation as she knows the he could drive the project to success.. So on the other hand , due to much political significance involved , pressure starts mounting from his immediate Boss to take up this project which at this point is only theoretically possible but practically a unachievable task. . With all these on the table , Dr Alfred either has to resign his current position in fisheries department or take up the project from start till finish..

Then comes Harriet into the picture , she starts working with Dr.Alfred closely to Kick-start the project. Though Dr.Alfred did not take this project whole heartily , gives a rough estimate of 50 million dollars first and later changes it to Pounds. Harriet takes that seriously , talks to sheik and next day the amount is transferred for the project which sends shock to Alfred and the Political people involved in this project  Such a Huge money involved and people , media start talking about this project seriously and every corners of the political house start to followup the story closely. Harriet sets up a meeting with Sheik and Dr.Alfred in one of his British Estates. That is when Dr.Alfred realizes sheiks vision towards this project , his confidence to make it happen and that he is a down to earth person. Dr.Alfred gets impressed by sheiks attitude and starts working on the project immediately. The first start would involve with migration of 10000 Salmon from British sea's to Yemen , so Dr.Alfred engages his immediate boss to take care of it and in-turn his boss reach out to Patrica for help. Adding to it , Sheik had already constructed a very big Dam which could irrigate the terrain and fill the canal with much needed water for fishing.. Everything was going on as planned till the day when a Uproar arises by British fishermen to drop the project as it could deplete the Salmon population in British sea's. As the situation intensifies , Patrica requests to drop the project or to use the Salomon fish from Farms which has no experience swimming upstream and might not help much with fishing as they tend to swim away from the stream towards the direction of flow.

Sheik is not much interested with the idea to bring in the Salmon from Farm drops the plan and Patrica is much disappointed with the decision and decides to drop the project. She also request Dr.alfred to stop working on this project or to resign. Dr.Alfred , who is much connected to Sheiks vision refuses the request and resigns from his current position. Harriet boyfriend is a soldier who is currently in Afghan fighting a war. One fine day she gets a news that his boyfriend Robert gone missing in the war and he is never been found. Harriet is totally shattered and broken as she realizes that Robert is missing for long and military officials are not giving a straight answer leaving her assume he might also be one of war casualties She locks herself in her apartment, mourns for loss of his life. Seeing her condition for many days , Dr.Alfred meets her up in apartment , consoles her , gives a supporting shoulder  and suggest her to travel with him to Yemen so which could help her in recovery. . They both later travels to Yemen to start working with Sheik personally and no more government head involved in it. As time run by and the project plans are going as expected , the relationship between Alfred and Harriet brightens up and Love slowly blooms between them. Its almost many weeks with  no news about Robert so far and one of TV Channels telecast the official military spokesperson press release that there were many casualties on the recent war and many are still missing , probably dead. In meantime , sheik decides to bring in the salmon through other source and stores in a closed well before it could be released to the canal waters. While the developments are of positive note , the local militants in Yemen doesn't like the project as it could bring westerners to their place which they never like. Sheik Muhammad doesn't take it through ears and proceeds with his plan on the project provoking their anger towards him. There were a murder attempt which Sheik survives with help of Dr.Alfred. The romance between Dr and Harriet develops which is very short lived when suddenly Robert re-enters the story. Will Sheik be able to bread the salmon as he wished resisting the attempts from militants , will he do the fishing in waters of Yemen , Will Harriet will go back to Robert or stay with Dr.Alfred will be the touching climax on this beautiful movie.

Lasse was excellent with his presentation and taking a non interesting topic as a script , bringing it to live which can be fed to the audience as a pure romantic treat with good fun quotients throughout. The cast especially the sheik and Dr.Alfred were awesome and did complete justice to the role they have taken. Am sure Lasse would have been a much satisfied director with his Team performance. Scenes involving the emotion and love between hariet and Dr Alfred when Robert return was excellent and also when Albert tell Robert that he loves Harriet was cool . Screenplay was good and hardly you would feel left out. A Vision and confidence makes impossible possible is the straight message delivered and especially when Sheik say “For a fisherman, the only virtues are patience, tolerance and humility,” was awesome.

FAM Punch Line : Its not a historic movie nor a virtually stunning one , but rather a touching story bringing different characters together to attain one common goal. Can be definitely watched once for a varied script brought to life by mesmerizing performance of Lasse's cast n Crew

Big Miracle is a engaging , slow paced animal-rescue movie based on True events occurred during 80's which created a sensational news during that time. Movie Plot  is about a rescue mission of three whales which got trapped between a thick layer of ice 5 miles offshore near a tiny town in Alaska. The whales couldn't go swimming to the open sea of 5 mile distance without the provision of open air or oxygen  which is not possible because the complete layer of sea bed got frozen and luckily the whales are still alive by breathing through few square meters of a small hole . Time is ticking and anytime the open hole might get closed up frozen leaving the whales to a tragic end. Adam Carlson a reporter covering a news in that town happens to discover this three whales and he immediately starts to cover the whale story realizing this could be a sensational story and could pick the Ratings of his channel. He uploads the video to his head quarters which immediately became a sensational news attracting everyone to this story. People start following the news seriously , its further development and Adams ex-girlfriend who is also a Greenpeace activist decide travels Alaska to help those whales and to give a helping hand to his boy friend . Though initially Adam started to cover this story for his advantage , later gets more involved and touched seeing the whales desperate condition to beat death.

The locals in the town used to harvest whales for their income and food , so initially  they resist and are not much interested nor involved in helping these whales . Almost hundreds of Media personal around the world reach the location to cover the live story and one of  rich oilman J. W. McGraw  took his chance to brand his company with his image as a  friendly environmentalist decide to invest on helicopters which could drag the Ice breaker ship through those dense ice. Seeing these developments around , the local Eskimos people Inuit Tribe decide to help and work along with others to free the whales . US Government also takes this chance for their election propaganda and they too start following closely on this news and a young White house spokesperson during President Ronald Reagan's administration was assigned to this issue for providing whatever assistance needed to save the whales. People leave all the differences behind , they unite together  start cutting holes through the ice using chainsaws so as to allow the whales take a breath while they swim towards to the shore. At the same time , the ice breaker is slowly making its way  from opposite end of the shore towards the place where the whales are trapped. Its been almost a week and the gruesome condition of Alaska already taken a toll on whales health and adding more injury to the pain ,  the ice breaker which was nearing the shore got struck up in a thick layer of ice and it couldn't more any further sending a shocking signal to all the people involved in the rescue.

Whole world stops for a while leaving the people thinking on what to do next to save the whales. Having tired all the possible methods and running out of  idea's further , people slowly lose their hope they had to save this innocent creatures struck to a life  or death situation in hands of mother nature. In meantime out of three whales , one of youngest drops its final breath as it couldn't withhold the freezing condition leaving the people more saddened and broken. While things are not going the way expected . a big twist occurs when  US President calls up Soviet union for help as they have a very big Ship Which is also a ice breaker traveling near to the scene. US and UK shaking hands , the ships starts to race towards the direction of the trapped whales while breaking all the ice blocks on its way. Finally after so much efforts with the help of the icebreaker and the strong will of people . they free up the whales leaving them freely swim towards the cleared up De-iced path .People could see the whales swimming away with a deep breath and everyone start to celebrate  the biggest rescue in history and many got more sentimentally bonded to the whales in fact they had named all the three whales in which Baam Baam name plays a major role. People leave the scene with a big sigh of relief , though they still mourn for young ones death.

Ken had really taken the concept well and given life to a forgotten historic incident  which is terrific , brave attempt and  is much appreciated. Movie is so engaging and keeps you to the edge of the seat as you start to get more connected to the story , emotionally tangled  to the giant creatures . Cinematography does deserve a great applause getting the story as close to the real events and making it happen . Movie had so many positive vibes and messages to take especially  the scenes when the tribal people start helping the whales and everyone from children in the area to the eldest person living there start giving a helping hand to dig the whole through
the 5 Mile distance which is never a easy task doing it under -30c climate. This movie evokes a powerful human feelings they have towards the living being through they use the same for harvesting. The End credits of the movie showing the real footage and pictures captured during the actual time was excellent and really gives that extra feel 'n' satisfaction watching a movie based on true events. Though at times , the screenplay slows up covering unwanted or say not much important topics it drags a bit and tests the patience of the viewers which could have been avoided or replaced with many other important coverage adding more details about the rescue attempts. But still that said , the movie stands out unique. Try reading the article pasted above to know more on the actual events occurred or fast forward your video file to the end credits to see the real footage of actual occurrence. This may  help you decide and will keep you engaged.

FAM Punch Line : if you are really ready to spend time watching a slow movie inspired from true events go for it.

Movie : Cabin in the woods ( 2012 )

Genre : Sci-fi | Thriller | Horror

Our Rating : 7/10


Cabin in the woods directed by Drew Goddard is a Sci fi thriller with a different touch. Plot is same old routine story where five friends ( Dana , Curt , Jules , Marty and Holden ) travel to a isolated land in a forest few miles drive from the city to spend their summer in Curt's Cousin owned Cabin without even realizing the horrific events which are gonna come by next. They party , the drink and they have fun and things go smoothly until they discover a basement filled with so many artifacts and strange things , pictures of human sacrifices dumped in there. They are terrified after visiting the basement and they have found a diary written by some girl in 90's with Latin inscription. , Though Marty refuse his friend not to read the Latin phrases , they continue to read the diary only to realize that they have woke up Zombies beneath the earth just like in Evil Dead. Then we know its same old fashioned kill , zombies break-into house and start killing one by one.

With all these events happening simultaneously , director gives a twist that everything whatever is happening been covered live as a reality show by group of scientists who are continuously monitoring these five people from many thousand feet below the cabin just like in Resident evil. They control everything happening in the woods and the cabin. They have hundreds of employees working there were each taking care of specific functions like Chemical department , maintenance department etc.. !! We might say wow..whats going on in there. Is this some joke going around and why would people love to watch the people in cabin being killed and you would feel as if you are watching Hostel movie. There is no way out of that place as all the entrance to the land been trapped and sealed by the scientist who are working below. Things would go confusing and only Marty , Dana alone survive these attempts. Director gives another big twist that the killings need to be real and the scientist who work there are no psychopaths rather they want to give a ritual sacrifice of Five young people to keep the Dark matter and ancient evil gods to keep them below the earth. These sacrifice are seems must to keep them under and protect the earth from them. Dana and marthy while trying to escape from the zombies find way to a graveyard which is connected to a lift which travels deep down the earth to the place where the scientists work and manage the system above. As no way around the woods to escape , they decide to travel in the same lift in which zombies are been sent to the surface to kill them. While they travel , they discover that its not just Zombies , they have so many other evil spirits , ghosts , killers , ware-wolfs etc etc looked down below in different chambers and that they themselves unknowingly made their own choise on how they should die when they choose to read the zombie diary instead of other things lying on the basement.

Scientists track them on their monitoring camera and they send a army of security guards to get them alive. Dana and Marthy somehow found their way out of that lift , but to see themselves been surrounded by armed guards . As no where to go , they hide up inside a Bullet proof control room nearby , which the guards notice and start to fire at the control room. Dana turns off all the switches in the control room to unlock all the dark elements and evil spirits out of their locked chambers. Things gets totally messed up when these locked up creatures start killing up the guards and its total blood bath gruesome violence and killing from then on. From the control room , they both travel further down in a safe passage which leads them to a secret chamber with ancient drawings on the walls. That is when they realize they are chosen one and that they are needed to complete the ritual as it needs a whore , a athlete , a scholar , a fool and a virgin. Three are already dead and only the fool ( Marthy ) and Virgin ( Dana ) are still alive. The killing should be in a correct sequence and that the fool needs to be scarified before the virgin death . If this doesn't happen correctly , the ritual will remain incomplete. They killings should happen before sun rise which is just going to be in another 8 minutes. Marthy and dana decide to kill themselves at one point for the sake of humanity but later they drop the idea just so to give equal chance to all humanity to share the pain and suffering as they made them to go through all this . Its now Sun rise and earth shatters , the underground structure collapses and something very big with a gaint hand pops out of the center of earth and director ends the closing shot there..

Drew goddard did a perfect job and he devised the script very well at-least for the first half. Initial thirty minutes were really chilling and you would think as if expecting some alien movie out of it. But instead we are let down and all we see is yet another zombie movie .The later part is filled with ware-wolf ,zombies and all other creatures in recent horror films coming live and killing the people beneath the earth. At first it may look creepy but later you would laugh it out as its nor more trilling and horrifying. Picturization was cool with some nice closeup shots and CG works at some places were excellent. But screenplay is a real let down atleast at the later half. Saying that its never a bad attempt from the director and it can be definitely be watched once , unless if you are not a zombie liker.

FAM Punch Line : Same routine movie with five friends in woods and zombies killing spree . Expected more , Outcome is less. But that said its a decent thriller movie released in recent time , which definitely deserves a one time watch

Movie : The Song of Sparrows ( 2008 ) Iranian

Genre : Classic | Drama

Director :  Majid Majidi ( Director of Children of Heaven and the willow tree )

Our rating : 9.5 /10

The Song of sparrows is just so amazing movie depicting journey of One man's life and is beautifully crafted scene by scene. Script is not so complicated and plot is so imple portraying a common man

life , people surrounding him and problems he goes through in his personal life. Movie is about Karim who works as a Care taker at a Ostrich Farm. Karim lives with his wife , two  daughters and a young son in a small house on a village near tehran. One fine day , a ostrich escapes from the farm , despite several attempts he couldn't get the ostrich back and is lost for ever. Being responsible for this incident , his boss fires him from the job , dejected returns back to his family as a lost soul. One fine morning , karim decides to travel in his old bike to the Tehran city  for repairing his elder daughter Hearing aid. While in Tehran , people mistake him as a ferry ride motorcycle taxi driver decide to request karim for a drop in his bike. Karim later realizes that this is a good earning job ferrying people around the city .Taking this opportunity in hand ,  he starts to gain handful of money. During one of his day in Tehran he happens to come across a building site during one of his drop and see's lot of trashes and iron goods been thrown at the backyard. Karim decides to take some from the junkyard everyday like old antenna's , window frames , doors etc to his home when he returns back to his village in evening. The village he lives in has only few countable house here and there survived by karim's relatives. They share and they stay together as one large family though they live apart in separate house.

In meantime his young son along with children's in the area decide to cleanup a abandoned  sludge-filled water storage and refill with good water for starting up a fish farm.The children part in this feature film is so touching , real and cool. They add more freshness to the movie and their attempt to start the fish farm regardless of many hurdles they face is pure class. Karim starts to earn more money then he got while working in ostrich farm. How a common man life slowly changes when he starts seeing some money in his pocket and how his attitude towards his life as a honest man changes slowly  is clearly shown as movie progresses . He starts to quarrel with children's , he doesn't share anymore goodness with his neighbors , he looses temper and he is no more of how he was before.

Karim later meets up with accident while cleaning up his house and happen to broke his leg during this incident. He goes bed rest and he can no more move anywhere or go to work. So he stays full time in his house. That is when he realizes the love his wife 'n' children's  have on him and the care the neighbors 'n' relatives took  when he became immobile . Now karim repents himself for
everything he made others go through and his heart slowly gets purified. And end of the movie , one of his peers inform him that the ostrich which ran away came back herself to the farm. Karim is so relieved and he now feels a fresh air going through his lungs.He takes a deep breath with a big relief..There were so many stunning scene's in the movie , be it while the children's losing balance drop the tub containing fishes on the pavement and how they wipe the fishes to the nearby roadside water-flow canal seeing the fishes fighting for their life is a heart touching tear dropping scene and also when Karim wakes one morning to see a sparrow inside his house trying to escape out of the house which is completely sealed. Despite of his broken leg karim crawls to the door , opens it with great struggle to see the sparrow flinging away to the nearby tree's . It gives a great sigh of relief to karim sparing a bird and giving her a much needed freedom. The movie ends with a scene where karim with his broken leg , rides his bike back to the ostrich farm to see them and he emotionally connects with the birds in there.

Such a simple narration of the script subject to so many realistic scene's happen in a normal man's life ,especially the father son combo was so lovable , elegantly done and mind blowing .The Background score was simply the best and soothing to ears. You would definitely be lost in such a beautifully screen-played movie and you will never knew its 90 minutes over and that you are there almost at end of the film. Wish the movie had additional one hour of play showing the children's starting up the fish farm successfully , his daughter get back her hearing aid and karim gets back his old job in ostrich farm. But directors leave us guessing and is compelling , self explanatory as movie is not so complicated. The location were film was shot  was awesome and hats off to the cinematography work brilliantly done , a definite virtual treat to the audience . Very few directors can show the movies in a realistic way stands unique with its screenplay. In that regards Director majid has done exceptionally well. Its definitely a mesmerizing movie one should ever miss watching it.

FAM Punch Line :  Iranian movies always sets a high standard to this film world where they prove every-time that its not the cast or the advanced film elements like CG works that matters , but rather a good script in a hands of good director can bring a lot . This movie will definitely be the one and  will serve you as a inspiration to watch other iranian movies. Have Fun watching

Genre : Adventure | Drama

Director : Akira Kurosawa

Our rating : 9.5/10

Dersu Uzala is definitely a Perfect Adventure Classic Movie well sculpted by the master hands Akira Kurosawa and stands out one of Epic movie of all time. Movie plot is about a Russian Explorer Arseniev who along with few crew members been sent to Siberian desert ( 1902 ) by Russion military for a surveying expedition on areas around the place near to Lake Kansha. Its one of the toughest terrain in the area and he or crew knew very little about it. There he comes across a strange short looking homeless Orphaned Goldi tribe hunter who is none other then Dersu Uzala. The captain and the crew provide Dersu shelter and food for that night and the next day dersu decides to guide them for their expedition and decides to travel along with the crew. Derzu knows in and out of the terrain and he hows how to read nature , predict things correctly and decide on the route they should take. Initially the crew look Dersu as a Funny human being but later they start to realize how great he is as a person with a good soul and as a excellent hunter. In many occasion Dersu had saved Arseneiv from the clutches of death. For dersu , helping one another is must to live in a forest but for Arseniev , derszu's life saying hand had a deep impact on him and he gets emotionally attached to his friend Dersu. They travel through tough situation , in different climate conditions with nature's angry face against them be it Ice , Water , Air , Fire or the animals in the forest , they surpass them with the guidance of Dersu. Then along the end of expedition , arseniev invites Dersu to travel with him to the city and to stay with him for ever. But as a man of forest and child of nature he doesn't wanna leave the forest and with a saddened heart ,they part their ways and dersu continuous his hunting journey and Arseniev bids farewell to his friend .

Many years pass by and its 1907 Arseniev takes up another Surveying adventure with a new crew. He moves through the forest every day expecting to meet his Old friend Derzsu and finally he does. The scenes gets too touchy as if you are meeting up a childhood friends after many long years. They share drinks , they sing along and the duo friends decide to travel along on this new adventure. It was all good for Arseniev as if he got his life back with his close friend near by , but things take a wild turn when Dersu partially looses his eye sight and that he is no more capable of Hunting and surfing , guiding the crew through the forest. Dersu is totally shattered and broken for he cannot no more live a life of a hunter and his life been paused. Arseniev decides to take Dersu to his home this time no matter what.

Then few months go by and derzu is now in a city where there is no more Hills or terrain to navigate through , where human souls are self arrested within a four walls covered wooden box called house , where rifle shooting is banned and constructing tents outdoor is banned , where people live by rules and where Fire wood and water doesn't come for free . Dersu is not comfortable for this city life and he is not accustomed to it. He wants to be in a place where there is no rules , nothing money could buy and where one can life alife of their own. So begs his close friend to send him back to the same forest. Arseniev understanding his friend feeling decides to send him back.

Arseniev doesn't waste any time and travels to the place. He sees the undertaker digging the burial hole and that the dead body face is covered with a cloth. Arseniev was not able to remove the cloth to see the face where he couldn't see his friend Dersu lying there breathless. Later police help to remove the cover and that's it , its all silence for few minutes and arseniev expression would talk the scene with no dialogues further. . Later he comes to know that the someone had killed him for the valuable rifle dersu was holding.He is broken and depressed one being loosing his close friend and second for being a cause of his death indirectly and movies closes up with a sad touching note . Its no surprise AK had you there with tears in your eye which even you wouldn't have realized.You would be so involved that it would take few minutes for the audience to realize that Dersu is a movie character and that you are not Arseniev.

Akira Kurosawa has done wonders in this film. He had brought the essence of pure acting from his cast and crew. He also played a naturalist and a environmentalist , while walking through the film he does pinpoint many areas of current issues like deforestation , killing of animals for skins etc packed as a movie with strong message to the people... A definite pure class movie portraying a sentimental bond between two friends and a true adventure movie makes you feel as if you are traveling along with them This movie would be definite virtual treat with those brilliant tracking shots and landscape views on different climatic conditions.. From fine wide angle landscapes to brilliant use of light, colors and shades this movie cinematography is top notch. Dersu as a simple kind calm man , would touch our hearts and will def decomes a unforgettable character far this will sustain as one of my best characters came across in movie world. A must watch for film freaks especially for those who love adventure films

As a child, Cho-Won regularly threw tantrums, bit himself, and refused to communicate with others -- finding solace only in zebras and the Korean snack, Chocopie. His mother never gave up on him and was determined to prove to the world that her child can be normal. As Cho-Won gets older, he begins to find a passion for running and his mother is there to encourage and support him. Even though both Mother and Cho-Won suffer from family and financial issues, they find a former marathon champion -- now a lethargic old man with alcohol problems.

             The old man, who is serving community service hours as a physical education teacher for a DUI, grudgingly accepts the offer to train Cho-Won in marathon running, but eventually becomes lazy with him. The teacher often takes Cho-Won's snack, and takes Cho-Won to a Steam House to relax. Even though the old marathoner slacks off most of the time, Cho-Won's determination for running is firm (he accidentally runs 100 laps around a soccer field when the teacher told him to without literally meaning it).

            He takes third place in a 10km running race, which causes his mother to set another goal for her son: to run a full marathon under three hours. This is not an easy task, however, as Cho-Won wants to win but doesn’t know how to pace himself. Therefore, his mother finds a former marathon runner, who must perform 200 hours of community service for a DUI, as Cho-Won’s coach. The movie shows the emotional struggles of a Mother who is not sure if she is forcing her son to run or if it truly is his passion. The movie further explores and shows the deep love and genuine purity through Cho-Won.

Movie : Blue Valentine ( 2010 )

Genre : Romance | Drama

Our Rating : 7.5/10


Blue Valentine 2010 by Derek Cianfrance .A drama depiction on how love fades through the life as days pass...the spark that misses to keep Love alive....a movie which resembles today's fast pace life where broken relationships are much faster than romantic proposals. Screenplay was so good and feels real....Dean (Ryan Gosling) and Cindy (Michelle Williams) have done a brilliant portrayal of the characters......I loved the Kid in the movie...her voice did d magic.A Good drama on Love , Romance , relationship , Emotion and Feelings.

Plot : Dean Pereira and Cindy Heller Pereira are a young, working class married couple - Dean currently working as a painter, and Cindy working as a nurse in a medical clinic - with a young daughter named Frankie. Despite their relatively tender ages, they are both ravaged by the life they've eked out together and by the experiences they've had leading into their marriage. Dean, a high school drop out, comes from a broken home, where he never really had a mother figure. He never saw himself getting married or having a family despite falling in love at first sight with Cindy. He doesn't have any professional ambition beyond his current work - which he enjoys since he feels he can knock off a beer at 8 o'clock in the morning without it affecting his work - although Cindy believes he has so much more potential in life. Cindy also comes from a dysfunctional family, with her own mother and father not setting an example of a harmonious married or family life


FAM Punch Line : Overall a Romantic Movie touching you deep down the heart raising lots of unanswered question within you

Movie : Maalai Pozhuthin Mayakathiley ( 2012 )

Genre : Romance | Drama

Our Rating : 6.5/10

The starting scenes shows how the sentiments & astrology play a important part and create an impact in an Asst. directors’ life. Let’s leave that alone. The movie fully revolves in a coffee day. I think the director of the movie loves coffee shop or he got the movie theme in a coffee shop. Only he knows.
Coming back to the story, the movie revolves around three main stories, and two sub stories whom are there in the coffee shop. First and mainly Hero and Heroine track, then a family, and the coffee shop owner. Coming to the hero and heroine, hero is in trouble and he wants to repay an amount of 3 lakh in a short time which he spends on taking a promo song. He runs to hide and got in to coffee shop where he sees the heroine. Heroine is one of a person who does not believe in Love and Hero is a kind of person who believes in love at first sight. So, as you all know he falls in love with heroine. During a conversation, he founds that it was her birthday. So, he arranges for a cake and celebrates her birthday with all the people in the café. He tries to gain the attention of Heroine and somehow got succeeded in it.

The second story is the couple, whose was a love marriage. Somehow their married life was not going smooth. Her complaint is he is not giving attention and does not love her so much. His complaint is why she is always fighting with him for silly/useless reasons. The coffee shop owner played a role of counselor in this part. His logic is somehow agreeable. “When we forgive us for all the mistakes that we do to others, then why we are not forgiving others for their mistakes”.

The third story is about the coffee shop owner. Since the business was not up to the expectation (no business at all) he is in need of money to run the business and all the places where he asked for loan got rejected. So, he was in a dilemma of how to run the business.

The first sub story is about a writer, who does not even open a WinWord in his computer. All he does is just right click and do refresh. (That’s what they show).

The second sub story is about the two staffs in coffee shop. They are the relaxation point in this movie. One guy is working there just to impress the girls coming to the coffee shop and the other is working there for his bread and butter. I liked one the dialogue between them. “When life is not taking us serious, why we want to take the life as serious?”

When the story was going bit smooth, there comes a person who helps the hero to propose (indirectly) to heroine. Once he left, heroine blasts (in words) hero and leaves the coffee shop. But while she moves out, she feels that she is missing something and feels something different. So, that’s the end of the story. See the remaining in theatre.


My Fav dialogue between hero (M) and heroine (F):

F: you are hitting on me? Five minutes, five minutes I should not speak to you frankly? Love? Marriage? You guys can never think straight right? I never knew you are also one of them?
M: Ponnugala sight adicha thaanga paiyan. Adikka venamnnu neenga sollalam, aana nadakuthey. Neenga thittunga, thittunga.My verdict: you can watch it once, when you are going to a theatre with a blank mind.


FAM Punch Line : you can watch it once, when you are going to a theatre with a blank mind and no expectation.Just relax and enzoi

Movie : Suzhal (2012) (tamil)

Genre : thriller | drama

Our Rating : 4/10

Plot : A normal poor boy who has his own world of family & loveable friends turns upside down when he enters in to a mafia gang as a trump card to score some money for his freinds major operation treatment. .

First thing to convince and prepare ourselves from chaos even after the films 'athul kulkarni'. .
Such an brilliant face expresions & he lifts the film n soaring areas. .
may congrats d director for intentionaly put a line b/w 1st & 2nd half. .
The above serves a normal joyful days of hero & the later part takes as a serious thriller. .
But the screenplay fails to impress as it has lot of continuity flaws & logic errors. .the game show of 2nd half was inspired from hollywoodd style, but admirable. .
New face starrers were lack of acting & the ace actors 'prathap bothan' & 'nizhalgal ravi' did theirs best inspite of their present n vry few scenes. .
Songs were not a pleasent kind but BGM serves quite awesome n some scenes, especially in 2nd half. .
the comes a twist in the tale at climax which was unpredictable. .

FAM's punch : Below average low budget movie. .less impressive things & worst screen play. Try it at your will when you have no other films to watch.

A same old heroism,comedy story. .each & every frame was a 'template' kind & failed to impress. . while the story is old,one should relay on screenplay. .here,director denied to put a satisfactory screenplay for the viewers. .music & BGM is were quite low to admire. .because of weak screenplay,the usage of ace actor 'prabhu & paandiyarajan' wasted a lot. . Sandhanam too impressed low but scores a lot in some scenes. .
My hearty wishes to the director for ripe off the 'land mine' scene from 'Behind the enemy lines'.
