We were Soldiers ( 2002 ) :-

My ooh My....God Damn..this is one hell of a War movie which i never ever imagined that it would be this good and inspiring..!! Based on true incidents happened in Vietnam and showing the Bravery of Lt. Col. Hal Moore against the Vietnamese Guerrilla Attack. Being a big time Mel G fan. damn not sure how i missed this movie as its one hell of a direction and camera work top notch. Bullets every where..Copters howling here and there...its just chilling and Goosebumps all through the movie seeing Lt. Col. Hal Moore ( Mel G ) , Sgt. Maj. Basil Plumley ( Sam elliott) and Joe Galloway ( Bary pepper ) performing excellently well in this movie. Brutal atrocities of war and Blood behind every win is clearly depicted in this movie and i would say this is one best war movie i seen recently..not sure why it was not talked much or underrated , but still this would remain as my top fav of Mel G next to patriot , Brave heart and Payback.Background music was ok and the OST was sick and i didn't like it much. Posted the link below.But keeping that aside..this is a must watch movie guys...!!

The Wolverine ( 2013 ) - Hollywood made Japanese Version of Wolverine

This movie has no relation to any of its predecessor and feels very new as if this is the Origin. James Mangold not sure his obsession over Japanese soil but this movie is totally made out from this Land of rising Red Sun. Storyline in short is " Past help,Present betrayal" . First time ever , we see Logan (a) Wolverine at receiving end while he is beaten as hell throughout the movie . He is weak, pain , prone for attacks, Bleeds . mentally ill and his self healing tendency is shaken a bit but still he leads the movie forward , emerges as that man in steel as we always seen him before. Though the plot somewhat relates to his self healing property while someone trying to steal his powers to become immortal.

This is the first time ever we knew that wolverine powers can be transfused and passed on , If this was known i am sure many would have tried it long back on previous episodes but was something new. The script was made confusing so much and actually it was not needed at all as at one point it will make us feel like who is trying to kill whom. Yukio - Ms.bodyguard of Wolverine , thats how she calls herself has no real need in this film and was induced for no purpose , still she remains there with wolverine till the end as a supporting role justifying herself helping wolverine at every turn and rest all cast was just placed here & there as Sudoku. We also tend to see Viper, samurai's , Silver samurai characters in this film making it a bit crisp but not totally appetizing. Its just our Wolverine who is the only eye catcher in this movie and be it action scenes while saving Mariko in funeral , or saving her grandfather from a nuclear attack at Nagasaki . Bar fight for killing a bear or the final fight with Silver samurai are just fascinating and stunning. Not many scenes were made in 3D and i dont see a real purpose of it in this movie , feels a 2D version would be much better to look for. This is a pure solo performance of Wolverine in this movie and if you are one who is Mad fan of Wolverine can sure have a virtual treat. Rest for other normal viewers this will be just another average flick with a bit draggy screenplay in middle. Not bad, sure watchable once for Hugh Jackmans performance and dedication , hard work he put on for this film. If you want to visit Japan via a movie , Wolverine will be a easy ticket. 

Anna'yum Rasool'um - My Own Indian version of " IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE ".

அன்னாயும் ரசூலும் என்ன் மனதை கொள்ளை ஆதித்த காதல் காவியம். இதை நான் பார்த்தேன் என்று சொல்லுவதை விட ரசித்தேன் என்று தான் சொல்லுவேன். அன்னவீண் கதாபாத்திரம் என்ன் மனதில் ஆழமாக படிந்து விட்டது. நான் பார்த்த பல மொழி படத்துலெய் இது என்னோட சிறந்த படம் என்று தான் சொல்வேன்.

I must say this is one of a beautifully scripted movie which given me a pleasant voyage through the Lush green gods own country with beautiful back-waters and god damn stunning visuals throughout the movie. This is a pure guaranteed worth enjoyable film , a feel good movie absorbing all our emotions to it by seeing the tender love between two charming characters Anna ( Andrea Jeremiah ) and Rasool ( Fahadh Faasil ) who make us feel they are just made for each other. Movie starts with a simple narrative style shot with Rasool friend Ashley ( Sunny Wayne ) narrating his life events and how he played a important role in his friend Rasools Love Life. I must admit that i liked Ashley character more then any for his pivoted role he plays throughout the movie and he stands a example for friendship too . There are so many breath defining scenes all through the movie but what comes immediately to my mind is when Rasool first see Anna at church under a candle light is just stunning and when Andrea Shy away when rasool ask her to stay a minute more before she steps into her office is damn cool. But that said , every scene and every frame was beautifully made handwoven and carefully handled through.

Story might be a very common one which we always seen on many films like love between two different caste , opposition , family , fight etc..but this movie the way they made the characters play their roles is sure fascinating. May be it might make us feel a draggy one with a lengthy script but once you jump into this ocean of love , you would forget seeing your clock. Friendship , family , love this movie has it all and bringing out a wonder with such a low budget is a genius work there. A Slow moving but highly charged movie except the hard hitting unpredictable climax but keeping that aside i really enjoyed this movie so much. What else would be better then to have a perfect music blended along with such a astonishing visually stunning movie , yes the music did play a very important role in this film. Wow the BGM was almost dazzling giving that extra zing to the movie. This movie has One of the best BGMs and OSTs and full credits goes to the music director has well along with the best cinematography for a riveting Picturization. Most of the BGM makes me feel as if i am listening to In the mood for love Yumeki's Theme. This two songs Kandu Rendu and Yanaame Songs stays my best fav tracks of this movie talking me to a trans state and i am sure this is going to be played non stop on my ipod for following days to come ( Gave those links below )

Comparing this with VTV is the worst thing to do...!! Because except the common language called love they both are unique in their own way and they both are the best and my fav too...!! Andrea was so perfect with her acting and she made it look so easy with her acting and Rasool (a) Fahadh was so brilliant , Charismatic with every way possible. Sure this will bring many viewers beautiful love-life to the table from their memories seeing rasool following anna nonstop trying to propose his love and it was very soothing to watch.

I really dont want to go into a critic way of looking into this movie spoiling its real beauty , because this movie is supposed to be enjoyed like dripping a lemonade in hot sun and i am sure that is what the director would have expected too. So just watch it and enjoy this beautiful ride of romantic saga. This movie stays my all time favorite.

" Mariyaan - Long running Saga . Complete OverDose , At your own risk "

First day and it was really a good crowd , no wonder they came here to see their Pudhupettai and polladavan Dhanush on screen. Being a Dhanush fan , i was so excited with the whistles and claps everywhere at the first glimpse of our hero as a rude boy fisherman. I should admit , he looked just cool in this movie and perfectly stylish. Movie starts at Sudan Africa and it was really interesting the way the story was narrated.Location choices made were really stunning and hats of the cinematography , really it made a difference with the absolute true BGM from ARR at first half. Be it the natural greenery near sea shore or be it the blue waters or the beach sand it was wonderful all the way adding to it with dhanush mass look , our expectation sky rockets.Parvathy menon as Panimalar 'a' Pani in this movie comes in as a pair for dhanush and she is a real wonder beauty and was mesmerizing all the way. She was so cool and she did pure justice to her role given.Movie starts with Sonapariya Song and it was good , dhanush dance and his onscreen performance was really awesome. He is really a natural born actor and just does his job as a charm. But not to miss though sonapariya song was good suddenly there is a line " sikki sikki ah ah , maththi sikkikicha , nenji vikki kicha , machan vacha micham " which parvathy would sing and we feel as if what the heck happened , a western hip hop style suddenly induced in middle of a beautiful song surrounding a fisherman area and then i realized its okay because its ARR and its his trademark to induce this kind of unwanted beats in middle of good songs and what ever he does becomes a art...crap..!!!







There are so many good scenes like This dialogue " Yenna Gali groundnu sonna , adhu thaan ippo patta pottutiye " & " Chruch laa seruppu theikira vela vechikadha " it was cool to watch it when dhanush says it or the initial fight or say only good fight in the movie when he beats the guy who compells to marry Mani by coming to her house , sure the scene along with the stunning bgm gives you definite goosebumps and his action was real kick-ass one with that mass Cigar look ..!! With jagan and Appu Kutti adding some fun comedy quotient to the movie , first half sails somehow but it was not entirely a fun movie or a action movie at all. Nice romantic scenes and with nice visuals n BGM First half movies at a steady and slow pace as if 2 hours went in already for the intermission. By the time we were at intermission we felt like we were expecting the climax and end credits , but only then we realized that it was just 70-80 min of movie over so far.But all said , i never expected that we are in middle of a SAW game and that this is going to be a life or death choice.



 

The great and much awaited second off started ,apart from some good scenes like dhanush acting in desert serving lunch for his friend jagan virtually or the dialogues like thambi ipppovey yenna konnudhu or when he calls Pani and asks for money were cool but it just went on and on and on ...oooooof Songs after songs after songs..they get the viewers already to a drowsy coma state. The desert scene and escape scene though the visuals were okay n good , it was like going on for generations and the BGM was already a overdose. Nenjey elu nenjey elu song was placed at right place and we are already in a worst state praying to god for the song to get over , then dhanush sees mani as she says vaa mariya vaa....then again nenje elu starts and half of the crowds already Elundirichitanga.....!!! Then after the great funny events like a sudan terrorist finding dhanush walking through the desert bare foot was a big fun and then a sea at middle of sudan was a medical miracle , i dont want to go find it in a map to validate it because we are already tired by the length of second half. Then somehow mariyan reaches home escaping from those terrorist and suddenly one more song starts and 90% theatre is empty already. While someone was getting out of theater spilled few drops of water from their can which brought me out of the coma state and i just immediatly checked my watch to see if it was already 6am early morning so i can order some breakfast because i came to theater at 10pm night. But to my shock , it was just around 1am and i didnt not resist myself anymore to sit inside that theater playing the saw game. As my opinion , BGMs shouldn't suppress or under-shadow the script or the work of director and other cast. BGM & songs was okay and acceptable to one limit but when it goes beyond the accepted point , sure it sickens our brains out . Felt as if this was tailor made for ARR and seems he is a hero but not dhanush. I just couldn't remember when was ARRs last movie which ran well at theaters. I am sure many other movies faced the same slow death as this...!! I am sure ARR is a legend , a great musician or a Oscar winner blah blah blah but he needs to learn to step down at times so the other things in the movie gets highlighted. No wonder why this movie songs was never a hit except one or two which did well at average . As a Fan , As a consumer who spent 120 Rupees this movie was never worth it and total waste. Though i just cant miss to say that Dhanush performance along with parvathy was real good along with good cinematography. But rest all are way beyond the consumption level. I can see many would say this movie is a saga , a poetic one , etc..etc..but the fact is its just a rubber-band stretched beyond its limit. Bharath Bala sucks big time and ARR best work did the opposite with too much of overdose.Mariyaan best fit to be telecasted in Sun TV or Vijay TV as a TV Series so they have whole lot of time to put 100 songs or more as they live

One's Views on a film doesnt change it all because every eye and heart feels different. So it would not be surprising if someone else liked this long saga of Haridas movie runinng for hours all together. Movie is entertainment , a art to attract audience , and so if it fails to entertain you then sure it failed as a whole no matter what we say ..Just because there are so many out there saying this is a best movie they have watched , it still doesnt change a thing on what viewers personally gone through while watching.

This review is just my opinion and i am not against anyone who say they liked it or say this is the masterpiece the industry ever seen or say ARRs best dream work then VTV or a national award winning one then let that be it . This is purely my view as a dejected fan who wasted his 120 Rupees which he could have spend on some other good movies. My Rating : 2.5/5 and i am sure you know what would be the rating if it wasnt for Dhanush. Dhanush still rocks and i really liked his acting and he is the only guardian angel for bharathbala now.

One Week ( 2008) - " A Dying man wish for seeking adventure but never dies "

Have heard about this movie some years back from a friend that this was like Motorcycle diaries and was planning to watch it from then on until recently i finally decided to download and watch it so...

Today was the day i picked this up with a much greater expectation. Movie starts of with a simple narrative style showing of
Ben Tyler ( Joshua Jackson ) inside a hospital were doctor delivers him a shocking news that he is diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer and with a minimum life expectancy of a year or so if not treated. They also say its only 10% chances of his recovery rate with the treatments. Broken and shattered , ben walks away from the hospital and just keeps running directionless till the point he reaches a Bike mechanic shop where he sees the most sexiest bike Norton with a sale tag on it. So this is where he decides for a ride , a adventurous one week trip which might give his life some meaning before he would become a inpatient for cancer treatment becoming immobile..So he convinces his girl friend to whom he is engaged to and after final struggles to takes his ride to the west. So from here on , he just goes to all places without any plans but carries a mobile phone calling his girl friend everyday. He drives up his bike to greenish landscapes , lakes and meets up with many people , takes lot of pictures , stays at presidential suites in hotels and finally returns back home for treatment.

So Surely the above plot makes us feel so good and might sound as a feel good movie. But the screenplay , camerawork and editing spoiled everything. There are so many scenes not giving that continuity feel and is absurd at times to experience it. Also the director should have given more importance capturing the scenic beauty if you want to label this as a adventurous movie and screenplay damn felt like watching some low rated TV series that too with the Worthless narration at the background..that voice makes me feel sick, Crap. This is no feel good movie rather i would say a dying man last wishes as this doesn't look adventurous going around cities , staying at costlier hotels , being with women and using mobile phones every time wherever whenever he needs it. For sure anyone who enjoyed watching Motorcycle diaries with top notch cinematography and splendid visuals n BGM will have a hard time to even cross this one for first 30 min even. Sick as hell. Really felt as if watching this movie for a Week and yaa i even dont remember if this movie had any BGMs at all in it . For me , that Norton bike was the only thing liked about this Movie , So apart from it this is a worthless one IMO. This is no better then House M.D Season 08 Final episode.

Tag line of the movie : "What would you do " /// My mind voice " I would shift Delete it from my computer " .

Y Tu Mamá También ( Spanish )

Nice movie , a complete joy ride with full of desire, exploration . A good voyager feel and nice feel good movie . Its no thriller or horror , just a nice romantic drama between one elder women at 30's and two rude boys at 20's trying to find a hidden beach in mexico. How their search end and how they finally develop a bond between them slowly to the extreme is what the story is.... Not a must watch but not one to be missed too..Watch it for a different feel.

** Strictly adults only.... **

Aftershock (2010)
Original Title : Tangshan dadizhen ( Mandarin )

This movie is about the survival of a family during massive earthquake occurred in Tangshan China in year 1976 costing lives of millions of people during this massive tragedy. I must admit that this is a shere brilliance of work in making and its real Jaw dropping watching the scenes of earthquake captured so realistically. We mostly seen earthquake news in papers and media but by watching this film , you would feel as if you were in that right spot during the disaster. Never take it wrong that this movie is only about the earthquake , it is not..this is a beautiful melodrama about survival of a family consist of couples Da Qiang a taxi driver and his wife yuan survived by two cute kids Fang da and fang deng. This disaster took life of Da qiang leaving his wife and kids struggling. How they get separated during to the earthquake and their reunion covers the rest of the movie.

This is really a feel good movie , scripted so perfectly step by step. I liked every minute of it , what a performance by everyone in the movie. Be it love , sacrifice , decision , struggle and strong will , this movie has it all. BGM was really amazing and it just blended perfectly with the stunning visuals this movie had. Though it starts with a earthquake , it crunches our heart at the end and with that of a beautiful family union at last leaves all the viewers go out with a satisfied smile. This would stay as my fav movie for sure and if you watched Iranian movies like Children of heaven , song of sparrows and french movie incendies sure you would like this movie a lot. This movie is real stunner and it would stay in my best archives for ever. WoW what a experience watching this gem of a movie ** Do not miss it watching **

The Place Beyond the Pines

Expected a fiery action film from the charming Ryan Gosling with his different body language and his cool rude boy tattoo's in this film , but turns out to be a perfect drama of Love , sacrifice and redemption. First half was real good as it goes under the shadow of ryan as Luke who is a motorcycle racer forced to rob banks inorder to care his new born son with all the needs. But i never ever expected that he would face the end in hands of a police officer Bradly cooper during a bank robbery encounter. Shootout was not actually needed , but jack did fire rounds at ryan killing him instantly which was a felony that he cannot shoot a victim unless they try to attack back. But he hides this fact and becomes a hero of that district , gets many awards and accolades from everyone. Deep inside , Jack knows what he did was wrong killing a innocent for nothing and starts to feel guilt , suffers for his action. Rest of movie is how he tries to make up the wrong doing by helping ryans family and how he rise to a district attorney position from a cop was beautifully made. Only thing is the director has left a good portion of it uncompleted for its sequel which involves ryans Son who runs out of house to live life on his own. So might be we are in to part 2 of it soon.....!!!

Too much of a lengthy drama and dragging at times , but sure its not bad at all. Very nice movie and screenplay flows along well. Ryan acting was cool and perfect , but never miss to mention the stunning performance of Bradly cooper. He is the one who carries rest of the movie when Ryan is no more . Not a visually stunning movie but this is worth a watch for Crime drama movie liker . You got to have real patience to watch it entirely its worth it, but if you download this thinking a action movie....better stay away from it as you would be so much disappointed later.IMO i liked this movie a lot and worth one time watch. Sure i would be one queued up to watch the sequel part of it.

Welcome to the Punch :-

A Worst and Horrible movie to watch..!! Story is just the old school with Police and Mob games...But horrible screenplay..Not even one scene in the whole entire movie was remarkable , remarkable or watchable. Added to this , that horrible re-recording and editing with the Dub , that UK English is worst , horrible . Its kind of mid western English and gives pain in the ear. Total waste of time !! Shift + Delete

Guillermo del Toro's "Pacifim Rim" First Look :-

We mostly knew what the story would be about with so many teasers , posters so far. Yes its a movie based on Fight between Mankind vs alien monsters called Kaiju. To fight these monsters all world leaders unite to form a Jaeger program which in-turn creates Huge Robots which can fight these monsters and protect humanity. Rest is same as such in any other alien vs robot movies and mankind wins. This kaiju is differentiated based on Size and are called as Category 2,3,4,5 etc...Ther were total of 32 Jaeger and over a period of time that got reduced to four . So the Program Jaegar was called off by all countries but the captain n soldier Idris elba decides to fight back with just the remaining four jaegars forms the rest.

Pros :-
====
>> Charlie Hunnam as Raliegh Pilot of Mac3 Robot is only one who carries movie in a intresting way.
>> Sure this movie would take you back 20 years TV Series Gaint robot days and you would somehow start to enjoy the movie as some small kid in theater.
>> Robots Robots and robots all the way. Computer graphics is at its best. Cool work and sure more hard work went into this bringing this imaginary robot characters live on screen . Very nice.
>> First 10 min of the movie is just awesome and especially the Robot assembly and preparation for a fight was stunning
>> BGM i must say is so cool and wonderful . Perfectly matches to the encounter scene between Jaeger and kaiju
>> Opening scene and the might by Mac3 & category 4 kaju was cool and meticulously done
>> The Deployment of Jaegar for fight through helicopters was cool

Cons :-
====
>> Yes we went in with so much expectation , but all we see is the same we seen in all other movies.
>> Yes director was successful taking us back to childhood , so should be the expectation. , we would have expected more weapons out of those robots but actually there is nothing with some boring plasma gun , some air gun and a sword really there is nothing else.
>> Kaiju is nothing but a big size bull. that is just a animal like godzilla , nothing new in it or nothing different
>> First half was like robo vs godzilla a movie released in 90's and the climax was copied from Independence day. Only difference in that movie it happens in space and in this PR it happens under sea.
>> Even the speech from Idris elba at climax before going to the fight doesn't give you that goosebumps which you get during the final president speech by Bill Pullman in independence day . Yes i get it..we just cant compare two movies but if you watch it , sure there is no way you could prevent yourself comparing like this. Its open and clear.
>> There are so many logic misses at many places and there are so many funny scenes at serious place like firing a Flair over monster during a fight scene. Though we can find some answers our-self , it didnt help the movie in any way.
>> There are hardly four fights in the entire movie and as many posters say each robot is different , in movie all robots looks similar and there is nothing much differences between them. coyote tango , cherno alpha , dublindecker , striker eureka , gypsy danger and so many but hardly any difference you would notice.Common we are still not out of Iron man saga and no wonder we expect more out of our robots.
>> So many things are packed so fast and unfortunately director had to dump to many things in a short run. Felt screenplay was super fast making things unclear at times and felt as if director was in a hury .

Overall
========
We have been seeing so many related movies like this and we just cannot stop yourself comparing with the others . Or may be the reason we went in with so many expectation but when we didnt get that much , may be it leaves us disappointed a little. But keeping things aside , sure this is not a bad attempt and GDT has really done a wonderful job bringing this beautiful characters in a celluloid form . If we had enjoyed super human samurai , giant robot and many others of similar genre , sure we would enjoy this movie so much . But when you go into technical aspects or a wise adult audience , sure you would feel something missing when you completed watching the entire movie. That said i liked this move but watching second time....i doubt. Average movie worth watching if you want to bring in the child in you out. Keep your critic shoes out and you might really enjoy this . If you have kids in home , i am sure they will definitely love this movie a lot.

My Rating : 7/10

FAM Final Verdict : GDT has more monsters to fight off-screen. Hope his only trump card Jaegers would help him. Less Likely chances for the sequel

Shootout at wadala ( 2013 )

I am sure most know already that this movie is based on the true incidents from rise 'n' Fall of a Mumbai Dreaded gangster Manya Surve and his rivalry between D Brothers. Though this movie portrayed a gangster as a hero which shouldn't have happened , but still as a movie based on true events , it catches much attention to it. We will never know which character played what role until we read the true life story of Manya. From Varadarajan Mudhaliar to D Company everyone played a role in the movie and if to understand it more below link is posted to read it. To keep this aside as a movie , except at few places its not catchy as other gangster movies like D Company , Company etc and things start and end so quickly. John Abraham acted well but his muscles didnot help much in this movie and initial fight training scenes within jail is rather too exaggerated . And GOW face Manoj Bajpayee played as Zubair along with Sonu sood as Kaskar Brothers really played it well. Anil kapoor doesnt have much in the movie except comes in as a encounter specialist. Remember that this encounter was the first to ever happen in Mumbai which started a series of encounters with around 850 encounters in total within a span of 5 years. Movie is watchable if you know the true story before in hand and in-detail about the characters. Its a Average flick to those who like movies based on true incidents and gangsta flicks . For others , this is not worth a try. Ignore it.

True story

There's something about Mary ( 1998 )

A Nice romantic comedy genre movie with plot centering around two characters Mary ( Cameron Diaz ) and Ted ( Ben Stiller ) . We might had crush during school times but how many wait for 13 years to find her back and get her , yes you got it right this movie is all about the same. Good ones , made me laugh a lot at many places and it was interesting to watch this. Cameron Diaz with her cool heavenly looks felt apt for the role and she just blushes easily sweeping off our brains out with her good smiley face, for sure she is a charm.Her acting was cool and natural , but though the movie title says there is something about Mary , i felt that the real show stealer was Ted , Ben stiller a face we seen familiar with Night at the museum. His role as some crack nut guy doing lot of mistakes whatever he does , the incident during the High school prom , his arrest at Miami on a park and be it anything he showed himself as a loser all through the movie but at last he gets his Mary back. That background musicians with guitar at every step of the film singing songs about Mary & Ted was cool n different , liked it a lot. There are other characters too like Detective healy , Pizza boy Tucker , Teds friend Dom who did their role well too giving a perfect blend to it. Even there are lot of scenes i guess are stolen from this movie to our Hollywood like the Dog on fire scene which we can see in vadivels movie and three guys plot and ted getting his old lover back for her was like Kanna Laddu Thinna Aasaiya and there are many other places which reminded me of our tamil movies. Apart from some 100% Adulterated adult dialogues and some disgusting scenes here and there..this movie stays a good watch. Not the best but not bad either. A Average entertainer and for Cameron Diaz fans , i bet yaa..you will love it as i did and is complete fun.

PTA's The Master ( 2012 ) :-

Genre : Cult | Drama

Just completed Watching PTA's The Master. A slow paced Cult classic . Joaquin Phoenix as Freddie and Phillip Hoffman as Dodd a leader for a Unit called Cause dealing with , Cult , psychological behavior and Time travel. Freddie is a World war veteran returned home after the war. But same time he is a alcoholic and obsessed to sex. Incapable of leading a peaceful life without drinks , he flew home and in same process meets up with Dodd. Dodd sees him and takes him up as his patient and starts his methods to cure his sickness and make him a better man and the bonding between him and freddie and how they travel together in life is rest of story.

Movie is awkwardly slow but yes it was a fine movie. There is nothing special in the movie except the performance of Phillip hoffman. If it wasnt him , this movie would have been dumped cleanly. Joaquin acting is okay but irritates after a while. His acting would make us feel drowsy. But he did a fine job too which is what expected from him. But frankly , there is nothing in the movie , script is not the best , BGM serves nothing , there is no picturization or visual tech needed or actually there is nothing. I just felt watching a normal TV series and as if felt it ended. There is nothing to complain or appreciate. This is just a movie thats all..Nothing to take or nothing to get. Need real patience to complete this movie without a fast forward button. If you can , you are really great. Not all would like it. See it if it fits your taste.

The Lone Ranger ( 2013 ) First Look :-

A total let down for J.Depp fans. Started off good but after a particular point . it was dragged off unwantedly. It had a chance to change into a revenge based movie but sure Director lost track of it and ended up in a funny way. Though J.Depp as Tonto satisfies with his stunning acting as a Native american tribe warrior , still things didn't mingle in proper proportion. Armie hammer as John reid was totally waste and except the last few min disgusting stunt , there was noting he did in the movie. Better than Armie hammer , his brother in this movie Dan reid ( James ) acted really well and his role in the movie was interesting and engaging.

Story was normal , nothing new related to Silver Ore , railway layouts on 1933 , White men stealing Ore and Red indians in that area fighting against them and Tonto as a member of red indians , John as a white men and a law person fill the remaining role. Robbery , Crime , Thriller , comedy this movie doesn't fit to one genre not because it was really that stunning but because it failed to prove any one. Especially last 30 min background score was horrible as hell like Disney s Tom and jerry score played on a serious climax scene , seriously sick. Theater was already half and even seen many walking out at intermission itself. If you are a serious J.Depp fan like me , you can stick to the seat with a iron heart , else sure you will run for cover. Director Gore Verbinski wasted a life chance not to properly use such a raw talent like J.Depp and i am sure he will be one crying in the bathtub by now. Except the Wildwest backdrop and people in those costumes , there is nothing much you can expect.

Overall : Lone ranger is a Lone Traveler on a sinking boat.At your own risk

The ISLE - 7.5/10 - Genre : Drama | Romance
Nice romantic Movie with less dialogues and more expressions , Sure Kim Ki-duk Trademark in it. Slow and calm ride. If u liked 3-Iron , sure you will like this movie. Watchable Once

Delicatessen - 5/10 - Thriller | Musical
Not Too too good movie.They tried a series script but ended up in funny horrible way. Not worth.Boring.Economic Crises , Starvation and cannibalism is whole concept of the movie.

El Aura - 8/10 - Thriller | Adventure
Good One. A Plan goes wrong on Hunting trip. Failed Bank heist and its further implications. Sloppy climax though. Watchable Once.Richardo from Secret in their Eyes , he casts the main role in this movie

Hannibal TV Series ( Season 01 ) :-

Finally completed season 01 Hannibal just for Lector , A good thriller series . Will ( Hugh Dancy ) has a special powers through which he can empathize with the Serial killers and once he steps in to a crime scene , he can recreate it and enact virtually how the murder took place. the catching point is..though he can see the way the murder happened , he cant see the killer but instead he can feel like the killer with a clue on how the killers mental condition was during the kill. Matrix star Laurence fishburne ( Jack ) comes in as Head of FBI . While Will helps is needed for FBI , it takes a toll on will mentally with many nightmares to follow. Thats how Hannibal lector comes in as a Unofficially appointed psychiatrist for Will by jack. So rest of season follows on how Hannibal lector manipulates the behavior of Will for his needs and to hide his dark secrets beneath it and how will starts to break down himself while he tried to save many lives and solves many serial murders during the process falls rest of story.

The only good thing on the entrie season is the stunning performance of Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal Lector. He just lives up to the name , be it when he fries the human liver with flava beans or when he dresses up the salad with human spleen and kidney. These scenes are awkwardly catchy and initially it kinds of irritates but later this gets normal as every episode starts showing his new menus with Human organs and how much he liked to cook using them and creating new recipes. Even till the last minute none able to find the actual master serial killer is Hannibal lector but when Will finds out that at last episode , he is already in jail as Hannibal perfectly execute the plan and uses Will for his needs. Hugh Dancy as Will did perform well atleast for the first 3 episodes , later on he catches up with the strange disease due to which he acts up as a drug addict till the end of season which is disgusting causing nausea after some point. To see it really , Wills power has nothing to do in solving the crimes , though they show as if he does something , but the fact remains is he does nothing but just see how murder is done without seeing the murderer face. I guess Dexter would find this in a much easier way with just Blood splatter analysis. I felt Dex is more good then this Hugh. Seeing how Hannibal uses Will , we can always feel that Will is a big time loser and he is no wonder boy anymore , a big time show stopper. Jack acting was good , running here and there with single barrel gun but not even a shot was fired. He should come out of the matrix feel and start to think this is hannibal. When everything is a big let down..the only perfect character lives up to it and makes us see through all episodes is none other then our Fav Hannibal Lector. Awesome and really wonderful performance. Natural acting. But fact i couldnt deny is that i had to place antony Hopkins in his place many times , just to feel the true Hannibal Lector performance. Damn if Antony Hopkins would have accepted to do this series...this would have been thunderous .

Chan-wook Park's Stoker :-

A Very good Mystery drama all the way. Be it captured in a wonderful Lush green stunning backgrounds or the thrilling background scores , this movie takes its values in every aspect. Story revolves around a rich girl ( India Stoker by Mia Wasikowska ) , his mom Evie ( Nicole Kidman ) who living in a lushly parse huge family estate and how their life turns up after India's father passes out in a tragic accident followed by sudden n surprise introduction of her uncle ( CHarlie by Mathew ) . India is a much reserved girl who doesn't accept changes much . below quote would say more about her

" My ears hear what others cannot hear; small faraway things people cannot normally see are visible to me. These senses are the fruits of a lifetime of longing, longing to be rescued, to be completed. Just as the skirt needs the wind to billow, I'm not formed by things that are of myself alone. I wear my father's belt tied around my mother's blouse, and shoes which are from my uncle. This is me. Just as a flower does not choose its color, we are not responsible for what we have come to be. Only once you realize this do you become free, and to become adult is to become free ~ India Stoker "

With this said , its about how India accepts her uncle into family whom she never ever saw before when her dad was alive , later she starts to find the motives behind her uncles presence and reacts to the situation and how she sorts out things falls rest of the story .

I am sure if this would have been the same if it wasnt Chan-wook Park. Story i wouldn't say its something out of the blue , a very normal family mystery but the way India stoker ( Mia ) performed brings more light to the movie . Without her there is no stroke in stoker. Awesome movie , the picturization depicting how india see things , hear sounds with her own thoughts was meticulously done. But it just doesn't end it, If there was no Uncle character there , this movie would have never got the spice in it. Mathew as Uncle Charlie with his cool looks and sneaky character fit to the role very perfectly. I would say its more of a musical drama then of a movie. Very melancholic at times , very touchy at most and very tempting at least. Its not about the story or the script . Its about the perfect screenplay and fit perfect cast in hands of master Chan-wook Park . But one must admit , patience is much needed to watch through it and enjoy the real beauty of this celluloid wonder. A Must watch for Mystery Drama watchers . DO not miss it.

Bullet to the Head ( 2013 )

Just watched Bullet to the Head...!! Worst Movie from my Fav Actor..Just felt like watching a regular Drama. Same Story of Professional Killing and Revengue..!! But this movie was way too boring and dragging...!!! Climax is just wasted for nothing with BigBoss Taken out by another Pro Killer .Except the Last Axe Fight..Nothing Much Interested me.. Seems this was a Bullet to the Heart with Upsetting SS Fans hugely..!!! Below Average . Watch at your Own risk of Spending 90+ Min for it.

" Revenge Never Gets old...But Unfortunate sylver stallone do.... "

G.I. Joe: Retaliation ....!!

Okay nice action film if you keep your logic finding brain aside. Good action by everyone and sad missing Channing Tatum at the start itself. Bruce wills has not much role to play though but when he shows up all the hidden weapons in his house Damn cool...!!!! And Dwayne Muscle man had not much chance to play with his muscle around in this movie as its only bullets which is singing all through....!!! My Fav star Byung-hun Lee ( Storm shadow ) Mr.Bittersweet life was there and his acting was cool along with snake eyes. Especially that Mountain escape sequence was brilliantly made . Same Nukes and Nukes story nothing new but just the action part which is cool . Overall a average flick worth watching once .

Beast of Southern Wild :-

A Very nice slow paced movie Deals with Life of two souls , a little girl Hushpuppy ( wallis ) and his dad Wink ( Dwight ) in Southern edge of the earth called Bathtub avoiding the busy city life and trying to live up with their community totally isolated from city by a river. People in Bathtub live a harmonic life with what they got until a storm hit their region where many had to flew from their own land to other places in search of shelter.But Hushpuppy's dad is so determinant and with lots of pride \dignity decides to stay back with few other people there.Following that , storm hits the place , ice caps melt , the land gets flooded , All usable water turns to salt water bc of flooding , Live stocks die bc of starvation and things totally starts to break down. Adding to that , wink catches up with some disease making Hushpuppy feel insecure that she cant left alone in the world anytime once his father dies. So the movie is all about how Wink prepares her daughter to face the things far ahead of her age and to be a man when circumstances calls far. Just the survival of the fittest.

Well this was a very good film with the narration of story done by the same kid , hats of to the brilliant acting by Wallias. She sure deserves a applause. Though this wasn't a masterpiece or a unique movie , it talks about the peoples determination , pride for their living and the strong love between a dad n daughter. But movie screenplay was bit odd felt like watching a documentary then of a movie and the sudden introduction of ice age creatures called Aurocks was unnecessary.Thing were going perfectly and it should have been left that way but yes its film and anything is acceptable. But yes sure it was a good movie , a nice adventure but imo i feel its been really over-hyped. Worth watch once and sure i wont be able to watch this movie again.

Still good one , but yaa Benh the director a short film maker did got his open windows to full length movies , no wonder why it felt like a documentry. Being it first timer..he really did it well . Nice movie .

Watched FDFS Show in Satyam Cinemas Chennai in 3D

** Spoiler Alert : Do not Read if you have not watched the Movie Yet ***

For Chris Nolan and Dark Knight Fans\Freaks...This is just a new start for Superman. This is no continuation of its previous Superman Predecessors and this Movie is Just a New Beginning with Sequels to be expected soon.....!! Man of Steel is equivalent to Batman Begins and this is just a start, a Amazing beginning for Superman in a new form.

"For some, he was a guardian angel. For others, a ghost who never quite fit in." -This quote would say it all what we are going to expect from the movie.

Story:-

=======

Krypton a Dying planet many light years from earth is in verge of self destruction due to lack of natural resources to run its course and is not able to withstand through its changes overtime. There is been no natural birth happened in Krypton for centuries and they are created by artificial means to generate their own species until when a New child ( Kal-El ) is born to Krypton's Chief scientist Jor-El ( Russel Crowe ) and Lara by means of natural birth. Things take a drastic turn when Commander'n'cheif of Kryptonion Army General Zod played by Michael Shannon Turns up against his own leaders for not protecting the planet thinking that they are not doing enough to help the planet from destruction. General Zod along with his army troop attack on his own people to take up the throne and in turn he reaches to Jor-El to get hold of Kryptonian codex , a power source for embryos creation without which there will be no birth of Kryptonion Species. But Before General Zod can reach Jor-El , he along with lara ensures safety of his son's life by sending him to a very distant planet Which is Earth. Before they do, jor-el embed the Codex into the cells of the Super Child making him very special and only source for the survival of Kryptonion Life Forms and its future. As Jor-El refuse to shake hand with his once good friend General zod, a clash happens between both which ends up Killing Jor-El but still General Zod was not able to prevent the Child from escaping from his planet.

This saga ends were General Zod and his Troop later Surrounded by the Kryptonion Army under higher command and arrested for this treason and for planning this coup against his own leaders. As a penalty for his crime and betrayal , General Zod along with few of his loyal soldiers are sent to Outer space in black hole away from krypton which would hold them in a infinite state of coma.Dust settles downs a bit and finally Krypton planet meets its end as like any dying star in outer space. Every race in the planet is been destroyed except the one and only child who is sent to earth for safe living. This destruction inturn released General Zod and his troop from their coma state making them also a few survivors of their planet. As General Zod knew that the Codex which is embedded in cells of kal-El is only source to bring back his planet to life, he starts his search for Kal-El on all galaxies and stars relentlessly

As we know the story of superman from here on , he reaches earth shattering the skies in night making a burning star entry to planet earth. He was later discovered by Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner) and his wife Martha (Diane Lane) and they start raising him as a adoptive child Named as Clark Kent ( Henry Cavill ) who inturn start to indentify his own powers day after day , year after year. Clark always knew he is a adopted child, but his quest to know his real parents and secrets behind the inhuman powers never stopped. Though his many failed attempts to mask his powers and cover-up his identify, people start to see him different while some see him as God send and others see him as ghost waking. Jonathan guides him through his life to cover-up his tracks and to maintain his true identify undercover until actually time really calls for to help save the humanity and planet earth.

While this is on, Carl finds a space ship buried inside Iceberg. He somehow able to gets access to it to only realize that the actual ship was from his birth planet Krypton. Through few checks on the Spaceship, he is able to bring back his own father recordings, a message which was left to Karl-El to decrypt his identify and to help him understand the reason for sending him to earth. Louis Lane ( Amy Adams ) who is a reporter at Daily planet was also in nearby area to write up a article on this unidentified object which is this space ship buried deep inside the Iced Waters . She somehow finds the way into the spaceship meets up with a unexpected encounter with Clark and she gets to know his true identify, so far one and only person who knew his secrets. But Clark requests her not to share this secret making her understand that his existence was rather for a bigger cause and that this identity had to be covered until the right time cloaks in . While this spaceship visit helped Karl (a) Clark understand his birth secret, the beacon in the spaceship sets-on which inturn alerts General Zod who is desperately searching Kal-el everywhere. This clue leads General Zod to earth and as soon as he gets into the earth’s atmosphere, he takes control of every satellite communication on earth sending message to every people on earth to handover Kal-EL to him so he would leave earth unharmed. Clark voluntarily steps forward to Army commander in earth informing his willingness to surrender.

Clark was handed over and is later taken to General Zod by his commanding soldiers where Clark discovers that the actual intention of General Zod is not to just capture Kal-El but he also wants to convert planet Earth to Krypton which will happen only by killing and destroying every living and non living forms in earth. Whether Kal-El would help his own Bloodline and commander Zod to achieve his dream or whether he would stand against him to save humanity is what makes rest of the story

Pros :-

======

Though this movies makes the first step to break the barrier for using the name Superman in title as Nolan did before for Dark knight rises , This new and Fresh Title " Man of Steel " sure brings in that Zing and excitement. Nolan and his co writers also broke few other taboos surrounding the Letter "S " which actually means "Hope" in krypton but not Superman. There is also many modifications to the story at many places like Clark Kent is no longer in disguise to his lover cum co-worker Louis Lane making us believe that this is not going to be just the Comic superman series but a birth of New Generation SuperHero.Zack Snyder's Man of Steel is Yet another Power-Packed SuperHero Entertainer. With Legends like Chris Nolan as Pillars in Production Unit, we can rest assure that we are in for a virtual treat. The best thing or the foremost important thing which worked out for Zack and his Unit is the mind blowing Background Score by Hans Zimmer followed by our Superman Henrry Cavill who really lived up to his role and took up this challenge bravely. The first scene where Henry is engulfed in fire while trying to save few people from a fire accident in mid sea gives Goosebumps , Jaw Dropping. CGI and SFX works were good and overall this Powerful combo of Nolan and Snyder did the trick.

Cons :-

======

This Movie is a fresh beginning of This new age Superman , Trying to tell a complete story from beginning is a time consuming tiring process and may be a reason why this movie run time is longer than 120 minutes. Though David S.Goyer did his best in screenplay to show as many aspects he can without breaking the flow of movie, still many fans would feel that the movie is kind of dragged to a extent. Louis Lane here has not much role to play or that said she is brought onscreen for nothing at many places. I guess this is the only movie where Superman is beaten up to hell than any other and it was not too goodin the end the destruction & damages done by Superman is more then the actual General Zod would have done :D  , 3D was not that amazing in it or may be needs to be watched in a IMAX Screen to experience the real 3D Effects. But on a normal 3D Screens this movie has nothing special to offer.

Verdict:

========

Though there was a Lagging on Screenplay ,still it stays under a acceptable limit as we may finally end up appreciating the work of Director and other casts including editing department, for its not easy to show the past & present both together while maintaining the actual storyline intact. So if you are looking out for a full fledged action movie, then you are about to get disappointed. This movie is not a best one, but sure a must watch one for its virtual treat and if you are a Superman Fan, then sure this would satisfy your taste buds and stays as a complete entertainer.Go in with not much expectation and come out fully satisfied. Sure its Sequel will be more stunning and keeps us waiting. Definitely a Kick Ass entertainer , Worth watching Once in Theater. Value For Money.

FAM Rating: 8/10

FAM Punch Line : " This is Not the End , but Just the New Beginning .. More to Come”

Kai Po Che :-
 
I must say its a mere sin not watching this movie until Now. A mind blowing Feel good movie which takes you out on its entire Run. Excellent Story and wow what a performance by the three and they really done their part so good. Enjoyed every minute of it. Be it the BGM or Be it the climax or their friendship, its just the goosebumps all over...!! This would Top my List of Best B.Wood Movies next too Tare Zameen Par , Chak le India and Rang De Basanthi. If you are also the one who still not yet seen this amazing Celluloid entertainer , please do it soon..... !!

A Good Day to Die Hard

Watched Good day to Die Hard...!! Not bad for its a complete action pack Father\Son Double Bonanza entertainer from start to end...thats what you would expect as the name suggests. Though there are so many Logic misses like a 3 year Ops but not to figure out whats in the vault or the people freely roaming without masks or fear of radioactive dusts especially in most radio active places like Chernobyl which is still radioactive as half life for Plutonium reactors is 25000 Years..But yes keeping the logics apart..this is one good entertainer and if you are Bruce Willis Fan then sure you are up for it. Worth watching once but not more then that.....!!! Enjoy watching

Olympus Has Fallen :-

Wonderful action packed movie from word go.its just kept on going at full phase. Gerard Butler has yet again proved he can fit to any role given to him and he delivers it with top class perfection. His role as a Secret Service agent Presidential guard is too cool and fits perfectly .When Paramilitary forces of North korea take over White house and create a hostage situation bringing president under their control , how gerard Butler ( Mike banning ) steps up to his duties and gets president out safe is story all about. Mr.Harvey Dent ( Aaron Eckhart ) played as President in this movie also done his part well. But it was gerard all the way with his brilliant action sequence , modus operandi , plans and execution keeps us watching till the end. Sure this would stay as one of fav movies of GB along with many other. A Worth watch movie for action movie lovers. Dont miss it

Safe Haven ..!!!

Just another wonderful movie from the Great Writer Nicholas Sparks !! Beautiful and gives a fresh Feel....!!! Though it was too dramatic compared to his other works , still this too stays as one of best romantic wonders he created. Go for it for a feel good try and sure will will enjoy it.

Superman Unbound (2013) :-

Genre : Action | Animation

Watched Superman Unbound. A Good one were they used his real name Kal-el in this movie. The antagonist of the movie would be called Brainiac who invades many planets , takes part of planet as a soveneir and destroys the remaining. Added to that we can see supergirl also in this movie as a cousin to Superman. When its time Brainiac finds earth and attempts to invade , how superman and supergirl save earth from the hand of this cybernetic is the story. Not a hi-fi super one but not a bad one either. Can be watched once if you like superman as a animation character.

20 Symptoms of a Movie Addict  ( How many points do you score )

Fear not, here are 20 symptoms to look for:

1. YOU LOVE MOVIE LISTS

For those truly stricken with the movie madness, you will certainly nod to
the ideal that there is no such thing as 'too much movies'. To that, enter
the somewhat obsessive, often compulsive pastime of many addicts;
creating perfunctory lists of movies, actors, directors, quotes, goofs,
trivia,all the movies you've ever seen, all the movies you want to see,
movies by year, movies by genre, from lists sporting the highest ilk
of cinema to lists smeared with the wretched tailings of Hollywood’s
backside. And all for and end that will never come; and you love it.

2. YOU LET YOUR TRUE EMOTIONS OUT

Attempting to restrain your true feelings of a film is certainly a clear
mark of someone not a movie addict. If you feel sad, you cry even
if your girlfriend gives you that disgusted cock-eyed grimace, you
laugh even if you're the cricket in the field (of course this is certainly
due to the fact that you are oh so cultured, unlike the ambient swine
wolfing down their disaster movies and Freddy Got Fingered(s)),
you cower despite the mocking of your buffoonish friends, and so
forth. By altering your natural responses based on the crowd, you
cheat only yourself.

3. YOU HAVE MOVIES STILL IN THE WRAPPING

Another clear indication that you drink in too much of the filmohol is
that you buy movies on a whim for no reason other then you could
cover it with the change you had in your pocket. And these films
will never see the hypnotic laser of your blue-ray player, no; it will
join its well-loved brothers on your sagging DVD rack forever
sealed in its glossy plastic tomb.

4. YOU CAN SPOUT OFF YOUR FAVORITE MOVIES ON A WHIM

If movies are the drug then talking about them is the high, for
there is no question a movie addict drools more quickly to then
“so, what your favourite movie?” Like a drunken technician
at the control panel of a dam your flood of movie-savvy bursts
forth as you systematically spout off your 347 favourite flicks
to a person you will never speak to again...likely due to the
forthcoming retraining order...

5. YOU HAVE SEEN AT LEAST ONE MOVIE NOBODY ELSE HAS HEARD OF

Ahhh yes...nothing is a bigger buzz kill then the enthusiastic...
"Oh my god, have you seen ____???!?!" *Cue blank stares*
But fear not movie addicts as this can be your own little secret,
your secret movie love child, who one day you can bring over
to your friends house and proclaim..."Look what IIII gottttt!!"
and burn the retinas and melt the brains of everyone there with
the sheer awesomeness of your secret find.

6. YOU BUY INSTEAD OF DOWNLOAD

Bonafide movie addicts know the merit of a solid DVD
collection; I mean, how else will everyone know what a
freak you are? People who only download do so only to
parade around their needlessly large hard-drive.
But addicts need the tactile feeling of popping open
that case, need to see their own delirious expression in
the glare off the plastic coating and need to experience
the cool, commanding feeling of a remote control in their hand.

7. YOU ALWAYS FINISH A MOVIE YOU START;no matter how long, horrendous or boring

Nothing irks a cinema junkie more those who wont finish a
movie. To us, its like leaving during the appetizer of a 12
course meal. There are always chances for the next scene to
be better then that which preceded it and the same goes
vice versa. There are more then enough movies that
cataclysmically implode in their final act, so touting them as
masterpieces half way through is foolish. You HAVE to
brave through and while you may never be able to get rid
of the wretched aftertaste of tainted film from your
mouth, at least you can warn others about it.

8. YOUR LIFE IS A MOVIE

Even a blind deaf Amish person spouts the occasional
movie quote. It's unavoidable. Film is so engrained into
popular culture that even the deftest person can miss
that a common phrase or quip originated in the movies.
But it takes a true doped up addict to pull out the
obscurely bizarre quotes and insert them into every
day conversation...and you smirk as you think about
how it went over everyone's heads and chuckle at your
cleverness; you and all your movie loving brethren.

9. YOU HAVE A WAD OF MOVIE STUBS AS THICK AS A PHONE BOOK

Prancing home, fresh from a Friday night screening you
launch yourself down the stairs to your room. The doorframe
stresses as you launch yourself around the corner and slide
to your knees at the side of your bed and delicately slide out
'the shoebox'. Daintily, you lift the lid like it’s the Arc of the
Covenant and you gaze upon, with glossy eyes, the faded
reminders of the thousands of dollars you blew at the theatres.

10. YOU CAN STAND IN A MOVIE STORE FOR HOURS

Of all windfalls of gathering with fellow film junkies, the hammer
drops when you venture to the local video store to procure a
Friday night flick. Gazing at the kaleidoscope of colours peppering
the lofty rack before you, your eyes drift from case to case,
the memory of each flicking through your mind like a channel
changer gone haywire. *One hour later* Unfortunately
nostalgia and lack of a proper social life hinder the quest, as
despite the best efforts of all those present...you cannot pick
a damn movie. Then like a whisper at the end of a tunnel,
a voice, slowly growing louder as the wisest of the group
mumbles..."So, what, like you jus wanna get Bad Boys II?"

11. YOU’RE A MOVIE FILTER

Part of your sworn duty as an addict is to serve as the human
shield for the barrage of heinous movies that blitz society each
year. No more innocents need be harmed by the surge of
spoofs, the ravages of rom-coms and the barrage of brainless
and below-par blockbusters. In an addicts’ never ending quest
to get their next fix we are unfortunately subjected to the scum
along with the gold. And with that selfless act we both clear
the record on those movies that got a bad rap, and stop others
from taking the plunge.

12. MOVIE POSTERS ARE YOUR WALLPAPER

This next symptom has various degrees of intensity. Everyone
who has been puffing the movijuana has at some point in
their life had a movie poster. That poster might as well be
structurally integral to the wall, as it is never to be moved.
Certain instances however, see a slow accumulation of movie
posters until the room is just a glorious cave of tacky taglines
and glowering Bruce Willis'.

13. YOU HAVE AN OVERFLOW DVD RACK

Nothing puts an incredulous stare on someone’s face more
then after showing someone your movie collection to then
skirt around the corner to show them your second collection.
(Alphabetized of course)

14. YOU NEVER FEEL LAME WATCHING MOVIES ALONE

The great thing about movies is they can be enjoyed en masse
or sporadically, for thrills or for relaxation and with friends or my
ones lonesome. A true addict can appreciate the film as a film
and not need validation from others to feel fulfilled.

15. YOU HAVE SEEN A MOVIE AT LEAST 10 TIMES

(10 is a general rule) and everyone has that movie...the one
with the dings and scratches, the one with the cracked case, the
one that may still be lying on the table, the one that makes
your DVD player moan in annoyance when you put it
in...the one that essentially embodies everything you love about
the movies.

16. YOU NEVER BOYCOTT AN ENTIRE GENRE

Saying you don’t like an entire genre of movie is like saying
you don’t like one of your fingers just because you poked
yourself in the eye once. A bad experience should never
turn you off the whole, and this is something a true movie
addict is never guilty of. Now, this symptom does have a
certain amount of give as some people cant handle gore,
others hate being scared and others have nostalgia issues, and
while that may limit a genre...there is always that exception,
that one movie you will love, and you wont find it if you stop looking.

17. YOU LOVE MOVIE TRAILERS

Nothing gets a movie addict pumped up like a rousing trailer; r
upturing your ear drums and squeezing into your temples...it’s
like prepping the tunicate for the first inebriating injection.

18. YOU LOVE SILENT, FORIEGN AND BLACK AND WHITE FILMS JUST AS MUCH AS ANY OTHER

With the age of DVD's and the splurge of re-makes, re-inventions,
re-boots, re-imaginings...a.k.a. re-pugnant, re-volting re-pellant
and re-vulsive, people today either don’t get the chance to see
the black and white, silent and timeless classics of Hollywood-old,
or maybe they're just ignorant and have the attention span of
Dennis the Menace huffing reefer. We movie addicts both respect
the new age of cinema but always leave a slice of time for the
classics that made film what it is today. Plus Chaplain is hilarious.

19. YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

A BAD MOVIE AND A 'BAD' MOVIE AND A BAD
MOVIE AND A MOVIE YOU DIDN’T LIKE
After a period of addiction, after the late nights, the
Redbull’s, Friday the 13th marathons and extended versions
of Lord of the Rings every addict reaches a period of clarity.
A period...an epitome...of how everything works and why
everything is what it is. Suddenly you know why Rob Schneider
movies are so awful and why Godzilla vs. Mecha-Godzilla is so
bad its good, why everyone loves the Shawshank Redemption and
when you learn to hate people who can’t distinguish between the
fact they 'hate' Battlefield Earth but just didn’t 'get' The Godfather.
Nails on a chalkboard = the following

"___*insert best picture winner here*____is the worst film I have ever seen."

20. YOU WILL DEFEND A MOVIE YOU LOVE TO THE DEATH

Period.
