ఏం అర్థం కాని 180 - 160 నిముషాల గోల

ఫర్లేదు అనిపించే ఒక తెలుగు హీరొయిన్, ఓవర్ ఆక్షన్ తప్ప ఆక్షన్ రాని ఒక మల్లు హీరొయిన్, BOYS నుంచి 180 దాక ఒకే ఆక్షన్ చేస్తున్న తెలుగు తమిళ్ కాని హీరో, తమిళ్ డైరెక్టర్;

కాస్త అరవ వాసన, కాస్త పాచి (పాత కాలం CONCEPT) వాసన, వినబడని పాటలు, అర్థం కాని మాటలు ఇది 180 సినిమా తీరు. కాన్సెప్ట్ బానే ఉన్న తీసే పద్ధతిలో తీసి కాసిని మంచి పాటలు వేస్తే బానే ఉండాల్సిన సినిమా అమెరికా కి వెళ్ళిన పెట్టిన ఖర్చుల్లో సగం స్క్రీన్ ప్లే మీద, visuals కి ఇచ్చిన శ్రద లో సగం సంగీతం మీద పెట్టిన సినిమా బానే వచ్చేది. మొత్తానికి సినిమా బానే ఉంది కాని ధియేటర్ కి వెళ్లి ఈ సినిమా ఎందుకు చూడాలి అంటే సమాధానం లేదు. సీరియస్ సినిమా లో కామెడీ ని పెట్టాడు అనుకున్నాడో లేక కామెడియన్స్ కి బడ్జెట్ సరిపోలేదో కాని అది ఈ సినిమాకి పెద్ద మైనస్.

I recomend this movie to every wanna so that they can understand how a good subject can be made into disaster.

కొసమెరుపు: నంది అవార్డు నిత్య మీనన్ కి  వచ్చింది అన్నప్పటి కంటే ఈ సినిమా చూసినప్పుడు ఇంకా అసహ్యంగా ఉంది. she looks disaster in the movie.

Biography

No I am not talking about my Biography :) Jokes apart, you need not be Mahatma Gandhi or Abraham Lincoln to some one make your Biography. You can be Aron Ralston or Daniel Pearl who are stuck between Life and Death; eventually out of these two one is alive and another is Dead. coming straight to point these are true inspirations behind 127 Hours and A Mighty Heart.

It takes a great deal to turn biographies into movie and I should say the directors are upto mark for both these movies.

"127 Hours" is the true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston's adventure to save himself after a fallen boulder crashes on his arm and traps him in an isolated canyon in Utah. He suffers Over the next five days Ralston and finally discovers he has the courage and the wherewithal to extricate himself by any means necessary. He scales a 65 foot wall and hikes over eight miles before he is finally rescued. Throughout his journey, Ralston recalls friends, lovers, family, and the two hikers he met before his accident. How did he survive is interesting Point. A good film by Danny Boyle.

On January 23, 2002, Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl is to fly from Karachi to Dubai with his pregnant wife, Mariane, also a reporter. On the day before, with great care, he has arranged an interview in a café with an Islamic fundamentalist cleric. When Danny doesn't return, Mariane initiates a search. Pakistani police, American embassy personnel, and the FBI examine witnesses, phone records, e-mails, and hard drives. What happened to him is Great Tragedy. Angelina did live to the role of Mariane. film some what looks like biography, but its OK to watch.

Though Cast Away and Dasvidaniya arent inspired by true stories they look similar but have good commercial elements in them. (because you can induce as much fiction into those stories Unlike here)

Phut - Nagavalli, The spoof

Rarely we see a continuation of movie which is better than the original one. and In Telugu we dont find a single one good, simple reason we try to sell fruits by its trees name. we dont work much on the script work, people always try to go similar to the earlier script leaving the novelty apart.

One of those worst attempts is Nagavalli. when I first heard Chandramukhi-2 is made with Venkatesh I had a good expectations. I thought Venkatesh will add his experience to the subject, but now understood it is just a costly spoof of Chandramukhi.

Generally comedians like Ali and Venumadhav attempt to this as comedy bits in big movies, but this is a first time we saw a hero like Venkatesh do it. Doesn't it sound cool now. Does not it sooth that our heroes are trying to entertain us in different ways now. No, Come On. Take it light.

Movies without Brain

Last night while talking to Jyo, we were discussing that, not all movies make us to use our brain. Not all films do have technical values but they dont need to carry vulgar comedy or double meaning dialogues. Hearing to that I could only think of few actors like Allari naresh and rajendraprasad in Telugu.

Many of them in Hollywood take the role. They are cool too watch without using our brains like Allari Naresh movies, just dont think of much logic. These kind of movies are required as much as we need and Inception and Magadheera. They can be fun and cool. JUST ENJOY THE MOVIE.

The recent movies I enjoyed without using much of my brain or adopting the movie or characters:

SUPER BAD - Seth and Evan are best friends, inseparable, navigating the last weeks of high school. Usually shunned by the popular kids, Seth and Evan luck into an invitation to a party, and spend a long day, with the help of their nerdy friend Fogell, trying to score enough alcohol to lubricate the party and inebriate two girls, Jules and Becca, so they can kick-start their sex lives and go off to college with a summer full of experience and new skills. Their quest is complicated by Fogell's falling in with two inept cops who both slow and assist the plan. If they do get the liquor to the party, what then?

Knocked Up - When Alison Scott is promoted in E! Television, she goes to a night-club to celebrate with her older married sister Debbie. Alison meets the pothead reckless Ben Stone and while having a small talk with Ben, Debbie's husband Pete calls her to tell that their daughter has chicken pox. Debbie leaves the place but Allison stays with Ben, drinking and dancing along all night; completely wasted, they end up having a one night stand. Ben does not use condom and eight weeks later, Allison discovers that she is pregnant. She calls Ben and they decide to try to stay together and have the baby. However, Ben needs to grow-up first to raise a family of his own

Accepted - A high school slacker who's rejected by every school he applies to opts to create his own institution of higher learning, the South Harmon Institute of Technology, on a rundown piece of property near his hometown

bachelor Party - Rick Gassko is about to marry Debbie Thompson. Her parents hate him. Her old boyfriend hates him. They all have money and he gets a cut of the crap games on the catholic school bus he drives. His friends decide to give him the bachelor party of all bachelor parties with an expensive hotel, booze, movies and hookers. As the players catch wind of the elements of the party, each adds a little monkey wrench so that one set of hookers ends up giving demos at the bride's shower, the brides friends end up dressed as hookers in a room with a number of non English speaking Japanese business men, and so on as things get out of hand.

I Love You, Man - Peter Klaven's world revolves around his real estate work and Zooey, his soon-to-be fiancée. After he pops the question, she calls her best friends and they go into wedding planning mode. Peter has no male friends and that poses problems: will he turn out to be a clingy guy, and who will be his best man? Zooey, her friends, and Peter's brother Robbie offer help that results in awkward moments. Then, at an open house Peter's hosting, he meets Sydney, an amiable, low-key guy. They trade business cards, and Peter calls him to meet for drinks. A friendship develops that's great at first but then threatens Peter's engagement and career. Can guys be friends and couples be in love?

and last but not the least - our own allari naresh's Kathi Kantha Rao - Allari naresh rocks back with his timing and comedy. need no more intro - rite

watch them guys - sure you will enjoy your day.

Phut - SALT & The TOURIST

Enough of Hit and Hut's. two disasters I was most awaiting this year. both from the beauty queen AJ.

I dont want to criticise any of points, but I wish AJ had escaped the BLIND SPOTS on these movies.

one other terrible movie I watched this year was Viswanath sir's "Subhapradam" starring Naresh and Manjari. I never understood why Viswanath sir has made the movie and what did naresh like in the role except the point for it being directed by the KALATAPASVI.

HIT - UGLY TRUTH

Didn't I introduce this movie. Ohh Man, This Adult comedy flick is awesome (Don't watch this with family - no no you need hide and see this, after all this is not an adult movie :))

i would give all the credit of this movie to the casting director. The best casting I ever saw - Katherine Heigl & Gerard Butler. Ohh God I can write an essay all over the night about this simple movie.


In Sacramento, Abby Richter produces a morning news show that's about to be canceled. To boost ratings, her boss hires Mike Chadway, a local cable call-in host who promotes the ugly truth: sex is the only glue in a relationship, men can't change, and they only respond to women's looks. Mike offends Abby's sensibility: she has a checklist about the perfect man, and she's found him in her new neighbor, Colin, a hunky doctor. Mike offers to help her reel in Colin if she'll work with Mike on the show; she accepts the deal, ratings go up, and, with Mike's help, so does Colin's interest in her. Craig Ferguson, a hot air balloon, and the ugly truth help this take on "Cyrano" play out. (Written by for IMDB)

watch it and you will definitely love it

HUT - The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3

I am a huge fan of Denzel washington and loved most of his movies. there was time that I sat down to see his movies back2back (ofcourse i am doing it Tom hanks now). coming back, In this movie Denzel did show us why people would simply love him again and again, though his movies are not real commercial.

In early afternoon, four armed men hijack a subway train in Manhattan. They stop on a slight incline, decoupling the first car to let the rest of the train coast back. Their leader is Ryder; he connects by phone with Walter Garber, the dispatcher watching that line. Garber is a supervisor temporarily demoted while being investigated for bribery. Ryder demands $10 million within an hour, or he'll start shooting hostages. He'll deal only with Garber. The mayor okays the payoff, the news of the hostage situation sends the stock market tumbling, and it's unclear what Ryder really wants or if Garber is part of the deal. Will hostages, kidnappers, and negotiators live through this? (IMDB)

Make some time to watch this movie.


Director: Tony Scott
*ing: Denzel Washington

HIT - INCEPTION

Inception does not need a introduction and I would write nothing here. I would say - GUYS, JUST DONT MISS IT.

HUT - INK HEART

Few Movies come in our way as magic and Leave the same with us. They definately haount us for some time. One of it is "Ink Heart"

A young girl discovers her father has an amazing talent to bring characters out of their books and must try to stop a freed villain from destroying them all, with the help of her father, her aunt, and a storybook's hero. (IMDB)

I loved the characters in this mvie rather than the story and screenplay. every one of them were cast appropriately and I loved "Meggie" - sweet cute little girl

Director: Iain Softley

Brendan Fraser, Sienna Guillory, Eliza Bennett

Evergreen tv shows

Friends series - 6 friends live in an NY Apartment and thier relationships. Hard to control rolling on the floors for thier sensible humour - specially Rach & Joey. Simply love both of them. Their timing is vocublary

Kofee with karan- does anyone need introduction. Love his vocublary.

MOVIES THAT BRING LIFE BACK

Movies that I watch when I feel myself down.

TELUGU - NUVVU NAAKU NACHAV.
HINDI - JAB WE MET
ENGLISH - UGLY TRUTH & FRIENDS SERIES

Hut - Phas gaye re Obama

Rajat kapoor has always be promising actor. How bad ever the movie is, his performance will be good.


Phase Gaye Re Obama is a comedy set against the backdrop of global recession/meltdown that originated in USA.

The film traces the journey of Om Shashtri, an American citizen of Indian origin, who loses all his wealth overnight to the global recession and has been asked to vacate his home by the bank unless he pays $100,000 (mortgaged amount) within 30 days.

Seeing no other option Om comes to India to sell a small piece of an ancestral property. But within days of landing in India he is kidnapped by a 'recession-hit' underworld gang those who think that he is a millionaire.

What happens to Om, is he able to save his home, how did the 'poor' gangster cope with their 'poor' catch & what do small town Indian gangsters have to say to President Obama... largely forms the rest of the story. (SOURCE- WIKI)

Definately, This is a good attempt and a must watch movie.

HUT... A JOB TO KILL FOR

ETV is the only Telugu (may be Indian channel) which still produces TV movies to promote Suman Babu, and most of the TV movies are boring with underlying message to the society or something. thats the reason I never watched any of those movies. Last week while I was browsing some channel and came across this movie. A JOB TO KILL FOR.

A Top advertising industry manager Jennifer seems to have it all as a senior creative executive. But when she enlists a beautiful young professional to help save a major account, she gets far more than she bargained for. Dangerously imbalanced, this right-hand woman will stop at nothing — even seduction and murder — to bring success their way.

Directed by Bill Corcoran, With Sean Young & Georgia Craig

Best movie ever

ever wondered whats the best movie ever made - The Shawshank Redemption (1994) followed by The Godfather 1 & 2

what in Telugu. I would say Mayabazar followed missamma and Saagara sangamam

Hut - BIG


I thought our directors can only make remake movies from Hollywood. Today I feel they even cant do that properly. In 1988 Tom Hanks made movie "BIG" which is about a small boy turning to 30. Did you get that - yes, mahesh babu was casted and SJ Suriya made it as Nani. If you watch both films, you understand why Telugu film industry sucks.

However coming to "BIG" - A young boy makes a wish at a fairground machine to be big. He wakes up the following morning to find that his wish has been granted and his body has grown older over night. But he is still the same 12 year old kid on the inside. Now he must learn how to cope with the unfamiliar world of grown ups including getting a job, and having his first romantic encounter with a woman. What will he find out about this strange world?

Cast: Tom Hanks, Elizabeth Perkins
Director: Penny Marshall

HIT - CAST AWAY


Welcome to new my new blog. This is to introduce Good Movies "I HAVE SEEN" recently and want you guys to see and discuss failed movies. Jumping into the matter - >

Two Tom Hanks movies back to back today. One of them which was brilliantly executed and MUST watch.



IMDB description: After FedEx systems engineer Chuck Noland is ripped out of his hasty life by the clock in a plane crash, he finds himself alone on the shores of a tropical island. First, frustration gets to him and then he realizes how little his chances are to ever get back to civilization. Four years later, Chuck has learned very well how to survive on his own: mending his dental health, catching fish with a spear, predicting the weather with a self-made calendar. A photograph of his girlfriend Kelly has kept his hopes alive all these years. Finally, Chuck takes the opportunity to take off for home: He sets off on a wooden raft with a sail that has washed ashore.

Cast : Tom Hanks, Helen Hunt
Director: Robert Zemeckis
