Spoiling The Classic



Rating : * *1/2

In spite of the great hype created and a hell lot of expectations from cinema lovers,this movie is a set back to the old "Billa".It fails to deliver any such entertainment and you cannot find any new twist in the story.
Director Vishnuvardhan is a versatile director known for his youth and experienced direction.Unlike Arindhum Ariyamalum,his previous venture,he fails to show any of his talent.

In short,this movie is a mix of the hindi Don(2006) and story wise remake of tamil Billa(1980).

Starting from the first frame :


The introduction scene of Ajith is an "already seen" Rajinikanth's style which will not san any logic when the superstar himself performs it but this time,hey,its just the "Ultimate Star".

Then comes ajith's first dialogue "Check Mate" with a south indian accent and then a slash of a sword onto cut a person's neck.

Nayanthara looks damn sexy and does some changes to your hormones.But her role in the movie is not explained properly as to how she gets caught by the police.


Namitha is just an eye wash in the movie,no use of her except for her comedy dressing and dancing.

Comparing the movie with SRK's Don,this movie can't even come closer to it.
Ajith definitely looks god damn stylish but his dialogue delivery is not upto the mark.He certainly is the best person for this role but unfortunately fails to do it properly.
There are a lot of loop holes in the movie where you can sense that the director hasn't explained few things properly.The answer to that is he hasn't thought of anything new from his own brain.The Story might seem new to few people but to those people who watch quality movies might have a bitter view of it even though it looks stylish.


The Way Jagdeesh(Rahman) comes into the police is vastly researchable and there are many unwanted glimpses of Anil(as the name of the character played in the movie) being a villianish type.
DSP Jay Prakash(Prabhu) has done quite well except for his so called intro scene where he just turns around his chair expecting a lot from the audience which he ultimately didn't get any response from the audience.

The "Sei" song is picturised beautifully and choreographed also because it is the only song where one can see something called DANCE exists in this movie.

Ajith seems to have learned his Singaporean language well using the words "CAN, CANA and LA" frequently.

Oh ya, i forgot ajith had donned a dual role.One is called Billa and the other Velu.The velu character was acted well by him and not to forget Santhanam has done a great job providing laudable comedy and to ajith "Man,he dances better than you.......so sorry to say!"

Finally,coming to the only heroes of the movie ,Yuvan Shankar Raja,the music director, and the cinematographer,Nirav Shah.Amazing background music and camera work.Those were the only plus points in the movie which made it look like a hollywood flick.

Hope you liked the review,please post comments.

Review : I am Legend (2007)



Complicated science fiction!!!!!

Rating : **

Starring : Will Smith, Alice Braga, Dash Mihok, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Charlie Tahan

Genre : Action/Adventure, Science Fiction/Fantasy, Thriller, Adaptation and Remake

Release Date :
December 14th, 2007 (wide)


This movie made me think right from the beginning.I read many reviews written for this movie by famous and experienced critics but all seem to tell the same thing that Richard Neville (Will Smith) is a scientist who tries to cure a deadly virus.When i started seeing the movie, i couldn't find any place where they say that he is trying to do so.Someone creates a cure for cancer and then it turns into a deadly virus.I cannot understand how it turns out to be so.There a lot many flaws in the movie and places where you can clearly understand that the movie isn't conveying.Maybe the director wants you to chat with him while watching the movie.




During the movie,Will Smith keeps getting flashes of the past where you can see the above scene.One thing i couldn't understand is that an airplane lashes over the sky bombing the bridge,but the thing is who pilots the plane and why do they have to bomb the bridge.Whoof..it is a very complicated movie.

I just cannot understand why the critics liked the movie so much, i mean there is nothing that great in the movie that is laudable except for the breathtaking sounds which shock you and also the wonderful graphics which is superb.The screenplay of the movie is good.Though,Will Smith is known for his acting,there wasn't any scope for him to show more of his talent.


Coming back to the story -
Samantha (Sam) is his only companion in this so called abandoned "New York City" but suddenly one day,some kind of aliens or humans affected by the virus attack Neville and Sam but unfortunately Sam gets infected and turns wild and Neville is persuaded to kill him.So Neville is angry and decides to kill the infected humans and goes on to do so,only to get caught.But then, a woman comes and saves him from those infected,saying that she'd heard Neville's appeal in the radio to help the human survivors.

The movie is total crap and unbelievable.There is no "IMPACT" on our brain after seeing this movie.One has to read the director's script or the so called wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Legend) in order to understand the movie.

People,you can watch the movie for Will Smith , for the music and for the graphics in some parts.Otherwise the movie is useless and only confuses your brain.

Verdict : A Sci-Fi which can only be understood by the geniuses.


My Next Review : BILLA (2007)
Please do comment about this review for those who have or haven't seen the movie.

Review : Sivaji (2007)



COOL - thats how the movie is.
ேபர ேகட்டவுடேன சும்மா அதுறுதுல!!!!!!

Rating : ****

I don't know whether i can express all my feelings about the movie in writing but i suggest you people that when you are going to watch the movie you have to have a different mindset.A mindset of enjoyment and telling your brain not to think that the movie sans logic.

Though the movie has unbelievable stunts which will literally make you laugh when you see any other hero performing it but don't forget that in this movie the hero is our SUPERSTAR.

The movie is fun to watch and i didn't get bored watching it 2 times in fact i have decided my third trip to the theater to watch the movie.

So i suggest you people to watch the movie in the theater and experience the ambience.

I have given a rating of 4 stars which doesn't mean that the movie deserves an oscar or any kind of award except that of "Best Hype Creator".The movie was expected with a lot of hype and our superstar doesn't fail to deliver it.He has put in his 100% efforts in order to satisfy not only his fans but also others.



Director Shankar has tried to attract the fans of two big young heroes of tamil cinema,"Ultimate Star" Ajith and "Ilayathalapathy" Vijay by rendering a famous dialogue and dancing for the hero's song respectively.

The cinematographer K.V.Anand needs an applause for his beautiful picturisation of songs and fight scenes.

Art Director Thotta Tharani's experience is seen in the movie through his sets.

The background music is just amazing.no wonder why the "ARR" tag is so valuable.

Vivek has done a fabulous job.all his dialogues got the audience laughing instead of giving an awkward look.

Shriya is the right choice for the heroine.she is so beautiful though only with make up.


NOTE: The following is just the basic storyline of the movie and doesn't reveal any other interesting sequences in the movie.

STORYLINE : Sivaji returns from USA after earning a lot of money.He is very astonished to see big buildings in Chennai but after seeing a beggar on the road,he learns that still poverty hasn't gone from India.So he invests all his money to start "Sivaji Foundations" which will run schools,hospitals,colleges,etc and provide service to people free of cost.The "king maker" of Chennai gets to know this and fears that his industries,schools,colleges will suffer badly if sivaji continues the project.So he decides to take everything from sivaji and make him come to the middle of the street(literally translated from tamil).After this whatever happens is exciting and thrilling and...... sorry no words to describe.
Why not you people watch it in the theater and find it yourself.


Verdict : Everyone is at their best in this blockbuster movie.Worth watching twice just for fun and time pass.Make sure you go to the movie with your friends so that you can enjoy it more.

Review : Pirates Of The Caribbean At World's End (2007)


ENTERTAINING BUT MAKES US THINK!

Rating : ***3/4

Genre : Action/Adventure , Sequel

Release Date : June 1 (India) , May 25 ( world wide)


This Trilogy is so far, the next best trilogy to Lord Of The Rings.It is because no one gets disappointed on seeing any of the 3 movies.

I Still don't understand why the distributors postponed the release to june 1 in India.I heard they feared of spiderman 3.but my opinion is that this movie is a 100 times better than spiderman 3 and the trilogy too is far more entertaining than spidey.

The first half was a certain drag, though there were important scenes in it.they could have edited it well or made it even more interesting.i frankly believe that it is hard to understand the movie by watching it once.though i figured it out quite properly.

The movie can't be said as a total let down but it surely entertains us to the max.

The Background score,the camera work,graphics (in the scenes of multiple jack sparrows) everything has to be given full credit.Mainly the story part,they never went out of it,stuck on to the script not showing extraordinary and unbelievable twists.

I Wonder why many people didn't come to watch it,was it due to the postponed release that many people thought of watching pirates movie in a pirated VCD/DVD.That doesn't become legal in this case.



Coming to the main person,Mr. or Capt.Jack Sparrow (Isn't that COOL),the most down to earth actor in Hollywood i have ever seen.I don't think anybody could even replace his role in the movie.I consider him as the "Kamal Hassan" of Hollywood.

The Movie is worth watching not once but more than once.(sounds awkward)

STORYLINE : I am not quite sure of it but let me not spoil your wait for watching the movie.
In few words, Capt.Jack Sparrow comes back and with a bang,new characters get introduced and existing characters get to have unforeseen "truths" in their roles.Davy Jones and his love, both are destroyed.New captain of the sea is christened (of course because of jack sparrow).And more importantly stop waiting for a fourth movie because they can't drag it anymore.


ON THE WHOLE, it is a Awesome entertainer which of course most likely cannot be watched with the whole family not only due to the scenes which run through your mind while reading these lines but also due to the violence and "yucky" characters.

FINAL VERDICT : Must watch for Johnny Depp fans

Third Best Trilogy after Lord of the Rings and The Matrix



NOTE : The following paragraph is only for the people who live in chennai and watch this movie in english and also before june 15.

And the most important thing not to miss in the movie was the trailor of our tamil "Superstar" Rajni's SIVAJI.well,we cheered for this trailer and we had plans not to miss it even before we thought of buying the tickets for the movie but then we saw it on the big screen and enjoyed it shouting to the core.we were also shown trailers of upcoming worthwatching movies such as "Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix" scheduled to release in july and also not to forget the next Disney-Pixar combine " " (sorry can't spell the movie).

Review : Mr.Bean's Holiday (2007)




DOES HE NEED AN INTRODUCTION??????


Rating : ***1/2


Here comes the "Universal Comedian" (not yet patented.......its my title for him).......everyone knows that this guy (Hon.Mr.Rowan Atkinson) can make anyone laugh right from the age of 1 to 99 (or maybe even higher like infinity.......ok sorry bad joke).......he does this in this movie too...

i think this movie is a better choice than spiderman 3 though......the whole family might enjoy only if you see it in theatre or in a good quality home video........i saw it the second way......

Mr.Bean is back with a bang into movies from his previous movie exactly a decade ago.....
his earlier movie (as Mr.Bean) was "Bean : The Ultimate Disaster Movie (1997)"......that was a very good movie......and this movie also lives upto its expectations.......

there is no funny part in the movie........the whole movie is funny........





the movie is an out and out comedy movie.........rowan has acted superbly........he has shown some of his acting talent......acts out his sentimental scenes very nicely......

the one scene in which he comes in disguise as a granny is cool.......

so people, i suggest you watch this movie.......it will be a very good feast to the eyes.....in the sense....the lush green fields are very pleasant to the eyes.......


the background music had been done well.........just appropriate to the scenes.....

the introduction of mr.bean is very good.........for only those who have been watching his TV series.......

STORYLINE : the movie opens with Mr.Bean attending a "RAFFLE" (check the dictionary...i am not very familiar with this word).......he wins a trip to Europe.......he brings his "great" digital video camera with him and shoots almost "everything" with it........he then boards a train to paris (the train is amazing actually).....he asks one guy(he is actually a famous director going to "CANNES" film festival..........it is revealed at the end) to shoot a video of himself.....the guy misses the train though mr.bean gets in.........then he finds that the guy had brought along his son also with him who is left alone in the train.......his father then tells him to get down at the next stop........unfortunately mr.bean also gets down at the next stop........by mistake........and is not be able to get back into the train.......then the boy's father comes in another train.......which unfortunately doesn't stop at that particular station........so he writes down his telephone number in a chart and shows it to the boy........he writes down only 8 numerals and will not be able to write down the last two numbers.......then mr.bean with his amazing brain writes down all sorts of combinations of the next two numerals in the phone number........he wastes all of his money and also loses his passport......after this what ever happens is...............DISASTER.......check it out your self.............


BOTTOM LINE : All the TRUE Mr.Bean fans will have a very good time........
DISASTER has a passport........


so i recommend you people to watch the movie.....

and to those people who will be anxious to know where i saw the movie....as it hasn't released yet in chennai....my close friends.......will surely know the answer..........

will meet you soon.......

my heartiest thanks to the people who spend their time to read this blog........

Review : Spiderman 3 (2007)


THE MOVIE SUCKS TO THE CORE!!!


RATING : **1/2


people, i do not recommend you to watch the movie in THEATRE.......please don't waste your precious money on it......i spent abt 115 bucks + another 50 bucks for popcorn.......i am too disappointed.........though the movie has been breaking record collections........it hasn't lived up to the hype that was created before the release of the movie........


such a waste of time.........the movie didn't even get over while people started leaving the theatre......there is absolutely nothing in the movie.......except the VISUAL EFFECTS.....it was just unbeatable and breath taking.....though unbelievable......


i have given a 2.5 rating out of 5 for the movie and the 2.5 is totally dedicated to the VFX and the lighter part of the movie.........


the movie could have been more shorter......maybe 2 hrs less.....lol......

the screenplay is too bad........

no logical part in the movie......

those science buffs might wonder when the killer of peter's uncle gets trapped in a fully functioning "PARTICLE ACCELERATOR" it moves at very high speeds........but the person caught in it keeps standing at one place............that is never possible.......if only u had known about a particle accelerator.......it touches speed "close"(remember this is a blog related to definition and i can't define what "close" means ) to that of light.....


the most funniest part of the movie is when : Peter Parker ends the movie with the dialogue........".........we have to make a choice..........."......yes indeed we have to make a choice whether to watch the movie or not.....


BOTTOM LINE : when you are ready to watch the movie..........just imagine......what would happen when comic strips get converted into film reels.......that should be preset in your mind....


ENJOY some good movies which i recommend..........(i do not recommend this movie)


movies lined up this year (the ones worth watching.......though can't decide that yet....)

not in the order if release :
Pirates Of The Caribbean 3
Ocean's 13
Rush Hour 3
Sivaji
Dasavatharam
Harry Potter and The Order Of The Phoenix




will meet you soon with another "SOMETHING" which lies in the domain of - infinity to + infinity

Thursday, May 10, 2007

starting with defining infinity

my personal opinion is that.........there is no meaning for the word "definition"..
it varies from person to person.......what is the domain for defining anything.......no one can really....stop at one place and say that i've finished defining.......it goes on and on

how can one define infinity........our math professors say that there is nothing called infinity.........because there is no end for counting......jus as there is no end to this world......

wondering what "at world's end" means in the pirates 3 movie title.......


the only reason for this post in my blog is that the blog's name is defininginfinity.....
it might seem a little........overdose of unimaginable and boring facts...but still.....i wanted to write what i thought of it......

my next few posts might make u judge what sort of a person i am......

will be back soon
