Well, looks like it s raining movies here!
I saw two more ... Ninaithale inikkum and Unnaipol Ourvan (UPO)...
The first one was ok... not very impressive. But it was definitely ok after Kandasamy.
Only the last fifteen minutes of the first half were gripping, which made us stay till the end (we had planned to walk out in the interval). The songs are catchy. I liked Shakti's character and his performance. Could not accept Prithviraj as a college student (even though it was final year).
Overall... Not bad
UPO was good one... Had just seen "A wednesday" last week... So, no big suspense factor. But for the "K" factor (you know, the usual "peter" stuff from Kamal),the movie was nice with neat performances by all. Thouroughly enjoyed the movie as it was short and sweet... just for 2 hrs.
I guess a detailed review will spoil the "suspense" element, if you have not seen the movie... So, I will stop with this :)
Ok... I will take a break from my movie reviews in my next post.

Kandasamy.. Nondhasamy... Venthasamy
Ya... you must have guessed from the title... I DIDNT like the movie...
Heard from some people that the movie is sick.. but didnt have much choice as we wanted to go for "some" movie.. this was the only one available (well, atleast THAT should have made me think!)
Let me first list down what all I didnt like in the movie (though the other way would be shorter!)
1. This is about a "super hero"... He sings, dances, and "cock-a-doodle-do"s before hitting the bad guy
2. The heroine is the villian s daughter (no points for guessing this) who hardly wears anything... She really spoilt the songs and some scenes because of her dresses , voice (which didnt suit her at all) and her bad lip sync.
3. The songs were a big disappointment... I liked the audio of some of them ... the visuals were sick...also, the dance for "Allegra" was pathetic...
4. The plot itself is a big minus... Though the director claims that the story was written before Anniyan...we cant help feeling that we are watching a "jugalbandi" of all (or most of) Shankar s movies. There is nothing new..
5. The length of the movie... the second half just keeps going on and on and on and on...
6. Though the script didnt have anything very interesting, the first half was tolerable... in the second half of the story, the director seemed to be lost. He brought in himself as an "important" character and bugged us to death...
7. Everyone in the movie... (except Prabu and the villian) is helping the hero... very bugging beyond a point...
8. Vadivelu's comedy... very pathetic.
Ok... stop calling me a pessimist... I also liked somethings in the movie..
1. Songs (but not all..just 3... there s this song dedicated for PIZZA... how cool na?grrrrr !!!!)
2. Music
3. Background score
aaaaaa ok... ya, I mean in other words... Music only.
I know this is a high budget movie made with a good intention... adopting villages stuff. They could have adopted some more villages if they didnt waste so much money on this movie
If you have seen this movie, hope you will understand my feelings (sob!)
If you are going to watch it... dont tell me I didnt warn you.
Keep smiling :)

It s my life!
Ever noticed how priorities keep changing for all of us?
I have noticed that...
Well, when I was in school, I had no priorities.... probably, I didnt think much.... used to live life "Just like that"... no tension... no worries... My friends J & B will know ... It was FUN.
In college, things started changing... esp in the 3rd and 4th year... exams... placements... etc etc
End of college, when my parents started the Great Groom Search (ok... I AM exaggerating), things started changing again... Who, where, what , how etc etc.
The D Day came soon when I met Prabu... Liked his family so much... And when we were talking.... Took a glance at him....ya, maybe, that s him!!! And so it was....
Since then my life has been revolving around him...
So many changes... But life is just getting better each time...(of course with its roller coaster ups and downs).
But over all, when I take a look at my life...I feel that everything s for good... I have always wanted to be in a family like this... and I feel sometimes, that I have always got more than what I wanted / asked for....
Maybe that s why (and that s when), God gave me a push...
probably to remind myself that Life is a mixture of everything...
probably to make me understand how strong I am...
probably for making me understand how nice and supportive people are around me...
whatever, I still have no regrets... I still am happy to be where I am... God has His own plans for me... I will accept whatever He gives... Smiling as always... :)
Because when He gave me good things (more than I expected), I never complained... So, now, when He s showing me the other side, I think it is my duty to accept this also.
What say friends? :)

Nothing Much to say....
Dont ask me why I am blogging when I have nothing much to say....
Blogging has always been like a vent... a place for me to write about my feelings... But I have never blogged about my problems... and I dont want to write about negative stuff in my life...
But this month has been very bad... so bad that words just fail to fall in place.
I just want to say that may God give us all enough strength to face the problems... however big they may be.
I was not blogging for sometime because I was feeling shattered and hopeless. It has taken some time for me to be myself... I have not recovered completely.
Ya, I know... things will be better soon.... Dont worry.... etc etc... Cos I ve been listening to lots of advises...
I guess I will be fine in about a month or so....
God bless everyone.

New York!
Saw this movie last week.
I expected a romantic comedy stuff... as I had not read any reviews... But this one was totally different.
A view of 9/11.. A totally different view of the tragedy.
The movie was very serious... with some timing comedy from Irfan (needless to say... great perfomance).
The characterisation was good. Neil fit the bill of an innocent, goody goody person.
John also lives as his character of a fighter / bully. But I felt Katrina Kaif was looking very old.. esp in the college track.
The story begins with an innocent Neil, being trapped by FBI. While we are wondering... "what s happening???", the story moves to the flashback... to the college days of these 3 people... and the friendship btwn them...
Just after Neil proposes to Katrina,there comes the attack of 9/11... and our hero, Neil, who realises that Katrina loves John, leaves their lives...
The flashback ends here.
Now, the FBI suspects John to be a terrorist... and they want Neil to help them for this.
The story then follows lots of twist and turns... With a "not-so-happy" ending.
The songs just come as a part of the movie... they are not shot separately in exotic locales, but just come along with the story... This is a good relief!
The picturisation is lovely...
Overall, Nice movie!
