Kabali (2016)
1/10
Sad...Really Sad
24 July 2016
I really don't know what to say about this movie, me being a fan of Rajani sir…..it is a total disaster, I don't know what the director was thinking and how he convinced Talaivar to do this particular film.

Absolutely no story line which is gripping, there is no concept of old wine in a new bottle…..he (director) just messed up with so many people's expectations and emotions……one should not toy with people like this.

The movie is so cheap looking just like a B grade movie (I would say C grade but I could not because of Rajanikanth)

There are no actors in the movie other than Thalivar himself and except glimpses of Nasser and Radhika Apte….rest all are like rode side beggars picked from side walk…I cant even say over they overacted… they don't know how to act……it is so degrading of Rajani sir in this movie.

How can someone make a mess out of Rajani sir's dates and call sheets….it takes special talent to do something like this….and this director did best of it……by far the WORST film Rajani sir did…..if I start what is worst in the film it is an endless list….I couldn't find anything good other than Thalivar in this movie.

Even Rajaini sir also should take some special care on his films from now on….there were companies which declared holiday on the release day…..no other actor or star has that status today…he also have to take some responsibility. I really din't understand "who is experimenting with whom" …director with Rajani sir or Rajani sir with with new director….but the outcome is an absolute disaster…..they could have presented the movie as "Kundana Valli" instead of "Kabali".

It's really SAD.

Predestination (I) (2014)
8/10
wow!! Simply Superb!!
11 December 2014
Sometimes I fail to understand why such great movies don't get the recognition and applause they deserve.

This movie makes you realize that you don't need out of the world budget, super stars & stunning visuals to make a great film. Good script, direction, screenplay, camera work & music can keep you hooked to the screen and this film has proved it yet again.

I don't want to discuss much about the story, as the trailer and the description say it deals with time travel but in a very unique way.

Watch it guys....It's worth every bit of whatever you spend on it...MONEY, TIME, THOUGHT (after watching it) or even the broadband bandwidth to download it.....just don't miss it.

Brilliant !!
27 March 2014
Brilliant film making !!

To start with I had no idea what this movie was about. All I thought was "might be another action sci-fi flick" but trust me there are many angles to look at this movie. The director's vision was something very extraordinary, he blended many flavors with great conviction. Every detail and line spoken has some importance in the story and every scene has something you have to remember so that you can flash as the story goes along, not even one reel of film wasted I suppose.

I don't want to narrate the story here, but the movie portrays a little bit of humanity and how humans react in different situations. This is not a drama or an action or a thriller and definitely not a comedy, I am not able to judge want genre this belongs to……may be an action mixed drama…not sure :-)

Watch the movie with an open mind, I am pretty sure you will like it.

I enjoyed it, great direction !!

Life is so Beautiful !!

I wont make it lengthy, just watch this movie with an open mind and more importantly heart. It is so beautiful, one feel good film.

Forget who made this movie, who acted and who reviewed it.....just watch and enjoy.

I am pretty sure you will have a smile on your face and a heart filled with joy and happiness at the end.

Hats-off for all those involved with this movie, including the audience who appreciated it !!

Now, I just cant stop myself from praising Mr.Eastwood, this is a masterpiece from him.

~~~~ Jesse James ~~~~
12 September 2013
I am not sure if reviewing this tile after 12 years would help anyone, but I am……here we goo

To start with honestly, I am writing this in the middle of the movie, because I could not take hearing the name "Jesse James" anymore. I am not sure if the outlaw named "Jesse James" ever existed or not but I am already irritated with him just because of this movie. Colin Farrell's performance as "Jesse James" is just lame and irritating always trying to buy his way out with what he might have thought is a "charismatic smile" but that didn't work out (for me at least).

The only thing that stands out other than the name "Jesse James" in the movie is Gabriel Macht's performance as Frank James, he did a really good honest job. I am going to see the rest of the movie just for him.

After writing all this, I am not trying to saying that it is a bad movie, it was a nice time pass flick with some other decent performances from Scott Caan and Timothy Dalton, it's just that the name "Jesse James" was used so much that it irritates you at one point. We all must have heard some names many times in movies i.e. James Bond, Indiana Jones, John Connor…...etc. etc. They never irritated me………but this "Jesse James" really did a good job in that department.

Watch it, but be prepared for "Jesse James".

What Is The Point ?
15 August 2013
Yes, what is the point? I couldn't figure out what the makers of the movie are trying to say. The trailer looked as if it is an action packed flick and it started likewise but seriously it goes no were…drags on and on with some confession s**t going on between the two leads.

Two sophisticated and excellent actors wasted on this movie, only thing good about this movie is the acting….but honestly you will get bored of it too…..just because there no plot and proper script.

Anyone who is a fan of Robert De Niro or John Travolta what this movie to see your favorite actor…..rest all…please don't waste your time on this.

I watched it because I like both the actors and I felt sorry from them, maybe I saw the movie in a wrong angle (I couldn't find any other) OR the makers made it in a wrong angle ;-)

A Little More Budget
6 July 2013
Yes, I am right….somewhat nicely done movie, OK OK script, OK OK actors but amazing locations….with a little more budget, the movie would have been better (better graphics and make up…which are very essential for such kind of a plot)

I am not recommending this flick as a must watch…..but is you happen to see it you will feel the same and sad for the movie. The girl (Danielle Chuchran) did a good job.

One thing that I can say that you will feel sorry for the movie but you will NOT get bored.

Watch it if you are a fantasy fan…story is good.

Java Heat (2013)

Surprisingly Interesting & Nice !!
4 June 2013
To start with, a very well sorted plot, story and good screenplay. The movie keeps getting you interested even in some dull scenes. Overall a very well written script and screenplay….good acting by Ario Bayu…I thought he did an excellent job in this movie.

Yeah…action is missing in some scenes but there is enough to enjoy !!… would have been a great movie if there were some more action packed scenes. I don't want to take away the credit from the director….he did a nice job but he could have done better with all the ingredients he had (plot, story, actors and locations)….nevertheless decent action flick.

Recommended from my side :-)

very predictable and nothing new.
3 June 2013
I mean even for the hardcore action fans out there this flick is not interesting or exciting, just by roping some big and known names won't work. Plot "a hotshot cop teaming up with an assassin" seems to be EXCITING initially but it gets wavered in the beginning itself….and then everything seems to be happening right for them (Stallone & Sung Kang) …..no matter what the hero and bad guy must survive in the most unexpected ways and situations.

I am not saying that this flick is a disaster, but watch it when you have nothing to do, it just goes ooonnn…even if you are napping you don't have to bother rewinding…. you will know what exactly is happening…unless you nap till the very END.

I am sorry if I have given a bad review, but I expected more from this movie.

I want my one and half hours back.
7 March 2013
Not sure what the director was thinking while he made this movie, I feel nothing but sorry for all those people involved in the film. Nothing in the movie seems to be convincing at all. I admit I watched many bad movies but this one just topped the list. A group of teenagers except one with absolutely no combat experience or training taking on the North Korean army…come ooonn' there has to be something better to think or imagine.

You won't get back the one and half hours of your life back, please don't waste it on this movie. Do something better or even watch one of your favorite movies again.

Absolute waste of time, highly NOT recommended.
