G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra – Review

9.5 out of 10

Yo Joe!  Stephen Sommers big screen adaption of the popular toy property is exactly what it should be; it is a big, loud, fun, action packed, kick ass summer popcorn movie that perfectly captures the spirit of the cartoons and comic books from the 80’s.  I can tell you right now that any bad reviews you’ve read are from critics who clearly don’t get the appeal of the Real American Heroes.  Fortunately for us, Sommers does.  Whether you’re a fan of G.I. Joe (I am) or just like big budget, action spectacles, you will enjoy every pulse pounding moment of The Rise of Cobra.

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE – REVIEW

3 out of 10

Thanksgiving has come early for Warner Bros. as Where the Wild Things Are is one big, fat turkey.  A movie for grownups masquerading as a kids flick, Wild Things doesn’t succeed on either level and in turn polarizes both of its audiences.  Who was this film made for?  I’ll answer my own question.  Director/writer Spike Jonze has made a self indulgent mess of a movie strictly for himself.

TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN – REVIEW

7.5 out of 10

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is one of a schizophrenic movie!  There are parts that are terrific, high octane fun and there are parts that are so bad you can’t help but cringe during them.  Fallen also strives to be more adult than the original featuring more suggestive dialogue and sexual situations than the first film, but at the same time is geared more towards kids.  I realize that doesn’t make much sense, but here is a perfect example.  There are two new Autobots (the good guys) named Skids and Mudflap who are solely in the movie to provide comic relief and crack up youngsters.  The only problem is that these characters curse quite a few times.  It seems like a rather odd contradiction to me.  Kids run out and buy the toy versions of these lovable, silly robots… just don’t repeat any of their dialogue from the movie!  All in all, the good outweighs the bad, but the first film is way superior.

I am certainly one of the people who was really looking forward to watching this movie because the book, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior, did have a significant impact on my life when I read it about 15 years ago. I was not disappointed.

Is Ghajini, like every Aamir Khan movie, a flick with a difference? Not at all, it has the clichéd ‘good triumphs over the evil’ subject, which you may be watching for the 117th time. If you look at the basics of Ghajini, it is your usual revenge drama that the sort of Ajay Devgans and Mithuns would dabble in the early 90s. But what livens up the film; makes you stand up and notice is its treatment. Action has been one genre which was relegated to the background with comedies and candifloss romances warming up the box office for nearly a decade. Ghajini brings the ‘action’ back into your life.

Story of Ghajini
Aamir Khan suffers from acute short term memory loss because he is hit on the head by the villain Pradeep Rawat, who also kills Aamir’s girlfriend Asin. Aamir Khan has to fight his handicap of ‘ short term memory loss’ while his mind is working overtime seeking vengeance. He cannot remember anything more than 15 minutes, yet with determination and logic, sets cues that make him disciplined enough to seek vengeance. He has cues written on his body including Polaroids which aid him in memory and recall. Jiah Khan, a medical research student who has her eyes on Aamir as an object of scientific experimentation, initially perceives Aamir as a threat. After coming to know more about his background and the tragedy that befell him, she seeks to help him out. How Aamir gets his revenge forms the rest of the plot. But it not as simple as it seems, the plot is rivetingly complex.

Technical aspects of Ghajini
The strong point of Ghajini is its screenplay and its script. There is enough content in the movie for you to lap up 3 hour and 15 minutes span of the movie. Ghajini has been splendidly directed by A.Murgadoss who has taken pain to ensure that finer points of the movie are taken care of. The hall mark of an interesting screenplay, Ghajini shuffles intelligently between the placid past, the troubled present, back into the romantic past before zeroing into the present with vengeance.

Not one single scene seems to be in waste and every sequence seems to compliment the plot of the film. The climax scene is raw and sordid, as Aamir uses brute force to bash up villains to pulp, while chasing Pradeep Rawat in revengeful angst. The chasing scene through the dingy lane has been shot beautifully to the credit of camera man Ravi K. Chandran who has shot scenes with remarkable elan.

A.R.Rahman’s music is a soother to the fast tempo of the film, especially the Kaise Mujhe song which is placed at Ghajini’s most sensitive moment. Murgadoss has made sure that the songs do not overwhelm the movie and has even intelligently snipped a significant part of the Latoo number, so that the pace is not hindered.

Best scenes of Ghajini and plus points of Ghajini
1. Asin and Aamir Khan share a pleasant chemistry. Scenes where Kalpana(Asin) flaunts that Sanjay(Aamir Khan) the owner of Air Voice mobile, is her boyfriend, without even having met him, is funny . The fact that Asin dies in the movie without ever realizing who her boyfriend really is, is touching.
2. Romance has not been given a step motherly treatment in Ghajini. Murgadoss cooks up enough romantic situations between the lead pair, with the right amount of sensitivity and depth
3. The superb picturization of the ‘Behka Behka’ number.
4. The raw action scene at the climax.

Minus points of Ghajini:
The Tamil version had the villain in a double role, which perplexes the hero. Doing the same would have added more depth in Hindi Ghajini, and give it a touch of ‘difference’. Also the fight scenes could have been more imaginative.

Performances of Ghajini
Asin looks refreshing and beautiful. She infuses life in Ghajini, so to say with her cherubic, chirpy role. In fact, Asin is the most talkative character in the film, while Aamir is the least. Asin looks curvy, womanly and ‘real’ compared to the lifeless size zeroes cutting a sorry figure in Bollywood. Asin is quite comfortable in the role of Kalpana, which she has essayed for the second time. Her screen presence is remarkable; you miss her bubbly presence after she dies in the film.

The villain Pradeep Rawat is menacing and good enough for you to hate him. The lifeline of Ghajini is volcano of volatile talent-Aamir Khan. He fits the character like a glove and he is remarkably efficient in both the aspects of his character-the owner of Air Voice Mobile madly in love with Asin and also as the psycho character, who cannot remember anything beyond 15 minutes. Vulnerability and Violence are performed with clinical perfection by this acting maestro AK. Aamir Khan’s is truly an award winning performance. His body language and eyes venture far beyond what a standard dialogue would.

Verdict on Ghajini:
The Hindi Ghajini replicates the Tamil Ghajini movie scene by scene, except for little amendments. Most of the people in the team are the same including Asin, villain Pradeep Rawat and even the director Murgadoss. The major difference is the treatment of the climax. To sum up, Ghajini is not path breaking cinema, but it is entertainment laden, adrenalin pumping, visual treat at its best. Watch it in the theater, for total entertainment!

One of the defining movies of the 80’s decade, The Breakfast Club remains an entertaining film which evokes nostalgia among many viewers. Inevitably, any foray into the cinema blockbusters of the 1980s will evoke a number of titles, such as Back To The Future, Beverly Hills Cop, or The Goonies. The Breakfast Club is certainly one of those films, and it’s almost universally cited as one of the preeminent films from the era. If you enjoy relationship films, it’s easy to see why, because The Breakfast Club is a movie built solely on the strength of its characters and the conflict surrounding them.

Shermer High School principal Richard Vernon (Paul Gleason) oversees the Saturday morning detention of five high school students from differing backgrounds. Confining them to the library, he fails to relate to them as individuals with a future or a purpose. Making up the cast of misfit characters are Andy Clark (Emilio Estevez), Brian Ralph Johnson (Anthony Michael Hall), John Bender (Judd Nelson), Claire Standish (Molly Ringwold), and Allison Reynolds (Ally Sheedy). Forced to spend their Saturday together, the five students strike up a conversation (with the exception of the muted Allison). For the most part, their conversation consists of picking on each other and making jokes at each other’s expense.

Continually butting heads with Principal Vernon, the teens help pass the time by uniting against Vernon and by engaging in conversation with the infinitely wise janitor, Carl (John Kapelos). Eventually, each student (including Allison, who eventually opens up) comes to understand the plight of the other. The pretty princess Claire doesn’t have a perfect life. Neither does the popular wrestling champ Andy. Brian and Allison have their own problems just like anyone else, and John puts up a front to look tougher and more hardened than he really is. In the end, the five develop a lifelong bond – with Claire and John igniting a budding relationship.

Sporting a smash hit soundtrack headlined by Simple Minds’ “Don’t You (Forget About Me),” The Breakfast Club attained instant cult classic status. The ‘brat pack’ came to define a generation and made its mark in Hollywood. A light-hearted comedy, blended together with a series of relationships between different people, The Breakfast Club’s true strength lies with the ability of its audience to relate to the issues at hand. The characters recount stories from their lives that in one way or another are easily relatable to most every American who attended high school.

It’s this universal familiarity with the themes depicted by The Breakfast Club that make it a classic adored by millions. Despite the longings of teenagers throughout time to forge unique identities and set themselves aside as revolutionary, in the end, most high schools sport the same cast of characters, and those various roles have remained unchanged for most of the last several decades. As one of the most memorable films of the 80’s decade, The Breakfast Club is a definite must-see movie.

Paul Rudd made a startling jump from Drama to comedy, I still think people remembers him by the name Paul Stephen Rudd and his roles in The Great Gatsby and The Cider House Rules, to grope even further he was in the sixth Halloween movie, it was quite unlikely that he would hit success with Comedy in the end.
Jason Segal had been a comic actor from the beginning and has been tickling our funny bonne for a long time. Except a few appearances in CSI we all remember him as the rockaholic teen Nick Andopolis in Paul Freig and Freaks and Geeks. Jason would have been a great comic actor may whatever happened
Rudd and Segal plays to the audience’s expectations as a straight man looking for man love for reasons completely different while Segal is the guy who does the comedy part by letting us know that he is gay and wanna take on everything.
The story begins with Rudd’s character Peter Klaven proposing to his girlfriend Zooey (Rashida Jones) as later he comes to realize he has no guy friends whom he can get for his best man in the wedding.
Peter asks for help from his brother Robbie (Andy Samberg) who is gay and has many men friends, he fixes up Peter to meet various men which ends up in hilarious consequences, and the fun amps up when he tries to get Zooey’s friend’s husband (John Favreau) to be his best man.
The story continues as Peter meets Segel’s character Sydney Fife and they become chums easily. Sydney has got his Man den, which is filled up, to the brim with various stuff like guitars, lots of TVs Bong etc. And so they finally fall in love later to understand each other’s orientation and then heartbreak and moving out, the question remains will they join hands before the end?
But the only glitch for this movie that it is intentionally directed towards a certain market which we know as the Twitter generation, but aside that the chemistry between the two leads is awesome as they carry their roles like a breeze. They both fit into their roles like a glove and do a great job on the whole. The movie is satisfying but somewhere leaves an empty spot.
