The Cabin in the Woods

Horror movie. Story by Joss Whedon, the man who directed 'The Avengers'. Impressive IMDB rating. Critics' pick. Chris Hemsworth is part of the cast.

Nothing of the above stopped my snoring..

MY
BIG
FAT
GREEK
WEDDING

Second time!

Many scenes I did again!

Couldn't believe that I had tears in the last couple of scenes! (That father character is one of the most memorable characters watched ever in movies..."There are only two types of people - GREEK and those who wish they were GREEK")

This time it was my own DVD but watching it yesterday reminded me of my first watch when a co-worker of Greek origin gave me her DVD and encouraged to watch it. (Her own lifestory has a lot of similarities to the movie - parents moved from Greece, owned a restaurant at some point of time, big family in the metro Detroit area, college educated, embarassed about Greek food during school days but dying for it after growing up, was dating a non-greek white professional while in our team...she married him later in the same style as in the movie, in Greek church, feeling guilty about the expensive gifts from her parents...)

kalyANa rAman
(Kamal / Sridevi / GN Rangarajan / Panju A / IR - 70's blackbuster hit)

Big bore

Only two scenes were enjoyable in the whole movie - one when both KH meet for the first time

The other one is a song - SJ's classic "ninaiththAl inikkum" with Sridevi on-screen.

Rest of the movie is avoidable...

RAATTINAM

- almost same story like "Kaadhal".. but the ending has some very important message
- the consequences of love.. love between a 12th std girl [minor girl] & a boy [not told about his educational background]
- when i thought the director has slightly modified the ending of Kaadhal.. there was a twist..
- the ending is what mostly happens in reality & only after reading the end card texts i realised director has conveyed the message... a very important one
- i wish school students esp. girls watch this film..

- songs onnu rendu nalla irundha madhiri irundhadhu.. eppadiyum adhai ellam ketkaporadhillai
- no separate comedy track is a plus
- screenplay was interesting till the end
- hero - heroine vera yaravadhu.. innum better'ah select pannirkkalaam... heroine konjam gundaa.. poosunapla irundhadhu.. oru sayalla Bhumikha madhiri irundhadhu.. director adhai parthu select pannittarO..
- most characters show yedhartha acting.. good & not forced edhartham [idhu ennanu ketkadheenga.. vera padathula partha solren]
- story location: Tuticorin
- i found it artificial when most of the characters end their sentences with a "lE" .. i have my college mate from Tuticorin.. never seen him using "lE" & i know one more person from Thiruchendur.. i can identify their accent.. but found this "lE" usage more like vijay using "nnA"
- one more girl was shown for some 4 to 5 scenes.. i felt she was more beautiful than the heroine..
- indha padathula kanbikkira love'la ellam enakku udanpaadu illai i.e., school love, college love... but i have seen love in college successfully transforming into marriage [college classmate].. this % is very very min...
