Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja (2009)
Pazhassiraja-WORTH A WATCH !!
I went for this movie with expectations running sky high - mainly for two reasons :- a)Because this film has been marketed in epic proportions ; and b)Mammooty films hardly fail at the b.o...
Before going into the review, let me briefly summarise the story for you. The story is told in 19th century Kerala, when King Kerala Varma Pazhassi thamburan knows his empire is within the grips of the British East India Co. but will fight until his last drop of sweat & blood is sacrificed in the name of his nation...
Well, i liked a lot of things about the movie- Strong script/dialogues..not a single weakpoint there. all the artistes are very much living the characters.. i had doubts if Kaniha would underperform as she is a newcomer, ...but even she came out shining brightly, cos the script was simply brilliant though her role was limited in the movie.
Mammoty & actor Sharat did a brilliant job in the film.They are the 2 men in the film who led the movie into the success it is today.Yet another 2 names that have a major role to play in the film are characters played by Manoj K Jayan & Padmapriya as the tribals who support King Pazhassi in a war strategy called "Polipooru"...
Picturesque scenery, soulful music (lets not forget KS chitra won the state award for "Kunnathe Konna"...a very popular song from this film)..and great action sequences....all raise pazhassiraja's usp value to the next level.
But as it is said a coin has 2 sides, there are negatives, some would say they are negligible. For example , there are scenes with a British couple, which is rendered meaninglessly in the story, i really wished the entire scene was taken off, because it hasn't contributed to the film at all, another fault i see, is 2 brilliant actors of malayalam cinema, Jagadi & Jagadish Sreekumar have, least to say, very meaningless & forgettable roles in such a big project. Another demerit I've seen is the monotonous action sequences, one after another in a 3.5 hour long film,, i mean, i have no interest in watching people fight on screen unless it is choreographed well..in pazhassi, i give a 0.5/5 for the fight scenes, due to poor choreography of the fight scenes and there are too many, that really bore the hell out of you!
I've seen this 1 time, maybe if history interests you, you will watch many more...
Angel John (2009)
Angel John says"Leave your brain at home to watch this one"
Maradona is a happy-go-lucky 22-yearold guy who gives a damn about life , & cares nothing less than to live freely and enjoy every moment of his life . He lives with his parents who are worried what their son is going to make of himself, who hangs around in pubs late into the night,hangs around in wrong company and watches porn all day locked up in his bedroom! Life goes on for Maradona until one day he goofs up, badly enough that now the police are searching for him & he gets the exit card from his parents house & decides to take his life .....
This is where enters "Angel John"-played by Mohanlal, who gives him a "varadanam"... a gift..of 2 choices that he can choose to make with his life . He choose one among the two angel John lays out before him & the rest of the film is based upon that choice, its aftereffects, etc.
Overall i find the film very interesting, though in some ,you may cringe in between your seats..Maradona hitting on the married woman & she hitting bach, the low waist underwears, Maradona locked up watching porn, all can create some level of uneasiness for conservative audiences , but on the whole it is a fun, brainless entertainer.
Basic Instinct 2 (2006)
Spoiler movie but great sex
Now the movie did manage to raise a lot of heat during its release using Sharon Stone as the "venture catalyst" but somehow,Michael Caton Jones failed to deliver that degree of brilliance and trill that he promised his audience through the trailers of B I 2.Insted it turned out to be something like watching soft-porn on the big screen! Stone is a risk addict who loves taking risk and in turn falls for the detective that we do not realize until the last scene in the movie.It may be slow and dragging,but what may keep you through the movie will definitely be naked women and the sex scenes. So watch the movie only if have the live action urge in u else chuck it!! A treacherous 3 out of 10 for the story and the movie but an extra 3 for the sex.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)
Average-good
This could possibly be the best Brangelina movie that could've been possibly made...yet again,a regular old clichés and cringes make the movie a little dragging.The first half is when you'd be hooked...to watch where they discover each other's true identities,but thereon,its bit of a mess,improper intros,hell a lot of goof ups,and so on and so for. The desert sequences have been shot quite well and the transition from home to the battleground is perfectly timed keeping the audience in mind and how far they could go with a completely off-screen romantic couple with absolutely no intimacy on screen.
You could watch the movie only if you love the pair and ready for some chic action!
