Director: Peter Berg Cast: Will Smith, Charlize Theron, Jason Bateman Hancock is one of the movies that everyone desperately wants to like. But however we try at some point of time we give up on it, owing to its poor packaging. The movie has a great plot; never ever tried, supported by one of the best in their business. Hancock is a superhero with all great powers but lacks discipline and social interest. Hence even though he tries to save people it ends up affecting others. In a twist he is helped by Ray Embrey become a better person. What happens after the people like him forms the rest of the plot. The story has a lot of twists that might have looked astounding in paper but on screen they bore us; full credit for this mistake goes to the screenplay department. The graphics are not bad but they are expected to be very good. Will smith looks better as a dysfunctional superhero than as a reformed person. The only scene that takes us by surprise is when Mary Embery; wife ...

This was published in Nxg - The Hindu Cast: Amitabh, Abhishek, Aishwarya Rai, Director: Ram Gopal Varma RGV is back with his cult characters in this sequel. The movie has two inspirations backing the script; Sarkar and Godfather. Whenever the movie draws inspiration from Godfather the film impresses, but when they move under the shadows of Sarkar it looks clichéd. This time around RGV didn’t go for an elaborate story. Rather he has tried to play with the characters; their reactions and the genre that Sarkar has created. He has completely played with the enigma of the previous part in the first half. The story doesn’t seem to move at all here. The moment he shifts to Godfather mode by murdering Avantika, the movie unfolds in a rapid pace with series of twist and turns. The surprise package of them all, being the characterization of Aishwarya. Story wise Anitha(Aishwarya) CEO of Sheppard Power Plant, brings a power plant proposal to be set up in rural Maharashtra before the Nagres. ...

Movie:Kuruvi Cast:Vijay,Trisha,Vivek,Suman With a storyline as old as Tamil Cinema, Vijay and Dharani have preached us Gandhigiri through their second outing Kuruvi. Close your eyes to bad-close your eyes whenever Vijay starts fighting. Shut your ears from the bad-shut your ears when Vijay starts speaking his punch dialogues. Close your mouth from speaking bad-don't question the logic factor in the film. If you take a lot of MGR movies mix it with Ranji's movies(mainly Sivaji) and Dharani's previous ventures and fill them in the narration style of Gilli, Eureka you get Kuruvi. The story is about Vijay-a car racer[ who can travel from Triplicane to Sriperumbudur in 5 mins], in quest to get back the money that was due from Malaysia, finds about the secret behind his father's sudden disappearance and how he brings back his father after solving his problem as an one man army forms the rest of the story. If one is able to forgive the flawed screenp...

Movie: Tashan Cast: Akshay, Kareena, Anil Kapoor, Saif This was published in NXg - The Hindu Are the audiences becoming intelligent, or the script writers are unwilling to think out of the tested formula? This is what one asks after watching Tashan. The plot goes like this. Kareena uses Saif, a call centre employee, who happens to teach English for Don Anil Kapoor, to steal his money. Anil calls Akshay, a local gunda, to get back the money and finish them. Akshay is the only saving grace in the movie which is nothing more than an old wine in a new bottle. Akshay manages to make you laugh and enjoy throughout. He could have avoided the gravity and bullets defying stunts. Saif has nothing much to do and doesn't make use of the few chances he gets. Except skin show, Kareena has nothing else to offer. Anil kapoor tries to make us laugh but ends up making fool of him. You can't avoid noticing similarities between Tashan and Dhoom-2 , which again was a forgettable movie. Cinemato...

1st thing ppl should get after watching this movie is tht they should realise this is not a psycho thriller.its about a man fed of being looked down upon as one who is a tamil literate,a person who cant control his anger,who cant swallow the fact tht the world is not recognising talents. a normal review cant be given for such a movie.so am going on a diff path now. the script writters have proven tht stories doesnt make a movie : only a large amt of good incidents which are linked intelligently make a good movie. the film has ample dosage of great moments. a scene neednot have great dialogue or great locations or mamooth sets ot make it memorable.for example look for scene where the hero n heroine travel in a jeep where she rests her head on him n on the background comes illayaraja's voice"mudal murai vazha tudikidhe". if u think romantic scene only make cherish able moments;then look for the scene where jeeva says "killing is like intercourse,the shear ecstasy u get...
