“The Descendants” is enjoyable all through the way...

-



Watched the movie "The Descendants" yesterday. Pleasantly enjoyed it. It is a slow movie and the characters take their time to do and say things and if you are not hurried and let them do things their way, then you will enjoy this movie. This movie is not a RomCom movie but a movie in which we smile seeing the characters in grief. This movie also highlights the way that if one person who you hate is no more, then how bad life can screw you. The story happens fully in Hawaii and has that taste all throughout the movie. Even the music is tuned the Hawaiian way. George Clooney has lived this role to perfection and I personally enjoyed each and every emotion he exhibited. The second daughter of Clooney has acted very well emoting sadness once she knows that her mother won’t be waking up again.



The story is simple and the movie shows us a slice from the character’s life.

The scenes which I liked the most are the ones in which George Clooney runs to his neighbor’s place to know about his wife cheating on him and the scene where the family scatter the ashes of the mother in the ocean. But overall the movie has many little scenes which will stick to you even after you finish watching it.

I have not watched any other Oscar nominated movie but really want George Clooney to win one. Just for the charm and the way he ages gracefully.

My rating for this movie is 3.5/5* and go watch it if you like slow family movies with humor J

Kanden Kadhalai in Tamil < Jab We Met in Hindi

On the above picture do you see any difference? Hmmmm… This is the level of similarity you can see when you see Kanden Kadhalai. But I understood direction is not simply copying. You have to have the magic touch which the original director (Imtiaz Ali) has. Kannan (Director of Kanden Kadhalai) didn’t have that magic touch. Scene to Scene, Dialogue to Dialogue it is same as Jab We Met. Although he has left out some really cute scenes which comes in Jab We Meet. Some scenes coming to my mind are, when Geet and Adhitya try and catch a running train in Manali soon after he finds out her in Manali and she tells abt her dream. And the very last scene where Geet’s Sikh Grandfather says that he knew every thing and he needs only one second to find what is running between the girl and boy. In that scene you will be seeing Geet and Adhitya with their 2 children and giving a smile saying “Ji Daji” Those are some of the real sweet scenes in Jab We Met and we don’t find them in this movie.

Angadi Theru is touching and true…

Angadi Theru Movie Review (4/5). Angadi Theru means a Market. And a heavily crowded market in Chennai means Ranganathan Street . And that’s where most of the movie unfolds. Many would have gone inside Saravana Stores. And how many of us would have thought about the uniformed sales people working there? Vasanthabalan just has not visited Ranganathan street . But paused and thought about it and made this touching script mixing some hard reality too. The movie shows the lives of Kanni and Jothilingam for a period of roughly 1 year. And that happens to be the first year after they meet. They gain many things but loose many too. There is no hard lined story in this film. This movie can be taken as a chapter in a very big novel. But this chapter seems to be the touching one in the whole novel. Jothilangam a 12 th standard school topper from a village is forced to work for his family due to the sudden death of his father. He comes to Chennai and joins as a sales person at Senthil Mugura

Tamil Padam.. Gives you only a few genuine Laughs.

It’s been a very long time since I watched a movie first day first show. But got the opportunity for this movie after some quick planning. We decided around 3pm that we are going to the movie and then started from office at 5pm . Since it was Bangalore we where able to get the ticket for Tamil Padam very easily and to my surprise the theatre was not houseful too!!! The movie started with the Spoof of Karuthamma. But here they are killing the boy babies instead of Girl. The reason? Because boys from that village (Cinemapatti) leave for Chennai and start acting as heros in Tamil Cinema and proclaim themselves with all names like Chinna Talabathi, Mini Super start etc and also disclose that they want to become the CM in the second year itself. But our hero (who is the baby) escapes the packed super Quality Kalli paal that is kept for killing him and heads to Chennai along with Paravai Muniyamma. There are some punch dialogues which spoof Vijay and an opening song which comes similar
