Interesting movies which you may be interested in.

I was seeing the list of best foreign movies in the Oscars. I was surprised to find a whole lot of interesting plots. I am sure you also will get the movie which you always wanted to see. Just reading the plot in wikipedia itself is so interesting.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Academy_Award_winners_and_nominees_for_Best_Foreign_Language_Film

Have a look at the above link.

I was impressed with the movie the sea inside.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sea_Inside

It is the movie about a quadriplegic. He has lost control neck below when he was 29 years. it was due to an accident while diving. Then he was fighting in court for his own suicide. The struggle was for 29 years. Although he lost the case but he managed to die by drinking cyanide.

The reason for his struggle was he needed someone’s help to kill himself. And if someone helps then it may be considered as murder. So he was fighting for his euthanasia. At last he was helped by his friend to consume cyanide and he died. His friend was arrested but was released because of lack of evidence. His friend told that he has done because of the love he had on his friend.

This is not a movie alone but a real life story. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramón_Sampedro

I also came across an interesting movie review Sling blade.

http://movies.rediff.com/report/2009/aug/20/dvd-review-sling-blade.htm

Read the review and I am interested to see the movie. For your information it won an Oscar for the best screenplay in 1996.

Waltz with Bashir: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waltz_with_Bashir

It is a full animated movie and sure it was very good to see. It is about the Sabra and Shatila massacre. The animation is for above 18 year olds. Not the kind of one which Pixar does. So have a look at the realistic animation.

Some of the other movies which i was interested were

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revanche_(film) - Revanche

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Class_(2008_film) - The Class

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Departures_(film) - Departures this won the Oscars for the best foreign movie.

I have not seen the above movies as of now. But i will surely put my reviews once i see them.

This is my first post. Let me see how I grow in the future.

Thanks for reading.

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. ...

It’s a Fishy world out there…

I always wanted to taste all kinds of sea food available in our fish markets. But my mother used to scare me when I was young saying that other fish expect the Vanjaram will have lots of thorns in them and it may get stuck in your throat if not chewed properly. There is no need of any proof that vanjaram has the best taste both in Fry and Stew (Kolambu) category and because of its taste it is also the costliest. It just has one centre bone and rest all is flesh. But I always wanted to taste other kind of fishes. The biggest hurdle in it is each and every fish is called differently in different parts of Tamilnadu. In Tuticorin the Vanjaram is called as Sheela Fish. So this was one of the biggest hurdle. Soon after I came to Chennai about 9 years back from Tuticorin. We tried buying fish from Velachery Fish market. But I did not like the taste of the fish. I will not say it was bad but it was very decent. Tuticorin had a better tasting fish. But Until one fine day about a year back wh...

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...
