Saw “Baran”, Iranian film directed by Majid Majidi, thanks to Makkal TV. Another classic from the auteur. His clear focus over the subject & treatment needs appreciation. Simple yet powerful characters, subtle performance, realistic locations and excellent direction.
Though it looks like a simple love story between an Iranian boy and an Afghan girl, the movie conveys an altogether different feel, at the end. The director, I believe, wanted to show the plight of Afghan refugees in Iran and he has cleverly used a love story kind of feel to register his sentiments. Nothing is forced on the audience and everything takes place naturally. Just a shade of the struggle the people undergo is shown, but we can feel the intensity. He has given the movie a very soft feel which ironically, reveals hard and plain truth.
its gr8 that lot of other country films r being aired on tamizh channels..even world movies and mgm gives us the oppurtunity to watch other countries films
Yes, your'e right. Captain TV is all set to air World movies shortly and clippings from Pianist, Bicyle thief etc., are being advertised now.Quote:

Knight and Day
Second disappointment of the day after A.V. Recommended only for Diaz fans..
The Color of Paradise
The Color of Paradise, is an Iranian film directed by Majid Majidi.
The story is around a blind boy.He comes from his blind school for vacation to his home.
His father like him very much but he dissapoints to see his son being a blind so he decides to get away.And then the Climax.
Starting scene when the boy helps a bird and climax are master piece of director.
And the boy scores in his acting.Simple and superb cinematography.And good script with gripy screen presences.
Before the devil knows you're dead- good..worth a watch.. the scenes shown from various point of view and the non-linear screen play made the movie a good thriller drama :thumbsup:
Avatar:A remarkable combination of technological excellence and masterful story telling.Idhukku mele solradhukku onnum ille.

Reasonably good movie.. Except for Jimi Mistry, there are'nt any known actors. But is watchable for a different and thoughtful plot.
Queens (spanish)
Quite funny.

BERN, Switzerland – The Swiss government declared renowned film director Roman Polanski a free man on Monday after rejecting a U.S. request to extradite him on a charge of having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/roman_polanski
A snub of the highest order.
Mr Polanski, now that you're free - please, release The Ghost writer DVD ASAP :sigh2: Can't wait to watch it. Didn't even get a major release despite you being the contemporary master of suspense/thrillers..

Watched "The Karate Kid(2010)"..
The film was good in some parts where the boy reads a letter to hus friend Mei in Chinese.. and then the story is very much predictable during the end.. Are they promoting tourism in China? :roll:
With much anticipation i started watching the movie, but was disappointed :(
PS: i have not watched earlier versions of The Karate kid
Coraline (2009)
Beautiful. Fanstastic. How come I missed it first time around? :shock:
GM: Dey, ithe kelviya ettana tadavadaa ketpa?
Kick Ass V2.0 - Action sequences and soundtracks are cool 8-)
Alvin and the chipmunks-2-Got this for my son who said he will watch later and slept while I ended up watching the whole thing :D
Good animation of the chipmunks and chippettes with equally good voice overs.Had a few dull moments but quite enjoyable overall ,even for adults.
The Ghost Writer (Polanski, 2010) :notworthy:
Best English language film of the year to me, so far :thumbsup: Better than Shutter as the 'Island' film of the year. Better than both Shutter Island and Inception (Nolan could learn a thing or two about efficient, economical architectural usage by Polanski) as a thriller. Neither emotionally cathartic as former, nor relatively insular, and elliptical as latter. Nor is the emphasis on unreliable protagonist, lest of all distorted information!
Polanski proves his formalistic eclecticism is always servicing the story, and never goes against it. Minimalistic soundtrack as usual. I said many times, Polanski is the living master of suspense. While no Hitchcock, you've got to hand it to him in his mis-en-scene and control of narrative in its tone & pacing. By the end of narrative, you'd have experienced something haunting, visceral and incisive - in both visual and aural form.
One of the sufficiently palpable climaxes I could remember from a Polanski film, as I think most of his scripts often loses the trick by its denouement. No cheap ellipsis in name of ambiguity here. Polanski is far too assured of his craft..
Given time, I'll probably choose this to be among his best works. It might not be a Noir classic like Chinatown, but still as a thriller it's a vast improvement on Frantic (which is still a gripping narrative for most part, about two third of the film to be precise!) and Ninth Gate (that's again tonally messed up by occult satanism & surreal overtones towards the end), as aforementioned the last act of these films spoil the prescient buildup. But The Ghost Writer is well etched out, and everything seems in place - especially the agoraphobic mood of the place and the inscrutable feeling the character goes through. And when thrillers could be emotionally accessible (admittedly, figuratively speaking, the impulsive feel isn't distorted as much as the 'informed' intellect), it's often a plus - I much prefer The Ghost Writer and Frantic over Ninth Gate in this regard. Overall, TGW over Frantic and Ninth Gate for me. Like how Rosemary's baby trumps both Repulsion and The Tenant in Apartment trilogy. Even if I'm not comfortable in rating it over Chinatown, Rosemary's baby and The Pianist (again a major work!) , I'd say it's at least on par with Bitter Moon, Macbeth (oddly revoked in The Ghost Writer through the Missus of quasi-exiled ex-Prime Minister), and Death and the Maiden. Among first person narrative and a neo-noir, this seems more in spirit of Chandler(and this is always good news to this noir fan) than Hammett and Cain
In conclusion, a fine film by one of the finest 'filmmakers' who deserves material like this (I sincerely hope he collaborates more with Robert Harris). It's often the written material that faulters. And yet, Polanski isn't one of the types who fall into what Mr.Peter Greenaway refers to as "105 Years of illustrated Text". I've never seen a bad film by Polanski including What?, Pirates and Oliver Twist. He's that good.
Has anyone seen the 'Karate kid' or the 'The A Team' ?? any good :roll:
Night at the musuem-2:The first part had an innovative concept and was a riot.
This one as with most sequels tries to stretch the idea without the same effect.A bit gimmicky at times and not as interesting as Part 1 but still an enjoyable watch,no doubt.
A Few Good men:Hair rising film.Can't believe how I missed this all these years.Brilliant court room drama with arresting performances by Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise.Demi Moore was a bit underwhelming,though.
Plays to the gallery at times but works out huge.
Must watch.
Josie and the pussycats - cool entertainer :cool2:
