“300” movie review

“300”

I had seen the trailer for this movie some time ago, and it was clear to me that it was one movie that I would stand in line to see! I was anticipating ‘opening day” for a long, long time!
And did this movie live to my high expectations???…………….
‘300’ was even better than my high expectations.
The Spartan fought as a unit just like in team sport. Each Spartan has its own position during battles, and the technicality of doing defence using shields and attacking using their spears was perfectly executed. Such choreography was stunning like watching a beautiful ballet dance.
Most of the movie was created virtually, but it’s not anywhere near the virtually soulless filth that was ‘Attack of the Clones’ (THANKFULLY!). This movie got its heart and the story is pretty good.
Some are People confused with their Greek history, this movie has never claimed to be historically correct as many have and will argue. 300 is loosely based upon the actual war between Persians and Greeks. But, seeing it has been adapted from a comic book by Frank Miller, what can we possibly expect?
If you see the movie then I am sure u will agree with me, Every single guy in the movie has a SIX-PACK with no hair on the chest I am sure not really all men looked like that in reality but movie drew them this way to look “heroic.” This is heroic nudity and is commonly used in Hollywood cinemas. Anyway, I am hitting the gym again from tomorrow.
WARNING: there are many disturbing battle scenes and a couple of short scenes with nudity(very well done)
Spend the money and the time! You won’t be sorry!

No Kiss please, we’re Indian

it’s quite funny that kin India kissing the one you love in public is not allowed but pissing on the streets is Definitely ok.

Two recent controversial kisses recently are choking the land of the Kama Sutra 1st A lawyer has filed a criminal case against a kiss between India’s two biggest heart-throbs — former Miss World Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan In their Bollywood blockbuster, Dhoom 2.
and 2nd is The picture of Rajasthan chief minister Vasundhara Raje greeting Biocon’s CMD Kiran Majumdar Shaw has for no reason kicked up a huge political storm, even within a section of the BJP. They’re all describing the friendly kiss between the two as obscene.

In Bollywood Kissing on screen is nothing new now, Amir Khan, Abhishek Bachan, Hrithik Roshan, and Saif Ali Khan did it before, but the leading lady of Bollywood does it then it’s obscene.
Poor Aishwarya Rai is always at the receiving end of jealous and foolish people. When she avoids scenes, she is cold, when she does it even mildly, she gets sued.
Cmon, we have to learn to live along and live with. Can’t keep stopping and fighting over such petty issues. It is a talent to be able to act and these actors have just done their job. The lawyer seriously needs to get a life.

What’s the big deal about Ms. Raje and Ms. Shaw air-kissing each other at the concluding session of the World Economic Forum in Delhi? It was just the bad camera angle that gives the impression of a kiss on the lip, in what is just a friendly embrace. But one television channel picked up the picture and went with a sensational headline ‘Maharani Ka Chumban’ flashing the photograph again and again.

“Men are uncomfortable with women in male-dominated fields. A man doing something ‘Westernized’ like a kiss would have been fine. But with women like Aishwarya Rai, everything is scrutinized,

We Indians are hypocrites, aren’t we..? We have 2nd largest population in the world, and yet a kissing scene stirs controversy…
How do we Indian make babies? By magic??
Great, ain’t it?

here is the kissing screen: Thank You

Born Into Brothels: Calcutta’s Red Light Kids

Born Into Brothels: Calcutta’s Red Light Kids (2004)

Born into Brothels represents the best and the worst in humanity. A woman tries to save children born to prostitutes in the Red Light District in Calcutta, India by teaching them the power of photography, when no one else cared.
Although sad due to the nature of the content, it is an uplifting story that inspires you to look wider than your own life to see how each one of us can have a profound impact on the lives of others.
This is one of the finest non-fiction films I have seen.
What was troubling to me was that never to see these troubled children again.
I didn’t want it to end so soon because I wanted to spend some more time with the children….
And wanted to see all of them out of this Brothel
I often disagree with the academy award nominations. Born Into Brothels is an exception, it was nominated and won!
India has a serious problem with sex trafficking and despite what anyone else might say, it’s being run by Asians. Unless there is a semblance of accountability in the public sector, nothing will be done. Everyone throws their hands up and says ‘Oh I’m not corrupt, but everyone else is, so what can I do?”
This film should be seen by everyone who has any sense of what the world is and can be if we give our attention and empathy to make it a better place
for me, the creators of this Documentary are the true hero.

Why me? Fanaa movie review

Fanaa
Starring: Aamir Khan, Kajol
Director: kunal Kohli

I just avoided all the crappy recent Bollywood movies so I wouldn’t start hating Hindi cinema. I was so excited about ‘Fanaa’ I dragged my friend who is really not a great fan of Bollywood, and then I pay 150 rupees in black for the ticket where the actual ticket was 40 bucks.
And what I get?
Absolutely stupid an irritating movie.
Fanaa has a poor script and a bad screenplay.
It just doesn’t have a flow and looks forced most of the times.
The characters are written too feebly to elicit any involvement
The way the romance develops between Kajol and Amir is forced and childish. There is no proper reason for both of them to fall for each other.
But while the first half is predictably cheesy, you don’t mind it much. Kajol looks beautiful, and Aamir has a good screen presence, and you think that the movie is going somewhere, but you are wrong!
2nd half is ten times worse than the 1st half
It’s an unbelievable story. I would say ‘Jurassic Park’ is much more realistic than this
Kajol has put a thick layer of makeup, and she can easily pass for ‘fair and lowly cream’ ambassador.
At a point, the movie gets soo boring and irritating that you want to go out and have nice hot corn for like 10-15n min while the movie is still running.
I enjoyed listening to the Fanaa music on my iPod, but the movie was so dragging that if I had a remote control, I would have skipped the songs (maybe the movie too)
Only one best part of the film is Ravi Chandran.s camera work.
Fanaa was the really big disappointment for me.
Now after all this I am sure you will still go and see the movie, but after the movie, you will think of this review.
