Aamir Khan is back… and how.  The trailer of the much anticipated Murugadoss directed, Aamir Khan starrer Ghajini is out. And by the looks of it, looks like a super violent movie.

Is it a 6 pack or the very elusive 8 pack? Lets wait for the verdit to happen, but boy am sooooper excited.  Cant wait for the music to release. The tamil version had some terrific foot tapping music by Harris Jayaraj and a muscular Surya to boot. Honestly, i was not impressed by the Tamil version. Especially the climax which i though was a letdown.  But with Mr Perfectionist, Aamir in the lead, am waiting with bated breath.

Movie Reviews & 500th post

Edit: Ya, just saw that this is my 500th post.  Yay :D

Cold Mountain (2/5)

Inspite of the splendid acting, cinematography and music, the movie left me cold. Dunno why.

Inside Man (2.5/5)

Spike Lee directed movie starring Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster and Clive Owen.  Sure recipe for a taut thriller, right? Unfortunately not. But its not a bad watch.  Watch out for the opening and ending credits of the movie with AR Rahman’s Chhaiya Chhaiya playing in the background. No reason for the song to play there.  It felt more or less like watching an english movie with an item song in it ;)

Prom Night (0/5)

Pathetic, boring, stupid slasher flick.

Drona (-1/5)

Abhishek Bachchan and superhero? hahahaha.  That is the joke of the century.  Wish wifey dear Aishwarya would do something about hubby’s flabby body. Half of the time, Abhishek is so sissy and stands with his heads bowed that you wonder if the superhero is suffering from a bad case of ‘inferiority complex’.  And now, Goldie Behl (who?) is planning a sequel.  May God save all of us from this Groana.

For the first time i have used a negative rating and the honour goes to Drona.

Kidnap (1/5)

A unique movie where mother (Vidya Malvade) and daughter (Minissa Lamba) compete on screen to see who has the better cleavage. Trust me, its still not worth it.  Sanjay Dutt looks haggard and wonders what the eff he was doing in this movie. As for Imran Khan, he has miles to go before he can even be a patch on his mamu jaan, Aamir Khan.  Sanjay Gadhvi, the director is an a$$.  He is better off in the company of the morons from Yash Raj.  Only they have the balls to promote his movies.

3:10 to Yuma

My rating **** (4/5)

Transsiberian

My rating *** (3/5)

Ugly aur Pagli

Ranvir Shorey is brilliant.  Mallika Sherawat is ok.  And the movie is a copy of the Korean hit “My Sassy Girl”.

My rating ** (2/5)

Bachna Ae Haseeno

Another lousy product from the Yash Raj stable.  Cant believe that their standards have gone down so much.  The movie is so boring that it was a drag watching it.  And for all those who believe that Ranbir Kapoor is the next big thing, they can go take a hike.  His face is too wodden with hardly two expressions on it and cant act to save his life.  But when Abhishek ‘butt ugly’ Bachchan can survive, any moron can too.

My rating * (1/5)

Singh is King

Easily one of the worst movie i have ever seen in my life.  The worst rubbish to come out of the hindi film industry in the past few years.  Sad, such crap is the biggest grosser this year.

My rating (0/5)

Now Listening – Rock On

Pathetic lyrics, but you cant discount the fact the songs are damn catchy. Especially the rendition of “Socha Hai” and “Rock On” by Farhan Akhthar.

An aside, the posters of the movie simply rock.  A refreshing change from the ones you regularly see for the Bollywood movies.  It really makes me miss those initial days here in Singapore when i used to wear all those gothic bling bling and rockstar kinda Tshirts and jeans :D   Miss those days.  Cant believe how i have mellowed down so much. Heh.
