Ghajini: It was a good one but the opportunity to make a great one was lost. I guess Murugadoss was in a hurry to complete the movie and roll out. He might have thought "before someone else remakes Memento, I'll do it". Songs hampered the flow. In few scenes the whole theatre burst into laughter where we are supposed to be serious. (Eg. Hundreds of people chasing Nayanthara and she escapes in an auto!!!!Hilarious...). We had a tough time in convincing one of my friends that "Durga" in Chandramukhi and "Chitra" in Ghajini were done by the same female - Nayantara.Asin is mind-blogging err.. mind-blowing ;-)

Gorgeous: One of the lackluster Jackie Chan movies I have ever seen.

Godfather (Malayalam): Too much of complexity in the screenplay, I found it difficult to understand the happenings. I asked explanation for each and every scene,no need to say that my room mate got annoyed. I could recollect lot of similar screenplays in Tamil movies. I don't who copied from whom.

As usual we were killing our weekend with movies. Thanks to the broadband connection. My roommate noted an odd pattern in the movies. Whenever there is a scene near the swimming pool, the scene starts with a female (in no way related to the current situation) jumping into the pool. No matter whatever the situation is. And this pattern was in all language movies – Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil and English. Why is this so? Are the audiences so dumb that they could not recognize it as a swim pool until and unless some female jumps into it?! Weird…If you haven’t noticed till date, be watchful from now on. Don’t miss the opportunity ;-) I mean - don't miss to notice the pattern not those females ;-)

Weekend Movies: Sethurama Iyer CBI, Akkare Akkare Akkare, Pattana pravesham, Manichitrathazhu(all GOOD mallu moives) and TROY.

The following incident dates back to early 2004.
After having a tough day in bug fixing, I was happy to leave for the day. Two people shared the elevator, a women and me. I was about to deliver a smile, she snubbed by flipping the identity card to cover up her information (like Name, DOB, etc.) I felt deeply insulted. Did I look like a raving lunatic? அதுவும் பொண்ண பாத்தா மண்ண பாத்து நடக்கற என்னப் பாத்து? I thought of asking her why she did that. But didn’t have enough guts :- ( Poor lady... she didn’t know that it would take less than two minutes for me to get her information. We worked on the same floor but in different ends ;-) Still a bulb is a bulb.

Weekend movies: The Transporter and Enemy of the state.
