The Tourist

Movie Stars : Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Paul Bettany, Timothy Dalton, Steven Berkoff, Rufus Sewell, Christian De Sica
Country: USA
Language : English, Italian, French, Russian

Not as bad as pretty much all the critics say it is. It's entertainment! Not art! I don't think I can stress that enough. The director may have intended for this to be "the" romance thriller of the year and a wonderful film. The film was wonderful (I say that loosely) but it wasn't the best of the year. Vienna and Paris was a nice setting for the movie. It's pretty and interesting.Anyone will love it, especially if you have never been for yourself.

I sensed some chemistry between Johnny and Angelina... it wasn't much. Angelina played the role of the upper class well mannered woman well. Johnny played a very convincing dumb American tourist (speaking Spanish to the Italians... WTH). The match wasn't made in heaven but it was close enough for me. Ultimately this movie was a nice way to burn an hour and thirty minutes. It was entertaining, laughable,  and quite enjoyable for those you know how to sit back, relax and shut the fuck up about  all the things wrong with it.It was not the best, but most definitely not the worst.

Khaleja

Runtime : ? Min.
Genre : Comedy, Action
Director : Trivikram Srinivas
Movie Stars : Mahesh Babu, Anushka Shetty, Prakash Raj,Sunil, Brahmanandam
Country: India
Language : Telugu

After a three year break Mahesh the baby faced prince is back with this Action Comedy. I'm a huge Mahesh fan. He's the first Telugu actor I discovered and I've loved him every since. With that said, of course I loved his performance of the cocky, arrogant, demigod Raju. Anushka delivers an less brilliant performance but still manages to win my approval.  Prakash Raj, The Godfather, is at his evillest. Have you guys also noticed that Prakash is the Godfather/Don of every movie?   

The story started off good and interesting but as the film continued it became boring and a little less interesting. I don't think I would have liked this as much if Mahesh did not star in it.

Brindavanam

Runtime : 152 Min.
Genre : Action, Romance
Director : Vamsi Paidipally
Movie Stars :NTR Jr., Kajal Aggarwal,Samantha, Srihari, Prakash Raj
Country: India
Language : Telugu

I'm going to completely honest here. So all you people that are die-hard Tolly fans or NTR/ Kajal fans may just want to scroll down and look at the awesome screencaps that I have for you guys. This movie was completely annoying. Very annoying! Between the over dramatic music every single second something a little bit dramatic happened, Kajal's crying, and the over the top action scenes that make no sense I almost went insane. This is not my first Telugu movie so I am no stranger to over the top action; anyone remember Mahesh Babu taking on over 100 men and winning in Okkadu. Guess what, Okkadu is one of my favorite Telugu movies so it is not that I mind the zany  action. Brindavanam's action just didn't fit well in the movie and it was wayyyyyyy over the moon (yes more than taking on 100 men). South Indian films are dramatic. Just putting that out there. But I swear to you the film editor became too happy with the sound effects. Every single cry, laugh, hug, smile, fight, monologue, and soliloquy there was the same three dramatic sound effects playing.  

I know this is a cultural thing.  In this cultural I know it is not cool, okay, or acceptable to stand up to your elder, especially when its your father and you are a female. I accept this fact but Kajal and Samantha's characters just stood by without saying a word as their friend/boyfriend just beat up unjustifiably. SPOILER! I didn't expect them to step in and stop the fight between their fathers and Krish but they could have explained what happened (the deal they made to allow Bhoomi to borrow Krish) and tell the fathers that everything Krish did was for Bhoomi only. No! They just stand by and let him die for their sins (so to speak).  You guys know I can not stand damsels in distress... not in this century. 

Ajay, the cousin and antagonist, please get a new facial expression. That creeper smile that you had was just too  much and so where the Gemstone Green Freshlook contacts. They made you look like a rapist. There is not wonder why Bhoomi did not want you.  

I AM NOT saying that this was a bad movie. No, the story/script was sound and very entertaining. Kajal, whom I've liked since Magadheera, was perfect for the role especially when paired with Samantha Prabhu.  Both are very beautiful actresses who will go far in this business, especially Kajal (who know you love Kajal). I didn't like NTR as much. This is the first movie I've seen of his and from this I understand that he is an okay actor. No offense to his fans, but something just doesn't sit right with me. I think Allu Ajrun could have bought a funnier (and sexier... shush I didn't say that) character. If you can look pass the dramatic music, crazy action, and crying women than based on the story alone I would recommend this movie.


IMDB: Krish (NTR) is the son of a billionaire businessman (mukesh Rishi). He has a girl friend Indu (samantha). Her friend Bhoomi (kajal) wants to pursue her higher studies and lands in trouble when her father (Prakash Raj) wants to marry her to his nephew (Ajay). Her grandfather (Kota Srinivasa Rao) convinces her dad, saying that she already likes someone in the city so her dad asks her to bring her lover home. Indu asks Krish to go as Bhoomi's Lover. Meanwhile, Bhoomi's uncle (Srihari), and her father (Prakash) live apart in two adjacent villages. The two families are feuding with each other. Krish is hated by Bhoomi's entire family and he has to overcome many things in his attempt to get everyone to love him. 

No one I know has every said that

Hello Stranger กวน มึน โฮ

Year : 2010

Genre : Comedy, Romance
Director : Banjong Pisanthanakun
Movie Stars : Chunthawit Thanasewi, Nuengthida Sophon, Warutaya Nilakhuha
Country: Thailand, South Korea
Language : Thai, Korean

I absolutely LOVED this movie.  It's hard to believe that only a few years ago I, in lank of better words, was not a fan of Thai films because now I'm in love with them. Is it me or do Asians make some of the best Comedies and Romances? Of course the ending had to make me mad. Gosh, I hate cliff hangers. At any rate, this is one of those brilliant non-tragic romances and a keeper for anyone's movie collection.

NOTE:
Kuan Muen Ho is the English translation of the Thai script. Kuan (Pain in the butt) Muen (Drunk) Ho (Romance). LOL!
Chunthawit Thanasewi (Dang (Dog)/ Kuan) is super cute.
Warutaya Nilakhuha (Goi) is a super home-wrecker that ruined everything!
PLOT: Hello Stranger portrays a young Thai man and woman who meet by coincidence while on vacation in South Korea. They decide to tour Korea together while keeping their names secret from each other.

Live Octopus. Umm..

Peepli Live

Year : 2010
Runtime : 104 Min.
Genre : Comedy, Drama
Director : Anusha Rizvi
Movie Stars : Omkar Das Manikpuri, Raghubir Yadav, Shalini Vatsa, Malaika Shenoy, Nawazuddin Siddiqui,Naseeruddin Shah
Country: India
Language : Hindi

A cleaver eye opener to farmer suicides in India but laughable and funny at the same time. I love how well this movie blends comedy and serious issues of India. I think that is what made this movie so watchable for me because I can laugh but still find like I've learned something. The issue of farmer suicides is a terrible truth. In the film the government is depicted as being selfish and uncaring toward their farming citizens, which after all makes up 70 percent of the  Indian population. At the end of the movie when the film crews just packs up and leaves this poor rural community with nothing more than a few minutes of fame. This was the saddest part for me because they just witnessed a village full of people below the poverty line and after they got what they needed (their story) they just left without a thought more about these people. But what really is sad is that there are tons more out there like this village.

IMDB:In the lead up to state elections in the Indian village of Peepli, two poor farmers, Natha and Budhia, face losing their land over an unpaid bank loan. Desperate, they seek help from an apathetic local politician, who scornfully suggests they commit suicide to benefit from a government program that aids the families of indebted deceased farmers. When a journalist overhears Budhia urge Natha to "do what needs to be done" for the sake of their families, a media frenzy ignites around whether or not Natha will commit suicide.

I agree. George W (bastard) did it! He stole Natha! 

Sure... We are what we eat (...ate in this case)

You don't heard that too often

I couldn't agree more

He doesn't look thrilled

"why did..."  past tense form of that word isn't used too often

Wow

If he is fat than we much all be obese.  I'm sure he was being sarcastic so "BEEP" you guy on  cycle.

Yamala Pagla Deewana

Year : 2010
Runtime : 163 Min.
Genre : Comedy, Romance
Director : Samir Karnik
Movie Stars : Sunny Deol,Dharmendra, Bobby Deol, Kulraj Randhawa, Anupam Kher
Country: India
Language : Hindi, Punjabi

Super funny movie about an "average" Punjabi family. There were so many things I liked about this movie I don't think I could pick a favorite scene or part. Sunny Deol, Dharmendra, and Bobby Deol are A+ actors in this comedic film. They make an amazing father and son pair.

Why does just about every English native sound the same in Bollywood. Am I the only one who has noticed that? Whether you are British, American, Canadian, South African, etc... you sound the same. The the Swiss cop in Darling (Telugu, 2010) had the same accent has the Canadian wife in this film.   about the wife. I swear I've heard her voice in Bollywood before... But hey thats just Bollywood for ya!

PLOT:  A mother leaves her con artist husband in India for Canada. She is only able to take one of her two sons. Years later, an adult Paramveer Singh Dhillon decides he must leave his wife and two sons in Canada to find his long lost father and brother to bring them home. The plot thickens when long lost brother Gajodhar falls in love with Saheba whose family is very traditional Punjabi. Saheba is taken away by her brothers in the hopes of marrying her off to a respectable Punjabi man. Father and sons must unite to pull off one of their greatest cons to save Saheba and become family once again.

Brotherly love

I love Canada too

Punjabi Hulk!
