A L I E N S

I wish I could see this movie in its time. It's not often a sequel trumps the original. But seeing that it's Cameron at the director's chair, it's no surprise. He's always manage to up the stakes in his sequels and take it into a whole new level - recall Terminator the judgment day. Which is why it's safe to feel hyped about Avatar 2. Evidently, you realise I enjoyed this movie. Ridley Scott's masterpiece was ground breaking but this sequel is earth shattering. Enough said! Catch the film! .. and Sigourney well deserves the Oscar for her role here!

"What Movies Mean To Me"? >>>> As shared in Tom Cruise's blog >> http://www.tomcruise.com/blog/

It's the Silver screen with Golden dreams, etched either in poetic master-pieces of showmanship or the thunderous arrival of block-bust-ing epics. Having waxed eloquent about Movies - the gift that they are to the mankind, it also represents the best of us. Why? As every film under the sun or shade, is inevitably and ultimately the aggregate output of a team. The best brought out by Unity, in Variety!! " Cinema - thy name is wonderment! ~ v.vijai anto"

That was a status message in my friend's fb page, which I and many others shared and it inspired in me a cool Kollywood story:

28 Days (2000)

[your rating for the movie]

  A big thanks to Pix for playing this gem. Never thought this could be a great one but it's there! I can't be honestly objective in this movie as it did touch me personally. Having said it, I can't seem to place it : seems like a chick-flick but it ain't; seems like film-noir but it blossoms with spring and sunshine too; seems simplistic and light for the subject discussed yet manages to delve well into the psyche... honestly, it's an intersection of sea-biscuit and one flew over the cuckoo's nest - possessing none of the grandness of either.

Film's weaknesses are few and far between, that one thinks there might have been just a little more complexity, emotion, darkness, and just a little more grandness? Maybe it doesn't require it. Maybe it's just a good movie that doesn't pretend to be great and therein innately so. I am surprised to find the director Betty White's recent venture was the Alvin and chipmunks squeakquel! She's been doing the rounds of comedy, chick-flicks and rom-coms in regular fashion! This movie stands out as the odd one in her resume. The style does show in the shots and scenes, yet the comedy and romantic angles mesh well with the narrative.

Sandra Bullock was never my favorite actress except in Speed, and after this, I am taking a 180 degree turn. She carries the plot, almost solely in many places and does it so fittingly. Sandra's Gwen is insensitive yet with her heart on the sleeve, flaky yet intelligent, witty yet incredibly stupid. The 28 days of her growth in Rehab is well done when one considers the incredibly short running time for the movie on such a subject. Even without such considerations Gwen will stay in your thoughts. All supporting casts are well-etched! Unforgettable are Eddie the pitcher (Viggo Mortensen)and the overly sensitive homosexual. In fact, the latter is quite endearing after a time!

Like the movie, this blog-review will be short! Why a movie from 2000 A.D you ask? I say, some are timeless and are as new as tomorrow!
