This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time

Tyler Durden: Guys, what would you wish you'd done before you died?


Ricky: Paint a self-portrait.

The Mechanic: Build a house.

Tyler Durden: [to Narrator] And you?

Narrator: I don't know. Turn the wheel now, come on!

Tyler Durden: You have to know the answer to this question! If you died right now, how would you feel about your life?

Narrator: I don't know, I wouldn't feel anything good about my life, is that what you want to hear me say? Fine. Come on!

Tyler Durden: Not good enough.

My Name is Khan

My name is satish and let me tell you  'My name is Khan' is no classic, It sucks. With all the indian critics going Gaga over this movie , I and duppu went to watch this crap yestarday   . It was quite evident that all the Srk's remarks and Shiv sena's  publicity stunts working full time. Theatre was full!!.

Movie is full of ridiculous scenes and cliched emotions, that make you cringe in your seats.   I remember an incident few months back when i and Duppu were walking in princeton downtown . She slipped a bit and almost fell, Immediately many people came to help her. Imagine a guy struggling to cross the road and they stop trolley, Come out and say words like “Move out you freak”!!. that is just ridiculous.

Kajol looks very beautiful . she surely looks lot younger but cannot handle her shrieking and screaming all the time. Especially the scene when her son dies, the acting was very irritating rather than emotional.

The only good thing in the movie is Srk's acting. Many scenes  standout due to SRK'S acting. But make no mistake here. He is definitely not in the class of  Forrest gump 'Tom hanks' or Rain man 'Dusitin Hoffman'.
But the most glaring thing that was obvious in the film is , It is clear ‘inspiration’ of ‘Forrest gump’. The narrative, SRK speaking, Bonding with his mother, Mama jenny (Remember bubba gump’s mother?!) and many more. Karan johar you suck. guys we're still not completely out of recession . dont waste your money on this crap.

Rann

What were you smoking when you made this  movie RGV?. Seriously, what were you smoking. Are you the same RGV who directed movies like Shiva, Satya and Company in the past? or are you his evil twin who killed the real RGV and buried him in an unmarked grave?.
How amateur can the script be!!. how can a junior journalist, who joined a media company 3 days back can sit in the board meeting  with the owner of the company  and disagree with the owner's son's agendas!!.
The whole SMS thing was prolonged, Irritating and stupid. The movie just gets boring after few minutes into it .
Acting wise Big B, Sudeep, rajat kapoor, paresh rawal, Suchitra krishnamurthy and Mohnish Behl were good. Ritesh deshmukh has a constipated look throughout the film.

I wasted 2 hours and 20$ on this movie. I want my money back RGV. Give me back my money.

Movies I've watched lately

Sherlock Holmes - loved it!!. Guy ritchie's potryal of the legendary intellect as dynamic and lethal was super cool!!. Enjoyed every bit of Jude law and Downey Jr's acting but had  trouble with understanding downey's british accent.  Still humming the theme music. 'Tan tana tan....'

Avatar - A visual Tour de force. watched in 3D IMAX. Amazing visuals but didnt think much of the story.

2012 - Edge of the seat disaster movie strewn with clichés . But absolutely loved it and duppu hated it!!.

3Idiots - Duppu loved it, I loved it and everyone loved it!!. Easily the best hindi movie of 2009 . The story had the same basic plotline as munnabhai MBBS Right ?

Hangover - Love this 'R' rated comedy.

Paranormal Activity - 'Scariest movie ever' ? Wtf!!  . a shoddy film . The scene where katie gets dragged out of bed was interesting :).

Unnaipol Oruvan (Tamil) - A horrible sh*tty movie . A sad caricature of immensely watchable
'A Wednesday'. Its big time this dinosaur should retire .

Insomnia -  Al pacino all the way. what an amazing actor!!.  A beautiful movie, loved the story.

Eeram(Tamil) - A decent supernatural thriller. But felt the movie was like an over stretched rubber band.

Nagarahaavu ( Kannada) - Watched it again!!. may chammayya mestru and ramachari rest in peace.

District 9 - Immensely appealing and electrying must watch movie.

R.I.P Dr.Vishnuvardhan

Dec 30th , 2009 is a sad day for kannada movie lovers.


The veteran actor Vishnuvardhan who shot to fame with 'Nagarahaavu' in 1972 was a rare actor. His 37 year film career is strewn with gems like Muthina Haara, Bhootayyana Maga Ayyu, Bandhana, Naagara Hole, Hombisilu and Apthamitra. My personal favourite being 'Nagarahaavu'.

It is disgusting the way his fans or hooligans behaved . Public property was vandalised. Houses and stalls were looted. May those guys rot in hell.
As i write this i am listening to the evergreen melodious song..'Baare baare' ( P.B srinivas) from nagarahaavu.
