Rear-view Mirror

Short Flicks: 10 Minutes

2011-05-08T07:32:00.000-07:00

Dir: Ahmed Imamovic

Plot: This short film, as its title indicates lasts only 10 minutes, but it tells a much longer story which unravels only in our imagination upon seeing the end of the film. While 10 minutes in someone's life mean nothing, they can be fatal in another: a boy and his loving family, tragedy in a war-torn city, death and destruction. All in just ten minutes.

Inspired from State of Play; but adapted well and polished into perfection by the master cinematographer K.V. Anand. Lots of details. Jeeva and Ajmal underplay, looks fresh. Pia steals the show in every frame she's in. Visuals are a treat to the senses. Political thriller, gripping.

R-view 140: Ardh Satya

2011-05-08T07:10:00.000-07:00

The best Indian police movie. Classic. Realistic like hell. Om Puri should have been crowned as India's angry young man instead of AB. The mother of all guest roles, Naseeruddin Shah as Inspector Mike Lobo. This is Indian cinema, not Bollywood. Period.

Bhaskar cant seem to move on from love and love stories and worlds best love stories etc. Ram Charan Teja's second is a thumbs down, but he looks good. Genelia D'Souza is irritatingly bubbly and cute. Wot did Bhaskar slip into Genelia's drink, whatever it is, sure its double the dose tat was used for Bommarillu!

R-view 140: City of God

2011-05-08T06:53:00.000-07:00

Its fine to be inspired, but you get inspired from Amores Perros and name it City of God? Lijo Jose Pellissery disappoints in his second feature since Nayakan. Irritatingly shaky steady cam shots. Beautiful framing and lighting. Some flat characters but lots of emotion. Good BGM and tracks. Realistic in parts.

R-view 140: Yeh Saali Zindagi

2011-05-08T06:38:00.000-07:00

Guy Ritchie meets Irrfan Khan kinda humour. Neat parkour sequences and some good action. Long. Predictable.

R-view 140: Confessions

Revenge. The plot couldn't get any better twisted. Nothing short of brilliant. Must watch.

2011-05-08T06:17:00.000-07:00

Four shorts on sex and sex only. Strong in theme, fails to deliver. Down.

2011-05-08T06:13:00.000-07:00

How far would you go to accomplish something; something weird, completely make-believe.. and miserably fail at it? Obscene in parts.

R-view 140: Sukiyaki Western Django

2011-05-08T06:03:00.000-07:00

A tribute to the spaghetti western genre, funky with all those references to literature and heavily choreographed action. A treat if you can sit through some of the weird costumes and humour. And I thought only Tarantino plays around with the exploitation genre.

R-view 140: Aguirre: The Wrath Of God

2011-04-24T10:55:00.000-07:00

Madness and men, a masterpiece only Herzog can craft. A tale of obsession, sanity and the thin line in between.

2011-04-24T10:48:00.000-07:00

Docu. A fan video maybe. But lots of interesting footage and chapter graphics. Good to know about Lennon the humanist. And all those live concerts and interviews.

R-view 140: No One Knows About Persian Cats

2011-04-24T10:43:00.000-07:00

Kurd. From the director of Turtles Can Fly. Reminds of Akin's Crossing the Bridge, not a docu though. Guerrilla film making. Undergroung tales of forbidden music inspired by true events. Must watch.

R-view 140: Spanking the Monkey

2011-04-24T08:59:00.000-07:00

Incest. A difficult watch. Along the lines of a coming of age drama. Subtle comedy and striking performances.

2011-04-10T10:41:00.000-07:00

Dir: Jean Pierre Jeunet

Plot: A short comedy starring Dominique Pinon. Featuring muted colors with a sepia black and white, Pinon takes the viewer through various examples of what he "likes and dislikes".

2011-04-10T10:34:00.000-07:00

The light side of the new-found-new-wave of Tamil movies set in the rural milieu. Not your usual Tamil romance, a Rom-Com this one. And no confusing accents or Madurai slang either. Fun. Vimal****

R-view 140: Urumi

2011-04-10T10:19:00.000-07:00

First impression was "Magnum-Opus". I even looked it up on the dictionary; it fit, all that emotion, the cast, the cinematography, music, the reach. But looking at it after the first rush of excitement, the movie looks silly in parts with the revenge driven protagonist mouthing dialogues in extreme confidence, they look comical at times. The script is way too simple (and just because Santosh Sivan himself used this term) like a ballad. Amol Gupte, Arya, Nithya Menon, Jagathy Srikumar, Prabhudeva, Genelia D'souza. The humour was rib-tickling and the action sequences looked way too dull, but detailed with lots of D.I. and slow motion. A Titanic-esque ending, no I wont lash out on that, it was cheesy, my kind of ending. A twist in history or fiction? Epic. Two swords up.

Short Flicks: Agent Orange

2011-03-27T05:59:00.000-07:00

Dir: Tony Scott

Plot: A psychedelic love story of a man's frantic search to connect with his true soul mate.

2011-03-27T05:29:00.000-07:00

First impression; Susanna - Scary. Don't blame me, the dark humour was too much. The seven men excel in their screen space. Felt like reading pages of a diary, the narrative, long. Vishal Bhardwaj delivers again.

R-view 140: Happythankyoumoreplease

2011-03-27T05:10:00.000-07:00

Directed and lead by that guy from How I Met Your Mother. Was enough to get me hooked, and the interesting title. A bit slow, a tad cliched. But nice settings and cast, it does strike some chords. Feel good. Happy. Thank you. More please.

R-view 140: Ichi The Killer

2011-03-27T05:06:00.000-07:00

Work of an auteur. Guts-on-the-floor kinda violence, literally. Extremely disturbing. Still confused about how they came up with some of the torturing methods (shudders). Wacko movie.

R-view 140: 127 Hours

2011-03-27T04:56:00.000-07:00

All those split screens, what a turn-on! What would have been an extremely disturbing sequence, not when Danny Boyle takes control. Lots of layers, reminded of his own Shallow Grave. One man show. And its something like a celebration of the human spirit, life in itself.

R-view 140: Unstoppable

2011-03-27T04:33:00.000-07:00

Tony Scott never lets us down, provided he teams up with Denzel Washington. And this is one of those movies where you genuinely feel that adrenaline rush (in parts). Bright yet saturated tones as usual. Thriller.

R-view 140: Machete

2011-03-27T04:24:00.000-07:00

What started off as one of the fake trailers in the Tarantino-Rodriguez Grindhouse venture has now been made to a full blown feature film which can be included in the super-exploitation genre out there with lots of blood and guts. Danny Trejo, the big bad Mexican, in his first lead role with all the cool in the world but lacks any kind of visible changes in expression, except for the "kill kill kill" one. Gratuitous violence. Michelle Rodriguez****

R-view 140: Chaser

2011-03-27T03:50:00.000-07:00

My favorite Korean movie. Serial killer, dirty cop, the game, the chase. But above all, the Korean style of pitch black grittiness. Must watch.

R-view 140: Predators

2011-03-27T03:43:00.000-07:00

Never been a fan of the Aliens/Predators franchise. Lots of gore, looked like the usual American evil-alien thriller. Adrien Brody can look tough!

R-view 140: Dear John

2011-03-12T10:02:00.000-08:00

Neat. Some good one liners. Not too cheesy; with some flat characters. Lots of relations explored. Not a rom-com either. Straight to the point/plot.

R-view 140: Mango Yellow

2011-03-12T09:58:00.000-08:00

Brazilian. Hunk, queer, virgin, slut, necrophiliac etc. Some random characters. Some annoying sex sequences. Beautiful tones. Lush. Not ripe, raw.

R-view 140: The Losers

2011-03-12T09:16:00.000-08:00

From the director of Stomp the Yard. A pumped-down version of The Expendables, A-Team etc. with some nice guns, guts and funny one liners. Nothing new or better in the plot. Fun.

R-view 140: Yuddham Sei

2011-03-12T09:15:00.000-08:00

Mysskin is an auteur in every sense when it comes to these noir-ish crime thrillers. But all those repeated leg shots? Anjaathe had a whole sequence with the feet alone. I wonder if it turned just pretentious in Yuddham Sei. The action sequence is well choreographed (and reminds of every other Korean; Kitano movie out there). Cheran looks good, but does smash his head against the wall as usual, in despair. Cinematography deserves special mention. Slow; unless you are accustomed to watching those Korean detective movies.

R-view 140: The Fighter

2011-03-12T09:14:00.000-08:00

Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale together is a reason enough for a flick like this to go to great heights. Convincing plot and wonderful cast. One of the best boxer-movies ever. Must-watch.

R-view 140: Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey

2011-03-12T09:13:00.000-08:00

Utterly butterly boring with the very serious looking Bachchan boy uttering lines in Bengali accent. And very very long, even for a period flick. Informative, that is if this is some textbook we are talking about.

2011-03-12T09:11:00.000-08:00

We live at the edge of a great depression, emotionally/literally. To find your grip is the most important part. The rest will 'come to you'. All smiles.

R-view 140: Eesan

2011-03-12T09:10:00.000-08:00

Definitely not what was expected from the so called pioneer of the new-wave in Tamil cinema. Haven't we seen this story before? Nasty politician, spoilt son, honest cop, the innocent village family, big bad city, the rape and revenge? Long.

R-view 140: Due Date

2011-03-12T09:08:00.001-08:00

'From the director of Hang-Over.' What more should a road-movie need for a tagline! Zach Galifianakis together with Sherlock Holmes. A lot like Planes Trains and Automobiles, but has its moments.

R-view 140: Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji

2011-03-12T09:06:00.001-08:00

Bhandarkar should stick to his inside-drama/jokes/politics kinda movies. The jokes are a bit on the low side and he even managed to make Omi Vaidya sound exactly like how he was in 3 Idiots and overdo it. Filmy, very filmy.

R-view 140: The Other Guys

Mark Wahlberg does full-on mindless comedy! Otherwise a really crap-piece of motion picture.

2011-03-12T09:03:00.002-08:00

OK so they didn't want to call it Transporter 4, that's it. Everything else is the same. Statham sure can kick ass and look like he doesn't give a crap. Predictable.

Unbelievably brilliant Computer Graphics (Made in 1982!). A geek-cult-classic it should have been. Wonder what the sequel looks like.

R-view 140: Buried

2011-03-06T09:51:00.000-08:00

How do you set a feature length movie inside a wooden coffin buried in the sand with just Ryan Reynolds (no more Mr. Cheesy lover boy!) trapped in it? Must-watch.

R-view 140: Devil

2011-03-06T09:49:00.000-08:00

Has everything you would look out for in a Manoj Night Shyamalan flick (yup, he wrote the script), and he delivers it. Predictable at some point but keeps you going with its 'mind-blowing' cinematography! Thriller.

R-view 140: I'm Here

2011-03-06T09:45:00.000-08:00

Short. Emotional. Futuristic, but not the scary-apocalyptic kind. Learn to dream, and then to live for it. Get hold of the OST if available.

R-view 140: T.D. Dasan, Std. VI. B

2011-03-06T09:42:00.000-08:00

Something feel-good about this movie. Maybe it is all those 4:3 frames in between, the parallel film in film sequence or maybe it is the innocence all about the tale set in the village. Neat.

R-view 140: Grown Ups

2011-03-06T09:32:00.000-08:00

Nothing serious or special. Not even a new plot. Bet you can predict the outcome of jokes even. Watch it for the cast, all the funny guys in there.

Gautam Menon's tribute to Psycho? Dint know that a movie could be such a turn-off. Brilliant characters and back stories. Manoj Paramahamsa at the cam excels in all those night shots. A bit of the Korean serial killer flick Chaser somewhere there.

R-view 140: Salt

R-view 140: 13

2011-02-27T05:59:00.000-08:00

Remake of the minimalistic French neo-classic 13 Tzameti. But unfortunately the new version is shiny, too detailed and even has Jason Statham walking around doing nothing!

R-view 140: Aakrosh

2011-02-27T05:53:00.000-08:00

Allegedly the rip-off of Mississippi Burning. But Aakrosh is true to its plot. Fast paced, (literal) masala action sequences, Ajay Devgan at his raw-best etc. Gritty.

R-view 140: Bose: The Forgotten Hero

2011-02-27T05:45:00.000-08:00

Worst biographical movie Ive ever seen, I believe. The only movie on the legendary hero? Sachin Khedekar as Bose looks convincing. Too pretentious a plot and way too dramatic. Background score by A.R. Rahman in parts light up the otherwise boring visuals.

R-view 140: Arjunan Saakshi

2011-02-27T05:38:00.000-08:00

Started off as a very promising mystery thriller, but fell back to the oft-tracked path. Looks slick and if polished, Ranjith Sankar could and will shine better. Socially relevant? Nops, too cliched.

R-view 140: Jhootha Hi Sahi

2011-02-27T05:33:00.000-08:00

Too much of American TV sitcom humour and cheesy Rom-Com flicks can result in something like this! John excelled as the geek and some of the one liners were hilarious. But from the director of the highly entertaining Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na? Fails miserably, Friends!.

R-view 140: Aadukalam

2011-02-06T08:59:00.000-08:00

Was reminded of Subramaniapuram, Paruthiveeran and Pudhupettai. But a fresh plot from the rural milieu of Madurai with detailed characters, melodious music and steady cinematography. Too much D.I. was a turn off. Dhanush and his 'big cock' steals the show! Must-watch.

R-view 140: Dhobi Ghat

2011-02-06T08:48:00.000-08:00

Prateik is the (f)ace, a brand new one and it works. Painfully slow in parts. A powerful second half towards the ending. Lacks a proper climax. A hit or miss. Aamir underplays, charming.

R-view 140: Rakht Charitra II

2011-02-06T07:33:00.000-08:00

Would have worked better if it was released along with the Part I. RGV returns as the director who made Phoonk, Contract and Aag with not much plot to play with and hence the crazy camera movements. Surya is almost wasted, with his extreme close-up eye shots, 5.5 packs, wanna be cool one liners etc. Exact same plot as the first part. The narrative starts sounding creepy!

R-view 140: Hava Aney Dey

2011-01-19T09:07:00.000-08:00

Some cliched plot, with the middle class Bombay metro life, bar dancers, guys in love with bar dancers, cuss words, annoying fillers in between with nuclear war threats. Some nice piece of film making, the cinematography, editing etc.

R-view 140: Bengaloored

2011-01-19T08:58:00.000-08:00

2011-01-09T05:43:00.001-08:00

The Bobby-Sanjay scripting duo nails it again. An edge of the seat-dynamic thriller like never before. A first in Malayalam maybe. An amazing cast performing in control, riveting background score, invisible cuts, we have a winner! Rajesh Pillai delivers it slick. Dont feel like criticizing anything about it. Must-watch.

R-view 140: This Film Is Not Yet Rated

2011-01-09T05:32:00.000-08:00

Japanese. Takeshi Kitano has been an inspiration to many directors I revere. Realised it after watching this movie. Unpredictable, violent, funny, quirky. Kills your idea of a text-book protagonist. Lots of raw action.

R-view 140: Biutiful

2011-01-02T04:17:00.000-08:00

My favorite director's latest, and my least favorite (comparing to his previous works). Watched it from the front most row and was lost on the Javier on board. One hell of a performance. Realistic, super-natural, emotional, its a mix. Inarritu is done perfecting his multiple narratives, and now he has gone experimenting it emotionally.

2011-01-02T03:58:00.000-08:00

Are we working on an exclusive street slang for Malayalam like the 'Tapori' in Hindi? Over-use of Cochin slang all over. Mammootty excels in both the avatars. Rich visuals, as expected from the photographer-turned-director. Touching climax gimmicks. Good watch.

2011-01-02T03:49:00.000-08:00

Movie on the Time magazine's Person of the Year. Movie on the guy behind the once-in-a-generation-holy-shit idea!

Reminded of Fight Club. Im addicted.

Most violent gangster flick ever. So real action and weird sex seq'. Revenge. Unlike new-school, slow and surprising. Raw. A bit surreal.

R-view 140: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

2010-12-22T10:27:00.001-08:00

Good, as the final part in a trilogy. Starts frm whr last one left. Some random plot.

R-view 140: The Girl Who Played with Fire

2010-12-22T10:26:00.000-08:00

Better than the third part. Different director, it shows. Still interesting plot, broadens the back story.

R-view 140: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

2010-12-22T10:13:00.000-08:00

Best of the lot. Swedish. Lots of back stories. Does not affect the basic plot. Brilliant. The lead lady takes it all. Trivia: To be remade in English by David Fincher.

R-view 140: Hachiko

True story of a pet dog. Yea, cheesy enough for all those 'awww' moments. Good watch. Emotional. Richard Gere*****

R-view 140: Love in the Time of Hysteria

2010-12-21T10:50:00.000-08:00

Spanish. Who wud have thought Alfonso Cuarón's made a rom-com! Tat too a sensuous one. Comedy/Subtle satire/Crazy movie where nothing is what you expect or wish. True gem. A must-watch recommendation from me follows. "For those sick of life, love is the cure."

R-view 140: Chaos Theory

2010-12-19T08:44:00.000-08:00

Expected a rom-com or sci-fi. It was a feel-good. Ryan Reynolds looks matured. Delicate conflicts. Kinda cute. Too bright interiors, kills the mood. Does not connect to the name whatsoever!

R-view 140: Aashayein

Anaitha Nair steals the show. John dying to give 100% and Kukunoor? Doubt it. Melodrama. Light in parts. Has its moments. Hope is a beautiful thing if you wanna make a movie on it.

R-view 140: The Film Emotional Atyachar

2010-12-18T10:39:00.000-08:00

Guy Ritchie gone desi? Weird quirky plot, dialogues and cast. Kalki wasnt very convincing. Light. Good directorial debut.

R-view 140: The Town

2010-12-18T10:38:00.000-08:00

Ben Affleck's second is a winner. My fav genre: Heist + Chase. Tight scripted thriller. Predictable.

R-view 140: Kutty Srank

2010-12-18T10:36:00.000-08:00

Lush. Better magic than realism. So many layers. Mammootty has a stiff face. Once in a while masterstroke. Shaji N. Karun*****

R-view 140: Action Replayy

2010-12-18T10:35:00.000-08:00

The obvious plagiarism. Leaving tat out, wacky and retro all the way. Funny in parts. Akshay leads the laugh riot. And lots of bling. Tatz it.

R-view 140: Smash His Camera

2010-12-18T10:33:00.000-08:00

Docu. The paparazzi life explained. Best of Hollywood's candid moments. Lotta old world details. Interesting. Engaging.
