I didnt update the blog last week (was lazy) but I watched many movies last weekend (oct 6,7). I dont even remember all the titles. Here is the list of the ones for this weekend.
Memento(English): Watching it for 2nd time. A good movie. Brilliant screenplay. Nice sub-plot. It depicts a novel way of capturing an ordinary story.
3:10 to Yuma (English): OK. The climax scene was moving. Other than that the remaining part was ok. I felt it was not a great movie because the weakness in story. The story is all about moving a thief from one village to the nearby train station. The protagonist agrees to do it for some amount.
Death Proof (English): The photography was different. Though it is made in latest times, it looks as if its a period movie. Some of the dialogues are interesting as in all Tarantino's movies. The camera work for the accident was excellent. Its a kinda simple movie about a psycho killer. Its a time pass movie for me.
Chirutha (Telugu/Indian): Routine, cliche movie. The director's(Puri) affect is seen only in later half that too in some scenes. It lacks a story. Couldnt bear the action of the heroine. She overacted almost all scenes. Not recommended.
From dusk till dawn (English): The first half was ok. I didnt like the later part where its all about vampires. Except a couple of scenes, the movie was not good.
Sliver (English): It was ok. Not a good story. I felt the ending was incomplete. The movie has nothing except the romantic scenes.
Happy Days (Telugu/Indian): A good one. The movie is not an idealistic/realistic one but its purely entertaining. All the minute elements were arranged in such a way that overall the movie flows of like a cool breeze. The songs were an asset. I liked the "Rajesh" character so much. I burst out laughing at every dialogue of his. I kinda associated to people in real world. Other characters were too etched nicely. As the movie had 4 pairs, the screen space was arranged nicely and aptly. One pair is general youthful affair. The tyson's one was innocent and pure. Rajesh's was comic and Shankar's had very les space but selfish type. The elements which made me think its not an idealistic movie are the magics done by Tyson, principal being good, friendly and wise (I havent seen one in India like that so far, whereever I studied) and some minor things here and there. Other than that the movie entertains you to the fullest if you are from one of the similar colleges.
