The Bucket List

Nobody wants to die alone...... *** This comment may contain spoilers *** the movie starts with a depressing note... absolutely no music in the 1st half. The movie is a bit slow in the beginning but the tenderness of feeling can be demonstrated slow only. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are 2 cancer patients...Jack Nicholson is a billionaire and Morgan Freeman is a middle class man. Doctor tell them that they have months left. Then the movie gains some pace and also some background score, they make a list of things that they wanna do before they die (go into the bucket) and that is the "bucket list". In the remaining movie they try to do stuffs written in the list and one by one they do things and strike off from the list. The acting cant be criticized as they are the big guns. The screenplay may get the points in innovative script but rest is not out of ordinary...one particular thing about the movie is that Morgan Freeman narrates the story and in the end he dies........

Taare Zameen Par

Toooo slow........ Acting : 4.0/4 No doubt about, it all the marks given, Not only Aamir Khan n Darsheel Safary but all other have done a great job Direction : 0.6/1 Cinematography : .9/1.0 Some scenes are very good like the one with the drawing competition where many people are sitting in the amphitheatre etc. Screenplay : .5/1.0 No, it is not good, the movie is not placed rightly thats why scenes are not merged together or knitted together, flow is altered in some manner.Screenplay is not that good as sometimes the movie goes on slow then again it turns into a senti scene, film editing also can be blamed here. Sound, Music, Sound : 2.0/2.0 I like the music, the title track, jame raho n Ma Make up: .2/1.0Makeup is not upto the mark, the scene where Ishaan fights with that boy, the wounds are looking fake. total : 8.2/10 After writing this I can easily say watch the movie cause it has something out of the general. Also this is the first time for Aamir Khan in direction he will improve ...

An ecstatic musical all the way

My categorized comment about the whole movie is like this Acting : 3.0/4 Direction : 0.5/1 Screenplay : 0.7/1 Cinematography : 0.9/1 Sound : 0.8/1 Music, Dance n Song : 2.0/2 in all 7.9/10 All in all it is a very good musical movie, actually its songs are very good and also the choreography is exceptionally good. Salim, Sulaiman should be given the credit for the wonderful music. Also, one particular thing about the movie is its song is shown in parts that gives a kinda different touch to the movie. At last the play portrayed at the end of the movie is wisely knitted. Must watch for a music lover, for choreography and ya for Madhuri fans.

The Market, The money and you

As I am writing this article, the sensex is climbing up or going down... This is the volatility that is going on these days in the market. If the market is volatile we can earn a great deal out of it and its not the time of longterm investment. The volatility of the maket these days is evident from the fact that a single stock is changing upto 43% in a day. The two most voolatile stock in the market are RNRL and Essar Oil. Relianace group stocks and the Indiabulls stocks are these days the best stocks for intra day trading as they are changing each day. If a person wants to earn some money out of the market, the time is ripe now. But on the other side of hedge stands the losses that they can incur to the retail investors. if the stock is going down a retail investor has a proclivity of keeping the stock thinking that it will come up again. But this kind of penchant is not doing any good for the retail investors at least. If a stock is going up you should sell that stock if you have ear...

The Pianist

The inside picture of a common man ... entangled in war My comment about this movie is not different from others..It is a very good movie with quite a good direction and cinematography...Now for the folks who were in front of camera... It is inevitable that Adrien Brody will come on the top of the list... excellent face expression, unmatchable body language..the staggered way of walking' is I think the best part of it... Evrybody in the movie has done a great job... for every small role...I think this movie worth a watch and most of all a thinking... this is a movie that will of course leave an imprint in your mind that will remain forever..to sum up...a masterpiece by Roman Polanski...

Chak de India

Right place right time around I-day Once again it is proved that patriotism is the weak point for Indians.Indians want to see movies with patriotism thrust in it. This actually proves the thing that how the movie has left the box office ticking. The Director and the Production house has capitalized on this theory and of course the rivalry between India and Australia. If it would have been a movie released a few years back the final would have been between India and Pakistan.Okay lets see what we can say about the movie, storyline not a new one (except for the hockey), though some say it is. Screenplay is quite predictable. Now what , let's take the acting, it is not good though we didn't expected much from the new comers but some scenes needed retake.Let's talk about Preeti Sabarwal (some Ghatge), her expression is not more than a log of wood and in spite of that she is given a role that stands apart from the crowd (bad choice of actress for this role).Chautala and Naik are...
