Jumper - 2008 - English

I think there are many movies about Time travel. but not about "flying to a different place at the speed of thought", a skill attributed mostly to tamil sitthars.

And jumper is about that skill. What happens when a human being has the skill to travel at the speed of thought , just by thinking is the premise of this movie, with all the good vs evil thrown in ...

Ok to watch...

Mamma Mia - 2008

Mamma Mia is a musical.

When even tamil films have done with the type of films where anyone and everyone sings every 5 minutes for decades, this is an english film which resembles a tamil film from the 50s. A song every 5 minutes.

The fact the music is good is a different matter altogether, which is why this movie has become famous. The music was good, the locations were good, the actors were good and dont even ask what is the story ...

In Bruges

In Bruges is one of the awesome film that I have seen in recent times.

In my view what made the filma awesome are the screen play, the background score, and the witty dialogue.

Someone must have liked the city of Bruges, in which the story of this film is set very much which comes across in the film.

Poi Solla Porom - Tamil - 2008

Poi solla Porom is the remake of Khosla ka Ghosla and this is the second remake from the director Vijay, the first one being Krieedom.

Poi solla porom was advertised as an out and out comedy film, but I didnot find anything comic in it.

the movie is clearly targeted at the multiplex crowd bcos it had no fights, no senti etc... And for a change, Karthik appears as a person wanting to go to America instead of being the America Return :-)

If you would like to see a movie about the hardships faced during construction of a house , you can just watch "veedu" from Balu Mahendra

Ok ... can be skipped.

cheers

Saroja - Tamil - 2008

With the release of Saroja, Venkat Prabhu proves that the success of Chennai-600028 was not a fluke.

I havent seen many movies from the road movie genre in Tamil and saroja I believe would fall into the genre of road movies.

Saroja is a slickly made film and the best element of the film is its comedy, music and the camera work.

Worth seeing.

Kungfu Panda - English - 2008

A good animation movie with a nice story.

Heard that this movie created a furore in china because the chinese have a soft corner for their national animal panda and
they would never try to make a movie with a Panda as a sloppy, lazy, fat character.

Spiderwick Chronicles - English - 2008

A good timepass Fantasy Movie.
