Puneet Malhotra’s debut directorial venture, ‘I hate Luv Storys’ is a spoof of all the Chopra/ Johar romantic comedies we have seen over the years, with occasional references to Dil Chahta Hai and a couple of Bhansali movies. And it does go all the way. From exotic swiss locales to the insanely repetitive airport chase sequences, the makers have spoofed everything. And that’s fun to watch, especially if you have seen the originals! There are some genuinely funny scenes and dialogues, and some of Imran’s expressions are priceless!
“It’s not about being gay or straight. It’s just a question of love”
Movie - Juste Une Question D'Amour (Just a Question of Love)
Director - Christian Faure
Cast - Cyrille Thouvenin, Stephan, Eva Darlan & Others
In all technicality, this movie is supposed to fall under the colorful ‘Gay Themed’ category- but I simply can’t bring myself to do it. Attaching such a stereotypical label to a film such as this one would indeed be a shame.
Directed by Christian Faure, Juste Une Question D’Amour originally aired on France’s France 2 Network in the prime time slot. In the following two weeks, the lead actors, Cyrille and Stéphan received at least 2000 letters of praise each from viewers- and after watching this film, I see why.
Although my brother feels that the movie was a yawn-a-rooney, I will differ significantly, naming Toy Story 3 one of the best pieces of animation to come out of Pixar Studios. A suiting third part to a great series, Toy Story 3 does not disappoint the viewer, as has been the case with other movie series, wherein the third part loses the charm that the previous two movies have built. This movie which was dubbed Pixar's great gamble, has paid off big time in the Box Office, beating the last record holder, Shrek 3, with a total income of $41,148,961 on its opening day at the box office from 4,028 theaters. So, what makes this movie such a success?
I just finished watching Rajneeti, and I must say, I wasn't very impressed. Probably because I went in with a lot of expectations, thanks to the innumerable good reviews the movie has gotten, and that I happened to notice. The movie is good, but not fantastic. It seems to me that the film is all about political retribution. It's about a bunch of dirty politicians, all of whom seem to be immoral and terribly flawed... which is fine, since I don't expect everyone to be righteous. But, do they all have to be murderers? They don't flinch before pulling a trigger, or orchestrating a murder; what is appalling is that not one of those politicians comes across as sympathetic, someone I could connect with, someone I would vote for in an election, for instance! I agree politicians have to be shrewd, they have to be street- smart, and maybe sometimes foxy; its a dirty world, and the competition is cut- throat (no pun intended), but do they all have to be conniving criminals?
The duo did it back in 2007 with Oscar Winner, The Bourne Ultimatum and they return with a blast in a sensational war thriller, Green Zone. Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass are two such names who deliver high voltage pulsating entertainment when they unite for a thriller project. Inspired by the book Imperial Life in the Emerald City by journalist Rajiv Chandrasekaran, Green Zone is a rare impulsive combination of facts and fiction behind political mismanagement. The sheer brilliance of Matt Damon, terrific execution of Paul Greengrass and prolific hand held camerawork; Green Zone is a perfect political war autopsy exposing the faulty culprit under the self made mask as it has its own share of political criticism about being anti American...
