Movie Review - NEWYORK

hey...

just came back from the multiplex...went to watch NEWYORK, I was just leaving the multiplex when one of my friends was just getting in to watch the same movie...He asked me, "How is NEWYORK"? I just replied, you'll like the movie!!!

So, basically Newyork is take on 9/11 attacks and the story revolves around that, but the thing which is different in this is, it depicts the emotional side of it. it suceeds to an extent in doing that. it gives an insight about how the US held around 1200 people as suspects for the attacks, which they didnt have any evidence and ultimately had to be released....that portion about the torture is shot very accurately, it does create an impact!

The movie is REAL( i mean it) u do relate to the circumstances under which one might take up acts that might be harmful to the society...

Neil does a good job at his role and is convincing as an undercover FBI agent, parts of the conversations shot between him and irrfan are picked up from a video game "Black"....but are effective, he delivers a good performance....katrina and john do a good job too....it seems irrfan is the next Iftekar...seems to play a cop every second movie and seems to master the art of interogating(last time he did this was in slumdog)

music is good and fits the situation perfectly...my fav is the JUNOON track....

overall a good movie, personally I would rate it 3.5 out of 5

so, Take some time off and watch this movie....worth a watch....

Movie Review - Fast and The Furious 4

Hey, just couldn't have missed out on this one...I am a FAN of the Fast and furious series so this one was a must watch for me!

So it is really worth it? does it match up with the last three flicks? read on....

Opening sequence
I have not seen a killer opening sequence like this in the series, its just two good...the landscape in which it is shot is looks two awesome and just couldn't stop shouting in the theater!!! what a killer sequence!!

The story -
The movie feels more or less like a sequel to the first one, this one has Letty (Dom's GF) getting killed through a gang of bad boys (braga)...Dom going out for the bad guys and in his pursuit Brian joins along as he needs braga to crack the drugs racket!! A plot that is not too new I would argue...we already see that in a lot of Hindi movies don't we....

but when you are watching a movie like The fast and furious, you hardly care about the story, all of you want to see is Cars RACE .and trust me this doesn't not fall short of expectation...this movie has introduced racing with traffic on...all you have is your GPS and you follow the instructions....The race sequences in the movie are just awesome....I was actually feeling the thrill and was yelling out loud in the theater...

The Fast and Furious series throws light on new types of racing styles with each movie...this one introduced Traffic in races (as Tokyo drift was all about Drifts!!)...

Another highlight are the Tunnel sequences,they are so terrific that it is too good to believe that someone can drive in maddening speeds inside the tunnel....

Performances -
Vin diesel as Dominic Toretto puts up another killer performance, his screen presence is immense and overshadows all the others. Paul Walker as Brian O'Connor also puts up a good performance. Also back is Jordana Brewster as Mia, Dom's sister and Brian's love interest, and Michelle Rodriguez as the tough-as-nails Letty, Dom's girlfriend.

Saving...

Verdict -
All in all...a movie that does not disappoint at all...being a FAN of the series I expected a lot more out of the and to be honest my trill quotient was fulfilled to an extent...a couple of killer race sequences would have added to the trill nevertheless...

I would give 3.5/5 for the movie...

I would definitely recommend it to be watched....I don't need to mention but to reinstate You MUST watch it in a theater to experience the thrill!!

so fellas go out and enjoy this movie, just incase you haven't done as yet!!
