Sherlock Holmes - Games only Sherlock can play!


Though at first Sherlock seems to be mimicking all that he did in past venture, but the ideas are yet different and thus the value of information is an addendum as always! Though certain capabilities are far fetched, he will not be the much followed detective otherwise. 

Probably, Watson is the first side kick who adds "super" to the super-heroes. The chemistry, literally, works well here. Hans Zimmer's composition evolves through the situations - climbs on the suspense, loosens the mystery. Darkest are more haunting with his toned string orchestration.

The charming nature of this duo is heavily built on the comedy as much as it is on detective and stunt skills. The games mystical moves are well balanced and that make this fantasy action more brainy! The Europe was brought back to its early 18s but the mythical darkness only gives more dramatic atmosphere.

But unlike last franchise, the plot, knot and the solution is more logical. Robert Downy Jr. and Jude law share such a pleasant presence in the screen. They are now more fitting. 

It may not be a jump from Burj Khalifa but it is the most gripping and tight lined narration best told in this season except for the husky, fast paced tighter conversations, unmatched speedy Sherlock thoughts and the more eyes paining darker situations. May be it is the best "The end", prompting the sequel..simple and stylish!! - Dec 18, 2011

Mission Accomplished - Ghost Protocol

                                       
What would you wait 2 hours in the queue for? Melancholy acting in a high emoted drama? Documenting soulfully the true events? art house deliverables? Nah...If not Rajinikanth it should be at least Tom Cruise in a knuckle Breaking action, tensed spring high fly stunts, high voltage power pack. You have it all here.
That too - extra large - IMAX scenes. Screen plays the trick when it rises and ebbs magnificently giving not a moment to realize you have your eyes zoomed out, already.


If not Afghanistan, Pakistan, whateversthans.....it is old fashioned Russia - Nuclear bomb - save the world - sow MI5.

Even before the set rolled on the floor, the obvious was Tom, the saviour. But expectations were for the stunt brilliance and the gripping screenplay with a content. While "Ghost" delivers the former trembles in the latter, "the protocol". Movie kicks off with the series of events - the Prison, Russia and Dubai - each shares special credit on adrenaline pumping. Well toned and tight fit Tom is amazing, still. But he neither has a strong villain to fight against nor an interesting, note worthy cause to fight for. Actions drains when the plot moves to India, incidentally though.

After you have your scales set high, the climax should be the cliff. But it just flashes and turns off like an indicator at the Car parking - believe  that's where this high voltage finally shuts down. Not to miss, Anil Kapoor fits "the only comedian" role well. Felt if the mission these days are missing John woo's emotion grip which ultimately becomes the mind blog once all the gimmicks simmer. Noteworthy for the IMAX captures. A no brain but a very entertainer.

As you leave what is that flight sequences trickling your mind - chopping the tail, guys roping down from the sky - haunting music with a man dropping a mask.. Yeah, if you miss the teaser scenes of Dark Knight Rises, better get a ticket to where it plays. That's the next thing to wait in the queue for! - Dec 18, 2011

Dirty Picture

Either you just celebrate or deliver it deliberate. This most hyped film that promised to bring the hard life of the most celebrated southie vamp of our times to the screens has just thrown only the colours of her dreams and missed the dream.

The first half, had it not been Naseeruddin, the movie would have slumped into its own dirt. On every appearance he brings us back to wherever this movie tried us to.
Vidhya has taken the big step with all the ease and has put her amazing courage to don such an act. But she would have seldom realised that she had actually become an other silk in reality too. But Vidhya does it with finesse. It does bring the brave act of Smitha that we heard of - Much supporting was the dialogues.The writer must have put an extra effort to become the savior.


If this movie intends to show the reason for the rise and fall of the glam doll- and if it slams the worst pig-head celebrities for that- it needn't show her inner all the frames which finally ends doing to Vidhya what was done to silk. Music reassures esp in the BGM's that it is nothing less than the dirty picture.The funny chimes fades and leaves the stronger conversations merely a PJ. Ill timed songs- ooh la la is an escape.


After such an explosive openings, the director brings silk on the track and tried to show what she was earning and yearning. But dumps the purpose when the climax doesn't even stand as long Vidhya's Saree does. It finally leaves no impact not even as much as the first part did - in its own way! 
Movie delivers what it promised in the teasers and trailers but not what it dreamt to or what it claimed to. The dirty picture shamelessly covers itself in bits and pieces. - Dec 3, 2011
