Watchability Rating :- 4/10
Yaathumagi.. Podhumaagi !!

I am in total agreement of not giving the Oscar for best film and director to Avatar  but at the same time feel unjustfied to give it to hurt locker. This was one of the film that I left of in the middle.

Avatar was too much concentrated on special effects and not on story. The entire story is very predicatable from start to end.

Hurtlocker is more like a documentary rather than a film and thats what made me not get impressed with this film.

Watchability Rating :- 7/10

Kaadhal Unarvu virumbihalukku oru iniya virundhu !!

Matra anaivarukkum.. Vinnai thaandi varuvaaya.. nichayamaha vara maatal !!

8 Characters, 1 room, no explosions, no stunts, no fireworks, no big casts, no million $ sets. Just a fantastic screenplay and superb Movie…
Watch and you will appreciate too…

You normally see a few jokes here and there in Tamil movies.
A reasonably intelligent movie like Chennai 600028 trips on Chandramukhi

Venkat Prabhu’s own Saroja trips on Chennai 28

Thalaivar Rajini’s Sivaji tripped on so many movies - Tamil & Telugu (a la Om Shanthi Om’s intelligent spoofs)

But, this movie, as described by the director is possibly Kollywood’s answer to Scary Movie, Hot Shots & Naked Gun.

QUOTE
Says Dhayanidhi, “Tamil Padam is the first ever full length spoof film in Tamil. The story is a humorous take on the predictable Tamil formula films.”

CS Amudham the director of the film says: “ In Hollywood the spoof is a popular genre and there has been films like ‘Scary Movie’ a spoof on horror films. Similarly we are spoofing the Tamil mass film. You will laugh your guts out. In short it’s celebration of Tamil cinema.”

UNQUOTE

Everything I have seen and heard so far is mega-spoofy. The director, C S Amudhan has an ad agency called Winds of Change which does Outdoor (Hoardings, Banners, etc). Pulli Raja, Prime Roaster and those atrocious Fitness One ads were all his creations… So, it figures.

Take the Soundtrack. The song “O Maha Zeeya” is one great spoof of all the nonsense which goes on in the name of lyrics in a lot of Harris Jeyaraj songs… The title refers to the gibberish heard at the start of “Uyirin Uyire” in Kaakka Kaakka

 

Spoofs  in the O Maha zeeya song (or This)
Uyirin Uyire- Kaakka Kaakka
Hasili Fisili – Aadhavan
Randakka – Anniyan
Naakka Mukka – Kaadhalil Vizhundhen
Dailamo Dailamo – Dishum Dishum
Balailaka – Sivaji
Ohi lohi mahi lohi ya – Beema
Osaka Muraiya – Alli Arjuna (Rahman’s One 2 ka 4)
Shakalakka – Mudhalvan
Ullahi ullahi – Lesa Lesa

And the best one .. Laalaakku Dol Dappimma – Suriyan

Spoofs in the Trailer (or This )
Absurd Action packed Vijay Intro Sequences (Camera from Top in this case)
Dasavatharam (The US President and all)
Nayagan (Inime appadithaan with Nayagan theme in the background)
Boys (4 pairs of legs dangling from a wall)
Sivaji (2 hand signing)
Baadsha
Simbhu (Style)
Billa (cooling glass scene)
Run (subway sequence)
Kaaka Kaaka (aerial shot)
Thalapathy
And the coolest : The town is called Cinema Patti… How cool is that!!

Spoofs in Movie Stills

In addition to the movies mentioned above,

Roja (The couple inside the same sweater)
Annamalai (The brown suit and low camera angles)
Uyire (The mail poster)
Sathya (The hospital sequence)
Baba (trips on the Baba mudra)

Poster Spoofs
Ramki’s Dafli Song in Senthoora Poove (Image, Video) and the Poster (The exact frame appears exactly 60 seconds into the video)

Singaravelan’s Pudhu Cheri Kacheri (Image, Video) and the Poster (Note the tongue in cheek ad)

Enga Ooru Paattukaaran’s Senbagame (Image, Video) and the Poster . (Ramarajan is just awesome fun as he is trying to sing  when he is busy milking the cow (See this to believe it) . Shanthipriya coyly watches the sequence (Guffaw!)

Rajini’s Konji Konji from Veera and (Image, Video) and Poster

Thillana Mohanambal (Image 1,Image 2 ) and Poster with M.S Bhaskar playing Balaiyya’s Thavil Vidhvan’s role

Pre-Release Concept Posters

The first one which came out talked about the movie not being a “Different one”

One more poster of the movie takes Gap10’s trip by using the MS font Jokerman (LOL) and says a sorry before that by asking for the only word in tamil which Gap10 does not like

Another poster spoofs the typical rape scene in tamil movies by showing a male hand forcing a female hand in front of a painting showing a tiger slaying a deer

One is a preachy Gap10 kind of dialogue referencing Gandhiji, etc and at the same time referring to tons of Punch Dialogues

One features the 10 commandments of Tamil cinema (Commandment 9 is Thou Shall single-handedly take on & eradicate all the evil in the world and commandment 10 is Thou shall have a six-pack) … There are some really nice differences between the Tamil & English versions.

The next Bond film is getting ready… Same daniel craig… I think he best suits villain role than hero

The third in the trilogy. If you like the first two parts, you will definitely love this. Now I am awaiting the next block buster. Rush hour 3

 Vs 

This week’s movie marathon is all about harry potter and Transformers. Two entirely different films in the same day continuously. One is a magical film while another is a scientific fiction. Have seen both end of worlds in 5 hours of fun packed entertainment.

If you read the harry Potter book already, you will be in tears….. I somewhat like the books but why do they keep changing the story in the books to something completely different? It is an usual Harry potter movie….

The special effects in Transformers were breathtaking. Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg together did wonderful job. From the end of the film, I think there would be a second part coming up since the villan robot Megatron was just dropped in ocean. Enjoy the film from a nearby theatre since viewing Transformers as a download will not give 100% entertainment.

Lot of new movies are piling up and am not able to see them all. Hence
decided to watch them back to back to back. Yes… 3 movies in a row. Went to
Rave theatres in Montgomery at 11:30 AM starting with Live free die hard.
Trailer’s below…

Believe me.. this is the best of the previous 3 parts. Its 130 minutes of
adrenaline gushing action movie.

After this at 1:45 PM went to the next stadium for Ocean’s 13. It is another action / adventure.
After that at 3:45 PM went to Evan Almighty a comedy film by Steve Carell and Morgan Freeman.

I need to make another back to back, for July releases like Transformers, Harry Potter, Sunshine , Rush Hour 3
