Man from Earth – a movie to watch

Posted by toalakan-web on April 13, 2011 1 comments

Man from Earth is one of amazing movies that I have seen in my life.  I’m not even sure how the writer of this movie came with a concept like this when we humans forget what we ate yesterday and don’t know what will happen in the next few days.

It has no action,no graphics just arguments going on between a group of scientist and man that was awesome to watch and listen. Well I’m actually feeling productive after watching such a thought provoking movie.

My mind is already wandering around like crazy, hopefully I will get some sleep.

Its available in Netflix instant stream check it out.

Inception – a programmers nightmare

Posted by toalakan-web on July 18, 2010 None comments

Yesterday  I watched the Inception and it is one of the best movies that I have seen in a while with all those jumps between multiple dream states and keeping track of the flow of the movie  engages your mind constantly. It’s quiet possible that people won’t follow the movie even if they miss a few minutes of the movie.

It was like trying to figure out a bug in a 5 year old Spaghetti coded application. If you miss a few steps then you have to start from the beginning.

If you like the movies like Matrix, Identity and Memento then you would certainly enjoy it.

Waiting to buy the DVD during Thanksgiving :)

Slumdog Millionaire is Slum

Yes the title says it. Its a really good desi masala movie packed in a nice little tamper proof plastic cup so that it can be cooked instantly in your DVD player.

As I was watching it I was wondering why it got nominated for Grammy and Oscars come on people haven’t you watched a better movie in your language.

I’m still wondering when was the last time Indians talked in Millions we follow the Indian Number system which is lakhs and crores.  The kids playing cricket reminds of  Chennai 28 which was a good movie.

Hell yeah this movie wasn’t  made for Indians it was made for the International community who are curious to know/learn about Mumbai after the November 26,2008 Mumbai attack.

Well there is one thing this movie has is A.R. Rahman but the Jai ho sounds similar to a track from Om Shanti Om and I’m not sure which song it is.

Its good marketing guys but don’t expect this to run this movie in India you know the result.

If only Kamal Hasan learns to market like these guys his Virumandi one of the best movies I have ever seen would have won a national award at least.

If you liked this movie then try watching yet another master piece called Pesum Padam/Pushpak from Kamal.

Man of simple words

I was watching this movie Iru vallavargal which I watched assuming that the Paradee Kanney song was from this movie. Its a typical 60′s masala tamil movie which is way better than current masala movies.

But I was quite amazed with Kannadasan lyrics for the sad situation. Its just 4 lines and about 25 words but he brings in the whole concept of life in to that. These concepts,ideas and words all have been there for centuries but he some how gets all these in to those 4 lines which can be understood by any one.

Uravu Irunthal Pirivu Irukum Ulaga Neethe
Vaaravu irunthal Selavu irukum Valkai neethe
Pagal Irunthal Iravu irukum Iraivan Neethee
Palakiya Pin vilakuvathey Manitha Jathi.

Here is the translation for the above lyrics..correct me if I’m wrong.

If there is relation then there is separation thats Worlds rule.
If there is earning then there is Expense thats life’s rule.
If there is day then there is night thats gods rule.
same way Alienating after spending time with you is the Human Race.

I couldn’t find this song any where but if you would like to hear it then please go to the video here and move to 7.25 and you can hear Sirkali singing it a much better way.
