Eternal sunshine of the sptoless mind.

The love story of a shy guy and exotic and impulsive girl. They fell in love, they fight, the girl went to get her memory of him erased from her mind. When the guy came to know about it, he went to the same clinic to get her memories erased from his head.

While technician erasing each memory , we get to watch that memory. While her memories getting wiped out , the guy decides that her memories are important so wanted to cancel the process. But as he is unconscious ,so, he could not do much. So he tried to hide her in memories where she was not there before, making it hard for technician to finish what he had started.

Meanwhile, the pissed off receptionist, who understood that she was once in relationship with the old doctor and then got her mind erased of his memories, resigns her job, took all the records with her and sends them to the clients.

The guy and the girl, met each other in a train again , treats each others as strangers and they went out.  After receiving their records they realize that they were in a relationship, and wanted to continue it.

Jim Karrey and Kate Winslet. Those were the keyword for me to go for the movie. For a change, i have seen a movie where Jim Karrey wont act like " The Mask" Jim Karrey. I never knew Jim Karrey is such a fine actor for romantic comedies and Kate Winslet excelled as a girl who changes the hair color to match with her dress.

The Great Gatsby

The story of an eternal lover trying to get his love back , though she is married to someone else.

I have not read the original work, just saw the movie. I think, what the movie say is, that, guys are good at giving commitment and girls are not. The hero loves her so much that, he is ready to take the death of woman who was killed in a car accident by the girl he loves on his head. And the girl , who jumps into the love at first kiss with hero, then , love at first gift with somebody in the absence of hero and marries the second guy , who is not loyal to her. Then our hero, The Great Gatsby, tries to win her heart by throwing parties for her and throwing expensive clothes at her. She comes close to him, and her husband came to know whats going on.

When the husband takes off the cover which is hiding the whole thing, Gatsby says the girl never loved him. The girl confirms the same in low voice, but when husband asks her again after reminding her a romantic moment, she changed tune to , i loved him in past but now loves Gatsby.  The husband successfully annoys Gatsby regarding his low-born, when Gatsby loses his temper and tries to hit her husband, the girl starts crying and could not come close to Gatsby. On the way to home, the girl hits the mistress of her husband with a car. Husband of the girl,  convinces the husband of that mistress-girl, that its Gatsby with whom she is having an illegitimate relationship.

In a trial to protect the girl, Gatsby got ready to take the blame of death on him. The girl and her husband leaves the home for good. And our poor Gatsby waits for her call which confirms the elope. While he was waiting for the call, the husband of the mistress-girl, shots him in the heart.

The acting-crew performed so well that, i hated the characters. The author might have succeeded in what he wants to inspire in people. Have to read the original work, for a better judgment.

Seven Samurai

An old Black & White Japanese movie. Its the movie from which sholey is inspired. Of course, there are major differences.

Seven Samurai, maintained a simple story line than sholey. In sholey, villain character is elevated more than protagonists.

Village is attacked by group of bandits after harvesting. On the advise of village old man, a group of villagers set out to city in search of Samurais who would risk their lives to save the village. These are poor farmers, so there is no reward for the samurais , except rice.

To their luck, seven samurais agree for the deal. They come to the village, prepare battle plan, strengthens the defence of the village, train villagers for battle, won the battle. A simple story, but captivating photography and screenplay. Though , its three and half hours long movie, i never felt boredom. A must watch for drama genre lovers. 

Wreck-it Ralph

An animated movie which I found interesting. All the characters in the movie are characters of computer games.

The story starts with the meeting of antagonists from all computer games. Ralph, a bad guy in his game , expresses his desire to be praised, to be accepted by other characters of his game. Rest of the villains, warn him that all characters must respect the programs and do the job which they were designed to do. Sounds like the doctrine of everything-is-destined.

But Ralph wanted a gold medal which the heroes get, to get some respect from the other characters. So he leaves his game in search of one. Without villain, what any hero can do? Kids who paid money to play the game at the gamezone complain to the owner that the game is malfunctioning. Characters of the game realize that, there is a fat chance the arcade game will be thrown away if Ralph doesn't return. So the hero of the game leaves it to search him.

After messing up other games as well, everybody realize the importance of all the characters in a game. The story ends with every game working properly.

Nice story, I find it a bit boring for 5 min, but it made me sit and watch.

Nautanki Saalaa

Its one movie I watched because of the hero I.e Vicky donor fame.

The hero gave his best just like he did in Vicky donor, but the movie has too many twists, too many songs and too much emotional drama. The comedy of first half is great, but I found no humor in second half, though the background music begs me to understand that it's a comedy scene.

The story is best suited for a soap opera or a novel. The directed might have wanted to orchestra the audience between love and humor but the end result is boring.

Ship of theseus

If anybody believes that a boring film in  documentary style is an art film , so a great film, then this movie is for them.

Ship of Theseus is a philosophical question , " If all parts of a ship are replaced, then is it original ship or not . " The director tried to use that in organ donation , but , failed.

The movie depicts lifestyles of organ recovers more than anything to do with the philosophical question. I think he should have pictured the lives of receivers after transplantation was done.  The way director portrayed the kidney-business is good. That is the only part not boring in the entire movie.

Not to worry, there is comedy too. I was giggling like a school kid at a scene which shows how to put deadpan to an old lady with broken leg, including pre and post washing of it.

Oka prema katha chitram

Another refreshing, low budget telugu movie, which kept the tiny sparkle of my interest to watch telugu movies at theater alive.

Its a horror-comedy-flick which is not a spoof. There is a devil, we get scared but at the same time can't stop laughing. We laughed so hard that we missed few dialogs.

I found few romantic songs unnecessary but they helped to fade away the LOL.

I am not going to discuss the story because, it's a horror movie. Anyway, I highly recommend that everybody should watch it.

American history X

I always found prison movies interesting. A group of men , who came under one roof, for not following the rules of the society. And how those men will behave? Most of the actions of freemen are influenced by the fear of punishment by either God or court. But how those men behave, when they are punished.

But in most of the prison movies, the protagonist is either falsely accused or did the crime impulsively. So, the emotions of the hero would be " paddling against the bad luck" or  " regretting impulsive actions".

This movie didn't follow those. The lead character, full of ego, arrogance, racism and hatred
, did the crime, went to prison, learned lessons from fellow prisoners, returned home as a responsible man, tried to stop his brother from walking through the ugly path he took.

Well, I might have said it in a boring way, but the action of Edward Norton, the gripping screenplay and photography, will leave clear prints on mind. I became fan of Edward Norton after this movie. Playing the role of a arrogant man who can't hide hatred towards other race is no easy thing.

The protagonist lead life in an illusion that, white race is superior to others. He participates in neo Nazi movement and forms a gang and started hurting others. In the world he is living, white race can't be touched, in that arrogance he kills a black guy who tried to steal his vehicle. He felt like a judge while killing him and felt proud of what he did in front of his family. All those superficial feelings vanished, when police caught him, the coldness of handcuffs brought him to reality, that he is not a God.

He might be small town rowdy, but in prison, in the presence of all those criminals, he felt helpless, scared, and started looking for friends. When he found few others like him , felt safe but disgusted by them when gang leaders of every race cooperate each other. When he expressed his disapproval, he was humiliated by them and left alone. 

He was forced to accept the fact that, life is like a prison with every kind of person in it. To beat the prison  guards or God, we need to cooperate.

When he got back home, he surprises his family and friends with his cool nature and felt sad and angry when he realized that his little brother treats him like a hero for what he did and following his foot prints.

A must watch watch drama.

Django unchained

For a long time I was waiting for a good drama movie. Somebody suggested me that it's a drama, so I watched. The movie is above average. It's by some famous director, they said, I didn't really care about that. Presence of waltz and decaprio is good enough reason.

The story is all about the friendship between a German bounty hunter who doesn't believe in racism and an African-American , and their quest to search and rescue the wife of the Blackman. It's one of those which requires empathy , but as I belong to another nation and another time, I could not really get connected with those characters. Its less drama and more cowboy style of shooting movie. Anyway, the first meeting of KKK was hilarious.

According to me, this movie is neither avoidable nor a must-watch. Shared from Google Keep

Krishnam vande jagadgurum

One thing which pulled all of us to balapur theater to watch this movie is " Directed by Krish "

Seems krish is experimenting with the stories. Gamyam has one main story, there are four stories in vedam.

But krisnam vande , is the conglomeration of social, love n revenge kind of story. The movie resembles old chiranjeevi movies, where hero comes to save the village from villain and then realizes that he has to take personal revenge on the villain. Krishnam vande also has similar story, sans one extra heroin.

Anyway, its an average movie, as I didnt feel the urge to walk out of theater. And it's fun to watch a helicopter-using-villain, who throws a party at his mansion after a long time.

Songs were randomly placed. The comedy of brahmanandam  seems to be funny, but comedy of posani sure does.

Care should be taken while making a movie on social issues, the affords to make it a commercial movie were seen in stone aspects.

The intelligence of director is clearly visible as expression -less face of rana is covered in drama company make up.

Director should have used subtitles when the dialogues are in kannada. Anyway , krish didnt do the film with whole heart, his magic was missing.

Anyway, I really hope this movie would give lift to surabhi naataka company.

Midnight in Paris

The movie targeted the audience with literary interest. But the message is for the people who believes that life is more elegant in the past.

The protagonist is a Hollywood actor, who wants to give a shot at writing novels. When he was lost and searching for the hotel, a guy invited him to join a party and offered lift in his vintage care. In that car hero travels to the time and place which he thinks great i.e Paris in 1920's. From that day he travels to the past every midnight in that vintage car and hangs out with his literary idols and kind of fell in love with girl friend if Pablo Picasso.

The girl is just like him who happens to think that life 1890's is more elegant than in 1920's. When they both travel through the time in a horse cart, protagonist observes that artists of that era are admiring their predecessors in literature and arts. Hero understands that the artists of every generation think past is more glorious and more classier  than theirs. He explains that to ex of Picasso but she choose to stay in the time what she believes to be filled with elegance.

The story ends after our hero cancelled his engagement and started dating a girl from "nostalgia shop".

I never shared the beliefs of hero regarding past except for cigars. What caught my attention is the relation between him and his fiance. She is more of a woman who likes to be on  top of the world, and she always seem to try to fit him in her version of boy friend,  instead of accepting him as he is. When he didnt bend, she started sleeping with her crush from college and wish that hero learns from him. She could not understand the simple pleasures of hero like walking in the rain and thought that he is little weird. The more she treats him with disparagement  the more i hated her. Director has done a great job in showing such a character.

The dialogue of Hemingway character explaining fear of death as outcome of lack of love has lifted me up and then dropped me in the well of thoughts. I am sure, much contemplation is needed in that area.

The movie is good, gives us something to think about and reminded me to resume the book of Hemingway which i started long back.

Prometheus

Just wanted to watch a movie with my college buddies and we believed in two guys to bring tickets for a movie. Well, thats the mistake we did. They bought tickets for prometheus. As usual i started complaining about alien movies but my friends are used to it and dragged me into the theater anyway.

The concept was good and interesting. Alien movie means we all think that a bunch of ugly looking aliens invade earth and then will smith or Arnold will save it. But in this movie, humans go to aliens believing that they have engineered human race, based on rock pictures which were found in every prehistoric civilization. Those pictures seem to indicate the answers humans are looking for. From where we come? Where will we go after death ? And whats our purpose on earth ?

One old man, who is like me but filthy rich , wanted to escape death , sponsored the  mission to the other planet (Not in solar system) from where they believe the engineers of human race resided. They went with an anthropomorphic robot. They found  ships in that planet which are aimed to reach earth to and destroy it. In the mean while, one alien who was
