Ender's Game Mini-View


I am not a gamer. I have dabbled in Super Mario, fiddled with Candy Crush and hooked on Tetris Blitz but by no means, am I a bonefied gamer. Neither do I do Sci- Fi that much.But this film is something even I, a total newbie to both enjoyed. So here is the mini-view.
 
Asa Butterfield as Andrew Ender Wiggin was unrecognisable from his last film Hugo. A complete tranformation but the best aspect was he was still a child, albiet a smarter one. In fact the whole cast of children made their individual impacts pretty well since I remember them but it is "Ender's Game". Harrison Ford is back with the same grumpy face that he is face for. Ben Kingsley switches from inspirational to hot head at various points but fumbles with the Maori accent. However, at the end of the day, they did what they needed to do. The amazing component wasn't the VFX, or the acting or the background score. For me, it was a message that was instilled into a story in 1984 that as a movie in 2013, is still relevant. Interpretation is a to each his own concept but it is there and it still has relative value today when technology has advanced beyond imaginations of that era.

All In All Azhagu Raja Mini-view

Karthi couldve been amazingly funny but was too cute anyway. He looked best in his Prabhu getup, that personally I thought was spot on. The Prabhu and Saranya combo was a yippee moment badly downplayed and not exploited enough. The minimum timeframe but maximum enjoyed Radhika Apte was adorably 80s. Kajal's acting was as annoying as her character. Santhanam needs a creative holiday. Too loud and repetitive. Kota Srinivasa Rao.. :O. #EKSI. Thaman should kiss the advisor for his innovative facet and Rajesh needs to fire his stale one. All in all, #AllinAllAzhaguRaja was all mediocre, with little azhagu.
 
P.S. Kajal, please fire your stylist or else hire your sisters. Glamour is fine but you look awkward with ill-fit clothing and bad bad BAD make-up!

99 Word Rant: Censor Cut?

I don't know about the process of film-making nor politics surrounding it. I am a movie lover. For the love of it, others make life changing decisions. Me, I buy a ticket. My money, my choice. If I don't like it, I voice it. As my opinion. But who are you to say what I'll feel watching a film? The concept of censorship is to advise of the content's category and watch with discretion. Yet sectors take classification given by the Governing body and make a Kheema out of it. How? Why? But then again, you created U/A.

99 Word Rant: Partners In Crime

You make a choice, take a chance and feel its worth something and for what? A big fat kick in the pants! Gone are the days of "til death do us part". Don't tell me its just girls. Stories of broken relationships, friends or more, has both sides involved. The concept of being emotionally attached is becoming extinct. Worse yet, the egocentric social-network generation is open to it like no other. Call me old fashioned, but at least I have a belief of finding a soul mate, a life long friend and a true connection. What do you have?

There is always a song that no matter how much you try, you can never quite get the words right. The ultimate issue is when you want to forget the song.You cant even sing it properly to get over it! So instead of forgetting it, it becomes a song that gets you humming and dancing along even more and for longer. Till the movie releases anyway.

So I have found my latest craze.. and most likely other's too..WITH LYRICS!!! Enjoy!!
