Movie Review: Sex and the City

This is a real chick flick with romance and heartburn. It's also about clothes and fashion. The story revolves around 4 independent women portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon,Kim Cattral and Kristin Davies. Jennifer Hudson makes an impact as the secretary of Sarah's character Carrie Bradshaw. The movie is funny and interesting. However it is not meant for kids.

Movie Review of "Kusselan"

Yeah, that's right. It's Kuselan and not Kuchelan. This was totally unplanned & suffice it to say that I ended up watching "Kuselan" in the theater. It's the Tamil version of Kadhaparayumbol. Meena and the kids are from the original cast. Rajni is the star and has a larger role than Mammoootty had. ( That's only expected). But I am happy that he did have a larger than life role. Rajni's entrance was definitely a defining moment as far as I was concerned, since I don't follow Tamil that well. He offered spectacle and drama. Isn't that what we want? He has his own charm. No denying that. But you may wonder about some of the happenings for instance in one of the scenes or rather songs, he kind of cuts his head off and it reminded me of Banquo from Macbeth. then the rest of the body slowly runs in a nice flowing gown. The head follows and finally joins the torso. But that's the best part. No worries. You know the movie will end well. And what did i make of that scene??? Well, I had a good laugh. Don't think too much. Laugh whenever you can. I almost forgot Nayanthara. The superstar. She brings in dollops of glamour.

Movie Review: Erin Brokovich

I don't know if I am one of the last people to watch it, but finally I did. And it's a great movie. Directed by Erin Brokovich, it's based on the true life story of Erin Brokovich a legal clerk. Julia Roberts portrays Erin and she is a really good actress as she does not overshadow the character. Albert Finney is also impressive as the head of Masry. Mind you or rather " Mind It" as Rajni would say, these are real life people. Aaron Eckhart plays Erin's biker boyfriend and portrays a rather sweet biker. The movie is how a young single mother of 3 takes on a huge corporate and comes out winner. It's a socially conscious movie which brings a smile to your face.

The movie got at least 5 Oscar nominations and a win for Julia for Best Actress

Rating: ****
