Movie Maniac
Movies I saw this weekend on TV/DVD (for the first time).
If what they say about imitation being the sincerest form of flattery is true, Amitabh should be most flattered.
Shahrukh is not going to win any accolades for his acting if he’s compared to Big B. (maybe they will come up with a movie “Main Amitabh Bacchan Banna Chahata Hoon”)
The story, though adapted nicely to fit in today’s context, has its flaws.
Boring titles – they should have spent more on CGI.
And too many “influences” from Hollywood movies to count!
Has a couple of nice dialogues though – I had to see it twice and pay attention – w.r.t. the twist in the end.
B grade movie, nothing exceptional.
Something between a comedy and a farce, this one has a nice ending. That’s what I like about most of the Hollywood movies – they know how to start and end a movie.
Typical apocalypse movie, though attention to details for a “what if” scenario is pretty detailed. Téa Leoni’s acting is pretty dull – especially as a TV anchor.
A Sydney Pollack film. Not a standard fare, so don’t think it will find many takers.
Typical B grade semi romantic “lead role on the brink of destruction finds aim and/or purpose of existence”.
Dakota Fanning is the one to watch…she’s going to be the to next sensation, me thinks.
