FAM Movie review : The Last Stand ( 2013 )
Director : Ji-yong Kim
Our rating : 8/10
After all he is back with a bang , the great Mr.Olympia. Yes , he is Old , lost his muscle and yes he is no more fast but still he has his style and wow it was just fun watching this big guy Arnold Schwarzenegger ( as Ray Owens ) on the screen . As a Sheriff of a less populated Town and once a aggressive officer but now a calm peace loving guy arnold comes in as a very normal silent guy . But fate brings him in path of a most notorious kingpin escape convict , a death row inmate who is on run from FBI and that he happen to cross Ray's town inorder to escape to mexico . The problem is none able to stop Eduardo Noriega ( as Gabriel Cortez ) from escaping , he choose to drive off road on his specially designed car crossing 200kmph and with his counterparts who is helping him by clearing out any obstacle enroute even if necessary to kill anyone who is blocking his path. So with no help from FBI or Swat team and with very little time Ray has to stop gabriel from escaping to mexico , its just how he manages to stop gabriel with his little police force joined by Mike , Sam . sarah and lewis and how he makes his Last Stand to retrict the convit from escaping is all the story is about. Especially when arnold says , i wont let this guy go through my town without a fight will give you the goosebumps you need.
It was just awesome to see Arnold back again with the Big guns and on the wheels chasing down the convict .Luis Guzman as Mike was just fun watching him , he keeps us entertaining with his own style and you will not stop laughing every-time you see him on the screen. The Escape Convict Gabriel and his friend Peter Stormare ( Burrell ) were just excellent and add up beautifully to the movie. Screenplay was awesome and no where you would feel the slowness in the movie and camerawork was wonderful too with those car chase and escape scene was beautifully made , especially when gabriel take on the Swat team vehicle was damn good. The Last fight of Arnold with Gabriel on a bridge was superb and cant expect a perfect finish to such a wonderful movie and his dialogue at the end " My Honesty is not for sale " its jut wooooow . Sure Ji-yong Kim deserves a applause of making a very good Action packed entertainer and sure he has given his best
FAM Punch Line : Any action Movie lovers and Arnold Fans , dare not miss this movie. You will be stunned.
FAM Movie Review : Lawless ( 2012 )
Genre : Crime | Action | Drama
Director : John Hillcoat
Cast : Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf, Guy Pearce
Our Rating : 8 / 10
Lawless (2012) is a Kick-ass Film based on a true story, adapted from Matthew Bondurant’s historical novel The Wettest County in the World , A Perfect Western Style Typical Brotherhood Gangster based movie with many scenes giving Goosebumps throughout..!! Tom Hardy Performance as Forrest Bondurant was just mind blowing and the way he takes him through the movie as a serious out-looker with a tough side..wow . Just as amazing and just what anyone would like to watch in this type of a movie. There is no dragging and lack of phase. The Screenplay Just movies on . Along with it the other two brothers Shia as Jack Bondurants and Jason Clarke as Howard Bondurant were just perfectly added to the power quotient of the movie. And not forget to mention the other important character in the movie by Guy Pearce as Special Agent Charlie Rakes . Without a perfect villan , no movie is 100% complete and this is were Guy pearce fills the gap. Awesome acting by him and he takes his lead against the tough brothers in his own way. For sure he did his part perfectly well.
Some of the quotes in the movie were just damn powerful then the movie itself . few like
Forrest Bondurant: It is not the violence that sets men apart, alright, it is the distance that he is prepared to go.
Forrest Bondurant: I'm a Bondurant. We don't lay down for nobody.
Forrest Bondurant: We're survivors, we control the fear. And without the fear, we're all as good as dead!
FAM Punch Line : Yes except a normal ending , the whole movie was just awesome and sure worth a try. Dont Miss it. Its a Definite Treat for Tom Hardy Fans
Kanna Laddu thinga Asaya ( 2012 )
" Pongalo Pongal PowerStar Pongal "
Its for sure one of excellent Comedy Blast for this Pongal. From Start to end this movie was excellent and you will laugh and laugh and laugh out through out the movie
Its a Updated version of famous Bagyaraj Movie " Indru Poi Nalai Vaa "
Santanam and Power Star packs a punch through out the movie with their own style.
Power Star is rocking with his usual buildup performance scene by scene , but yes that's what gives a laugh bomb.
Santanam Timing Lines and comedy tracks as-usual adding more light to the movie.
With a combo like santanam and Power star what else you could except. The Third sethu was good too and he done is part well
Visaka singh was not bad and she did her role perfectly
Worth every rupee spent for this movie. Yes dont go in with too much of story , just as said its a newer version of Old Hit Film
Am sure as a Producer Santanam would be very happy with the way movie came and sure he is in for owning another Land Rover with the Pongal Bonus prize
Songs are not bad nor too good..But yes they match perfectly with the movie and its timely and funny to watch the visual too
Powerstar seems to have got a right opportunity and he has definitely proved it and with is famous famous expressions and different style of acting..my goodness you cant help yourself laughing out your stomach and your jaws would pain a hell laughing :)
But we cant just miss mention the duo VTV Ganesh and Kovai sarala combination..chance-less and mind-blowing.
Film critics stay away because this aint a movie fit your bill. This is a entertainment movie and sure it did . We dont need your critics head here.
Overall this movie is one awesome film for Movie freaks who just want to have fun and enjoy with tears in ur eyes laughing non stop.
Worth Watching in theaters and a best choice then other craps released for pongal along with
Absolute fun. entertainment guaranteed
Its Definelty a Power Star Pongal :) Looking for more and more combo's like this...
With a little bit more expectation that karthik would have learnt a lesson after his successive flops like the recent Saguni , we went for the movie but never thought that this was one of biggest mistake and a worst decision taken in a festival season .
First want to just let you all know that this is not the great Superstar Mundru mugam Alex pandian story . It has nothing to do with it nor he is a police officer in the movie. Trailer might have fooled many and we are one among those fools
Normally when a movie is damn bad and you got struck up in theater , you might try to reason yourself somehow that you try to satisfy with at-least comedy , songs or fights or heroin romance scenes something so you wont feel bad you wasted 120 Rupees for a movie.
But this movie had no one part to say as positive. It was complete let down and am sure Karthi fans would be totally dissapointed.
First of all There is no story at all in the movie.. we tried to understand something out of it..but sure was nothing till the last. Worst of the worst.
Screenplay and editing cant be any worst then this movie. I never scene such a worst editing like this movie last few years.
Total logic miss ..One or Two mistakes ok but not the complete movie itself... wow my god..wow.. Mistakes everywhere..No logic at all
Background was worst ever and Songs damn.... Being recently released , the complete theater was almost empty.
This is one of movie with more number for villans for nothing...they try to act serious but all we get is laugh . Whole theater was laughing and commenting sarcastically even when the villans were seriously acting.
Stunts were worst tooo ..Karthik giving as-usual stills each screen with buttonless shirt , pink shirt and T Shirt wow..comedy. As usual Lots of Sumo chasing scenes , what else you expect if suman is also one of villans ..:)
Santhanam comedy was okay for some level but it was too vulgar at some places and it passes censor board too wow.. and in-between manobala inclusion was pointless and the scenes following next 15 minutes with manobala was needless at all giving complete headpain
Very predictable climax or said very boring climax. Very funny acting by pratap as if acting like a serious villan and visu as CM , all we remember is arunachalam.
Overall One of Worst movie to watch for pongal or said to watch ever. Go with Amurthanjan or Vicks action 500
Lovers or Couples wanting to enjoy a movie in theater without any disturbance in corner seat , then this movie would be the right choice.
Total 120 Rupees waste . Not even worth for 10 Rupees. Watch this movie at your own risk
No Reservation ( 2007) :-
A simple story made in a very flamboyant way . Such a nice script making it a very beautifully made feel good movie. Talks about to Life of two well known Restaurant chef on how their path cross when they had to work together in a same kitchen in a restaurant . What starts as envy'n'pride slowly develops into a long lasting relationship between them and how that love blossoms 'n' matures itself was wonderfully captured in the movie. A worth watching movie for any Romance genre movie likers. Have fun watching.
Thuppakki ( 2012 ) Tamil
Pros :-
====
** No wonder we will get any different movie from A.R Murgadoss. One hell of a action movie which every fan would want
** Illaya Thalapathi Vijay , after a long gap , he is back into action . A Very good comeback and his composure , toned down body , his dialogue delivery were all perfect
** No too much of Punch Dialogues in this movie which differentiates itself from all other movies
** A Different hairstyle can beat any. Nice one and awesome. He looks stunning every way.
** Antartica and Google Google wow Vijay rocks with his dance moves which he is known for...And his voice on Google Google best ever..
** A Different script and he first time choosed one a unique one. Initial First half till intermission was fiery . And scene before intermission will give you goosebumps.
** opening Small fight sequence was stunning and more importantly Cinematography by santhosh sivan cannot be missed to mention here. His work seen all over the move and he def did a splendid job and that includes editor Sreekar Prasad. A Very good Teamwork by both
** Kajal Agarwal is a charm in the movie..She covers the romantic part. Good , no unwanted songs in unwanted places.
** Fun track by Sathyan and Jairam very well executed and stays good wth a very good fun quotient. They took care of that part very well in the movie
** A Never seen movie of Dr.Vijay in recent times.
Cons :-
====
** Harris Jairaj number one let down. Movie depends on its BGM and is soul of any movie , but seems he couldn't justify his chance given here. Worst BGMs during Fight sequence. Tittle credit theme music is worst of its Kind. BGM alone should give us goosebumps but seems here we need to figure out and find where is the actual BGM is... Except one are two good songs..its total letdown by Him.
** When Actor vijay says he is from DIA ( Defense intelligence agency ) we might excepted more out of it to continue that phase through but things run from agency work to a personal agenda.
** A Officer in leave doing all this..hmm..Good Job
** A Opening fight and a intro song still carried upon .Seems history is never forgotten
** Hero running with the dog saving his sister at last minute wow.
** All AK47 , no bullets hit hero . We remember captain movie..
** Last Ship Fight. Funniest of all .
** First half brilliant. Second half total let down.
** Many logic miss in many places and many dramatic finishes and sequences which is way hard to believe
Overall
=======
Every movie will have its negative side . But said that in this Murgadoss brilliance , they are at ignorable proportion, Still Thuppaki Stays out one hell of a action adventure. Yes for sure this remains a very good blockbuster of the season. A.R Murgadoss definitely justified his work and Actor Vijay back on his race track.. He is brilliant and he is unique with his onscreen Performance. This is one happy deepavali for Dr.Vijay and his fans. This movie is watchable more then three times if you are a vijay fan and if you are a normal movie goer , this stays maximum twice or probably worth watchable only once. A Good Action masala entertainer . Don't miss it. Sure you are into a different kind of Movie never scene before.

FAM Movie Review : A Walk to Remember ( 2002 )
Genre : Drama | Romance
Our Rating : 9/10
Director : Adam Shankman
Cast : Shane West ( As Landon Carter ) , Mandy Moore ( As Jamie Sullivan ) , Peter Coyote ( As Reverend Sullivan Jamie Father )
A Walk to remember , is a beautiful romantic Melodrama with Just Love on it in every frame shown. The decision to watch this movie was late or way to late and definitely feel bad for missing such a genuine class movie these many days.This is about a Love Story in High school which revolves around two main characters Landon and Jamie. Landon is a energetic guy and very popular in school and Jamie is a normal girl who doesn't talk much , cute but a reserved character. She lives in her own world , doesn't mingle with all and she participates in after school community which helps the needy .Landon is a problematic rude boy in his school and he gets into many troubles for misbehaving. Realizing his trouble making character , school principal takes mandatory decision to send Landon to attend after school community services and also to participate in Inter school Drama Play . As Landon has no other option , he unwillingly attends the sessions where he comes across Jamie and he never bother to care her initially as she is ignored by everyone in School for her different character . Though Jamie tries to talk to him , Landon doesn't seem to care much and avoids her so much that Jamie distance herself from him. Everything goes fine while he starts attending the community service everyday and he was selected to play the lead role inthe Drama Play with Jamie as his Partner. Landon being popular in school wanted by many girls has a egoistic character in him and thus stopping him to realize the actual love around. Its the day of play and all parents are gathered to witness it .The play was felt so realistic and the scene was like Jamie singing a song to show her love to Landon and at end of the song , the scene is to kiss her and he does.. Till the time he was a guy who not bothered about her , felt something strange on him with the first kiss and he felt it too real and had his butterflies flying in his heart.
Listen to the Song Only Hope Here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8f8RHWMPyY
From that time , he has fallen for her and feels her as the destiny . Though she is reserved and different , he tries her and gets close to her by understanding her more. Which started with a simple kiss is now became more than a life for him and he realizes that she is the one sent to him from heaven. She also falls for him and they both mutually start to love each other so much until one fine day when she breaks a news something too big for Landon to take and that is She is a Leukemia patient 'n' counting her final days. This shatters Landon totally and he breaks completely with tears rolling in his eyes .Sure this scene would get audience a huge impact and would make you feel along with Landon and Jamie.
Watch this Youtube link for that wonderful scene : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEkKCJbpR3o
So what happens to Jamie , will she be recovered and will Landon will have her for life time is what covers the rest of story. The Story might look so common but the performance of both Landon and Jamie was stunning . Director Adam Shankman has definitely used every bit of his talent to make every scene so lively and a genuine attempt. The chemistry they both share was simply mesmerizing and Sure Jamie is such a adorable character that anyone would never want to miss. Its the Script , the dialogues of the movie takes you out with heart touching ones every few minutes. We could bet there could not be a person who can watch this movie without tears flowing out and a feeling of great satisfaction at end of the movie with just pure feeling of love..Hats off to Karen Janszen for pulling out such a beautiful script and Cinematographer Julio Macat for getting us a picture perfect movie.
Same time the other cast performance cannot be missed to watch like Reverend Sullivan jamie father and Landon Father acting was simply awesome. The scene where Landon hugs his father and cries out when he comes to know that his father helped financially to admit Jamie in a private hospital was wonderful and too touching. Sure that scene makes your heart heavy and so watch for it. Will there be any romantic movie which could reach hearts of millions without a proper OST or BGM , Yes Mervyn Warren was marvelous with his work and makes you melt with movie along. Overall this is one hell of a wonder any Movie lovers would be eager to watch and your eyes will give you the result of the movie when you complete watching it.
FAM Punch Line : A Movie made for people who love to be loved , who doesn't know their destiny or one who want to find their angel of their life. Any lovers or that said any movie freaks dare not miss it for this is one of ever best romantic movies ever watched so far. Don't wait for the time if you haven't watched it as its already late and Hurry if you cannot feel the true love around you. FAM Certified Must Watch

Some of Best quotes in the movie below
================================
“Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Loves is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It dose not take offense and is not resentful. Love take no pleasure in others people's sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.”
“I held her close to me with my eyes closed, wonering if anything in my life had ever been this perfect and knowing at the same time that it hadn't. I was in love, and the feeling was even more wonderful than I ever imagined it could be.”
“landon: im sorry she never got her miracle.
hegbert: she did get her miracle, landon.
her miracle was you.”
“Jamie: You know what I figured out today?
Landon: What?
Jamie: Maybe God has a bigger plan for me than I had for myself. Like this journey never ends. Like you were sent to me because I'm sick. To help me through all this. You're my angel.”
“Your love is like the wind...you cant see it, but you can feel it...”
