Clash of the Titans and some crap!

Watched Clash of the Titans - a Swords and Sandals epic which lies somewhere between Troy and 300. Kraken was the piece of cake and so were the mythical creatures.

Revelation: All Greek Gods are womanizers and the seemingly good Gods are in fact the bad guys. Zeus was on a globe-trotting one-night stand spree, impregnating women on earth and tricked Hades to the depths of the underworld. Remember, Hades is always portrayed as the bad guy in Greek epics as he tries to take revenge on his brother Zeus who cheated him by denying him his seat at Mount Olympus a.k.a Heaven! How idiotic is that! Isn't Hades doing what all of us with some self-respect left in us would do when backstabbed? He is trying to get back what is rightfully his. Now how is that evil?

The story on Medusa's origin was indeed sympathetic and another example on how wayward the Greek Gods are. Poseidon, the God of the Seas, brutally raped Medusa when she was a beautiful young woman and he gave way to his urge right inside the Temple of Athena. Medusa pleaded to the Goddess to save her and Athena didn't bother at all. Instead, she turned the hapless woman into a Gorgon and that too once Poseidon was done with his hunger. How considerate! Athena's explanation for her "blessing" - she regarded it as the finest way to save Medusa from men! Medusa went on to be known by the monstrous form from then.

Now tell me - Who are the good guys and who are the bad guys?

Breaking into Inception

Watched Inception and I would choose not to say anything about the movie except that:
1. Nolan, the cast and the crew have put in a lot of effort to conceive and film a movie of this magnitude, complexity and broad canvas.
2. Inception will take sometime and repeated viewings to grow on you if your intellectual capacity is equal to that of an average moviegoer like me. You''l realize that it's a path-breaking, visionary movie which will find its place in the Best Movies Ever List. But you'll find it difficult to explain why you think so. 

I'm in that state now. :)

Airbender is a mindbender which will be a spinebender for its producers

Despite its astonishing concept/production designing and overwhelming visual effects, The Last Airbender comes across as one of the worst fantasy movies I have ever seen. It wasn't fun, it didn't have a single character to vouch for and the bad acting buckled with ridiculous dialogues make it the worst efforts from M.Night Shyamalan...next only to Lady in the Water.

An industry counting on Inception

Inception releases to the highest possible critical acclaim (Imdb rating 9.5/10) today. A whopping $200 million to make this movie and an additional $100 million to market it, Inception is hyper-expensive just like its summer counterparts. The question is, will it give the box-office that much-needed blockbuster hit and will it beat The Dark Knight? 

"I love it when a plan comes together." - Hannibal is so right!

Watching THE A-TEAM. So far it has been AWESOME!!! Action on Hyperdrive!!!

"Passengers, this is your captain speaking. If you could look out through the right window of the aircraft you'll see that the right wing is on fire" - Murdoch (The A-Team)

I'm loving this movie!!!

Was wondering where I have seen the actor who plays Murdoch and checked it up on wiki. It's in fact the lead actor from Oscar-nominated DISTRICT 9.

Funny, action-packed to the brim, with the feel which is undeniably that of the TV series on which it is based. Smart where it has to be, campy all the way, unapologetic for all of the above and add a bunch of lunatic amusingly OTT characters portrayed by Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper and Co. You get the kaboom of an action movie called The A-Team - I would love to see a sequel to this movie.
