Movie of the month - Archives - November - 2012

Another disaster movie from the director who made a career out of making disaster flicks. Roland Emmerich returns to repeat the success of Independence Day and Day After Tomorrow with 2012 - a visual effects filled apocalypse movie based on the theoretical end of the world expected to take place in year 2012.

Forget the fact that John Cusack is the lead actor. Who pays attention to the hero of an Emmerich movie? Even if you intend to, you may not get the time to take your eyes off all that breath taking CGI. The budget is in the $200 million range.

Movie of the month - Archives - October - Blue

What if Michael Bay made a Bollywood Movie? It'll look a lot like Blue. All of Rs.80 crores as budget to splurge on bike chases, underwater action sequences, explosions, shoot outs, classy production values, breath-taking locations, hot stars, stunts, effects, camera crew and writers brought down from Hollywood and racy trailers which promise a full blown slick actioner. Scored by A.R Rahman and sound designed by Resul Pookutty, Blue also features Kylie Minogue's performance. The promotional budget of Rs. 20 crore is enough to produce a multi-starrer in Bollywood. I'm betting my Diwali on Blue.
