Latest MovieThor - Latest Review

A Latest movie "THOR" is breaking all box office records.Thor is a solid piece of entertainment.A grown man dresses as a bat and his a chit chat inside a bank vault where a major heist has just gone down. Goofy. A grown man wears blue tights under his business suit on a daily basis along with a red cape he hides in his undies. Goofy. Yet, Batman looks menacing when crouched in Gotham's shadows. Superman is imposing when he's speeding through the air. Setting is everything and it's no different with Thor, which is why I'm sure our introduction to a fully decked out Thor comes with him alongside his fellow Asgardian warriors where he looks just as he should as he battles the Frost Giants of Jotunheim. However, when in that same attire, strolling the streets of Pente Antiguo, New Mexico, you have a fashion faux pas. This faux pas gets to the heart of Thor, a film that never takes itself too seriously and does its very best to acknowledge its silliness so the audience may be able to look past it and enjoy the spectacle on screen.
Thor is an intergalactic story reaching realms outside our galaxy. Thor's (Chris Hemsworth) presence on Earth comes as he is banished from Asgard by his father, Odin (Anthony Hopkins), after Thor has reignited a war with the previously mentioned Frost Giants. His banishment serves as an opportunity for his brother, Loki (Tom Hiddleston), to move in on the throne.
Cast to Earth, Thor runs into a trio of scientists, which is when he meets Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), a bit of a shut-in, nerdy girl that takes to him immediately as he wreaks havoc around town in search of his hammer. Like I said, it's goofy and easy to mock, but will you roll with it or laugh at it?
The screenplay, which was a joint effort between Don Payne (Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer) and "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" scribes Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz, does its very best to keep things light with comedic moments and witty repartee. In this respect Thor falls right in line with Marvel's Iron Man films, where the goal is to serve up an action-based spectacle with an eye for entertainment as opposed to serious drama. The problem here is that it also repeats Iron Man's missteps as it can only seem to deliver half of a good film before shutting down and transitioning into its big finale, not to forget its insistence on building a massive franchise rather than solely creating a standalone Thor feature. This last aspect is just as annoying here as it was in Iron Man 2.
Where Thor did impress me was in the actors' ability to elevate the screenplay so it didn't seem as cheesy as it otherwise would have. As Odin, Anthony Hopkins actually gives one of the better performances I've seen from the declining actor in some time. He was believable and even though the words he was reading were ridiculous, they seemed to roll off his tongue rather than stagnate in that same delivery he's offered for years in such creepy old man roles, such as in The Rite and The Wolfman.
Chris Hemsworth was a charismatic choice for Thor as he managed to nail the character's arrogance and remain likable. The relationship, though, between him and Jane Foster is terribly rushed and late in the film she comes off as something of a star-struck, drunken tart ready for whatever this hulk of a god in front of her is willing to offer. Through no fault of Portman's, Foster is actually the film's weakest character, but this goes back to the fact the Earth portion of the story is the film's major weakness. Foster exists only to create a tie between Thor and the Earth realm, giving him reason to come back.
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and it resulted in an absolute abomination. Here, his attraction to Thor was said to be the family story between Thor, his brother Loki and their father Odin. It works. It's the best part of the film, and I didn't mention it before but I thought Hiddleston as Loki was another good bit of casting as was Idris Elba as the Asgardian gatekeeper, Heimdall. But this is just as I said, Branagh keeps things together while the story remains in Asgard, but when it moves to Earth it's a bit of a waste.
The effects are solid, but I was less impressed with the sound and music. Patrick Doyle's score is lackluster and the sound design is frequently clunky and obtuse. As for the 3D, it's virtually non-existent as I am growing increasingly convinced this era of post-conversion 3D is just an excuse for the company that makes those cheap plastic 3D glasses to make a profit. All they're really good for is making sure the picture isn't so bright and blurry. Thanks!
Overall, Thor is a solid piece of entertainment and, more-or-less, required viewing if you want to remain in the know once The Avengers arrives in 2012. It's a fun film and considering we're talking about a Norse God from the stars that beats people up with a hammer while wearing a giant cape, I think Branagh and company managed to pull off a minor miracle considering neither I nor anyone in my audience was laughing uncontrollably at the ridiculous nature of it all.
So enjoy the Movie Thor

Lates Movie Review - 7 Khoon Maaf

7 Khoon Maaf is latest movie, look below review before to watch movie.
Chalk up an absolute winner for the Vishal Bhardwaj-Priyanka Chopra team. They make a coherent vision out of an inconceivable marital crises.
How do you make sense of a woman who’s an incorrigible potentially-loathsome serial spouse-killer who when challenged about her weird passion for changing husbands by divine decree rather than the law of the land, turns around and says, “This heart of mine, it’s to blame.” Wicked laughter follows. And dammit, we are amused!
How does one make head or ‘tale’ of such a woman? Well, the first thing a director with a canny sense and sensibility does is sign Priyanka Chopra to play the wretchedly unfulfilled, genetically incomplete woman, a living, throbbing warning against the institution of marriage!
Priyanka, not for the first time, proves she is leagues ahead of all competition. She approaches this strange and sensual creature of the night from the outside and then quietly makes inroads into the woman’s heart and soul. We can actually see the character’s snarled inner-world on Priyanka’s face! We don’t even know when and how she does it. Priyanka is that kind of a player.
Vishal Bharadwaj has earlier made films about gangs and gangsterism. Every time the dark brooding atmospheric surface seemed to suggest a life of sinister suppressions. Those unspoken, intangible thoughts and visions that often guide a human being to his or her doom are outlined in “7 Khoon Maaf” with supreme poetic elegance.
This is Bhardwaj’s most fluidly-narrated film to date. Of course, having Gulzar on board helps. He pens Urdu poetry for Irrfan Khan and rock poetry for John Abraham. For Priyanka poetry is not needed. She creates a kind of indecipherable poetic statement for her deeply dysfunctional character who kills 6 husbands and moves to the 7th at the end of the film with the profound satirical grief of a woman who has discovered that this world has no true love to offer her.
True love…ah! Now that’s an idea. At heart Vishal’s dark elegiac film is about the search for true love. The relationship that Sussanna (Priyanka) forms with a young boy(Vivaan Shah) as she goes from one husband to another remains at the core of the film. In a macabre subversion of the almost-pure love that Susanna shares with Vivaan’s character, at one point in the narration she tries to seduce the boy who’s almost like a son. It’s a dark ugly moment, almost repugnant in its incestuous resonances but in keeping with the character’s insatiable appetite for destruction.
Vishal Bhardwaj brings to the storyboard a deep sense of tragic grandeur even as Susanna slips from self-gratification to delusional spirituality.
Priyanka Chopra has already proved herself way ahead of her contemporaries in her earlier works notably “Fashion” and “What’s Your Raashee”. In “7 Khoon Maaf” she moves to another level, displaying a range of emotions and age-changes (minus prosthetics) that one last saw in Shabana Azmi’s performances.
Priyanka’s sequences with Irrfan Khan (playing a gentle poet who transforms into a sexual pervert in bed) are stuff poetic nightmares are made of. We can clearly see the cinematographer (Ranjan Palit) is not in love with the actress, but the character. His camera searches for intransigent images in Susanna’s life, even as Priyanka’s quest for the character’s core takes her into areas of self-expression that are far beyond the reach of cinema acting as we know it.
A. Sreekar Prasad edits the life of Susanna with a surety that, alas,the character never comes close to achieving in her dealings with the opposite sex. Sreekar creates a symphonic seamless movement from one husband to another, sometimes joining segments in Susanna’s life with visuals that would otherwise seem incompatible.
The husbands are all played by actors who have no qualms in stripping away their vanity to become the kind of suave but duplicitous untrustworthy spouses who cheat and betray for the sake of the opposite emotion to love. Irrfan Khan as a wolf in poet’s clothing, Naseeruddin Shah as the affable old Bengali dietician (his Bengali accent is more dead-on than any true-blue Bengalis) and John Abraham as a stereotypical rock musician gone to poppy-seed, are pitch-perfect in their creating a drama of the callous for Priyanka’s character.
But it’s Neil Nitin Mukesh as her first legless army-man husband whose display of clenched menace jolts you.
As a storyteller Vishal Bhardwaj has never been more in command of his language. He punctuates Susanna’s story with bouts of unexpected humour and poetry. Providentially the murders are committed in ways that appear more humorous than savage. And that’s both a good and a bad thing.
The narrative shows a rare understanding of the gender dynamics and the sexual tensions between men and women. Priyanka Chopra’s interaction with the unctuous and closet-horny police officer Anu Kapoor delectably illustrates the fable of the Temptress & The Besotted. And by the way Viagara never seemed funnier.
Priyanka Chopra goes from husband-to-husband with a mocking sigh of resigned surrender. She is not a victim. But neither is she the hero of the bizarre web of destruction and delusion that her character weaves around her.
Film: “7 Khoon Maaf”
Starring: Priyanka Chopra,Naseeruddin Shah, Irrfan Khan,Anu Kapoor,Alexandr Dyachenko,John Abraham,Neil Nitin Mukesh, Vivaan Shah
Rating: 4star
Director: Vishal Bhardwaj

Latest Movie Riview - Rango

Shortly after I saw Rango, I read that Gore Verbinski directed the film in the hopes of doing something "small" after having directed the first Pirates of the Caribbean films nearly back to back. There is nothing small about Rango, save for maybe the title chameleon himself. It's full of grand ideas and larger-than-life characters, and it all folds up nicely in one big love letter to the western genre. Come to think of it, Rango isn't small, either. While he might be lacking in stature, he's the biggest thing to come to Dirt in the town's history.

Rango tells the story of a nameless Chameleon with a love for showmanship. He stages plays in his little tank, the cast full of his friends - a headless doll, a wind-up fish, a dead cricket, among others. Then his cozy little world is literally shattered (in a visually stunning scene) and he winds up in the Nevada desert, soaking in the harsh sun and wandering aimlessly. This crash course in the dangerous life of a desert animal doesn't last long, as he soon winds up in the small town of Dirt, where he makes a name for himself as the heroic Rango. But while his persona may be fake, the dangers of Dirt are very real, and he's soon forced to live up to the legend he's constructed.Rango might be the first CGI family-friendly western. You've got bandits, posses, six shooters - the works. And when I said it was a love letter to the western genre, I meant it in multiple ways. Not only does it contain all of the elements that make the genre what it is, but it's also riddled with numerous references to various cinematic masterpieces. The most blatant reference is also the best, and while I won't reveal it here, I will say that there was hootin' and hollerin' in the theater.Another area in which Rango isn't a small film is its amount of heart. It's bursting with lovable characters, and when you love the characters, you fear for them, and so all of Dirt's problems become your own. Cartoon lizard or not, you'll root for Rango just as hard as you'd root for any live-action character.
Rango's visual style is something unique, a blend of realistic and cartoon elements that work together seamlessly. Certain animals strongly resemble their real-life counterparts while others look like unidentifiable balls of fur. And yet it works splendidly, bringing the familiar charm of animated movies while at the same time maintaining a very surreal quality.

I hesitate to use this term, because you hear it every time an animated film is released, but Rango really is a film for all ages. And I don't simply mean that adults will be entertained as well as children. Children will definitely have a blast but adults will get more out of it. They'll appreciate the depth to the characters, the western homages, and the truly funny bits that are a little too sophisticated for the kids.
 

The Green Hornet

Green Hornet is an oddity of a film. It's most definitely a superhero tale, being an adaptation of the titular masked vigilante character created by George Trendle and Fran Striker back in the 1930s. And yet it's written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the duo behind Superbad and the stoner comedy Pineapple Express, quite possibly the last people you would think of when trying to revive a near-century old superhero. And yet here's Green Hornet, a mixture of two ways of life that by all means shouldn't work, but somehow finds a way.
In addition to co-writing the screenplay, Seth Rogen himself fills the shoes of the lead crimefighter and his true identity, Britt Reid. This is very much Rogen's Green Hornet; the man doesn't have a hell of a lot of range. That isn't to say he's a bad actor. His chops are of the comedy variety, but he can pull off the dramatic when it's required of him. Reid is a good deal more obnoxious and angry than Rogen's usual charming goofballs, and while this makes him a little hard to like at first, it eventually becomes clear that his anger comes from a place of self-loathing and wasted potential, something a lot of us can identify with. Still, he remains Seth Rogen, even when he goes by the name of Britt Reid.
Christoph Waltz, the Austrian/German actor who rose to American fame with his portrayal of Colonel Hans "Jew Hunter" Landa in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, plays Russian mobster Benjamin Chudnofsky, the film's primary antagonist. I've only seen Landa in Basterds, but he was by far the greatest part of that great film, so I expected the same here. While I wasn't let down, I did feel that he could've done more. It was undeniablely fun watching him struggle with his inability to terrify people, but given the film's lighthearted tone, he really could have gone much more over-the-top than he was and the results could've been something special. As it is, he's passable, and Waltz is better than that.
The real star here, appropriately enough, is Jay Chou as Kato, The Green Hornet's sidekick. In the 1960s television series, Bruce Lee's Kato greatly overshadowed Van Williams's Green Hornet, so much so that the show was renamed The Kato Show in Hong Kong. It's unlikely that Rogen and Goldberg intended for Chou to surpass everyone like he does, but it works out for the best, with Chou turning in the greatest performance in the film, despite his English skills being less than great.
I feel ashamed to write this, but I've only seen one other Michel Gondry film, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I can't comment on whether or not he's operating to his usual standard, but I can say that Gondry knows when to keep it simple and when to take risks. Aside from a few dazzling fight scenes, there was nothing exceptionally fantastic about the directing, but he did nothing wrong, either. A competent job, and that isn't meant as a backhanded compliment.
Where The Green Hornet fails is uneven pacing that results in the middle dragging on far too long, unable to keep up the rapid-fire delivery of the first and third acts. I wouldn't go as far as to say it gets boring, but at its worst it's far from compelling cinema, especially given the ho-hum jobs done by Rogen and Waltz. However, the charisma of Jay Chou and the smart humor scattered throughout make it a fun, albeit bumpy, ride.
