This movie is set in Britain during 60's about a pirate radio station broadcasting from offshore.
This pirate station called 'Radio Rock' began broadcasting pop and Rock-n-roll music twenty-four hours a day from a boat anchored off the coast of England. The station is hosted by a band of DJs, it soon gains an audience of millions. on the other hand it invites anger of the UK government . so in process A minister tries few tactics to shut down this radio station but doesn't succeed that much.
The movie also involves little tracks of different DJs and how they entertain people. The movie has got some really great music on air time, excellent performances from Philip Seymour Hoffman,Rhys Ifans,Nick Frost and Kenneth Branagh.
A movie with lots of rock-N-roll and pop music of 60's and good story to tell. it entertains thoroughly.
Starring: Sam Worthington as PERSEUS
Liam Neeson as ZEUS
Ralph Fiennes as HADES
Danny Huston as POSEIDON
From the title the movie it sounds quite heavy but movie doesn’t reach to all the expectations like its title suggests.
Movie is set around Greece city called Agros where humans are about to go on battle against THE GOD (ZEUS-king of gods). Humans started believing that the gods are doing injustice to them and for that they started to go against them. on the other hand brother of Zeus , Hades-the god of dark underworld convinces his brother Zeus to go for a vengeance against humanity by destroying the Agros city.
Meanwhile PERSEUS the son of Zeus, and raised by a fisher-man loses his family because of attack by Hades. So he decides to take revenge against Hades. He joins the soldiers of Agros and starts his journey to find the way to defeat Hades and his dangerous creatures. during this journey he fights against so many beasts and creatures from underworld. And at the end saves humanity and Zeus from Hades.
The movie has splendid visuals. The creatures they created were quite interesting. If they could have given more screen time to last creature it would have been a good fight sequence like they show with Scorpios. Apart from this movie goes really flat. Movie has some good fight sequences. Movie falls because it does not have that feeling like 300 or the pirates or Gladiator had.
But its one time watch and those who love stunning effects would like it.

I get to watch to watch this movie today, and what to say except one word EXCELLENT.
I am big admirer of Quentin Tarantino’s way of movie making. He has got great hold on story telling.
The film is divided into 5 chapters 1. Once Upon a TimeIn Nazi Occupied France 1. 2. Inglourious Basterds. 3. German Nights in Paris. 4. Operation Kino. 5. Revenge of the Giant Face
The movie is set during the time of second world-war.In Nazi occupied France, young Jewish refugee Shosanna witnesses the slaughter of her family by Colonel Hans Landa(Christoph Waltz). Narrowly escaping with her life, she plots her revenge several years later when German war hero Fredrick Zoller takes interest in her and arranges a movie premiere at the theater she runs.
On the other hand bunches of American-Jewish soldier are sent to German occupied France to kill the enemies led by the ruthless Lt. Aldo Raine(Brad Pitt). Soon they become famous because of their style of killing and are named ‘BASTERDS’ among Germans.
Now this movie premier got ‘BASTERD’S’ attention as the premier was suppose to attend by top rank officers of Nazi’s along with Hitler. They make a plan to kill all those to end the war. This was the time where the shosanna and the basterd’s plans meets.
This is the plot with lots of twist and turns.
I like the way Tarantino took the story from chapter to chapter. His hold on each character and their characterization. He holds the screenplay from start to end very well.
The entire movie was shot in classic war movie style. There are four languages used in the movie so we see most of the movie screen time with subtitles.
For performance Christopher Walts deserves applause( 10 out of 10). In The very first chapter you will get to know how powerful this character is, just superb. Brad Pitt is also top notch in the character of leader of The Basterds. All the other actors played their part very well.
I would say this is for those who likes war movies and for those who love Tarantino’s movies. Simply superb.
Rating : 8 out of 10
(THOSE WHO HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS MOVIE,HERE IS A PREVIEW OF IT)
This week we have KCK directed by Vijay Lalwani. I would say that slowly Indian directors are daring to touch THRILLER stories. And this one is worth a viewer’s money.
This is a story of Karthik, who I would say is a looser. Nothing is exciting in his life, no friends; even most of the people of his office don’t know him. Whose boss always scolds him. A poor fellow. Somehow on his birthday he gets a call. It was he, himself who called. Here starts exciting journey of Mr.Karthik. What happens next is the thing you need to watch.
Story is really gripping. Last time a good thriller hindi movie I saw was, Johney Gaddar and now this one. Story line does not go off the track for a single time. It successfully holds viewer. The music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy is also good.
As far as performances are concern Mr.Akhtar deserves applause for portraying Karthik very effectively. The body language needed for this character was perfect. Miss.padukone has done good job as Karthik’s love interest. Ram kapoor was also good as a rude boss.
But the movie only belongs to Mr.Akhtar and the Director. As a first time director he has treated the story very well.
A worth watching this weekend. (I may be over rating but I just love Good Thrillers.)
The most awaited and marketed and controversial movie has arrived. As there is lots of stuff talked about this movie so I would simply present my view on this movie.
It true that i have never seen SHAH RUKH KHAN this way, probably by far the strogest character portrayed by him is RIZWAN KHAN of this movie.His facial expressions, body language was perfect for this character. He has put his all blood and sweat for his role.he was convincing in a character of a person with some mental disease.KAJOL was good as usual. the more importantly the pair has still the charm alive on screen.
story-line is good and convincing for all kind of audience. music of Shankar-Ehsaan-loy is mesmerizing.KARAN JOHAR has tried something different this time and has succeeded.his old style can be also seen in some sequences but that doesn't harm to movie.
overall a very good movie with some very STRONG MESSAGES and some great performances by lead pair.A delight to watch for all.
Movie featuring some of the best actors like DelToro and Hopkins would have to be something different but here for The Wolfman its nothing new who have seen movies on ‘werewolves’ apart from visuals and sound effects.
This is the story of a men who was called back by his brother’s wife when his brother gets disappear. So he(DelToro) goes back to his town to find his brother but when he reaches he found that his brother is already dead. When inquired, he found that his brother was killed by some kind of monster, a monster who appears under full moon. His father (Hopkins) suggests him to go back to London but he denies and tries to find out the truth.
On his way to find the truth he got bitten by the monster (Werewolf) and he got cursed by werewolf. He finds that he has also become werewolf after bitten by werewolf. This way things goes and at the end he kills the werewolf because of whom he got that curse.
While watching the movie I don’t find the wolfman itself creepy or scary nor there was much bloodbath like other movies on werewolf. DelToro tries very hard to portray the wolfman but I don’t find him up to the mark. Anthony Hopkins was Good as usual.
The director has not created the The Wolfman much scary apart from a few sequences which were good enough to scare the audience. The story itself does not have strong hold.
So apart from a sincere attempt by DelToro and good performance by Hokins movie turns out to be average.
folks, the greatest detective world has ever known - sherlock holmes, a character that has scaled our imaginations all these years comes to the screen now. the expectations are high. and the movie deals with them thoroughly. i wont say its the best effort for the holmes character but it doesnt let it down either. robert downey has played the character pretty well. jude law is in his usual flamboyance too. dark treatment imparted by guy ritchie to this movie in order to boost the voodoo element as well as the old england era is appreciable. on top of that, the musical score is by hans zimmer - the person responsible for outstanding pieces in gladiator, pirates of the carribbean, black hawk down. i think, the main area where the movie scores is its pace. there is not a single lull spell providing the audience a lot to think over and imagine.
whether it be the fast camera movement of the chases or the slow motion during fights and explosions, its sits pretty comfortably on the viewer's eye.
the movie will have a sequel as the story is left wide open. this being a nice piece of art, my hopes are much higher for sherlock holmes - 2.
