The miracle man- Rajnikanth.

      


Shonu, pappu, baby, lolo, gogo, dodo, etc… these and many such names are how our close friends or parents address us. Some of us cringe at just the thought of having a nickname (don’t worry I am not one of them) and they actually lash out at you if you call them such endearing (or just simpler) names. But nothing is impossible, especially when we are blessed with the miracle man- Rajnikanth.
 
When the entire world keeps sending messages about the oh-so-powerful Rajni, he has secured another feather in his magical cap.  Aishwarya Rai is the beneficiary of Rajnikanth’s miracles this time. Ash (oops, I hope she doesn’t read me call her this) has now been bestowed upon with a new name. Rajni has decided to call this young damsel by a different name. What might the name be… any guesses?
Ash?
Ashu?
Ashi?
Naaa…… All these names are ordinary, not up to Rajni’s standards… Rajni, as always, is hatke. He has decided to call this beauty ‘ Tamila’ considering her fluency in the language i.e. Tamil.  Now Tamila will definitely be obliged accept this name, unlike her other name ‘Ash’ given to her by the media, which she absolutely dismissed. After all, it’s a gift from the great Rajni to her.

FridayMoviez News Desk: NEWPORT BEACH FILM FESTIVAL



Opening weekend for the 12th annual Newport Beach Film Festival (U.S.A.)
showcased crowded theatres, packed parties and high-profile celebrities!

Growing in popularity among Hollywood executives and local Orange County
residents, the festival's opening night, Thursday, featured the world
premiere of "East Fifth Bliss."

The comedy drew over 1,000 audience members into Edward's Big Newport
Cinemas. Including cast mates Lucy Liu and Peter Fonda.

Thursday's opening night was followed by a gala and fashion show held in the
courtyard of Bloomingdales at Fashion Island.

Following Friday and Saturday's film screenings, post-parties were held at
the Lexus Newport Beach dealership and the Sports Club LA-Orange County. The
jam-packed festivities were attended by the likes of film directors and
stars such as Colin Hanks.

Hoping to build off last year's 50,000-plus attendance, the film festival's
weekend galas and post-parties were aimed to not only entertain, but to
develop the Newport Beach Film Festival's reputation as a competing force in
the vibrant world of international film festivals.


With 350 films from 40 countries playing at this year's festival, it did
just that.

The selection of films ranged from a zombie road trip, "DeadHeads" and a Klu
Klux Klan comedy, "White Knight", to a bevy of action sports films,
documentaries and more than one world premiere.

"We really like to find some of the best films that haven't been screened
yet or picked up by a major studio," says Gregg Schwenk, executive director
and chief executive of the festival to the Los Angeles Times.

The widely eclectic selection is one of the reasons the festival appeals to
so many and is continuing to grow in prestige and attendance. 

The festival ran through April 28th to May 5th, 2011.

Bole Toh…



“Hi, I am Rahul… Naam toh suna hoga!”
 
“Vijayyyyy, mujhe chod ke matt jayo!”
 
“Kkkk….Kirrraannnn!!!!”
 
“Kutte Kaminey, mein tera khoon pi jaunga!!!”
 
“Basanti…inn kutton ke saamne matt naachna!!!”
 
“Huhuhuhahahah… Mogambo Khush hua!”
 
These and so many other clichés or should I say milestone dialogues, have ruled Bollywood for ages. Those were the golden days of the industry, when people were less cynical, and even less critical. What was important was entertainment. Even then, there were many hits, many flops but movies meant fun, movies meant something to look forward to.
 
It has been so long since there was any interesting, memorable dialogue, act, etc… in our movies. NO more are there any characters which can later be mimicked- ‘Gabbar’s - Arre o Samba! Kitne aadmi the’ or No longer are there any dialogues which can be repeated- ‘So ja beta, warna Gabbar aa jayega!’


It is as if the industry has failed to create the same magic like the yesteryears. Some have still tried, like the Munnabhai’s mamu and circuit stint, or Kareena Kapoor’s innovative way of swearing in Golmaal…but these were just memorable for the time being, no one still talks Mamu style!
But with the latest movie Pyaar ka Punchanama, which has a 6 minute long monologue by Karthikeya Tiwari urf Rajat, things seem to be looking good for the Bollywood dialogue industry! The monologue is long and difficult to memorise yet it is one of the most memorable moments in the movie! I mean, come on, a completely entertaining 6 minute long dialogue! Who won’t remember it! Let us hope that we get more such memorable moments in the coming years so that we can look back upon with pride!

Friday Moviez News Desk: Water for Elephants!!!

    

Reel Review: Water for Elephants is a 2011 American romantic drama film
based on Sara Gruen's novel, directed byFrancis Lawrence, from a screenplay
by Richard LaGravenese.
It stars Reese Witherspoon. The film was released  on 6th May 2011 in India.

Plot : A veterinary student abandons his studies after his parents are
killed and joins a traveling circus as their vet.
This movie is more than just a love story.
What makes it more intriguing is a third character. The dynamic in the story
depends on August's (Christoph Waltz) jealousy of Marlena (Reese
Witherspoon), and her stubborn loyalty to their marriage contract. He rules
over everyone as a hard-bitten taskmaster whose easy charm conceals a cold
inner core.

Audience feedback:  Spectacular movie, just as life should be. This
masterpiece beautifully shows that life is all about daring jumping into it.
Beautiful metaphor between train and life. Life is not about illusion and
tricks, it about seeing reality in spite of illusions and tricks that
surround us. Good laughs and lots of intense moments.

This is good sound family entertainment, a safe PG-13 but not a dumb one,
and it's a refreshing interlude before we hurtle into the summer blockbuster
season.

FridayMoviez News Desk: Bin Laden & Hollywood!!!



Sunday's news that Osama bin Laden had been killed in Pakistan brought
closure to a nation still grieving the tragedy of 9/11. Deadline reports
that Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow has been preparing her follow-up
to the film set in Iraq "The Hurt Locker", entitled "Kill Bin Laden", which
could become the first feature film to depict the historical events of May
1, 2011.

Previous reports were uncertain of how the Bin Laden angle fit into
Bigelow's film, but Deadline confirms the film's focus on "an unsuccessful
mission to try and kill the Al Qaeda leader responsible for the 9/11
terrorist attack on America as he hid in the border region between Pakistan
and Afghanistan."

Another film depicting the hunt for Bin Laden stalled a few years ago at
Paramount, but the events of Laden's death, should renew studio interest.
That project, based on Gary Berntsen's non-fiction book "Jawbreaker",
followed a failed mission to capture the terrorist leader in the wake of
9/11 and was adapted for the screen by Cyrus Nowrasteh

The heavily censored book detailed how close those forces came to finding
and executing Bin Laden in the rugged mountains of Tora Bora until they were
pulled back after a decision was made to let Pakistan tribal leaders lead
the search - a decision which experts felt helped bin Laden get away.

In any case, whatever happens to these film projects, Bin Laden's death is
an event of enormous magnitude and marks a historic emotional moment for
this generation.

FridayMoviez News Desk: Jordan survives 'terrifying' car smash



London, April 25: Katie Price a.ka. Jordan has recently survived a fatal car crash in Argentina.

The glamour girl's car hit and killed two horses, which had bolted into her path on a remote country road.

Horse fanatic Jordan's toyboy lover Leandro Penna was driving at the time of the crash in his homeland of Argentina.

"It was absolutely terrifying. It all happened in a flash and I have absolutely no idea how I wasn't badly injured,” the Sun quoted her as saying.

"I feel so lucky, but more than anything I'm just distraught about the horses. It was so upsetting,” she added.

Witnesses said the couple owed their lives to the fact that they were in a rugged vehicle and were both wearing seatbelts.

A spokesman for 32-year-old Jordan confirmed: "There was an accident and sadly two horses were killed. Katie and Leandro are OK, though understandably shaken."

The crash was about two hours north of Cordoba, where Penna's parents live.
