Life of Pi (2012)
I saw this movie backwards and the pie was still narrating.
I am an Indian. I watched this in India. With my girlfriend next to me. And we laughed hard throughout the movie because of the horrible Indian accent of all ages of Pi. Thanks to Russell Peters who has actually ruined the Indian accent forever, because lets face it, it is really like that. You can never take a guy who speaks in such accent seriously. "Richard Parker, I have got water for you, Richard Parker" I mean mother of god!!
Speaking of God, and religion, it's not down everybody else's lane, like I am an Atheist and proudly so, so I found this movie a propaganda for religious fanatics.
This Pi guy really should have used pronouns for Richard Parker. Honestly.
227 days out on the sea and still a better love story than twilight, though. Cinematography was awesome of course, watching it in 3D was superb, but its just that. Everything else was a joke.
Ang Lee, I'll have what you're smoking.
Mein bester Feind (2011)
Superb movie, Moritz is awesome, go for it!
Firstly I am Indian and I understand little German and I generally get to watch such German movies which are available to viewers in Asia. That is why almost 80% of Moritz Bleibtreu's movies are available.
Moritz gave another stellar performance here, the actor who was Rudi Smakel was hardly anything compared to him, trust MB to deliver with any given role. Generally casting was good.
The movie, even though not at the standards of Life is Beautiful but this was also touching, funny, thrilling and all of them were at the right proportion making this movie a treat to watch. I am a big fan of the WWII, holocaust related movies and I have seen over 40 of the best titles starting from the 1940's era. Since this topic is overdone it was definitely a huge challenge for not only the script writers but the directors and actors too, and being contemporary in nature, it was pretty neatly done with very little holes.
Story line was very believable, it could be a true story for all we know. The climax was very intelligent and will make even the most stern German like Till Lindemann smirk or give a wry smile.
Deutsche movie at it's best! Highly recommended if you are a fan of this genre and especially Mr. Bleibtreu.
Blitz (2011)
Good fodder for Statham heads!
If you are a Statham fan you would love all his dialogs and his moves but definitely this was not his best work. With the wake of the recent London riots with hoodlums ransacking it was good to see a tough guy iron fist cockney cop bringing all the goodness back to the world. Go Jason Statham, this movie did not have a brilliant screenplay to say the least but whatever it was nobody could have done it better than Jason Statham. This role was crafted for him. Also, if you got Sally Donovan from BBC Series Sherlock as Agent Falls just for her accent here then a thumbs up to you. That was awkward and I could get it right away. Not bad acting from the rest of the cast. Guy who played the Blitz did well. Good one liners and Statham in action are all the positives of this movie. As a pure Statham fan, I'd say 10 for his efforts, but 7 for the movie.
