Avatar (2009)
A visual extravaganza ! Cameron still has it in him !
Being a devoted follower of James Cameron, I had huge expectations of this project, and I was not failed. Avatar is a modern day day epic reminiscent of Star Wars and is definitely going to garner a cult following. Though the storyline is thin and predictable, the visual treat that Cameron offers us reflects the genius in the great director. The movie was a roller-coaster ride from the word go and not a minute bored me. The casting was perfect and it was a pleasure watching Sigourney Weaver re- uniting with Cameron. Stephen Lang deserves special mention for beautifully portraying his role. The movie is an experience that would revolutionize cinema and would definitely be a trend-setter of sorts.
This movie proves that Cameron still has it in him and is a master director. Kudos to him. I wouldn't be surprised if this movie grabs a few Oscars this year, if not, be adjudged the best movie.
Surrogates (2009)
Entertaining and thats it !!!
For starters, i am a huge fan of Bruce Willis and he definitely didn't disappoint me with this movie. If you are looking for entertainment, then this movie is definitely one for you. A slick sci-fi thriller with good visual effects. The concept of Surrogates may seem similar to the concept of virtual society in the recently released movie 'Gamer'. But this movie is definitely a more refined version with indeed a social message. The plot is nothing exceptional, but OK. The running time is perfectly suited for the movie and i personally didn't feel the movie was rushed up. The action sequences, though not spectacular, were good. Bruce played his part to perfection. None of the the stars including Radha Mitchell or Ving Rhames had a solid role to play. All in all i would rate it 7/10.
Manichitrathazhu (1993)
A unique blend of Nail biting drama,Suspense,horror,Thrilling sequences and breathtakingly stunning climax.........

Soon a series of ghostly events cut loose and fear begins to grip the family.Mohanlal acts the role of Dr.Sunny who comes to the aid of his buddy Suresh Gopi and solves the puzzle to discover there is more than what he had imagined to be solved.The movie offers an ideal comedy track from late Kuthiravattam Pappu, Innocent, Ganesh and Sudheesh. Mohanlal leaves a memorable mark. However the full credit goes to Shobana for her stupendous acting. This may be the best of Fazil movies and by far the best suspense thriller in history of malayalam cinema.
For those thriller crazy maniacs, this is the ideal movie. Go grab ur copy of DVD for this evergreen classic.
