Movie blizzard
I’ve been doing a lot of movie watching in the past 3 days,i’ve seen like 4 movies in these 3 days,If i were to rate them i’d say “Super Size Me” was the best followed by “Pi”,”The Terminal” & “Collateral”
“Super Size me” was definitely a revelation,I knew a lot of americans were obese ,but not that 60% of them were overweight or obese. It’s a must watch documentary for all to know the harmful effects of ‘junk’ food.
“Pi” was an interesting movie,it took me abt 4 weeks to see the movie completly, saw it in parts and managed to completely see it on sunday.It’s not your regular science fiction flick,very absorbing and interesting in parts.It’s from the same guy who made “Requeim for a dream”.
“The terminal” is definitely not spielberg or for that matter tom hank’s best picture.Some parts were really funny,but for the most part it looked pretty stupid.The ending was the saving grace,i know for sure that had spielberg been influenced by any bollywood flick ,catherine zeta jones would have lived with tom hanks ‘happily ever after’.
“Collateral” is definitely worth a watch ,the last half an hour though is a major letdown. I for one strongly belive that if a movie does not end well, it’ s not good.Doesn’t matter how good it is at the start, if a movie does not finish well it’s not a good movie.

my view is that a movie even if it has a bad ending can be absorbing if u have a good script a good camera work and some fine moments of acting.. movie is a mixture of lot of arts …so even if there are some below par things overall a movie can be good… a movie is a team work….

My view is that a movie must have a bad ending to be a good film. I am fed up of those American films where everybody is happy at the end. Bad ending doesn’t imply sad. It can be funny or ironical. I just hate Manichean things.

A good story with decent direction will make a film to make huge print in the cine field.
