'Rab Ne' has nothing much to boast of as far as content is concerned but I liked it nevertheless.The songs were good, acting quite up to the mark (SRK does justice to both his characters) and ahem!the newcomer Anushka has a pretty face too.Moreover saw the movie in INOX rather than on laptop so was a better experience on the whole.
'Eagle Eye' is a fast-paced, action-cum-thriller-cum-mystery flick. Here's the plot from imdb-
Jerry and Rachel are two strangers thrown together by a mysterious phone call from a woman they have never met. Threatening their lives and family, she pushes Jerry and Rachel into a series of increasingly dangerous situations, using the technology of everyday life to track and control their every move.
Warning-Spoilers Ahead!
Story is reminiscient of Terminator with a grand AI system of the US government going out of control but the target is just the US government top brass rather than the whole of humanity as in Terminator and has more of chasing and running around than raw action. Lots of cars have been blown up or crashed for the chase sequences. The climax seemed rather tame though. Connoisseurs of this genre would enjoy it I guess! Personally, I'd rate it higher than its 6.8 rating on imdb.
Transporter-3 was a bit disappointing though.The action seemed cliche having seen the first two parts only a few days back. Jason Statham continues to bash up umpteen number of goons in his trademark style flaunting his six packs at every available opportunity.Here's the plot from imdb-
Frank Martin puts the driving gloves on to deliver Valentina, the kidnapped daughter of a Ukranian government official, from Marseilles to Odessa on the Black Sea. En route, he has to contend with thugs who want to intercept Valentina's safe delivery and not let his personal feelings get in the way of his dangerous objective.
No spoilers possible in this case!The plot line pretty much sums up the movie.Statham fans and die-hard action buffs will enjoy it I suppose. As far as action is concerned Transporter-2 takes the cake for me.T-3 action seems tamer.
Indiana Jones and Temple of Doom is a very old one(made in 1984) and the worst in the series.Boring and factually inaccurate is how I would describe it. (it seems Indians in the British times ate live snakes, scorpions and everything else that crawls or slithers for lunch and dinner!!). Amrish Puri plays the villain who is a devotee of Goddess Kali and brutally sacrifices humans to obtain evil powers from her.Harrison Ford in the role of Indiana is of course the saviour for the potential victims. In short, loads of bullshit as far as the story in concerned.
The parody on Dhoom was too cheap and I managed to laugh not even once throughout so the less said the better.Quite disappointing considering that their parodies on Taare Zameen Par and Chak De India were much better.My advice- Avoid it!
Also saw the Kolkata and Ahmedabad auditions of Roadies and completed the first season of Friends.(finally!!) Friends is simply too good!The humour, the dialogues, the acting...everything.Can't wait to get back to college and download the next season!
