Surrogates

All right lets talk about a simple concept, Yahoo avatars. Click on the last two words if you want to know what it is. Now that you know ... any user with an account on yahoo or any other such site, can create his own avatar. The avatar might completely look different from what the user might be. And with this avatar I publish my own views or do whatever I want to in the world of web.

Similarly if you could create a robo-avatar for yourself and send it into the outside world, where you are still the mind for it, then it would be called as a suggorgate.

So this movie fictiously says that there shall be a time where everyone is home and its their avatars that go outside. Men are dreaded in their beds controlling their surrogates. Leaving this concept the remaining story is almost like the story of iRobot.

The movie lacks every element of a movie viz like action, comedy, drama etc. It was a complete of waste of time for me. So my suggestion readers, please stay away from this movie.

My rating: 1/5

My verbal rating: Please miss it; You can watch it on HBO sometime 

(HBO advantage: You can change the channel if you don't like )

Inglorious Basterds

I am really wondering what should I write about this movie. It starts as a documentary showing us each and every Chapter which are to be compiled finally and ...

Well, I would give you a basic story. Its Nazis versus the Jews. A Jewish family gets killed by German soldiers and the lone person who escapes that tragedy is the beautiful lady below. Time gives her a chance to take revenge.

In an another episode there are a team of American soldiers who are named as BASTERDS by the Germans for their brutality in killing the Germans. These people make a plot to hit the German top brass big time.

Now the remaining part of the picture is their individual strategies against the Germans which become a combined effort by accident and lead to the Nazi downfall.

The movie is a must watch and that too in a theater. Every part of the movie has something to rejoice and has some funny element along with certain anxiety. Brad Pitt and Christoph Waltz were extremely good in their action.

As the above picture narrates, its the BASTERDS' bat versus Nazis' heads.

My rating: 3.5/5

My Verbal rating: Must watch; in a theater

Wake up SID - (Before you make the audience doze off)

Take out a busy day of your life; book tickets for this movie for the last show of the day and I bet you would doze off before the break. *-Conditions apply, like theater ambiance etc.  :-)

Well its a routine story of a lazy, aimless, dull son of a hardworking, rich dad. The guy is goalless, does not pass the final exams and lands up in nothing. Irritated father scolds him and son leaves home. Ends up in a girl's home whom he got introduced to and helped some time ago. Rest is BS. Does any part of the narration sounds even a little novel or interesting?

The other worst part of the movie is there in the picture above. Bollywood is primarily about glam coefficient, next would be acting. We don't go to the movie to see some one so charmless so dull, I mean she does not have anything to be a heroine. I am not trying to insult anyone here, however everyone has their own place. Just as I cannot be the President of the United States, Konkana Sen Sharma does not deserve to be in Bollywood.

My rating for the movie: 2/5

My verbal rating: Please skip it; zero value for time or money or anything
