Some movies that I have watched of late

Up(2009)

Its simply amazing how Pixar animation studio churns out masterpieces after another...this one is a simple story with simple characters yet it was a joy to watch..it encompasses a plethora of emotions..its a touching story filled with fun,adventure and its a movie that one can enjoy no matter how old one is...and the animation was top notch to say the least..the locales were so realistic that it made me sit up and wonder if they were actually real or not.If Ghibli is the powerhouse of anime,then Pixar is the powerhouse of animation-you name it-Wall-E,Ratatouille,the sheer rate at which they make good films accessible to all is what is praiseworthy.

Star Trek(2009)

The year 2009 has been a great year for sci-fi movies and what with the supposedly magnum opus sci-fi Avatar in the pipelines looks to finish really well.
This movie was fantastic-the visuals,the concept the plot line,the characters-Spock,and Kirk specially were very well made. You wont get to see a fast paced sci-fi action thriller-space galactic wars than this. Star War fans would definitely dig this one even though it lacked the many land one-to-one combats. The strategies,the time warps were all fascinating from a sci-fi lover's point of view like myself,
All in all definitely worth a watch-JJ Abraham continues to enthrall the viewers-now I think I should go back and continue LOST from Season 3,the kind of drama and taut tension that the director manages to create in this film is quite commendable. As someone who was hardly aware of the franchise(yours truly) to make him like the movie shows the worth of the director-watch it even if you know zilch about Star Trek-you would definitely enjoy it.

Tintorretor Jishu-(Bengali-Feluda film)

the movie is based on probably one of the weakest of Feluda plots..penned by the auteur Satyajit Ray...Sandip Ray handles the subject decently though not in the same way his father did with his films especially the Feluda films...even then its a nice effort from the part of the director for its no mean feat carrying the legacy of a genius father and trying to emulate him...of all the new Feluda films that he directed this one was the least happening of them in terms of twist,adventure or action...cant blame the director much except for choosing the not best of Feluda mysteries...those who have read them in BENGALI would understand what I am talking about..moreover somehow I cant fathom and picturise Sabyasachi as Feluda..he certainly lacks the aura,charm and charisma that his worthwhile predecessor Soumitra Chaterjee had..and of course no one can match the humour,wit and the jocularity of Santosh Dutta as Lal Mohan Ganguly..watch it only if u are a hardcore Feluda fan..
