Charlie, Harry, Majaa and Things...

Majaa:

Few things I noticed in this movie which was funny include, the way Vikram and his co-stars pointlessly tell 'majaa' after a number of scenes, as if they want to remind the audience that they watching the movie 'majaa', it like how in radio shows and tv shows where the person behind the mike keep telling us they are listening to 'all india radio or radio mirchi or suriyan fm or times fm or you are watching star movies or something along similar lines'
Also, another funny part of this movie include the 'final credits' in which instead of using the word 'Cast' the word 'Cost' was used to provide the names of Vikram, Asin, Pasupathy, Manivannan.....Maybe the producer's intention is to raise a pitch on the high-salaries he had to pay for the star-studded cast, instead of investing more money on the story and other basic areas of this movie.


Things to be before you are thirty:

Ordinary movie.
Expected this movie to be a laugh-riot, since the title sounded more the American Pie genre and of course the famous 'Guru' star Jimi Mistry was also acting in this movie. But this movie remained more down-to-earth more of a black-comedy genre which somehow has provided a another Brit-movie hit 'The Full Monty'.
The plot sounded hollow and did not do much of justice to the star-studded cast. It is very difficult to make movies with many stars and still do justice to their characters, guess 'Love Actually' was good in that respect which was also fiercely anti-Bush.


Charlie and the Chocolate Factory:

Guess, the movie did not live to all the hype after Johnny Depp-Freddie Highmore's success of 'Finding Neverland'. This movie had some really good frames(photography), but the story had no exciting parts and it was more of a deja-vu. The feel-good factor hardly enters one's head, because of the plot which was along anticipated lines.
Guess, Johnny Depp's forthcoming movie 'Pirates of the Caribbean 2' sequel will be as good as the earlier movie 'Pirates of the Caribbean 1'.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire:

The adolescence displayed by almost all the kids in this movie was incomplete, since the director had to move on with the action segments of the movie. Guess, thanks to this adolescence sequences, the emotional-intensity that Harry Potter shows in action-sequences were mostly diluted and he hardly makes an impression.
Maybe reading the book might have helped i.e in understanding the sub-plots inside this story. But the best part about watching the movie rather than reading the book is that it takes just 2-3 hours for watching the movie, but 10+ hours for reading the book.
