Beep! Beep!

Back after over week I am. And this is what've I've experienced over the past one week.

1. "Jillunu (sic) Oru Kaadhal" is a futile attempt at a Tamil chick flick. Too many loose ends left untied. How does Gautham come to fall in love Kundavi in the first place (and vice versa)? And what's with Bhoomika's character's (yeah, I forgot her name so sue me!) sudden change of outlook to life -- or at least that's what they portray. Sure the kid's cute, but that's not enough.

1(a). Product placement sucks. Every bike is a TVS. Everyone drinks Pepsi. And so on.
1(b). Define "Extreme Power" that a car would need. (This scene is hilarious, especially for engineers and those into cars and automobiles in general)
1(c). Santhanam is the only saving grace. "Nair kadai Masal Vadai thinnen, paruppu vegave illai". Vadivelu has always been overrated, in my opinion -- case in point, this movie.

2. "Vettaiyadu Vilayadu" -- for a Tamil movie -- is kick ass. Watch the master's movie, instead of the aforementioned apprentice movie. If this movie were anymore kick ass, the audience would literally have their asses in their mouths as a result of the ass kicking...or something like that. The comparisons to "Kakka Kakka" are inevitable, and there are many obvious references to this milestone Tamil movie, but fluff them, and fluff comparisons to Hollywood movies. Take this movie for what it is and it will r0x0rz j00r b0x0rz.

3. I can't stand pseudo-frenchies who live in Pondicherry.

4. I'd rather buy pr0n.
