VTV Mannipaya song - beautiful lyrics

Found these beautiful words in the song 'mannipaya' from Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaya...will try translating below

காற்றிலே ஆடும்

காகிதம் நான் -

நீ தான் என்னை

கடிதம் ஆக்கினாய்

அன்பில் தொடங்கி

அன்பில் முடிக்கிறேன் -

என் கலங்கரை விளக்கமே!

I was still a paper

when you picked up

Then

I became a letter

beginning and ending

only with love.

Thevar Magan - Magic of Kamal and Ilayaraja

I never get tired of watching the climax scene in Thevar Magan.

The point where Kamal wails in agony, when Nasser's mom cries out that all the milk she gave is spilt as blood now. Right there, Ilayaraja adds his chorus into the proceedings producing sheer magic for the next couple of minutes till the end credits roll.

Touching finish...

Ughh...

Am a guy who totally gets into all psycho movies with glee (along with panki and biku). Anything crazy works with us. But man....did I hit the limit yesterday? Saw a movie with one of my favorites Naomi Watts (ohhh...i love her!). And boy.. was I sick!

There was nothing remotely pleasant about the movie where a family (husband, wife and child) are taken hostage by two teenagers (within the first 10 min). The whole movie was about how each one is killed in their own sweet time.

And the sick part was when the lady takes a gun and shoots one of them down. The other teenager searches for the TV remote. And while I was wondering why the hell should he be searching for the tv remote, the director comes up with a blinder! The guy presses the rewind button and the whole movie rolls back to the point when the wife shoots. When it replays, the guy pulls away the gun from her just before she shoots! sigh....

I wish the director dies in the exact same way in real life.

Offbeat movies - 1

As has been asked often of me by a lot of people, am starting this section of writing a list of offbeat movies that I catch up on DVD or TV....and a short review with it. These movies are not going to have any of the mainstream releases that happened recently. So, it will be something that you can pick from a DVD shop...:)

The Ruins (2008) (Horror)

I am one who avoids horror at any costs but this seemed offbeat and hence I got hooked on. I wish I dint!I was completely freaked out on seeing this. On the lines of tourists-get-to-unknown-place premise, this one is too real and you will feel as if you can encounter something like this in a day-to-day life. And believe me..there are no ghosts! Its something more...:)

New Jersey Drive (1995) (Drama/Action)

Now, am a big fan of black movies. I like their style; the way they talk. Bro, am hooked! This movie is about a group of young black car thieves set in Jersey City in 1995. Its kinda slow movie with no big stars but its an interesting watch. And you can catch a lot of slang that might help you to throw around some air!...:)

The Hammer (2007) (Comedy)

This is a very simple and funny movie about an aged boxer who tries to get back to the ring. A guy named Adam Carolla plays the boxer and his straight face humor is a treat to watch. He has a Nicaragua friend who is like that uncle from Borat guy in terms of his comic sense. The scene where Adam wears the ipod and tries to show off before a girl is hilarious! And the girl in this is a next-door-girl and you will like her definitely!...:)

Event Horizon (1997) (Sci Fi/Horror/Thriller)

Lawrence Fishburne stars in this and I don't know how I missed this one earlier. This is an edge-of-the-seat thriller. A space ship gets lost for 7 years and when it suddenly appears, all is not what it seems. The idea in this movie will scare the s**t out of you!...:)
