Avatar – Movie Review

December 25, 2009 by Haas

[rating: 4]

Maybe I should have written this post immediately after watching Avatar. It has been a few days since I watched Avatar, but I think that actually helps coz the whole experience had its time to sink in.

If you are reading this wondering – Should I watch Avatar?
The answer is an emphatic – Yes, but only in 3D.

Avatar isnt just any ordinary movie, with it taking 14 years to make, it is nothing short of an extaordinary experience. The visuals and effects simply take your breath away. While too much effort is put into the effects, they seemed to have over looked more than a few basic requirements.

The Movie Experience…

November 7, 2009 by Haas

I dont like Multiplexes. I like the ability to get tickets without standing in long queues and to know that I can manage to get tickets for a movie even on its very first day, without taking a day off from office.

Me: I finally managed to watch “Love Aaj Kal”
Her: Oh so finallly we can speak about it without me spoiling the movie for you.

Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince – Movie Review

July 17, 2009 by Haas

[rating:4.5/5]

Harry Potter and his friends are back in this the sixth edition of the series. The young heroes from Hogwarts are out to stop the evil forces of Lord Voldemort as he slowly increases his grip on the Wizard world. In the movie version of the Penultimate book of the now legendary seven book series, Harry Potter is put face to face with the origins and younger years of Tom Riddle and for the first watches as his deepest fears come true…

Its never fair to compare the movie to the book it was based on, but the Half blood prince succeeds where many others have failed in the past. In the 150 odd minutes of its running the director, David Yates and screenwriter Steve Kloves managed to capture the essence of the 400 page book, which was easily my most favorite of the series. Along the way they took the liberty to introduce comic sequences and short cuts in the original story to fit the movie within the limits of a movie.
