When his girlfriend dumps him, he is heartbroken and relocates to Goa to work as a lifeguard. He falls for his next-door neighbour Rani, but Rani dislikes him because Sameer had slapped her father by mistake. On top of it, Sameer's new roommate Sunny is a lecherous playboy who has the hots for Rani. This results into a zany battle of wits between Sameer and Sunny over who will win Rani's heart.

My Thoughts: A boring run-of-the-mill movie with a lot of stereotypes. Priyanka Chopra is again the love interest without substance, where the main character falls in love with her on first sight. An attraction which obviously can only be based on her looks. I found it strange at first, that the characters played by Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar are reversed to what I would expect both of them to play. But I must admit it worked here. Amrish Puri is typecast as the strict father of the love interest. But it is a role he plays well.Rating: (From 2010 December Marathon - Discussion thread on December 5th, 2010) Stage Fright, a review by TomTitle: Stage Fright Year: 1950 Director: Alfred Hitchcock Rating: PG Length: 105 Min. Video: Full Frame 1.33:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital Mono, French: Dolby Digital Mono, Italian: Dolby Digital Mono Subtitles: Arabic, Bulgarian, Dutch, English, French, Italian Stars: Jane Wyman Marlene Dietrich Michael Wilding Richard Todd Alistair Sim Plot: In Alfred Hitchcock's world, theatres are where danger stalks the wings, characters are not what they seem and that "final curtain" can drop any second. The droll Stage Fright springs from that entertaining tradition. Jane Wyman plays drama student Eve Gill, who tries to clear a friend (Richard Todd) being framed for murder by becoming the maid of flamboyant stage star Charlotte Inwood (Marlene Dietrich). Filming in his native England, Hitchcock merrily juggles elements of humour and whodunit and puts a game ensemble (Alastair Sim, Sybil Thorndike, Joyce Grenfell, Kay Walsh and daughter Patricia Hitchcock) through its paces. No one turns a theatre into a bastion of dread like Hitchcock and Stage Fright is proof positive. Extras: Featurettes Scene Access Trailers My Thoughts: This movie was very boring to me. I couldn't keep my attention to it. The idea behind it is not bad. The direction is good. But I didn't care about the screenplay.Rating: (From Alfred Hitchcock Marathon on July 11th, 2009) The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ DoenaHome Improvement What's the show about? It's about the life of Tim and Jill Taylor and their three children: Brad, Randy and Mark. Additionally it's about Tim's TV show "Tool Time". Tim stubles often into bad situations with his wife, because he's a bit insensible, but gets always rescued by the advice of his neighbor. "Pilot" Jill has a job interview and begs her husband not to touch the new dishwasher. But he does what he always does: he tries to improve it and blows it apart in the process. My Opinion Tim gives me always a good laugh. But it's another show where I can't watch too many episodes at once. (From The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon on January 5th, 2008) |
