Ghajini, a review by TomTitle: Ghajini Year: 2007 Director: A.R. Murugadoss Rating: 15 Length: 183 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.35 Audio: Hindi: Dolby Digital 5.1 Subtitles: Arabic, Dutch, English, French, Portuguese, Spanish Stars: Asin Thottumkal Aamir Khan Pradeep Rawat Jiah Khan Riyaz Khan Plot: Ghajini is the largest grossing Hindi film of all time. It is the only Indian film to earn one billion rupees at the box office across India and it grossed 4 million US dollars overseas within a week of its release. A film about a man with only 15 minutes of memory recall. A man who was once suave, successful and had everything a man could desire. A man who had everything he loved snatched away from him, including his identity by brutal senseless violence. A human being who is forced to become something close to inhuman. A story about his wounded, savage quest for revenge. Driven by the pain of what he once was and had... Awards:
Extras: Deleted Scenes Featurettes Music Videos Scene Access Trailers My Thoughts: The screenplay was written after the author first heard about Memento. After the screenplay was finished, he watched Memento, and he decided that his screenplay is different enough to Memento to warrant an own movie.And he is right. Except the fact that the main protagonist has short-term memory loss because of an attack in which is fiancé was killed and he badly wounded, and the fact that he takes polaroids to remember stuff and tattoo his body, this movie takes a different take on the premise. Like I had expected, it did not switch the scenes around like in Memento. Instead we only get flashbacks which tell the story before the accident. The present day shows us how he is going after the murder of his fiancé with a vengeance. The flashback story is a fun romantic comedy type story of how he met his fiancé. And it shows the happenings which lead to the attack. The present day is a much more violent movie than Memento. For some reason these two greatly different styles work very well together in this movie. Also Aamir Khan did a great job potraying both incarnations of his character.

Bambino is the Sheriff there after he accidentally shot the real Sheriff (i.e. he thought the Sheriff was pursuing him, but he wasn't). Trinity takes the role of the Deputy Sheriff and together they help a group of Mormon settlers who have trouble with a man who wants their land for his horses. My Opinion: Except for the early movies, Bud Spencer & Terrence Hill movies are always harmless fun. They are childhood favourites of mine and have a certain cult status here in Germany. This is mostly due to a very unique dubbing of these movies but I still enjoy them very much and I own pretty much all of them.

When She Was Bad Buffy's got a new, not-so-nice attitude; the Anointed One plans to resurrect the Master. My Thoughts: A good start to the second season. I like how they made it so Buffy had to deal with all that she went through during the end of season 1. 2. Some Assembly Required Someone is building a woman using body parts from different girls ... and Cordelia's head is on the wish list. My Thoughts: Another decent episode... enjoyable... but nothing special really. 3. School Hard Spike and Drusilla come to town, and Spike invades Parent-Teacher night. My Thoughts: Excellent episode! Definitely one of my favorites. The episode that started the Spike craze that swamps the Buffy fans... Even though I like Spike well enough... I don't know why he is as well liked as he is. 4. Inca Mummy Girl Buffy and Joyce offer to take in a foreign exchange student, but instead get a life-sucking mummy who's taken an interest in Xander. My Thoughts: Another good episode. First it is a giant insect... then it is a mummy girl... poor Xander just has no luck what so ever. (From Buffy the Vampire Slayer Marathon on November 10th, 2007) |
