The music in this movie is also superb. One may not notice it while watching it, but once u are done watching, the sound stays there in your head.
The joker's lip-smacking, even though is a little bit irritating, is one of the things that makes his role what it is.
And as usual all his gadgets are super cool and stunts are good. I think the script was also very good. There are some really nice dialogues.
Only thing that I would have changed is Batman's voice. It sounds a little gay when he is not Bruce, i guess it is supposed to give some kind of a cool, secretive and frightening feeling to the people of Gotham.
The Times-of-India's movie reviewer sucks. Hancock and 4 stars.. wtf.
Kung-fu panda is ok ok.. All the jokes are the once we have already seen in some other movie, and the story is also not something new.
Now to the second part of my heading. Taj Mahal is a recently released Kannada movie. I went to "prashanta" theatre in my home-town. Unfortunately i went about half and hour late and missed the starting of the movie, but it looks like i didn't miss much. The story is about an honest guy who is madly in love with some aunty in college. It so happens that she is also in love with the same guy but doesn't really get to know its the same guy whom she slapped and did all the things a "good-looking" babe is supposed to do when some not-so-cool guy comes and expresses his emotions.
So finally our hero after having sung a million songs, only one or two with the aunty who is not really with him, and the rest alone and forlorn, finally decides to call it quits and returns home a loser. In the middle of all this we have some executive from a foreign company owned by our very own aunty's dad, doing sketches of the loser and sending it over Yahoo! mail. I seriously think Ananth Nag should start acting as the guy's dad instead of the hot-aunties dad in every movie. By the way, "preethi, prema, pranaya" was one of the best Kannada movies i have seen till now. I think Kavita Lankesh has done a very good job. Ok now back to Taj Mahal. Once our aunty waits for the sketch to load on Yahoo! mail, which i think had a size of 1GB, she suddenly realizes that the loser is her hero. She gets all worked up and starts asking her dad to get him for her. The dad who consoles his spoilt aunty decides to get things straightened out and goes to her college to get this guys address. Now at this point of time i came to realize what i had missed in the first half hour of the movie. The loser had a dairy. He would write everything in his dairy and some reporter has got hold of this dairy and is explaining the story to a movie producer. And the movie producer is none other than "mungary male producer. Mr X". I don't remember his name, so i guess the producer knew this would happen and hence the title "mungaru male producer". This reporter, since the dairy was lost by the loser when returning home to his parents, decides to get the complete story and goes to the college and gets the address of the loser.
In the climax, both the aunty, her dad and his minions and the reporter reach the village of our beloved loser. So now again a flashback of what actually happened when the guy reaches home. He finds his parents working hard in some "thoTa". He explains to them that they are losers since without their loser genes he couldn't have managed to miss exams,getting kicked out of college etc etc. The dad accepts his mistake but explains that he can't really help it. So the loser is told to go home and wait for some time while they finish up cutting grass. Just then tragedy! The loser gets hit by a lorry and he dies on the spot. loser's mom dies of a heart attack and his dad goes mad. We return from flashback to see that the loser's dad is raving that his genes will not get propagated. The aunty cries a lot and the picture ends.
Now the ending was the best part of movie. I also liked the way the helplessness of the loser is portrayed. He is so addicted to this girl that he would do anything for her. Poor guy.
I hope this wasn't too boring. I also realized something after watching The Dark Knight. I get dizzy when i see those scenes in which the camera goes round and round someone.
A list of books.
The Great Gatsby is a book for the demented.
The three musketeers is a good book. Don Quixote, i have struggled hard to get to the end of book 1, i think i will read book 2 when i retire. The Amulet of Samarkand series was ok ok.
I read a lot many books, but can't remember any, so i guess they all were just ok.
