  • Movie Review-Gangster Squad

    Movie Review-Gangster Squad

    Cast: Josh Brolin, Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone
    Direction: Ruben Fleischer
    Genre: Action
    Duration: 1 hour 53 minutes

    STORY: In the late 1940s, post-Second World War, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) will have to do what it takes to tackle the expansion of megalomaniacal boxer-turned-gangster Mickey Cohen’s crime empire in LA. A group of incorruptible officers are given orders to take down the vicious gangster in whichever way possible. The film is inspired by real events.

    MOVIE REVIEW: Honest and fearless, John O’Mara (Josh Brolin) of LAPD is assigned the job of taking down gangster Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn). He is asked to form his own unit, comprising of like-minded, skilled men who can put an end to Mickey’s growing crime empire. He thus forms his own ‘gangster squad’. The only difference being, his squad will have to violently kill in order to restore order in the city.

    When acting heavy-weights like Sean Penn, Josh Brolin and Ryan Gosling come together, one expects a mind-blowing effect, but that doesn’t really happen. Gangster Squad engages and entertains you with its occasional humor, sleek slow-motion action sequences and stylized gun violence but somewhere falls short of substance and depth. As certain righteous cops fight for honor and justice, you do not feel enough for the characters.

    Filmmaker Ruben Fleischer is known for comedy. True to his style, he infuses some good humor in a few scenes. However, in the very next scene, you see extreme bloodshed. The transition doesn’t seem too smooth here. That very style worked in his earlier film Zombieland (2009), owing to its genre, which was a comedy.

    Emma Stone as the gangster’s moll gets a weak role. Ryan Gosling as the ladies-man seems repetitive. In spite of drawbacks though, the film is high on style and keeps you hooked, thanks to some superb stunts and performances by Josh Brolin and Sean Penn who looks absolutely menacing as Mickey Cohen, his gaze and body language perfect for his character. Brolin is as brilliant as the heroic cop who relentlessly chases Cohen down. As far as stunts are concerned, car chases and fist-fight scenes are superbly shot.

    The 1940’s setting looks authentic too. If you like to witness the battle of good versus evil, mafia and mayhem, Gangster Squad has enough fire, guns and bullets to keep you engaged! But if you seek to explore the criminal underbelly, this may be a tad too simple for your liking.

  • Jacqueline  Fernandez How Men Can Set Rules For Us

    Jacqueline Fernandez How Men Can Set Rules For Us

    Actress Jacqueline Fernandez spoke out on why men should not tell us how to dress up and behave. With the issue of violence against women and the need for a safer environment gaining momentum; fingers have been pointed and questions raised on the portrayal of women in Hindi films. Reacting strongly to such comments, actor Jacqueline Fernandez said, “I think it’s totally unfair to blame Bollywood for such a disgusting act.” Talking about the recent gang-rape case in Delhi she added, “Rape is not only inhuman, but also animalist. People here feel that they can do anything and get away with it.

    I think it is important for the government to make strict laws and stringent punishment so that people have the fear and think twice before committing such heinous crimes.” The actor also voiced her opinion on some of the recent statements made by politicians on how a woman should dress and that they should restrict themselves to doing household chores. “It’s really unfortunate that women are treated in such a manner. When we don’t set specific rules for men, how can they set rules for us?

    Today the main question is to punish the guilty,” she added. Going back to Bollywood’s portrayal of women, the actress said, “I strongly feel Bollywood lyrics should be modified to avoid vulgarity.” Jacqueline who has been linked to producer Sajid Khan in the past admitted that link-ups do not bother her. “I think link-ups are a part and parcel of our industry and one has to deal with it.

    We have a larger-than -life image. It is better to stay good and happy in your own space. Link-ups do not upset me at all.” The Sri Lankan origin actor, who has tried her hands with comedy and is now all set to do some action packed sequences in Race 2, admits that she enjoys both the genres. “Doing comedy is stress-free while action is physically challenging. I have been training with two Vietnamese martial arts experts for the movie and it was fun doing something new.”

  • Oscars 2013 Will Lincoln Snuff Out Life Of Pi?

    Oscars 2013 Will Lincoln Snuff Out Life Of Pi?

    LOS ANGELES (TIP): Torture. Terror. Depression. Revolt. Where’s Uggie the dog when you need him? The 85th Academy Awards season jolted into place on Thursday, as the heaviest number of Oscar nominations — including nods for best picture — went to “Lincoln”, about a president’s struggle with civil war; ” Life of Pi”, about a shipwreck survivor and a tiger; “Silver Linings Playbook”, a comedy, of sorts, about mental illness; and “Les Miserables”, filled with songs of the oppressed. Close behind were “Argo”, about political captivity; “Amour”, a French-language film about death; and “Django Unchained”, about slavery and retribution. “Beasts of the Southern Wild”, about a child’s encounters with rising floodwaters in the South, and “Zero Dark Thirty”, about the murky pursuit of a national enemy, also scored heavily and were nominated for best picture.

    But the real surprise was a triple snub in the best director category: Neither Kathryn Bigelow, who directed “Zero Dark Thirty”, nor Ben Affleck, who directed “Argo”, nor Quentin Tarantino, who directed “Django Unchained”, were included among the five directing nominees. Those were Steven Spielberg for “Lincoln”, Ang Lee for “Life of Pi”, Michael Haneke, for “Amour”, David O Russell for “Silver Linings Playbook” and Benh Zeitlin for “Beasts of the Southern Wild.” The nominations were announced at the Academy’s Beverly Hills headquarters in an early morning ceremony that paired the actress Emma Stone with the host of this year’s Oscar telecast, Seth MacFarlane.

    Hollywood now faces a somewhat longer-than-usual campaign period. A new digital voting system — despite its reported hitches — allowed the Academy to announce nominees two weeks earlier than last year, and more than six weeks before the awards ceremony, which will be broadcast on February 24. “Lincoln,” directed by Steven Spielberg, had gone into the morning as the picture to beat, and it remained a leader, with 12 nominations. But it barely outpaced “Life of Pi”, which beat the expectations by coming up second, with 11 nominations in all, even as ” Zero Dark Thirty,” an early favourite, picked just five. Spielberg’s directing nomination was his seventh (he has won twice), while Daniel Day-Lewis received his fifth best actor nomination, this time for his portrayal of Abraham Lincoln. Though no slouch when it comes to importance, “Zero Dark Thirty”, about the pursuit of Osama Bin Laden, may have been hurt by controversy, as several senators and a number of political critics tore into the film for its portrayal of the use of torture. nyt news service.

    Lindsay Lohan To Feature In Porn Film?

    Actress Lindsay Lohan has reportedly been offered a role in an X-rated film. “Her acting career is going south and it seems as if people are run-ning scared from working with her – some industry insiders think she’s uninsurable, unreliable and far too much trouble,” showbizspy.com quoted a source as saying. Lindsay might star in a “selfpleasuring” porn video much like the one filmed by “Octomom” Nadya Suleman. “Lindsay has had offers before, but one particular online porn com-pany has put $2.5 million on the table,” said a source. “If she says yes, the footage will be offered to pay-per-view subscribers – and LiLo’s friends say her back is against the wall. Every time her law-yers go to court it’s another $50,000. It’s unsustainable and she must know she’s running out of options fast. A move into porn isn’t ideal – especially if she wants to return to mainstream film acting. But right now, she’s not in a position to pick and choose,” the source added.

According to Today’s Parent Magazine, the 40-year-old actress, who is a hands-on mother to three kids with Ben Affleck, won by “a landslide”. The magazine had a list of reasons to choose Garner as a winner for this title, one of them being her appearance, which is relatable yet still “gorgeous and put-together,” and her honesty about being overwhelmed and tired as a mother of three was also noticed, CBS News reported. Apart from this, her candid confession in August that she’s done having kids, was also seen as a strong reason to get this title.

  • Movie Review:Jack Reacher

    Movie Review:Jack Reacher

    Cast: Tom Cruise, Rosamund Pike
    Direction: Christopher McQuarrie
    Genre: Thriller
    Duration: 2 hours 11 minutes
    STORY: A lone gunman shoots five random people in what seems like an act of mass murder. Based on evidence and his flawed past, an ex-army sniper is held as the suspect. He wants ‘Jack Reacher’ (Tom Cruise) to interrogate the case. REVIEW: The film is a cinematic adaptation of Lee Child’s 2005 novel One Shot. Jack Reacher is Child’s successful fictional character from his mystery/thriller novels.

    The film opens with a shooting scene which is disturbing since it reminds you of the current gun violence issue plaguing USA. From the suspect claiming innocence to Reacher getting tangled in the conspiracy crime himself, the ‘whodunnit’ drama keeps you engaged. For those who are unfamiliar with the books, the film does give you a brief backgrounder on Jack Reacher.

    He’s a drifter, an ex-army guy who ‘prefers to be left alone’ when he’s not investigating tough cases. Highly skilled, possessing extreme intelligence, photographic memory and raw strength, he is a man who lives by his own code of honour. Does Tom Cruise fit the bill? In the books, Reacher is described as ‘big and tall’ with ice-blue eyes and dirty blonde hair. Tom Cruise bears no physical resemblance to the character. He does not look intimidating or menacing enough for the goons.

    Thus, much has been said about Cruise being a misfit for the title role. In Cruise’s defence, he sheds his movie-star image remarkably, to play the stoic fictional hero who may not be as ‘exciting’ as his contemporaries. Reacher knows who he is unlike Jason Bourne, does not have fancy cars, clothes and gadgets like Bond, nor is he a wisecracking, fast-talking guy like Sherlock. Cruise, who is otherwise super-expressive as an actor, underplays impressively to portray Reacher. He does justice to the role but on the flipside, you constantly miss Tom Cruise’s charisma.

    Without it, the film borders on being bland in certain portions. The villain (played by director Werner Herzog) with his German accent and coloured eyes is creepy. Certain oneliners are impressive while some unintentionally funny. Action scenes look authentic. There is no loud background score. The highlight is one of the suspenseful car chase sequences, where Reacher is chasing the bad guys while being chased by the cops. It’s been shot brilliantly. The film is more of a cerebral drama than a fast-paced, modern action flick. The suspense is satisfying and so is Cruise’s ‘true to character’ performance. A lot depends on whether you like Jack Reacher, the pragmatic investigator.

  • Deepika Padukone –  I Am Very Harsh On Myself

    Deepika Padukone – I Am Very Harsh On Myself

    Deepika Padukone may have chartered a successful Bollywood career for herself in a short span but the actress says she is rarely happy with her work. The 25-year-old says her selfcriticism helps her do better with each film. “I am very harsh on myself. I am very rarely satisfied with my own work but I am glad that it is like this. I would rather be harsh on myself than be happy with the smallest thing that I do. I compete with myself and challenge myself to do better everyday. It gives me the drive to push myself otherwise I would be stuck in the rut,” Deepika said. She proved that she is more than a pretty face with her powerful performance as Veronica in Cocktail, her lone release this year.

    “I am glad that this film happened for people to realise that. I have always believed in my work and myself but sometimes you have to wait for the right script and opportunity to come your way. Cocktail did that for me.” She has already won an award for her performance in the film. Deepika, however, says she is more happy to see that the audiences’ perception about her has changed for good. “I think awards are always welcome. Big Star awards recently acknowledged my contribution. But I am more happy about the energy shift that I feel from the audiences post Veronica. There is nothing in the world that compensates for that feeling.”

    With her latest film Race 2 ready to hit the screens on January 25, Deepika says she is looking forward to 2013. “I could not have asked for more this year. I invested a lot emotionally into the character of Veronica and I am very happy with the result. It has been a great year for me not only in terms of Cocktail’s success but also with the kind of films that I signed post that. I have an interesting lineup for 2013.” Deepika is looking forward to a busy year in 2013 with Race 2, Kochadaiyaan and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani releases. She has also reunited with Shah Rukh Khan for Chennai Express after Om Shanti Om besides working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali for Ram Leela.

    Recently, a lot has been commented regarding her weight issues, but she says it doesn’t make a difference. “It doesn’t affect me. I think I read about it, I see it on TV, I sit and I just laugh, because tomorrow my film will become a hit and people will shut up,” Sonakshi said. So far, Sonakshi has donned a desi look in all her films – Dabangg, Rowdy Rathore, Joker and Son Of Sardaar. But she says in Bullet Raja, she sports a fusion look.

    kareena to prep up for Prakash Jha’s film

    Every director who has worked with the camera-friendly Kareena Kapoor knows she is a slip-in-slip-out actress who doesn’t believe in preparing for her characters. That is about to change.

    For the first time in her career Kareena Kapoor would be follwing an elaborate preparation plan for Prakash Jha’s Satyagrah. Most of our actresses are not well-informed on current political trends.

    That’s about to change. Kareena Kapoor will have to get into her journalist-activist’s character’s mind for Satyagrah.

    Playing a character modelled on CNN’s super-scribe Christiane Amanpour is not going to be a cakewalk for Kareena Kapoor. Prakash Jha, we hear, has worked out out a gruelling regime for Kareena which includes “getting into the mind” of the activistjournalist. Says a source close to the project, “Kareena would have to become thoroughly familiar with presentday political affairs .And that doesn’t mean just newspaper headlines. Prakash wants her to become sensitized to India’s contemporary politics. Her character is a fiercely militant investigative journalist.

    For her too look credible Parkash feels the words about present day politics and politicians should not come from the script.

    They should flow naturally from the actress’ sensitivities as an Indian .” Apparently Kareena’s preparation for the part would include going through the rigorous research material that Prakash Jha has accumulated for Kareena’s character.

    ‘Race 2’ has been most challenging: Jacqueline Fernandez

    Actress Jacqueline Fernandez considers ” Race 2″ as her most challenging film and says a lot of hard work has gone into it. “It is the most negative character I have played. It is very challenging to do something like that. I had to tackle each scene with an underlying thought that the character is concealing a deep dark secret. Every character is dark and that is the beauty of the film,” she said in an interview.

    “It is a nice change. It’s something new to try. It was very challenging. To be this evil person and be negative, you have to work on yourself,” she added. Comparing “Race 2” to her previous hit “Housefull 2”, Jaqueline said: “‘Housefull 2’ was like a walk in the park. It was fun, everyone was having a good time. Everything was spontaneous. ‘Race 2’ is more calculative, you have to rehearse. You need to understand that certain messages need to be sent to the audience. So ‘Race 2’ was most challenging.”

    Lea Michele boasts about her tendency to don cleavage-baring ensembles on the red carpet, admitting that it took some time during her transition from Broadway star to up-and-coming Hollywood actress before she felt comfortable enough to show off her assets. Now that the ‘Glee’ star has found her footing in Hollywood, the actress is much more comfortable with getting things off her chest. “These babies are great.

    They are my prizewinners,” the New York Daily News quoted her as telling Marie Claire magazine. “For a while they were out and about, showing off on Broadway every night, then they came to LA and were like, ‘No one else looks like me here!’ “They were nervous to make their appearance but feel they’ve earned their place. So they asked if they could come out, and I was like, ‘All right, you guys.’ They definitely rose to the occasion, so I’m going to continue to give them more opportunities,” she said.
