Flick,Flop and Shit

As i am relatively free from my college work..i took time to watch 2 new movies.One was a Tamil film 'Azhagiya tamil magan' starring Vijay and the other was 'Saw 4'!. Though Saw 4 didn't hit Indian screens i got to watch it on my PC thanks to a torrent

Here goes my review of the two films...

AZHAGIYA TAMIL MAGAN
The film opens with Vijay being given the Superstar-like intro and he is again being portrayed as the 'common-man'.Bullshit numbah 1.
The first 30 mins are a sheer waste of time...the film could have been reduced to just 2 hours.We are shown the usual intro song and unwanted animations which lead to another song and the same old love story.Bullshit numbah 2.

Then the Director shows us that he has watched 'Final destination'!Our common-man gets to see flashes of images that are going to occur in the future.But these images occur only thrice for our hero and all of them in the first-half.Bullshit numbah 3.
The hero sees him killing his own girlfriend in the future.Afraid that might happen..he runs to Mumbai.There he sees his look-alike(Vijay no.2 and no..they aren't twins).He come to realise that our heroine might as well be hurt by the other vijay.As expected,the look-alike has a villainous character.Bullshit numbah 4.
The good guy is hurt in Mumbai and is advised rest till the last 30 minutes of the movie.In the meantime,the villain takes the Hero's seat left empty in Chennai.He looks to run away with both the girl and her money.As always,our girl is rich!Bullshit numbah 5 this certainly is,as we are all tired of seeing this old story from the 70's.
The film moves quite smoothly in the second half till it is injected with a dampener of a climax.Our girl gives a strong speech to the villain(thinking he is the good guy).The bad guy realises his fault and turns into a good guy!!He finds a pair for himself(Namitha!) and both the pairs live happily ever after!!Big time Bullshit!

The movie is certainly the worst for the actor in recent times.It would have been a good flick had it been released 2 or 3 years back.
Azhagiya Tamil Magan is behind the times!It goes back to the past.
My rating - 5/10.

SAW 4

The film opens with the autopsy of the deceased Jigsaw Killer,who was killed in the ending of Saw III.During the operation, a wax-coated audio cassette is found in Jigsaw's stomach.Detective Hoffman is called to the scene, where he plays the tape which states that, although Jigsaw is dead, "the games have just begun".I don't want to reveal everything here as it might be dampen the mood of Saw lovers waiting to watch the movie.However,i cannot help but include certain spoilers.

The plot is probably the most complex.The traps were much better and less horrifying than those in Saw3.This movie gets the most gory opening of all the earlier Saw's.Though Jigsaw is dead...he is still the one who runs the show.We get to see glimpses of his past and it is an eye-opener for his character.It is finally revealed that the events of Saw 4 have run concurrently to those of Saw 3.The autopsy scene that occurred at the beginning of the film is shown again, revealing it to have occurred after the events of the film and not before. As the tape found in Jigsaw's stomach is played again, Detective Hoffman is told that Jigsaw's games have only just begun, and he will be tested.Saw 4 begins and ends dramatically but there are places that were left to be desired in the middle.The main victim in Saw 4 - Detective Rigg is tested in the movie for no big fault.All he has is his obsession to save people.But what Saw4 does best is that it sets the stage for Saw 5 and i can catch as many Saws.Saw 4 also has the best music of all its prequels.The 'Hello Zepp' tune is intelligently bought back towards the climax.At the end of the movie,all i felt was 'I want more'!
8/10
