Jack Sparrow rules yet again

Just came out of the theatre watching this movie.....and man its worth every cent of my tickets....a great movie which sets up sky high expectations from the third movie......

Jack Sparrow is and will always be my most endearing, lovable screen characters of all time....all credit goes to writer and director who created this character and full marks (can i have more than that) to Johny depp...he is simply inimitable.....no other hollywood actors could have essayed such a difficult role with aplomb....he is amongst the finest actors hollywood has seen.....

Keira and Orlando were ok in this movie though not as impressive as POTC: Black pearl....but when there is jack sparrow in the movie there is nothing else to see.....

moreover the climax of the movie set up an interesting start to the next movie....the re-entry of Barbossa....i have started playing guessing game as to why Barbossa has been introduced again.....

all in all a fun film to watch and the best summer movie so far.......

Krrish: Lets celebrate Krristmas

festival time is on....all movies are churning monies are jet speed....bollywood has witnessed the best year in recent times with movies like RDB, Fanaa, Taxi 9211, Malamaal Weekly, Phir Hera Pheri, 36 Chinatown, Gangster, Chup Chupke......


Add Krrish to this list....maybe at par with RDB.....i wld still prefer RDB over Krrish....but Krrish is a movie which should not be forgotten so easily....amongst the finest directorial efforts in recent times....Rakesh has tried something very different this time also like KMG.....Krrish is a story of the first likeable superhero of this country.....

Hrithik turns up aces in this film.....his acting is not as good as KMG since it didnt demand those histronics.....however its still amongst his finest efforts......watch out for the way in which Rohit reacts in Krrish during the end reels....thats truly amazing and award-worthy....

Priyanka and Rekha are okay...Naseer and Sharat act well...........

but the main hero of the film are the action sequences and special effects which are on par with hollywood......

Krrish is definitely a movie which cannot be missed....most of the awards for 2006 should be divided between Krrish and RDB......
