BB,
Your soft corner for Vijay continues :-) (2 stars for ATM)
hi sir,
glass here. i saw most(3 of 5) of the diwali releases and am ready to debate which ones were good and which ones weren't. I was suprised by Polladhavan, it was pretty good i thought it would suck,but itz my top pick this diwali. I also saw machakkaran(disappointed very much, trailers promised very much) and azhgaiya tamil magan (vijay sukz period!!!!), and i have to say, both were below average.gotta go watch vel and kannamochi yenada, but i think pollathavan will still be the top diwali release on my list.
balaji is just easily pacified by glitz, style and good looking girls;)......the rating scale differs for different actors...
bb,
on a separate note..

Had low expectations on ATM and hence didn't get disappointed much. Villain character was the biggest weak link as pointed out. The origin, background, irritating after a while dialogue delivery, pathetic characterisation and laughable closing sequence had a lot going against. Infact the second half brought movie notches below.
Lets switch to "Gilli" mode and hope "Kuruvi" flies better.
i was lookin forward to watchin atm as im a college student and only really watch the big movies...unfortunately it has gotten many bad word of mouth reviews...but im still anxious to see it for myself...and anonymous #2, theres just no need for that, try to act like an adult instead of a pre-teen who just discovered cursing....

Eagerly waiting for your Vel review.
atm 2 stars
I think apala's statement on balaji h as been rightly justified with this amount of stars
apala - you rock :)
srivatsan, hmmm... considering the last 4 movies, ATM and 'pokkiri' got 2 stars, 'aadhi' and 'sivakasi' got 1.5 stars. in ATM, i said vijay's acting in the 2nd role was the main reason i didn't like the movie and in 'pokkiri', i said he tries to copy mahesh babu and isn't natural. and this is a guy i have a soft corner for?! :)
glass, that seems to be the general opinion. i've watched only ATM and 'machakkaaran' so far.
anon, ofcourse it does :)
sundar, have seen 1 trailer a while back and it was really impressive. will chk this out :)
bart, my thots exactly. i was surprised by the way the last vision came true. that was the only aspect that saved the 2nd half for me :)
anon, haven't seen 'vel' yet and with the thanksgiving break coming up, it won't be online until next week :)
Namita looks like an 200% enlarged photocopy rather than a clone or a scan :)

one thing i cn vouch for balaji is he tries his best NOT 2b biased! :)and i admire his patience and diligence in watching the suckiest of movies just to review it...beats Hindu,Ind exp and DC hollow:))
They r paid to do so...Bb does it for his genuine passion for Tamil filmdom...u r truly one of a kind nanba!dont stop....
