The Mist

Having successfully brought Stephen King to the screen with 1994's "The Shawshank Redemption" and 1999's "The Green Mile," filmmaker Frank Darabont returns to the well a third time but comes up soggy with "The Mist." Decent special effects aside, the thriller -- about a killer fog that rolls into a Maine community and traps terrified townsfolk in a grocery store as it unleashes a menagerie of otherworldly predators -- is less horrific than it is horribly didactic. Set extensively in that supermarket, the two-hour-plus gabfest plays like an extended hoary "Twilight Zone" episode gussied up with state-of-the-art CGI, but Darabont's incessant moralizing about the monsters that lurk within proves far less intriguing than those nasty creatures from beyond. Meanwhile, a capable cast led by Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden and Andre Braugher find themselves fighting another losing battle trying to breathe a little flexibility into their stock characters, who, even by horror movie conventions, come across as more than a little hokey. Theatrical prospects for this Dimension Films production, which is being released a day ahead of Thanksgiving, are iffy given the current horror movie market, though the younger fright-night crowd might catch up with it on DVD, where they can skip over all the blah-blah-blah and get right to the cool carnage. Jane's David Drayton is a movie-poster artist and respectable family man who, accompanied by his young son (Nathan Gamble), has gone to pick up supplies at the local grocery store after a violent storm sent a large tree crashing through his front window.Turns out the storm also has left a spooky mist in its wake that is rapidly encroaching on the entire town as well as harboring all manner of deadly supernatural creatures. Things aren't necessarily a whole lot more pleasant inside the market, where David finds himself surrounded by a shrill, Bible-thumping zealot (Harden) who holds all sinners responsible for the occurrence and an equally hard-nosed lawyer (Braugher) demanding logical explanations, in addition to other archetypes. In the process, the store has become a platform for observations about the effects of mass hysteria and the microcosms of society that have a habit of springing up in confined spaces. That's all very well up to a point, but this is supposed to be a horror movie, after all, and Darabont takes his sweet time before getting around to unleashing all those terrifying tentacles and stingers. Then it's back to more verbal histrionics in the aisles. Although comparatively compact by Darabont's usual standards, the picture still runs noticeably long for its genre, even as he tries to energize the prolonged exchanges by darting around the store with a hand-held camera.Actually filmed in Shreveport, La., "Mist" does well by its special-effects budget, with visual effects supervisor Everett Burrell and creature design and makeup effects artist Greg Nicotero providing the type of large-scale thrills absent in this otherwise stagy effort.

Aaja Nachle(LAtest Bollywood)

Aaja Nachle is bollywood’s heartthrob, actress Madhuri Dixit’s comeback film and hence one has a lot of expectations. The film is being produced by Yash Raj films which also maintain high quality in music appeal. The film is a musical and hence the songs are supposed to make people want to get up and dance. The music has been composed by Salim-Sulaiman and the lyrics have been penned by Piyush Mishra, Jaideep Sahani and Asif Ali Beg. Singers like Sunidhi Chauhan, Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal, Richa Sharma, Kailash Kher, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan etc. Madhuri has also lent her voice for a small part. ‘Aaja Nachle’- This is the title song sung by Sunidhi Chauhan, its vibrant and peppy. A traditional feel with Indian appeal but one that allows to gyrate to its peppy beats. Sunidhi Chauhan’s rendition is also good and she has the punch and pep that suits Madhuri’s graceful traditional moves. The musical arrangements have Indian instruments and even the rhythm and melody have a classical appeal. There is one more version ‘reprise version’ which is also a fine dance number. Aaja Nachle is an upbeat, Indian dance track. 'Ishq Hua' – A romantic track sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal. A soft song which has a dose of poetry. A typical Yash Raj song that incorporates soft musical arrangements with soulful lyrics. The beats are slow and the melody is soothing. A soft romantic song that makes you hum along. 'Show Me Your Jalwa' – Richa Sharma begins the song on an upbeat note, it has a catchy chorus which is in English. The rhythm and feel of the song is lively and enthusiastic. Musical arrangements are a mixed bag but lyrics are just average. Kailash Kher and Salim Merchant join Richa Sharma adding spark to the rendition. The song has a rural, interiors appeal and will be liked by the small towns. It has an earthy and rustic feel. ‘Show Me Your Jalwa’ may not have high musical value, but is a catchy time pass number. 'O Re Piya' – This number has a slight ‘qawalli’ fell and is rendered by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. It is interesting in bits and pieces and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s voice gives it a lift. The number is not catchy but perhaps the picturisation will enhance it. Musical arrangements are fine and melody is average. Lyrics are nice. Overall an average number that makes for decent listening. 'Soniye Mil Ja' – Madhuri Dixit adds a sweet touch with her singing and she is joined by Sunidhi Chauhan. An earthy song which has decent musical arrangements and is a dance track. It is has a rustic interiors feel once again. The song is a loud celebration song which is a dance track once again. Lyrics are more sedate and basic. A fare song that may gradually catch on. 'Is Pal' – A romantic duet sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal. A soft romantic track with slow beats and soothing melody. Musical arrangements are fine and it is a feel good number. The duo renders the song with grace. 'Koi Patthar Se Na Maare' – This song has once again been sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal, but it is more of a situational track. With preachy poetic lyrics, the track is not very engaging. In fact it turns out to be long drawn and boring. A track that does not offer much in terms of melody and music. 'Dance with Me' – An average Hinglish dance track sung by Sonia Saigal, peppy beats with loud celebratory musical arrangments etc. A disco feel to the song which has average lyrics. Overall an average number.Aaja Nachle is a mixed album and has few good dance tracks and few good love songs. Some of the dance tracks have catchy tunes and the love songs are melodious. However a few numbers are just average and overall the album lacks the trendy, popular pep of today’s times. Nonetheless the album is above average and can make for good listening. do u want to seee more about that site...more

Gauri - The Unborn (Latest Bollywood)

The two aspects you look forward to in a horror film are [i] The thrills-n-chills should scare the living daylights out of you and [ii] The story should’ve something new to offer. Sure, GAURI – THE UNBORN has a new story to tell, but the chills-n-thrills don’t give you the jitters and jhatkas, barring a scene or two. On the contrary, what you carry home is a socially relevant message: Say ‘No’ to foeticide. Sudeep [Atul Kulkarni], an architect, lives with his wife Roshni [Rituparna Sengupta] and their daughter Shivani [Baby Rushita Pandya]. The family decides to go for a holiday to Mauritius, but the daughter insists on going to their ancestral home. Write your own movie review of Gauri - The Unborn: The parents agree half-heartedly, but decide to visit the ancestral home nonetheless to keep their daughter happy. But an incident from the past comes back to haunt them. And the unseen force threatens to take their daughter away from them. GAURI – THE UNBORN had the potential to work big time, but the screenplay has its limitations. The moment the aatma of the unborn kid swears revenge, you expect the sequence of events that are to follow to give you gooseflesh. But what unfolds is hardly spine chilling. Besides, the pacing slackens in the second hour, which is a deterrent. However, the concluding 20 minutes are the best part of the enterprise. The climax is indeed novel and the end drives home the message effectively. Another aspect that catches the eye is the visual effects, which are skilfully executed and smartly integrated in the narrative. Director Aku Akbar makes a promising debut. He’s a proficient technician, but he should’ve emphasized on a far more convincing script. There’s just one song in the narrative [a lullaby], which is strictly okay. Cinematography is up to the mark. Background score enhances the impact at places. Atul Kulkarni is plain mediocre. Rituparna Sengupta has her moments. However, their intimate scenes seem forced in the screenplay. Baby Rushita Pandya is the real scene stealer. To see a kid carry off a tricky role is wonderful. Anupam Kher is passable. On the whole, GAURI – THE UNBORN is an okay fare that may find its share of advocates in those who tilt towards the horror genre. More...
