I hope that means we part (for now! :) ) as friends. Maybe I will lock horns with you at another time, in another place, on another topic!! It has been interesting, this.

I think again you have misconstrued the essence of what I was saying. The apple/oranges analogy was just that, an ANALOGY to show how certain things (music included) are more about personal preference than others. I guess you did not understand that otherwise you would have seen it as an analogy and read more...

Ok, for all others, I understand this is getting tiresome... so here it is. I did not think much of the musical aspect of this film. If you have a different opinion, hey good for you, I am not going to convince you that the music is 'bad' you have your own reasons for believing that it is top-not read more...

Can you give me a very objective, logical review on life? As for “Rating “Virumaandi “ soundtrack as fair, by itself shows your musical acumen / insight.” How convenient it is that you believe that one review on one film has outlined my entire preference on such a vast su read more...

I understand that and I try to do so to the best of my ability, and while I encourage constructive criticism it is my opinion that your comments do not constitute constructive criticism. You have resorted to attacking the reviewer rather than the reviewed piece. Secondly, for someone harping on read more...

mranalyst_v, I understand that 'A review is an evaluation, an examination, an appraisal , a critical analysis of the subject' but if all reviews are so objective then there would be no reason to have a consumer's review would there? Going by your theory, all reviews MUST be objective and since the n read more...

Hi mranalyst, You are right, Maybe I lack the musical knowledge in the real sense especially what’s needed for appreciating rural music and the melody content which is truly missing currently in tamil cine music nowadays. But then again, maybe I don't... and I am just one of the millions read more...

I can see why the 5 stars are baffling, to be very frank, I would give it a 4.5 but that option is not given to me. The plot does vary. I mentioned the various half-baked sub-plots as one of the cons of the film. The love-making scenes were excessive as you pointed out, but like I said, when I read more...

Yes, I *was* pissed off at first for your personal attacks on my character because frankly, you have no right to go around making half-baked assumptions and judging people (based on ,of all things, a review of a film! After all, you can’t claim to know fully the character of a person by readin read more...

One last thing, we cudve gone thru this in 2 diff ways 1) I write a review You disagree with my opinion and say so with your reasons I either agree with ur viewpoint or defend my opinion This leads to a stimulating and refreshing discussion 2) I write a review You disagree with it AND ca read more...

I am not hysterical because you thought my review was misleading, yes, you do have every right to differ in your opinion from mine, what irritated me what your statement that I was a hypocrite based on nothing but my review. As for not leaving the theater, like I said, I was at a special screening read more...

not those of the collective female population of the engineering college I happen to go to. Btw, WHAT difference DOES is make if they like it or not. Are you telling me that I should start basing my opinions on women who happen to go to the same university as I do? Btw, no offense taken... ;)

It would have had a better impact if it were a crisper execution. And this attitude of mine is not solely reserved for Tamil films as you may think, I hated Patch Adams for the same reason, Robin Williams for all his antics cud not save that film becuz it was so intent on playing on and manipulating read more...

went down the drain so I have every right to have an opinion on my movie. Secondly, my opinion is that the first half of the film was just overly-long and it feels like Shankar has tried to compensate by really cutting short the last part. For the movie with such Excellent songs, I was looking fo read more...

gotten R ratings becuz they’ve shown a little nudity (in good taste) while AP3 has a scene where one character farts and then speculates on whether it was agas, liquid or solid mess he made in his pants. You think the theater roars with laughter for such an English film? I walked out halfway t read more...

I see, so what you are saying here is that any down to earth sensible person is one who shares your exact views on the film. Right… so there is no scope here (in this site meant for REVIEWS, let me stress that once again) for any person to have a differing opinion from you, is there? That woul read more...

Rambling on as if prevented from leaving the movie hall by an unseen force as reel after bullshit reel grated those poetic nerves, smells strongly of the H word. H- noun (disapproving) behavior in which subject pretends to have moral standards or opinions that they do not actually have. I need t read more...
