John Apparao 40+ Telugu Movie Online
Cast: Krishna Bhagvan, Simran, Sayaji Shinde, Ali, Jeeva and others
Direction: Kuchipudi Venkat
Music: Kiran Varanasi
John Appa Rao wanted to reveal something, but at last the whole story and screen play is wastage of time and money for the audience.
Appa Rao (Krishna Bhagvan) is a fashion designer and resides in Visakhapatnam and is well co-operated by his friends Rajesh, Melkote, Jeeva and others. His marriage is delayed due to family burdens and is now 40+ in age. To keep up with the physique and the vigor of young people, Krishna Bhagvan workouts well in a Gym and maintain his aged body physically, though it is not properly plotted. His profession of fashion designing also earns him well and is now a settled person in life.
Meanwhile, he tries to find out many matches for a suitable bride for him, but all of them turn into flops. At this point of time, a beautiful girl enters his life and that is Simran whose character’s name is Pravalika. Incidentally, they both meet and Simran asks him to design a dress, which he does and Simran gets so impressed by the dress design and creativity that she asks him to accompany her to UK and also suggest him to establish a designer wear showroom over there.
On the other hand, Appa Rao (Bhagvan) is bowled by the beauty of Pravalika and falls in love. So he decides to oblige Pravalika and aggress to accompany her to UK. At this time the twist is added in the story before the interval. It is learned by the audience that Pravalika (Simran) who is in favor Appa Rao, is actually acting on the pre -planned plot of international criminal named John Masthan Bhai
The actual backdrop of Simran is revealed in the second half of the movie, and it is narrated that Simran is professionally a BBC Journalist and she wants an exclusive interview of the international Criminal John Masthan Bhai. But John sets a condition that, with the help of her, he wants to migrate to Dubai from Hyderabad. This is due to the reason that John and his crime partner Razak (Sayaji Shinde) are wanted criminals by the Hyderabad police, as they both plant a bomb in Mehdipatnam Rythu Bazar, in which many people are innocently killed.
Since Appa Rao is a carbon copy of John, Pravalika (Simran) Plans to kill Appa Rao and in disguise of him wants to migrate the criminal John as Appa Rao who is a fashion designer.
The rest of the story is predictable and all is ended happily.
Performances:
Krishna Bhagvan who is was a villain initially in his career later on turned into a full fledged comedian and now with this film has joined the band wagon of the comedian turned heroes. He plays a dual role of an ISI agent and also a Fashion designer. As the story entirely revolves around him, he justifies his characters and also looks apt for it.
Simran who has started her second innings on silver screen looks glamorous and her shapes and curves are well maintained and also seems toned in some sequences. Her dialogue expression is superb and also her dances are excellent. But in some sequences lack of make up make her wrinkles appear on her face and this looks little bit unusual on silver screen.
Sayaji shinde with his French beard looks stylish and performs his role well. The comedy track is made up of Ali, Jeeva, Venu Madhav, Raghu Babu and Rajesh. But the comedy is just tickling the audience than making them laugh. The music is average as most of the songs are remix songs.
The film is entering in the first half, but the second half o the film is boring and is predictable and the direction lacks its experience in this. The songs and comedy track does not impress the audience as they get the feeling that the film is dragged to make it above 2 hrs with this non-sense.
On the whole this film is not for the family viewing and also not for youngsters, though it may generate some interest in the males above forty. Simran looks dry and lack of glam is seen in her as she is little old then the present and also is a fade out in the industry presently. May be some pretty face would have added some more interest in the film.
Any way best of luck Krishna! And Mr. Kuchipudi Venkat you made a mistake this time.

Gharshana Telugu Movie Online
Story
DCP Rama Chandra IPS (Venkatesh) is an orphan and a passionate police officer. He does not believe in justice through judicial court, hence eliminates the anti social elements through encounters. He falls in love with a beautiful and tender-looking school teacher Maya (Asin). In one such encounter, he eliminates an Orissa-born gangster Das. Gangster Das's brother Panda (Saleem Baig) pledges to take revenge on Rama Chandra and kidnaps Maya. The rest of the story is all about good wins over evil.
Artists Performance
Venkatesh: Venkatesh never looked so stylist in the past. He developed masculine body to suit the role of a well-built cop. His costumes in 'Cheliya Cheliya' song are cool. He exhibited appropriate histrionics by underplaying in certain scenes. He changed his body language and mannerisms as well.
Others: Asin is very tender in her soft role. She is extremely adorable in close-ups. Saleem Baig is good in the role of main villain. But the dubbing voice given to him does go overboard many a time. This film does not have familiar faces except for Venkatesh and Asin. The teammates of Venkatesh in this film are apt. Comedy actor Rajesh did an insignificant role.
Technical Departments:
Story - screenplay - direction: Story of the film is a routine one. The best thing about Gowtam's direction is stylized shot-making. The director started the film on flashback mode. Screenplay of the film is Ok in the first half, but is placid in the second half. The director failed in getting the emotions and feel (the agony of hero against the wrongdoers) in the right way.
Music: The biggest asset of the film is superb music by Harris Jayaraj. The background score of the film is also good. The picturization of songs is neat. This film starts with Chelia Chelia song. The last song of the film is an item song by Yana Gupta. Asin's introduction song 'Bhigi Bhigi si' is very good.
Dialogues - lyrics: Dialogues by Kula Sekhar supplement the serious mood of the film. A few dialogues have swearwords (though with audio cuts) as well. Dialogues do play a vital role in making any Telugu film entertaining. The dialogues written for this film are not entertaining enough. However, the lyrics by Kulasekhar are good.
Other departments: Photography by Rajasekhar is excellent. Camera angles and filters used are good. Stunts by Peter Hynes in this film are not of typical mass style except the last fight. Editing cuts are good. Choreography is contemporary. Costumes by Asmita Marwar are good.
Analysis: The first half of the film comes in voice-over mode as flashback. It introduces various characters in a slow way. The real story of the film starts with the entrance of Panda. The second half starts in an interesting style and it loses the steam as the climax approaches. The plus points of this film are music, Venkatesh, photography and stylish taking. The negative points are slow narration, lack of Telugu commercial elements, dry scenes and lack of substance. This film has got more style and less substance. It is the time for Venkatesh to stop going after remakes of Tamil action films with the directors of other languages and start encouraging Telugu directors. On the box office front, it might have something to offer for A centers audiences, but would find it difficult to sustain in B and C centers.

Mee Sreyobilashi Telugu Movie Online
Mee Sreyobhilashi is a movie with a message, the second one Rajendra Prasad starred in after Aa Naluguru. It has good dialogues, pacy narration and well-written albeit flat characters. The flow is not interrupted by any songs as the title number is played in the background and is situational.
Plot: Rajaji collects a group of people who have given up on life for various reasons, from failing in an exam to harassment from in-laws to financial crisis. They all want to end their lives, but he asks them to journey with him to Srisailam where they can fall from a cliff and make it seem like an accident-moreover, the company will give each other courage. One of them, a man with a terminal illness, writes it in his diary and dies in an accident before boarding the bus. The police find it and are in search of this group, while the group sets out on its last journey.
Story, Screenplay and Direction: There are really only two points that could have been done better. One is the reactions of people (for anything said or done) which are not spontaneous-the editing might be to blame, but only in this aspect. Ten people going on a suicidal journey would have been either tenser, ill-at-ease or depressed. This is evident, but the consistency is not present in some scenes.
Apart from that, the movie is watchable and what more, it moves very quickly. You never realize that the time went so fast till the break. The story is predictable, sure, but that doesn't make the viewing any less enjoyable. Everyone knows the story of Rama and Sita, but each director/storyteller has a different style of presenting it. The same goes for Mee Sreyobhilashi. The narration here is kept very simple and smooth.
The screenplay is another asset for the movie. The flashback is kept brief, and the ending is good albeit understood. A few of the performances are amateur, but some of the other pros more than make up for it.
Performances: Naresh has done an excellent job as a producer whose movie 'Nasanam' flops and the financers hound him day and night. He really gets into the skin of the character, with that accent and mannerism, he steals the show. Raghubabu as the alcoholic bus driver comes a close second. Krishna Bhagawan as one of the ten, Nasser as the police officer in charge of stopping this group suicide and Ali in his cameo round it off nicely as far as the characters and performance go.
Rajendra Prasad gives a convincing performance, but his makeup is a blotched job. Meena as a girl being harassed by her in-laws and Dhanush & Roopa as a couple whose parents don't agree to the match are okay. Raavi Kondala Rao & Radha Kumari as an old couple whose sons are burdened by them are good. Chinna as the terminally ill man is flawless. Brahmanandam's cameo is amusing.
Music and Dance: The title number by Koti is a pleasant composition, and the background is not overbearing.
Last Word: It's raining small movies-either in terms of starcast, budget or otherwise. Some of the big movies this year have been disappointing. But movies this month such as Mantra, Anasuya and now Mee Sreyobhilashi make up for that because of a solid storyline, interesting narration and decent performances. The message is very good and crystal clear, and the movie stays in focus and concentrates on that single point throughout. In other words, it doesn't drag. A good start for a debutant director.

Aata Telugu Movie Online
Story
Sri Krishna (Siddhardh) grows up watching films playing in the theater in which his father works as a movie-projectionist in a village. Satya (Ileana) is harassed by Vicky (Munna) - son of a politician - who wants to marry her. Satya escapes from home and Sri Krishna falls in love with her the first time he meets her. As the goons and police chase Satya, Sri Krishna protects her and drops her in the house of the politician. He wins Munna’s confidence. The rest of the story is the one-sided game between Sri Krishna and Munna.
Artists Performance
Siddhardh: Siddhardh has always played the character of an NRI or a boy from upper class in all Telugu films (Boys, Yuva, NVNV, Chukkallo Chandrudu and Bommarillu). For the first time, he has donned a character from lower middle class family. His role is that of a movie buff who loves Telugu films and old classics. Hence it is extremely important to have an actor that pronounces the dialogues the same way heroes does in old films. Siddhardh tried his best, but could not get the best dialogue delivery to suit the requirements. He altered his hair style and performed effortlessly in all the scenes.
Ileana: Ileana is gorgeous as female lead in this film. She is beautifully showcased in the songs. She is awesome in 4th and 5th song of the film. This is probably the 3rd film after Devadas and Pokiri where she is a treat to the eyes. She also gave some unique expressions in the boat episode. It has become a fad to keep a dialogue reserved for her behind in the recent films of Ileana.
Others: New actor Vicky is alright as Munna. In the comedy department, Jaya Prakash Reddy is pretty good with his dialect. Sunil and Brahmanandam have done characters that are similar to what they have been doing in previous films. They generated good amount of comedy. Ravi Babu character is good. Yesteryear's vamp Anuradha played Jaya Prakash's wife. Singer Smita performed in a song. Sayaji Shinde did the role of a cop. Producer MS Raju gave guest appearance in a song.
Technical Departments:
Story: The story and scenes of the film draws huge inspiration from several films. The basic plot is very similar to that of Gudumba Shankar. The first half is all about the couple on run. The second half is all about how hero makes fun of the villain who is all set to marry heroine. The other inspirations include Cinema Paradiso (opening sequence), Project A (first fight), Dil Hain Ki Maanta Nahin (hero - heroine meeting for the first time) and Mr. Bean (Sunil running nude in a hotel).
Screenplay - direction: Since there is hardly any story in the film, it is pretty difficult to write screenplay. Screenplay of the film is ok except for the climax. The director tried to create a sensible link to the incidents happened with the climax, but it hardly works. The director banked more on comedy and songs to narrate the story. He also concentrated less on establishing the love between the lead pair. The emotions are not strongly established.
Other departments: The cinematography takes the top slot in technical departments. Chota K Naidu made sure that he exploited good locations in the first half. Music by Devi Sri Prasad is alright. The picturization of songs is good. Dialogues by Paruchuri have sparks at times. Artwork by Ashok is very good. Production values by Sumanth Art banner are grand.
Analysis: MS Raju is always known for putting a strong emotional content in all his films irrespective of their box office performance. For the first time, he attempted making a film that does not have any emotional depth. He tried to do a breezy film this time. The plus points are entertainment and songs. The negative points are lack of emotions and unimpressive climax. We have to wait and see how common audience receive this film.

Parugu Telugu Movie Online
Cast: Allu Arjun, Prakash Raj, Sheela, Jayasudha (guest role), Poonam Bajwa (guest role), Sunil and many others.
Banner: Sri Venkateswara Creations
Music: Mani Sharma
Producer: Raju
Story, Screenplay & Direction: Bhaskar
Tagline: Parugu - run away as fast as possible
Strengths: Allu Arjun and Prakash Raj
Weaknesses: Weak story and dragging screenplay
Must see scenes:
1. All the comedy scenes
2. Prakash Raj drunken scene with Allu Arjun expressing his agony for his eloped daughter
Analysis: Parugu movie is the second movie for Bhaskar after Bommarillu and as the trend follows it will not be a phenomenol hit (second movie of most of the recent directors is not a hit). It is all about how a father feels when his daughter elopes with her lover. Bhaskar showed the father’s love from son’s point of view in Bommarillu where as he showed father’s love from the father’s point of view in Parugu.
Bhaskar wanted to prove that he is not wrong in both the movies. One can find the complete reverse side of Bommariilu movie. I agree that Parugu is a complete different story but it lags the effective on-screen discription ie screenplay. The movie dragged a lot in both first half as well as the second half.
Note: After seeing Parugu movie, one can easily relate it to the recent mis-hap which shook entire Chiranjeevi family. This obvious relation will be because it has Allu Arjun in it who comes from the same family. Seeing this movie, one will surely feel the pain and agony what Chiranjeevi felt when his daughter went away. The audience will surely sympathasize Chiranjeevi after watching Parugu movie. (is this one kind of political entry stunt by Chiranjeevi ???? Who Knows….)
Performances: Allu Arjun is as usual cool in this movie too. His action and his dance sequences doesn’t show much difference from his earlier movies like Happy, Arya and Bunny.
Heroine Sheela is sweet and beautiful as a village girl. Poonam Bajwa who did a guest performance in Parugu has nothing to mention about. Jayasudha as Allu Arjun’s mother has no role to perform.
Special mention about Prakash Raj should be done here. He, as an agonizing father gave splendid performance. He stole the entire show in the movie.
Sunil and his friends are good and gave rib-tickling comedy with proper timing and proper punch dialogues.
Music by Mani Sharma is average. Even the picturization of these songs couldn’t add much to the music.
Story by Bhaskar is different and good. It highlighted the recent bad incident which took place in Megastar family. But this will not help much to the success of the movie because the screen play is not upto the mark. The entire movie dragged. The viewer gets bored after certain point of time.
Direction, again by Bhaskar is good but is not highlighted because of the bad screenplay.
Story: Krishna (Allu Arjun) is a happy go lucky guy who gets trapped in the family of Prakash Raj who is searching for the latter’s eloped first daughter Subba Lakshmi (Poonam Bajwa). In the mean time Krishna falls in love with Prakash Raj second daughter Meena (Sheela) and plans to elope with her. After seeing the agony and pain of an eloped daughter’s father, Allu Arjun decides to leave Meena. What happens next should be seen on big screen only.

Silanthi Tamil Movie Online
"Silanthi" is a provocative suspense thriller with interesting twists and turns. Journalist-turned-film-maker Adhiraj has adopted a new approach in keeping with the changing times when conservatism is giving way for a free society where the so-called IT culture is striking deep roots upsetting the age-old customs and traditions.
It is a small budget 101-minute film shot in just 25 days. With this film Monica, (who played conservative roles in "Azhagi" as Nandita Das, "Sandakozhi" and "Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi"), gets her big break and plays a glamorous role without inhibitions. Playing the protagonist is the debutant Munna, who is the nephew of Malayalam actress Jayabharathi. The film was shot in the picturesque locations of Puducherry. It got an "A" certificate from the Censors for the theme is bold and daring.
As the title of the film denotes, the film tells the story of a married couple on honeymoon, caught in a dangerous web. It is about what happens to them in 48 hours. According to the director, it is based on a real-life incident that took place in Bangalore a few months ago. Monica plays a newly married woman who unwittingly gets into trouble and her man, Munna, helps her out.
Munna and Monica visit a resort soon after their marriage. She is haunted by a bizarre incident that took place in the past. A mystery man is on her trail. A flashback shows three of Monica's friends as IT professionals earning fabulous salaries. They enjoy life to the hilt with booze, datings and what not. Their pranks on an LIC agent prove disastrous. The man sustains head injuries in the binge and dies. Though she is in the clear, Monica commits a faux pas. She helps her friends in disposing of the body. The three girls get killed one after another. Even while Monica is on her honeymoon, she is not able to shrug off her guilt and tells her loving husband, Munna, about the incident to which she was a mute witness. The two press the panic button leading to a pulsating climax.
Monica is the pivot around which the film revolves, and she has come out with a stunning performance. She is bold and beautiful. There is a kissing scene which is justified by the script. Monica also does a "dare-bare' act. The honeymoon scenes were shot in a scenic beach island 20 km off Puducherry. Adding to the glamour are two romantic numbers featuring the lead pair.
The first half of the film revolves around Munna and Monica. The second half is action-packed and racy.
Debutant Munna shows promise. He is able to bring out all the nuances the role demands. He makes it all look simple.
The narration, dialogues, the music and the background score are laudable.
With critically acclaimed cinematographer Fouzia Fathima behind the camera and fast-cut editing by Satish Kurusova, the aesthetic value of the film is enhanced.
What is notable is creating an erotic mood without any vulgarity. And, it is a brave attempt by the director to break away from the conventional formula.
"Silandhi" is an experiment in new cinema reflecting the changing mores.

Aamir Hindi Movie Online
Rajeev Khandelwal, yet another television star transitions to the big screen, leaving behind a saga of controversy, the most significant being his on-off relationship with his mentor Ekta Kapoor. The soap queen had launched him through her saas bahu serials and ensured that he warmed himself into the hearts of his audience, nee women of all age groups, who were quite taken in by his good looks and well groomed persona.
Playing the part of a regular doctor, who has worked hard to emerge out of his middle class moorings to make a future in the UK, he returns to India where he has his mother, two sisters and a younger brother. Ah, yes, he happens to be a Muslim but a secular one, with a Hindu girl friend and a conviction that he is the master of his destiny.
How this conviction is blown to smithereens is seen the moment he alights at the Mumbai International airport and finds a larger force dictating his every move and action. His eyes seek out his family members who had promised to receive him at the airport, in vain, his luggage gets whisked away in an unfamiliar taxi, a mobile phone is forcibly thrust into his hands and the moment he takes his first call on it, he is left with no choice but to follow strange directions by a voice at the other end, with whom the only connection is that of a shared religion.
What follows is a bizarre sequence of events, a la Phone Booth where Colin Farrel was trapped in a phone booth by a sniper, only here it is Rajeev who unwittingly plays out a part that has been written for him by a terrorist outfit. Sucked into their nexus to do their bidding, he is forced to cast aside his questions, simply because he has absolutely no choice in the matter.
The sheer helplessness and agony of being at their mercy and of not comprehending the larger picture is brought out well by the actor, with a face that is emotive and sensitive. To give him credit in his debut film, he does not ham or over act. In a very subtle and if one may say dignified way, he plays the part of a regular guy trapped in very frightening circumstances.
He has the screen presence and versatility to play a range of roles, though it is the dark brooding or angry young man parts that will become him. What comes across with an eerie intensity is the fact that what happens to Aamir, could happen to any of us. The shock and disbelief of being so very vulnerable to external forces, in this case terrorism and jingoism is brought out succinctly.
Quite the lone ranger who carries the film on his slim shoulders, he could work on his dialogue delivery and voice modulation. In some intense parts, his voice streteches into a shrill monotone that is jarring.
Racy and barely of 90-minutes duration, it makes for gripping viewing. At the end of the day it is a brave film. The launch pad of television’s golden boy, sans a glamorous heroine, item number, raunchy songs. In fact there are no overseas locales. Come to think of it, the hero does not even get a chance to display a designer wardrobe. It’s a singular black suit that he dons through the film. A movie that challenges the adage, you are the master of your destiny, to tell you in no uncertain terms that destiny is a matter of chance and certainly not choice.

Pranali Hindi Movie Online
Starring :Hemant Pandey, Nargis, Raman Trikha, Sudha Chandran, Upyendra Limaye, Vinay Apte
Music :Kailash Kher, Naresh, Paresh
Director :Hirdesh Kamble
Producer :Nikhil Mathur
Pranali-a never ending journey of a devdasi releases this week. The movie releases without much promotion or hype under Nikhil Mathur'€™s Harward Entertainments banner. The movie marks the solo debut of Nargis who was last seen in Garam Masala.
The story revolves around Pranali(Nargis) , a girl born in a small village and soon falls prey to the downtrodden systems of society. On the account of serving God, the child is offered as a Devdasi to the high priest in the village and soon becomes an object of lust.
Life becomes much tougher when Pranali gives birth to a girl and soon struggles to educate her daughter seeking a normal life for her. On grounds of being a sex workers daughter, the girl is refused admission in school.
Soon comes in an NRI (Raman Trikha) to do a research on Sex workers in India and soon engages Pranali and the gang of sex workers including Kanchi (Rohini Kapoor) , Salma (Vaidehi Singh) ,Chanda (Dipsshikha) and Akka (Sudha Chandran) into the battle for legalization of prostitution by the government.
Sounds interesting huh? Hmm'€¦. Well , that'€™s what many believe and expect it to be one of those hard-hitting films. Though the movie tackled relevant issues, the execution and direction by Hirdesh Kamble is pretty poor. The story, screenplay and dialogues by Hirdesh Kamble and Manoj Pandey literally kill the entire film.
The movie is tremendously vague and the so called journey of the devdasi leads you nowhere. The movie starts off with the little Pranali and her encounter with the high priest , minister and from there to being a sex worker and from there moves to being a mother and then fighting as a social worker etc and finally the book release makes it a complete boring and vague mix of events.
To add to it all is the boring and dull Bhaigiri sequences including Upendra Limaye as the taxi driver which makes it completely pathetic. Upendra tries to carry the film off as the solo made lead in a film overloaded with women. Upendra even gets to swing to a song sung by Kailash Kher being a complete out sync track.
The movie keeps on dragging and truly becomes a never ending journey for the audiences. On the performance scale Nargis does show us that she has immense potential but the script in this case makes us overlook all performances even that of Sudha Chandran and Dipsshika.
Music of the film by Kailash Kher and his Kailasha band members Naresh and Paresh is such a letdown and the addition of songs in the film make you yawn. No comments on the other aspects of the film.
To conclude, Pranali comes across as a very poor launchpad for Harward Entertainments. With a movie being tremendously a never ending dull, boring journey; let'€™s hope that their next few ventures are worth a watch. Nargis no doubt is talented but needs to select her flicks carefully.

The Incredible Hulk English Movie Online
Universal Pictures
Directed by:Louis Leterrier
Written By: Zak Penn, Edward Norton, from Marvel comic book by Stan Lee
Cast: Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, William Hurt
Opens: June 13, 2008
Who would have guessed that an arty director like Ang Lee, known for “Brokeback Mountain,” “The Ice Storm,” “Sense and Sensibility” and “Eat Drink Man Woman” helmed a blockbuster like “The Hulk” in 2003? Money talks, I guess. The choice of Taiwan-born Mr. Lee for that film may have been unfortunate, a critical and popular disappointment which at a long 138 minutes was talky and filled with psychobabble about repressed childhood memories. That problem seems to have been corrected with the choice for director of Louis Leterrier, who, true to his last name has dug in his heels, kicked up the dirt, and sent out a blazing summer movie which the Marvel Comics crowd must have been waiting for. Co-director of “The Transporter,” about a man who works delivering packages but who breaks the rules, and “Transporter 2,” about a mercenary accused of kidnapping the son of a high U.S. official, Leterrier knocks out a movie that’s weak on romance and wit, which for humor relies on two cameo performances and just two or three humorous remarks, but tears up the screen with powerful roars and some stunning scenes of Brazil and New York by cinematographer Peter Menzies.
Casting Liz Tyler to replace the original “Hulk”’s Jennifer Connelly, Edward Norton in lieu of Eric Bana in the title role and William Hurt taking over from Sam Elliott as General Ross, “The Incredible Hulk” dumbs down the original by overthrowing the complex dialogue of the 2003 version substituting action that is far too rapid to follow but which should please the targeted audience in their teens and twenties who escape into the air-conditioned multiplex from a June heat wave.
Leterrier makes few concessions to those who skipped the Marvel comic, the TV series starring Lou Ferrigno or the Ang Lee movie version, but listen closely to the dialogue and you’ll know that physicist Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) is determined to find a cure from a botched gamma radiation experiment that turned him into a huge green monster whenever his blood pressure hits 200. As co-written by Zak Penn (“X-Men: The Last Stand”) and by star Edward Norton (who was reportedly disappointed that the movie was cut down to 114 minutes), “The Incredible Hulk” finds fugitive scientist Banner working in a Brazilian bottling plant while he e-mails scientist Professor Samuel Sterns, a cellular biologist who might provide him with a cure. Meanwhile General Thaddeus Ross (William Hurt), who happens to be the father of Banner’s ex, Betty Ross (Liv Tyler), sets out among the Cariocas with a small regiment to capture the man in the hope of turning the soldiers into formidable hulks.
The movie’s best part is the first half hour, before the monster ever appears and the drama rests on human dimensions. Banner shows the bottling supervisor that he’s “too smart” for day labor by fixing the equipment whenever it breaks down, but he doesn’t watch his blood pressure as the U.S. army closes in, sending Banner racing across rooftops, emerging as The Incredible Hulk. As the monster, he will take on military machine guns, bazookas, bombs and a powerful wind machine, crashing choppers out of the sky, throwing tanks this way and that, heaving soldiers against walls and trees. He settles down only occasionally, but when he is about to bed his ex as a human being once again, he stuns the poor woman, coitus-interruptus-like, warning her that he is getting too excited.
Ultimately Hulk must battle The Abomination, an even larger foe created from the human body of Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth), a career army man who unlike Banner actually wants the power to turn into a monster. The ferocious struggle may remind one of the conflict in Chris Weitz’s “The Golden Compass” between two bears, the larger one getting the edge for most of the struggle.
Menzies’ camera seems to love the face of Liv Tyler, honing in on her close-up far too many times to capture her signature look of sympathy and concern for the Hulk, a woman who threatens “Never speak to me again as your daughter” when she discovers her father’s motivation to take down her lover. “The Incredible Hulk,” surprisingly, works best on a human level, turning into caricature when the monsters have their way with the mere mortals, but then I’m showing my age. This is, after all, a summer movie that delivers the smashes, crashes, and shootups reminiscent of 1950’s sci-fi movies, with the Hulk’s caring not at all about petrol’s four dollars a gallon since he can readily fly from Brazil to Guatemala to Mexico to Virginia to New York and ultimately British Columbia without suffering the torments of coach.

Leatherheads English Movie Online
Rated: PG-13
Runtime: 1 hr 53 mins
Theatrical Release: Apr 4, 2008 Wide
Synopsis:
From his casual charm to his cleft chin, George Clooney has frequently drawn comparisons to an actor of another age: Cary Grant. With his third directorial effort, the Oscar winner pays homage to the style of films that helped make Grant famous, such as BRINGING UP BABY and HIS GIRL FRIDAY. In... From his casual charm to his cleft chin, George Clooney has frequently drawn comparisons to an actor of another age: Cary Grant. With his third directorial effort, the Oscar winner pays homage to the style of films that helped make Grant famous, such as BRINGING UP BABY and HIS GIRL FRIDAY. In 1925, when LEATHERHEADS takes place, professional football is a joke, especially when compared to its more respected college cousin. Teams across the country are folding, and player Dodge Connelly (Clooney) will do anything to keep his own team, the Duluth Bulldogs, from folding. The enterprising (read: scheming) Dodge steals Princeton star and war hero Carter Ruthford (John Krasinski, THE OFFICE) from his school, and soon the Bulldogs are winning, but it's the game of football that is the real champion as fans pack the stadiums. Meanwhile, reporter Lexie Littleton (Renée Zellweger) begins investigating Rutherford's past, thanks to a tip from one of the star's old war buddies that he may not be all he seems. The pre-regulation football is dirty, but it's far cleaner than the action when Dodge and Carter vie for Lexie's affections. From the classic Universal logo that opens the film, Clooney firmly sets his film in the sepia-toned past. His lightning-fast dialogue is certainly reminiscent of the repartee between Grant and costars such as Katharine Hepburn and Rosalind Russell. But as much as he owes to the screwball comedies of the 1930s and '40s, he also is mining the same vein that his frequent collaborators, the Coen Brothers, did in films such as THE HUDSUCKER PROXY and INTOLERABLE CRUELTY. Clooney's previous directorial efforts--CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND and GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK--were also both stylish films set in the past, but LEATHERHEADS is a more fun, mainstream work.

The Hottie and the Nottie English Movie Online
MPAA RATING: PG-13 for crude and sexual content
Starring Paris Hilton, Joel Moore, Christine Lakin, and Adam Kulbersh
Nate Cooper has been smitten with Cristabel Abbot since he first laid eyes on her at the impressionable age of six. But before he could try and snuggle up to her at nap time, or maybe send her a valentine, his family moved away. In the intervening years there have been other women in Nate's life, but none who could measure up to Cristabel. Convinced she's the only girl for him, Nate decides to move back to L.A. and track her down. The good news: she's still single and stunning. The bad news: there's a reason she's still single. Cristabel's still best friends with the same ugly little girl Nate remembers from first grade, June Phigg. The two are inseparable. They live together. They go to yoga together. They would even go on double dates together...if only June could get a date. And Cristabel simply refuses to leave dear June home alone. Determined to spend as much time as possible with Cristabel, Nate sets out to find a boyfriend for June. But even when he pays them, guys all flee at the sight of her. And then it hits him: June needs a makeover. But as Nate and June become friends and she emerges from her cocoon, Nate slowly realizes that the girl of his dreams isn't the hottie at all. It's the nottie -- who turns out to be something of a hottie herself. (Regent Releasing)

100 Million B.C English Movie Online
Hard as it might be to believe, 100 MILLION BC is actually a fairly entertaining if inconsequential b-movie saddled with some spectacularly z-grade effects work. I was never once bored while watching 100 MILLION BC and that is something of a minor miracle given The Asylum's track record. That alone also makes 100 MILLION BC more fun than Roland Emmerich’s $100 million 10,000 BC.
Despite its title, 100 MILLION BC has next to nothing in common with Emmerich’s overblown suckfest. Instead it's more of a sci-fi adventure that for a good part of its running time harkens back to many a monster movie of the 1950's, the sort where a team of explorers searching an uncharted frontier find themselves facing menaces of the unearthly or prehistoric variety. I found it hard not to be reminded of such similar Fifties features like THE LAND UNKNOWN and KING DINOSAUR.
Looking quite a bit like longtime character actor Colin Fox, Michael Gross of TREMORS and "Family Ties" fame stars as Dr. Frank Reno, a brilliant scientist who has spent the last 60 some odd years guilt ridden over his part in the failed wormhole experiment - expect numerous references to the fabled Philadelphia Experiment - that saw a team of soldiers get zapped back to the Cretaceous Period with no chance of rescue. Not even the discovery of prehistoric cave paintings with the message "FRANK, IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT" provides little comfort for his guilty conscience, especially considering two of those lost to time were his older brother, Erik, and a pretty nurse he'd had a thing for.
If you're thinking to yourself that Michael Gross doesn't seem old enough for someone said to have been working for the military back in the 1940's, well, you'd be right. But the filmmakers do have a cheat to try and explain it - Frank Reno was a child prodigy who graduated from MIT when he was 12 and went right to work for the US government.
Might as well mention that Greg Evigan ("BJ & The Bear", "My Two Dads") also appears in the utterly thankless role of a military commander who is there to greet the SEAL team, instruct them to listen to Dr. Reno, wish them bon voyage, welcome the returning ones back, and finally give us the traffic helicopter report of what's going on during the finale. Not much of a role for someone whose name is being used to help sell the film.
Now, in 2008, Frank is finally getting a chance to try and rescue those lost men and women. Because wormholes are not an exact science, Frank and the accompanying Navy SEAL team will arrive in 100,000,000 BC six years after the others did. Acid-spitting plants, dinocrocs, pterodactyls, and raptors will make their trek perilous.
Speaking of wonky science, much concern is raised on Frank's part regarding potential paradox problems. I'd say it's a little late for whining about creating a paradox once you're discovering prehistoric cave messages written in English. If not, then the thought of future scientists discovering and carbon dating machine guns lost back in Cretaceous period should really make it a moot point.
For that matter, if these soldiers from 2008 had to take special pills to help them adapt to the oxygen quality of 100 million year old air, then why would anyone assume those other soldiers are still alive?
Soon they will find survivors existing much like the way humans were portrayed in Battlefield Earth. Those 1940’s troopers really were troopers; six years fighting to survive in a land before time with no guarantee they would ever be rescued and yet they all seemed remarkably upbeat about the whole ordeal. Brother Erik (Mr. Blue Lagoon himself, Christopher Atkins) in particular takes it all in great stride, chalking it up as a grand adventure and remarking to his reunited brother how much he's looking forward to seeing another whole new world in 2008 when they get back.
There'll be no time to celebrate their rescue or marvel at the modernity of 2008 or even a chance for anyone to take a decent shower because a big hungry carcaradontosaurus (i.e. think T-Rex only bigger) also made it thru the wormhole. They nickname it "Big Red" based on the hue of some of its skin pigmentation.
100 MILLION BC's second half has "Big Red" roaming the surprisingly desolate streets of downtown Los Angeles while Atkins and his bunch run around either trying to escape from the dinosaur, distract the dinosaur, or get the dinosaur to chase them so they can lure it into a potential trap. Any which way you cut, the second half mostly consists of a whole lot of running around on the part of the principle actors and the man-eating dino. I'd be lying if I said it didn't get a tad monotonous, certainly not as fun as the first half was. I'd also be lying if I said it didn't remind me more than a little of similarly goofy stuff seen in last year’s DTV dino-in-LA flick THE EDEN FORMULA (REVIEW HERE).
Whether or not the CGI dino effects of 100 MILLION BC are superior to that of The Eden Formula's "Land of the Lost" T-Rex puppetry is a matter of debate. These special effects are definitely special only in a short bus kind of way; the computerized dinosaur creations were so cartoony looking I couldn't help but be bemused watching them in action. Another scene even had the actors standing in front of the rear projection of a Los Angeles freeway tunnel, the footage of which must have been rolled backwards because one replay worthy moment saw a lone SUV inexplicably drive past them going in reverse for no discernable reason.
Strange as this might sound to some, I felt the laughable effects, paper thin plot and characterizations, and screwy science actually contributed to the film's lightweight entertainment value in much the same way many of those 1950's sci-fi flicks, and with a zippier pace too. If you're the sort of person who looks back on films like THE ANGRY RED PLANET with affection then you'll probably find something to enjoy about this diverting throwback to 1950’s sci-fi dino flicks from ex-Asylum standout Griff Furst.
Hokum? Yes. But acceptable levels of hokum.

Kung Fu Dunk Chinese Movie Online
This project was originally conceived as the movie version of popular Japanese manga SlamDunk! and that’s not something new to Jay Chou, who made his movie debut playing a character from another wildly popular manga Initial D. Along the way, it was decided to incorporate some kung fu into the movie, so hence the title, even if the idea wasn’t very original, with Stephen Chow’s Shaolin Soccer coming to mind with martial arts and ball games combined.
However, and thankfully, those scenes where kung fu actually influenced the games were kept to a bare minimum, and in Kung Fu Dunk, really quite unnecessary, because they don’t add much to the plot nor drum up much excitement, and at most offered some cheap laughs and reminisced about the time when Stephen Chow used kung fu in football games. Jay Chou is comfortable in his role as a martial artist Fang Shi-jie since it’s not the first time he fought using martial arts (Curse of the Golden Flower anyone?), and under the stunt direction of Ching Siu-Tung, he was made to look really believable as he trashes countless of gangsters in a bar as seen in the trailer, just to let you know who’s boss.
That was almost why his character is made a kung fu practitioner, and for the fact of giving him an excuse for being a top shot, able to shoot the hoops from practically any angle. And with Eric Tsang as a small time hustler Chen-Li who sees his potential and becomes his agent, he joins a university to play varsity basketball, but not without the initial objection of team captain Ting-wei (Chen Bo-Lin) and team star Xiao-lan (Baron Chen, in his big-screen debut). But you know with team members on the same side, it’s not before long they combine their strengths to take on adversaries on the basketball court.
And I will stick my neck out to say that this movie is to basketball just as how Goal! was to football. It made the sport look good because of its charismatic characters, despite them dripping so much coolness and aloofness on the courts. Here, special effects and wire-work were employed to make the actors seem like professionals who can take out a top side in the NBA league, and in all honesty, really looked stunning, especially when they mimic various dunking moves, and performing combo-moves thanks to technology and stunt work. So in actuality, the kung fu elements don’t really have to be in the movie. The stunt work itself will be able to justify most of the moves as they’re quite grounded to reality, only having you to suspend belief that boys of average height have springs in their feet to leap that height for a professional dunk.
Pity too that the number of games were only a handful, with the time spent on plenty of subplots, but each were loosely developed and flitted in and out of the story as and when they please. Things like the abandoned Shi-jie’s quest to use the basketball games to get his parents to one day attend them, that of gangsterism penetrating and influencing games, and his love life with Charlene Choi in yet another flower vase role just to look good and do nothing else. Everyone’s acting a little too cool, leaving little room for main characters to add depth. One of the key themes here is the realization of the importance of teamwork rather than on individual talent and ability, and it could have been brought out much stronger if the players themselves interacted a lot more off the court, than only on it, and during competitive games, apart from the high-fives and friendly passes.
With the US$10 million budget, it is easy to see where the money went to - the effects, in particular, a massive fantasy sequence at a crucial point in the movie. It’s quite flawless, nice to look at and probably justifiable on its quality alone, but again I like to emphasize, that even without those elements, the basketball stunts itself would still make this a decent movie with nifty basketball moves. And having Jay Chou playing for your team is a big boost to any hopes of a box office success.

Kangaru Malayalam Movie Online
For those who expect something outstanding from director Raj Babu, Kangaroo could very well turn out to be a disappointment. But for those who go to see the film with a realistic bend of mind, aware that the director's earlier deliveries (Chief Minister K.R. Gowthami and Chess) could hardly be called average, the film could very well be a satisfactory experience.
Kangaroo takes us into the life of Joseph Abraham, popularly called Josekutty (Prithviraj), who has to look after his entire family, especially since his elder brother Mathew Abraham a.k.a. Mathukutty (Jagathy Sreekumar) has occasional fits of insanity and even turns violent. Josekutty is an auto-rickshaw driver and is an honest guy with lots of friends. It is quite accidentally that Josekutty happens to meet a young girl (Kavya Madhavan). He is drawn to her instantly though he doesn't even know her name or her background.
In the meantime, his friend and marriage-broker Paapi (Harisri Ashokan), brings a marriage proposal for Josekutty that could solve his financial problems as the girl is from a rich family. The only hitch is that the girl has a child and Josekutty has to accept the child too. He is at first reluctant, but Paapi and Josekutty's brother-in-law Kunjachchan (Salim Kumar) convince him that he has to do it for the sake of the family. And so he decides to meet the girl. He is told that the girl's name is Nancy and that she would be in a church with her sister Jancy, who has to approve of the match.
When he sees the very same girl whom he had seen earlier, standing with the kid, he approves of the match. But it is not Nancy whom he had seen, but her younger sister Jancy. Anyhow Nancy's elder brother Stephen (Laloo Aalex) is happy that Nancy is finally getting married. Things move towards the marriage and it is only on the eve of the marriage that Josekutty realizes his folly. Paapi assures him that something could be done the next day, but the very same night Nancy is found dead, hanging in her bedroom. All this leads to the building up of the climax.
Prithviraj as Josekutty does justice to the role, though he doesn't do anything extraordinary. Kavya Madhavan as Jancy doesn't have much to do, but is OK. Laloo Aalex is his usual self as Stephen, but one wonders why he goes for the same kind of costume in almost all films. Kaveri as Nancy is good. Harisri Ashokan as Paapi does his role convincingly while Jagathy Sreekumar is good as Mathukutty. Salim Kumar and Suraaj Venjaramoodu seem to be repeating themselves and seem to be put in for the sake of attracting viewers.
Jayasurya puts up a good performance as Monachchan, who is a dependent and aide of Stephen, especially in the climax. It shows another side of his acting caliber. Technical aspects are OK while the songs are just average and won't last in our memories for long. In total the film, though not bad, wouldn't make it big at the box office as it has nothing outstanding to offer. The director and the scenarist could have seen to it that the film was a bit slicker so that it could have had better box office appeal.

Rock n Roll Malayalam Movie Online
f Rock 'n' Roll had come from some rather new or low-profile director and with some other artist in the lead role, it could at least have been considered passable fare. But since it is directed by Ranjith and has Mohanlal in lead role (along with an array of other high-profile stars), Rock n' Roll was expected to rock and that's exactly what it fails to do. The film is simply unimpressive, because it has got nothing to offer at all.
Rock 'n' Roll is set in Chennai, and revolves around a bunch of characters who are all associated with film music. The protagonist is Chandramouli, a drummer of international repute, who is always busy and has been abroad for years. His friends, all of whom are based in Chennai, share a kind of rapport that has evolved out of friendship which had started in their initial days of struggle. Prominent among them music directors Gunashekharan and Viswanathan, violinist and conductor Isaac, his wife Nirmala who is also a lyricist and who has left Isaac with their only son and is living separately, tabla player Balu, keyboard player Henry and choreographer Meenakshi.
It's when director Lal Jose (Lal Jose himself in a cameo) wants to get a tune composed by Gunashekharan that Guna, who wants to do something exceptional, thinks of bringing in Chandramouli. He succeeds in tracing him down. Chandramouli is in Mumbai, on a visit and is all set to fly to Cape Town. At Guna's request Mouli flies to Chennai and agrees to play the drums for him. The music is composed and it is in between that Mouli chances to meet Daya Sreenivas, a young, upcoming singer based in Mumbai.
Chandramouli is cynic who doesn't believe in things like love, and sees women merely as things to satisfy his physical desires. But with the entry of Daya things change. He is smitten by the love bug and from here the story takes off.
Mohanlal is good as Chandramouli, but the character definitely doesn't give much scope for outstanding performance. However, the ease with which he gets under the skin of the character is something to be mentioned. The style, the mannerisms, the gait - everything is OK, but still the performance is short of being exceptional. This is something that the writer (here the director Ranjith himself) should have taken care of.
Siddique as Guna, Mukesh as Viswanathan, Rahman as Henry, Lal as Isaac, Rohini as Nirmala and Shwetha Menon as Meenakshi don't have anything much to do, for the film and its story is centred on Mohanlal's Chandramouli. Lakshmi Rai as Daya has an element of freshness, and performance-wise too she is good. Manoj K. Jayan as Saidapet Giri, who had come to Chennai aspiring to be a singer and eventually ended up becoming a goonda, is good.
The scenes involving Suraaj Venjaramoodu elicit no laughter and are rather distasteful. If the director had put in Suraaj because of his popularity, he has failed in successfully cashing in on Suraaj's presence in the cast. Jagathy Sreekumar is his usual self as Khader Khan, Mouli's friend.
The main problem with the film is that it has nothing new to offer and the story is wafer thin. The presentation is logical and the frames have been composed well (courtesy cinematographer Manoj Pillai and art-director Sunil Babu), but the film leaves much to be desired. The script is loose, and the characterization has gone terribly wrong. The way the characters of Guna, Viswanathan, Meenakshi, Isaac, Balu, Henry etc are presented in the initial reels makes us expect much out of them, but later they all fade into the background with the arrival of Mouli.
It has to be pointed out that some of the frames are rich and attractive, especially the ones in which the titles roll against the backdrop of the sea. But still, there are so many loose ends that the film fails to impress any class of viewers and thus would definitely end up being a wash out at the box office. The songs are passably good but won't stay in our memories for long.
Those who wish to see the movie are advised to go with a totally unprejudiced mind, not even remembering it is a film directed by Ranjith having so many stars in the cast. Just see it, maybe enjoy as much of it as you can and then forget it as soon as you leave the theatres. Rock 'n' Roll, in spite of all its shortcomings (which are many) doesn't make you yawn or doze off or get bored, though you may not like it.

Flash Malayalam Movie Online
One gets the feeling that people like Sibi Malayil should stop directing movies now. Not that the director who has given us many memorable films doesn't have the talent to make good movies. It is simply that the feel-good kind of movies that he has always specialized in making, seem to have few takers these days. Why else should Flash, which is not a bad movie at all, get loud booing when it ends?
It seems filmgoers in Kerala are themselves not sure of what they want to see. Directors like Sibi Malayil and their kind of films don't get much breathing space. Flash definitely is not a bad movie, though it has nothing spectacular to offer.
The film takes us into the life of Dhwani, a young girl who had been brought up in Chennai, but now studies in an engineering college in Kerala, staying at her dad's ancestral house, along with her grandfather, uncles, aunties, cousins et al. Her father Shekharan, who has his business in Chennai, frequently comes to see his daughter. There is a reason why Shekharan had decided to take his daughter to Kerala to stay at his ancestral house.
Dhwani sees her cousin Veena behaving rather intimately with the driver Balu. She loses her cool and questions her and even slaps her. Many in the household raise eyebrows at her, but her grandfather stands by her. Balu is questioned and when it's found that there is a romance budding between him and Veena, he is dismissed and sent away. But soon after there are other developments and Dhwani begins to behave rather queerly, just like Lady Macbeth, rubbing and cleaning her hands again and again and stating that the stains of blood cannot be removed.
She also starts applying for posts that don't match her qualifications. It is then that Priyan, who is her cousin and who also loves her, asks her to apply for a post in a company named Infinity Visual Magic. Their Dhwani meets Mithun Madhavan, who is the CEO of the company. Things take a new turn from there and it later turns out that Mithun Madhavan is actually a psychiatrist who has come to study Dhwani and cure her, on Priyan's request. More startling things follow.
Mohanlal does the role of Mithun Madhavan quite convincingly, in his characteristic style. Parvathy (of Notebook fame) as Dhwani too is good. All the others in the cast -Saikumar as Shekharan, Ponvannan as Dhwani's grandfather, Siddique as Circle Inspector Jacob Chandy, Indrajith as Priyan, and P. Sreekumar, Suresh Krishna and Jagadeesh as Dhwani's uncles have done their respective roles well. Jagathy Sreekumar as Sasi, also called Idea Sasi, who is Mithun's right-hand man, does his role in his usual style, but it seems the character could have been given a bit more prominence and it would have done more good to the film.
S. Bhasurachandran has done a good job with the script. Cinematography by Sajan Kalathil and art-direction by Prashanth Madhav are in tune with the theme and the mood. The songs don't have much appeal. In total, though the film is not outstanding, it is well made, well directed and well acted out, and doesn't deserve the booing it is getting.

Futurama: The Beast With A Billion Backs English Movie Online
I think Matt Groening is an incredible guy, based on what he has achieved. With The Simpsons, he has achieved a status not even thought about by other cartoonists. He took his crazy drawings and developed them into a hit show which has continued to adapt and outshine the other shows around it. Now there’s a chance to see some of his other work in a brand new DVD.
Starting this June 24th, now available on DVD from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment is the latest installment of a series from the minds of one of the greatest animators. Futurama – Beast With A Billion Backs continues the saga of Fry, Bender and the rest of the delivery team. Bring home and prepare to enjoy this innovate cartoon today!
In this feature length extension of the Futurama series, a rip in space appears. The Professor and the rest of the gang try to explore it, but Bender is repelled and they must take him to the hospital and abandon the mission. Fry ends up in a relationship with one girl and four other guys and decides he can’t take it anymore so he must quit the scene and flee the universe. He floats across the rip and into the next universe where he is captured by a tentacle monster. In the meantime, Bender joins the league of robots and sets about making a deal with the robot devil so he can kill all humans. The tentacle monster comes back and takes over the minds of everyone in the universe except for Lila. Then things get really crazy.
The special features included in this disc are an optional audio commentary from Matt Groening and some of the cast members, a featurette looking into how the movie was made, some interesting easter eggs and a selection of trailers.
This movie was okay, but it was nowhere near as funny as I hoped it would have been. There were some great jokes, mainly one liners and some truly hilarious characters – Bender being always good for a laugh. Yet it still disappointed. It was not that compelling or humorous. And that’s horrible, because this show has always had boat loads of potential. Anything can happen and you can take the show in any direction whatsoever. Maybe Groening somehow lost his touch for this humor in the time after the series was cancelled.
This Beast is a somewhat disappointing creature.

3:10 to Yuma English Movie Online
Rated: R
Runtime: 2 hrs 2 mins
Theatrical Release: Sep 7, 2007 Wide
Synopsis:
Based on the Elmore Leonard story, 3:10 TO YUMA is a riveting remake of the 1957 classic Western. It's the story of Dan Evans (Christian Bale), a down-and-out rancher who lost his leg in the Civil War. With a wife and two sons, he is struggling to put food on the table, and unable to make payments on his land. When the notorious gunman Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) is apprehended nearby, a few local men are needed to escort him to the town of Contention so he can be put on the 3:10 train to Yuma Prison. Few will volunteer for the job, as they know that Wade's ruthless gang will follow them, but Evans sees an opportunity to make some fast cash, and offers to go in exchange for $200. The small team of men set off, and are later joined by Evans's young son William (Logan Lerman), who has run away from home to join them. What follows is a race against time, as the group tries to get to Yuma without the clever and dangerous Wade outsmarting them. Crowe is fantastic as the smooth-talking gunman, and Bale delivers a moving performance as the weary-eyed Evans. The two men are perfect foils for each other. Wade is the infamous gunman, living the high life on the wrong side of the law, while Evans, who has struggled to lead an honest life, has only faced one hardship after another. It is a classic tale of good vs. evil, right vs. wrong, and yet, by the story's end, it becomes harder to separate the good guys from the bad. As the clock ticks down, the film builds to an emotional nail-biter of an ending, reminiscent of BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID.

Anasuya Telugu Movie Online
Anasuya (Bhoomika) reaches city to become a reporter in a private television channel. She stays with Joseph (Melkote) in the city. Right on her first day of her appointment, she gets an opportunity to act as an undercover reporter and brings to light the child labour in a minister's house. She gains a good name with her operation. By that time, the city police will be breaking their heads about a serial killer, who kills the wife (Ankitha) of an industrialist and the wife of a poultry farm owner. With the sting operation of Anasuya, the child labourer, Lakshmi, loses her job and nobody looks after her. Learning this, Anasuya brings Lakshmi with her and treats her with sisterly affection and turns her best friend. The police find something special in the serial murders. The killer after killing a person takes away one body part from that victim. One day, Anasuya finds the killer at her house, while killing Joseph, from whom he takes away his heart. Anasuya, while watching the footage of a film in her television channel notices that person and informs Task Force police officer Anand (Abbas) about it. The police identifies him as Rangadu and corner him, but he pretends as a physically challenged and police leave him. But Anasuya proves that he is not disabled. When the police again corner him, he kills two of the police personnel. He also tries to kill Anasuya later, but in a bid to escape from him, Anasuya stabs another person. After a few turn of events, police again trap him but he escapes in a miraculous way and make the police believe that he is dead. Again, Anasuya finds him. But, by that time, the private channel management decides to dismiss Anasuya as she is bringing disrepute to the channel. Anasuya then decides to resolve the mystery on her own and gathers all the information about the serial killer and whom he has killed. Incidentally, she finds all the organs he took away were donated by one individual called Pooja (Nikhita). She starts investigation at her village and surprises that the killer is none other than a medical college professor who loved a girl madly. He turns a psycho after she refuses his love and kills her. As she is admitted to a hospital and is declared brain dead, his body parts were removed from her as she already donated her organs. The professor, takes away the body and wants to reinstate the organs which she donated by killing those people. He was able to gather all the organs and the last organ is an eye which is arranged to Lakshmi. Learning this, Anasuya somehow finds the place where he is staying and rescues Lakshmi by killing him there.
PLUS: The perfect screenplay, ability in direction, fantastic background score, excellent performance by Bhoomika. All these are the plus points of the film. Director Ravibabu showed his shrewdness in directing the film and the audiences can't find even a single scene which is absurd or unnecessary in the first half. However, with most of the story wrapped up in the first half, there is nothing much to explain in the second half. However, he tried to manage the part with lot of brain-game involving the heroine. Screenplay scripted by Paruchuri Brothers is another plus point of the movie. The best part of the film is the music by Sekhar Chandra, son of popular cinematographer Hari Anumolu. He gave a fantastic re-recording all through the film and the sound recording and DTS mixing by Madhusudhan Reddy needs kudos as the music elevated the mood in the film
MINUS: In the last 40 minutes before the climax, the audience feel bored for about 20-25 minutes, as the scenes appeared a bit dragged. However, there is no other choice but run the film like that to maintain the tempo. Another minus point is that the director should not have revealed the suspense before the interval bang. Revealing the killer itself was at a wrong timing and the breaking of suspense about his death is another wrong step. This is the feeling of the fellow audience but that revelation itself gained interest among them technically. Limiting the hero's role is another draw back, as the entire story revolves around the heroine.
Remarks: As is said right from the beginning, it is a different from routine flicks and really different thriller. The director has moulded the story based on a theme 'Bhava Sthirani Jananaanthara Sahrudaani…' (which means those who love with each other will take birth for several times and they continue to be lovers). It is a typical psycho-thriller. It can be watched once. As it is a suspense thriller, the makers could not expect repeat audience, which may prove a draw back to certain extent.
