Grudgingly Grudgeful

I haven't seen the first volume of this movie but I had heard some scary reviews of it. So, thinking that since first volume was so bone-chilling, the second volume is ought to be further bone-chilling, goose-bumping and hair-rising experience. As I haven't seen any good horror movie recently, I went to see Grudge 2. But what I found out in the whole movie was a pale blue face with a big eye and overgrown hairs popping out from anywhere and dragging everybody with itself. This, I didn't find scary at all.

The story line was same as the first volume where-in anybody who visits a haunted house located in Tokyo, gets a grudge on himself or herself. Whereas the first movie concenterated on the people in and around that house, in the second one The Grudge has travelled international. There was no story line in the whole movie but everybody who is anybody gets in contact with this Grudge thing and eventually dies. The thing pulls the person with her into unknown and can come out of anywhere even within your clothes. I couldn't help myself laughing during some of the sequences.

All-in-all the movie was disappointed. However, I have come to know that some people really got scared watching this movie. Good for them, I guess. But I'm sure that the producer is already thinking of making a Grudge 3 with Grudge spreading over the whole world. What a pathetic movie will that be!!!

Movies this Weekend

Watching movies over the weekend is my favorite timepass. Starting from today I'll be posting my personal reviews for the movies that I had watched preceeding weekend.

Die Hard 4.0

This was one action-packed movie. Being a long-time Die Hard fan, I was exactly looking for the same. John McLain (played by Bruce Willis) came back with a bang with his usual luck of getting into middle of trouble, unknowingly. First time it was a corporate building hijack, then an airport hijack, afterwards a bomb threat across city and this time it was a country-wide cyber scare. And as everytime, he clashed with the bad guys full-on and presented the audience with some larger than life stunts on air and ground alike. After a long time I have seen a pure action movie and it just made my adrenalin rushing from head to toe. Its a must watch movie if you are a fan of mindless, impossible and whooping stunts. I hope they are planning another Die Hard sequel soon. Admit it, it is the year of Hollywood sequels.

Apne

The other movie that I saw was Apne. I had doubts about this movie before its release since the last movie by the same director Anil Sharma was a total bogus. So I waited for its review. Reading and listening some good remarks, I went for it on Saturday. The verdict - a one-time must-watch movie. Since this year, many movies have been large disappointments, this was one breather. The Deol Trio was amazing on the screen and the Baap - Dharmendra Bhaji totall overshadow the performances of anybody else. Fitted with some well-shot Boxing Fight sequences along with family emotions, it was a total entertainer. Sunny and Bobby looked brilliant in boxing shorts with their physique of a pure Punjabi Jatt. The music was a backlog, though, but thankfully movie was not full of irrelevant songs. So I was saved by continuous torutre by Himesh Reshamiyya. All-in-all, a comeback film for all the Deols.
