Movies

Magadheera (2010) Enjoyed a movie geek night with my friend Jim, brainless spectacle and laconic abortive attempts at conversation. You ought to know by now that every Indian movie is a musical comedy romance - this is also an epic historical action spectacle, allegedly the most expensive film in Indian movie history. Three lives - boy, girl, and angry rival - are bound together until they complete the actions of their previous life 400 years earlier. Bounces back and forth between present and past, and includes something excessive and startling every few minutes. Like being beaten with a pillow full of entertainment for 2 hours and 45 minutes. You don't want any more afterward. I didn't like this as much as Endhiran the Robot, but it had lots of moments. Includes a quicksand pit. 6/10

Look - a jeep about to crash into a helicopter!
