Celda 211(Spanish)





Cell 211 ( Celda 211 ) is a film in spanish with english subtitles. My love for spanish cinema grows two-fold after watching yet another riveting and realistic piece of cinema. It adds to their lineage of evoking emotions at improbable situations. This story is about Juan, a joinee engineer placed in the central prison, caught unguard in a riot.

The riot is provoked by Malamadre,a criminal sentenced for life but with the heart of a leader, a rebel.The twist is Juan posing as an inmate and gaining trust amidst chaos,communicating covertly helping negotiations and ultimately emphathising with the sadness inflicted upon inmates in form of solitary confinement, owing to his personal crisis.
With lesser known faces but just the right performances, a few loop holes in the plot and taut direction, its a movie worth watching - bravo.
A few graphic scenes call for the 18 rating. Hovewer, its palpable by the 15 sorts too.

'Delhi belly': Scatalogical humor with incessant abuse in everyday context could have been the right ingrediants for a disaster. But an intelligent non-pretencious script (Akshat Verma) which keeps the viewers guessing is translated 'Guy Ritchie style' by director Abhinay Deo. The acting trio have made full justice to their characters especially Kunaal Roy Kapur who is a notch par with his gruntling stomach - the script demanded him to gain the extra chub which he shows off, even his crack.No wonder Aamir Khan laughed his ass of while reading this script and took the risk of shedding the 'family orientated' image of his production company.

The Cabin the Woods (2012) The Cabin in the Woods: Joss Whedon boasts of originality as the creator of characters and story for Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Toy Story. The originality continues with 2012 as the big year for him with the release of 'The Cabin in the woods' as writer and 'The Avengers' as writer/director. As cliché as the title 'The Cabin in the woods' may sound, so innovative is its scripting. The 'whore', the 'athlete', the 'joker', the 'intellectual' and the 'virgin' intertwine in the 'Tales from the Crypt’; however, it’s not the 'Tales from the Crypt' at all. The comic sense is impeccable and succeeds Joss's legacy. The viewer would pre-empt it to be 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre but somehow it supersedes '28 Weeks Later' or 'Halloween' with subtle ode to the yesteryears. Rave reviews are out after first screening of Avenger for Joss, documentarian of Comic-C...
