The Hurt Locker

Directed by : KATHRYN BIGELOW
Cinematographer :BARRY ACKROYD



A FANTASTIC MOVIE. IT MAKES YOU SIT AT THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT FROM START TO END. This film about a Bomb Specialist who defuses Bombs in the American occupied Iraq is so well taken. Shot with multi cameras and mostly handheld, with visceral cuttings , the audience gets fully absorbed to the movie.used multiple cameras to capture multiple perspectives, saying, "That's how we experience reality, by looking at the microcosm and the macrocosm simultaneously. The eye sees differently than the lens, but with multiple focal lengths and a muscular editorial style, the lens can give you that microcosm/macrocosm perspective, and that contributes to the feeling of total immersion." Its also emotionally Well packed. I STRONGLY recommend this movie to all my dear FILM LOVERS. A MUST MUST SEE Film . Cheers !!

Unnai Pol Oruvan & Eenadu(Telungu version ),remake of the film "a Wednesday" ,is a good film. It is a relevant movie made in unique format ( Red One Camera).
‘Unnai Pol Oruvan’ is a story that revolves around a calamitous day where the entire city is shook with a single call from that starts off the thriller drama. A stranger (Kamal) over the top of under-construction building’s terrace makes a call to city commissioner (Mohan Lal) stating that he has planted bombs at various parts of the city.
Now, it’s up to city commissioner for settling down the backbreaking task. Well, the stranger wants to release 4 most wanted terrorists held as prisoners by the government or else he would blast the entire city.
Since, it’s too difficult to go around the city and detonate the bombs, the police department has to go flexible over the stranger’s offer.
But when the terrorists are released, there’s something more shocking for the cops and as well the audiences
I loved the IIT guy who come toaid the police in decoding the strangers' calls .
A MOVIE that makes you happy.
