Pizza  - Movie review - is it really worth watching?


Pizza - "a movie, that makes you spellbound at the end"

Genre: Horror, Thriller

Language: Tamil





Can we watch it?

You gottobe kidding.. grab the ticket in the nearest theater now itself if you haven't watched it so far. Such a wonderful and thrilling experience.

It is a crime to reveal any movie plot and if I reveal the plot of Pizza movie, then the crime rate is doubled.But if you want to know about the movie, all I can say is the story of Pizza may be simple, but itz the technical team and cast of the movie makes this movie a must watch. Thanks to the 7.1 Sound system's first movie released in Tamil, the sound effect is the Ghost that threatens you, provided you choose the best theater.

Can I download and watch this movie?

If you think you can save money by downloading this movie, you are really missing a wonderful experience of watching this movie in theater

The Jackal - Review : Worth watching?

IMDB Rating: 6.1/10





The Jackal -"a so called, thriller movie, with usual plot and less twists"  


Genre: Thriller

Can we watch it?

    You can watch this movie, without any hoping it is a thriller. Usual plots carried out throughout, in an usual way. WOW factor will be missed.A couple of scenes get nearly closed to the thrilling genre, but on the whole, you can watch this for entertainment.



This movie is a "Cat and Mouse chase", between " good vs bad". This isn't either boring or too good.

Rating: 6/10 .

White Hunter Black Heart - Review : Worth watching?

White Hunter Black Heart - Review : Worth watching?

IMDB Rating: 6.6/10





White Hunter Black Heart -"the movie name is the film's theme indeed, which reflects Clint Eastwood's Character, in the movie"

Genre: Drama


Can we watch it?

i) If you doesn't like slow or dramatic movie, please give it a miss
ii) If you want to smell the essence of Africa, give a go for this movie

This is a movie about a movie making in Africa. Clint Eastwood plays the character of the director of the movie, who leaves for Africa to shoot his movie, with a young Script writer. This is based on a novel, written by Peter Viertel , who actually worked in scripting The African Queen, and this is more or less his own experience with the director John Huston, while shooting the African Queen.

In simple. BHWH is about a  person's self interest (selfish) rather than finishing the movie for his producer.

Rating: 6/10 .
