I was pretty much anticipating the release of 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' especially to see how much Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint had grown since the first movie. As I watched the trailer, I had a feeling this would be better than the other two and I was right...it was better. This film had kept a more emotional feeling in the story which was pretty much lacking in the other two. The plot was densely packed with frightening sequences (I think the film should have been rated PG 13, not just PG). There were also some beautiful moments. I thought it breathtaking when Harry flew over the lake. This film managed to keep my interest put in it and an audience who hasn't read the books (like me) will understand it. I wish the previous movies had explained things a bit better to the audience.
The music was good and the special effects were realistic. I liked that bird- horse creature (I'm sorry I don't quite know or remember the name). The werewolf that was actually Professor Lupin was not all that realistic looking though. I do think however that they deserve to get Oscar nominations this time, at least for special effects. I really enjoyed the time- travel thing; the way Hermoine and Harry watched themselves doing things a few hours ago and how they saved the day- and yes, I also enjoyed that part when Harry saves himself and Sirius Black from the Dementors (where he previously thought it was his father). The suspense was well kept and the scenes were more emotional. It's amazing to see those kids grown up and they are very good actors. The film has a talented cast and I think that is a major advantage.
Overall, the movie was very good. I think I will watch it again when it comes out on DVD. And I would also recommend people to watch it things seem to get darker and scarier

I watched Troy today after a long-awaited anticipation to see it; not because I thought I would love it
but because I wanted to see how much I could hate it. As far as I can remember, the first thing that caught my attention was the music- something that was consistently good throughout the movie. The second thing was Sean Bean's familiar voice.
Overall, I thought this movie lacked consistency in story and in acting. Apart from Peter O'Toole, Eric Bana and Sean Bean, everybody else could have done with a few lessons on acting better. I was shocked to see Orlando, poor Orlando having to play such a pathetic part in the movie. It's sad to see though the guy may have acting talent, he never really gets a chance to show it. But I must admit that I was expecting better emotion from him when Hector was killed.
The movie sort of dragged in the beginning. Things were stupid. The cinematography, special effects, music, Sean, Eric and Peter O'Toole made me stay where I was. I really hated Achilles and sorry to state this I thought a much better actor could have played that part. Brad Pitt didn't seem interested and committed to what he was doing in the movie. He had this carefree attitude which seemed less Achilles type and more of a genuine feel from himself.
The story lacked punch and interest. The only emotional parts started after Patroclus was killed. Obviously after that there was the death of Hector etc. I can say that part made me cry. The filmmakers were very ambitious for this project, but sorry to say, they didn't achieve what they could have. Petersen could definitely have omitted a few scenes.
Another thing was the inconsistent dialogue. At a few points you're faced with well constructed poetry and in other parts there was anachronistic dialogue! Some lines seemed to have been taken directly from the LOTR trilogy. Even some scenes reminded me of LOTR! For instance when Hector and Paris walk out of Troy for Paris to fight Menelaus, I was reminded of Aragorn and his troops coming out of Minas Tirith to go to the Black Gate. At some points, Troy looked like Minas Tirith (though it isn't white).
The first two hours of the movie was a sort of emotionless and disgusting, but it became better when Hector was killed. I cried. It was so heartbreaking when he was dragged after death and taken to the Greeks. Achilles seemed to have no heart. If King Priam hadn't come to him that night and begged for his son's body, maybe Achilles would have let Hector lie on the sand like that. I began to hate Achilles and therefore didn't cry when he died. But that was also because Brad Pitt didn't seem as though he was dying (more like he was thinking `When does this movie end?').
The music was a plus point throughout. I think we could have done without Briseis (if that's the right spelling) and many other parts. Peter O'Toole proves to us again what a fine actor he is, Sean Bean shows his talent again after Boromir, and Eric Bana was brilliant in this movie where I first saw him act.
Overall, I give this movie 5/10. It surely could have been a lot better (and it gets the high rating primarily because of the three acting talents I have mentioned above). P.S. How do people think that Brad Pitt looks cute as Achilles (yuck!)?

Bimal Roy directs one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life in a very brilliant and poignant way. There are no elaborate sets as in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas but Roy's Devdas has in it the pain that would melt one's heart. The acting by the main characters
and not so main characters is brilliant and heavily analyzed. Dilip Kumar is not called the 'tragedy king' for no good reason. He underwent psychological assistance after playing Devdas. Suchitra Sen brings the perfect essence into Paro with her weighted words and Vyajantimala is perfectly cast as Chandramuki. Every actor/actress has the potential to bring you to tears.
I have watched Devdas 2002 and it compares in no way to this movie. I agree this movie is not in colour and is not elaborate but I think that it what makes it realistic. Roy makes you believe that what you are watching is a village and not a palace (as Bhansali depicted in his version). Calcutta is shown as it should be and Chandramukhi's kotha or clothes are not that elaborate either. (We must remember that she is no queen like Madhuri Dixit in Bhansali's version). I have also seen Oriya villages (that are very similar to Bengali ones) because I originally come from one and I can say that Roy makes the village perfect. No Zamindar in a village had sparkling houses (as in the new Devdas).
Apart from the realism in location, Roy's Devdas thrives in making the characters real. Sorry to say, Shahrukh was Shahrukh and not Devdas in the new movie whereas Dilip Kuman epitomises the real Devdas as he brings the character to life. There is no melodrama as in the new one and the actors succeed totally into delivering dialogues with deep meaning and weight. Everything is irreplaceable.
The music is brilliant. Every song seems to haunt you. The lyrics are deep and probing and perfectly suited to the story. Everything in this movie is perfect.
I can go on forever because there is so much I can say. Nothing can explain the depth in this movie; be it the dense story or the excellently portrayed and perfectly realistic emotions expressed by the actors. I get pulled into the movie whenever I see it and I always end up crying. This is one of the rarest and absolutely perfect movies I have seen. Bhansali's Devdas is in no way comparable to this movie except for the fact that it can boast stunning colour and lavish and glamorous sets. But personally, that does not appeal to me. That is not realism; it is a dream world which we should not aspire to achieve. Aesthetic elements do not make a movie great if the actors haven't acted well and the story loses realism. I would choose Roy's Devdas anytime and give it 10/10. Nothing can surpass the talent and understanding of the material by the director in Roy's Devdas. Allow me to quote what Elvis Mitchell of THE NEW YORK TIMES said for The Two Towers (obviously that film also deserved this praise)- 'Never has a film so strongly been a product of a director's respect for its source Creating a rare perfect mating between filmmaker and material.'. This also applies perfectly for Roy's Devdas. We will never be fortunate to see a movie like it if Bollywood continues to be clichéd and not adventurous.
I RECOMMEND EVERY MOVIE LOVER TO WATCH THIS MOVIE!
