Cabin Fever

Oct 31- It's Halloween! Pedophiles rejoice...just kidding. There's nothing special about Halloween in Malaysia normally, i mean you do have the parties and stuff... and more the chances to get laid with Booberella, but none exciting.

Oct 22- Just days after Mr.Rooney admitted that he would  not sign a new contract extension with United... i saw this.

Oct 17- Watched the first episode of Iron Man in anime, and it isn't THAT bad. I am not a fan of American superheroes plying their trade in Japan, but i'll give this one a pass.

Oct 4- Before i begin my review on Endhiran, let me first state the never ending progress or what in my view as the rape of Puchong. The last time i came back here was about four months ago, and to be honest it looks like it's overpopulated. Everything feels rushed, not as it used to be many years ago.
Back to the main issue, went to watch it at State Cineplex PJ on Saturday, was friggin difficult to get them on the first day, and to get them while i'm still at Chuping is ridiculous really.
Endhiran is Tamil cinema's first attempt in the genre of science fiction, if not Indian cinema. When in the subject of science fiction, my personal expectation is there has to be depth in plot. Endhiran has failed in that aspect, again let me state clearly it's my PERSONAL view. The plot is one of the most clichéd ones, of what happens if advancements in technology is misused. I am not claiming it's a bad film, just thought that since it's Shankar's dream project, one would expect a killer story rather than the usual elements in his films(elaborate scenes and sets in songs and many more stuff we already knew about.)
The reason i am stating Endhiran is not a bad film is because of two reasons only. The first reason is the musical masterstroke of A.R Rahman. I actually expected more from the songs, but the background score was one of the best I've heard in any films...especially at the final few scenes. It was eargasm.
Reason number two is quite obvious, it's the evergreen performance from the only Superstar Rajinikanth. He is the Superstar for a reason, and he showed sensational acting prowess in Endhiran.There's been rumours of SRK and Kamal Haasan to play the lead role, but if any of those two did they would fail in comparison  to Rajini's version.
I just can't believe after all these years of success in his films, he still has that fire raging in his belly. Right from the start until the end, he captivates and commands the entire film, upstaging everyone, including Aishwarya Rai who in my view was like a peacock who fluttered a little. He was Vassegaran the professor, the creator of Chitti the android, also played by Rajini. Every character has it's own persona, and the one which stunned me was the Chitti 2.0 (chuckles). The 2.0 is the more evolved, actually it's just configured a little from that one guy, oh yeah, he was the villain. He was soon forgotten just because Chitti 2.0 IS the villain. And it's not exaggeration when i say that Chitti is one of the best villain characters in Tamil cinema,such was the excellence in the performance.
In conclusion, this film should have been named Rajinikanth, because that's what it should be called from a unforgettable performance. Set aside the elaborate scenes, CGI, your fickle comparisons with Hollywood films and the foxy Aishwarya because this is The Rajini Show.
