Happy Birthday Mr.Nolan



Christopher Nolan celebrates his 42nd birthday today! Happy Birthday Mr.Nolan !

With 8 movies in the span of 14 years,all of them critically praised,Nolan is definitely a modern genius and a mastermind.He single handedly brought back a franchise from the dead and set it up as a standard for all other superhero movies.Inception ,one of the most mind bending and creative movie of recent times showed how deep Nolan's process of thought goes into.His movies will leave you mesmerized.

He makes movies as he sees them and doesnt bend to others will.Even though 3D was the current trend and an easy way for the creators to make big bucks,he stayed away from 3D,stating that he would use them only if it enhanced the story of the movie.
Nolan's movies are action packed and visually breathtaking ,most directors would use extensive CGI to make such scenes.But not him.He goes out of his ways trying to recreate scenes without the help of CGI,biggest example:the rotating hallway from Inception.Instead of exploiting the usage of CGI he uses it in the right quantity ,delivering the maximum pleasure.

His movies are grounded and stick to the realms of reality.And its a wonder how he made movies such as Inception & The Dark Knight Trilogy into something that the audience can relate to.Even though all his movies have an intense atmosphere around them ,at the core its all about emotions and the psychology of the characters.

Another talent of Nolan is his remarkable skill to juggle multiple timelines and stories and form a coherent story without losing his viewers attention.

Hats off to you Mr.Nolan,and thank you for giving us such entertaining ,as well as thought provoking movies.

TDKR crushes new releases



TDKR, as expected ,crushed the new releases.The only competition that drained TDKR was the Olympics.

#1-TDKR raked in $64million in its 2nd week.This was a steep decline from its $164million first wwek collection,a fall of 60%.For more details on TDKR's collection check out - TDKR 2nd week

#2-Ice Age 4 was least bothered with the new releases as it stuck to its 2nd spot in its 3rd week.It made $13million to bring its domestic total to $114million.But its main business came from overseas,it made $511million.Ice Age 4 has become the top grossing animated movie of the year making $626million and beating Madagascar 3 ($501million).

#3-The Watch ,one of the new releases couldnt attract the crowds and turned out to be a big dissappoint both critically as well as financially.The movie made only $13million and was rated 14% at Rottentomatoes.

#4-Step Up 4 ,the other new release also tanked on release making just 11.8million.The 4th part of the Step Up series too wasnt well received at the hands of the critics.It got a negative rating of 35%.

#5-Ted fell to the 5th spot making just $7.3million.But this isnt much of a bad news, since Ted has been a big hit since Day 1 of its release.The movie has made $233million worldwide and has been the suprise hit of the year.

Diary Of a Wimpy Kid 3 & Total Recall are the new releases this week.Will TDKR hold strong in week #3 or will the new releases topple the Knight?

TDKR Day 10 (2nd Week collection)





Even though it fell steeply ,TDKR still made a strong $64 million in its second week.The start of the Olympics was said to be a factor in TDKR's decline.
So far TDKR has made $289 million in its domestic collection ,and thus entering the Top 50 domestic grossing movies list.Also due to strong foreign collections of $248 million ,TDKR also crossed the $500million milestone.

Not much changes in both Rottentomatoes & IMDB as TDKR stands firm at 87% (229+/35-) and 9.1(#10 in Top 250) respectively.

TDKR is the 3rd fastest movie to make $250million domestically (9days).It is outshone only by Dark Knight (8days) and Avengers (6days).
As of now TDKR is the 2nd most grossing movies (domestic & worldwide) in the Batman series .TDK stands first with $533m & $1b.

Anger Management [1x06]


Anger Management [1x06] Charlie Dates Kate's Patient
TV com Rating- -
RJG Rating- 6.5

Charlie goes on a date with one of Kate's patients,meanwhile he teaches his clients the buddy system.

This episode was marginally better than previous ones ,but still not very funny.The cast isnt good enough to carry the show.The humour is dry and the show needs a complete makeover if it wants to make the audience care about this show in the future.
