fritz Says -> Ratatuoille a must watch movie for a disney fan
Ratatuoille is a must watch after a very very long time I saw a movie which had the classic disney stamp all over it for some reason I never get that disney feeling of giving the animated characters a life as humans when it is one of the animated movies with pixar written all over it.
But Ratatuoille is a must watch and is definitely part of my classic movie collections right there with lion king and little mermaid.
I did watch a lot of movies recently but no time to write reviews as am a bit busy with work this past few weeks the only reason i am writing this post is as a reminder to me when I do start collecting my favorite movies (that is when I have the time and money to do so).

fritz Says -> Day 3 of vacation my last day in pune for this trip
The day started very late around 11 am in the morning I guess all of us just love to lazy around and sleep in late on Sundays. so we had a brunch at mocha few things I learnt at mocha
- How much I love Arabic Music
- I am not a early morning first thing I will eat is whipped cream person (I threw up after I had some cream) but later I did manage to finish the rest of the shake though
- I like to just sit and lazy around and talk to friends once in a while
So after the Tobelorone shake and a honey glazed chicken sandwich we headed back to the abhimanyu’s place to collect the movie tickets which abhimanyu’s bro saurabh had collected from a friend who had booked the tickets and saurabh dropped this tickets at home for us to collect and head for the movie. We just lazied around for some time after that we went to inox pune for the movie read all about it here after the movie we headed to another mall there I tried my hand at a playstation game and instantly realized what a miserable life I am living with no true love so now have to get myself a PS3 asap hahahaha.
After some fun with PS3 and ogling at some of the Sony Bavaria TV sets there We headed out of the mall and then I went and got some KFC for myself for the return trip and dinner.After getting the KFC said good bye to the guys caught a rickshaw and came to the place where I was suppose to catch my bus there I bumped into an old college acquaintance anne marie she was there to see off her mom and sis who were in the same bus on my journey back to goa. At this point it was drizzling slightly and I got a bit wet while getting into the bus.
Well this is how my three day vacation ended with mixed feelings and was glad was heading back to goa and work.

fritz Says -> Fantastic Four- Rise of the Silver Surfer
Caught the movie at Inox multiplex in pune on a Sunday afternoon on 17th June 2007 the multiplex is good and I had crazy corn well it was same as goa but only 5 Rs less the taste was similar but the best corn I had in pune was at this place called CornWorld on FC Road it is a shop right near the end on the FC Road.
Well in one line I can sum up my experience at this movie "Good superhero movie with a romantic plot".
Plus points of the movie(in my opinion)
+good story
+some very good jokes
+good mix of romance and action (not a boring mix like Superman Returns)
+keeps you engaged during the movie
+good chemistry between human torch and thing (hahahaha)Negative points of the movie(in my opinion)
-a bit less action for a superhero movie
-the ending could have been crafted welloverall I would say a good movie and recommend it to my friends

fritz Says -> Ocean’s Thirteen
Well in one line I can sum up my experience with this movie "Movie for the intellectuals" It was a fun movie overall very entertaining movie.
Plus points of the movie(in my opinion)
+good story
+some very good one liners and jokes
+the concept of VUP is totally funny (hahahaha)
+keeps you engaged during the movie (you have to pay attention to everything for this kinda movie)Negative points of the movie(in my opinion)
-a bit too lengthy
-in the story there are no much surprises everything can be predictedoverall a good movie and enjoyed it with friends.
now looking forward to Fantastic Four and Die Hard 4 (yeah baby john the pill popping foul mouthing hell raising cop is back and from the trailers I caught it looks like this time his daughter is in trouble).
Fantastic Four trailers are awesome and there are two villains silver surfer and Dr Doom can’t wait for the movie most probably will catch the movie in pune but like sarvesh said wont be possible unless we book the tickets way in advance hmmm well if not in pune then will come back and watch the movie in Goa.

fritz Says -> POC 3- At World’s End
Well in one line I can sum up my experience with this movie "not upto my expectations" but there were some good points also other then Keira (sighhh wat a sight Keira yielding a sword in a pirates outfit sighhh) and this is one movie that I was anxious to see for so long but because of work could not go for earlier on the release day first day first show itself
Plus points of the movie(in my opinion)
+occasional laugh here and there and nice one liners
+Keira is good in the movie and so is the monkey (am sure he will be for the oscars
this year best actor category) no all have acted well
+the soundtrack is good (as it is for every disney movie)Negative points of the movie(in my opinion)
-there are too many stories makes it a bit complicated the storyline should have been better
-the length of the movie is too long it is i think because of too many storylines and in the middle it kinda gets boring (whom am I kidding I was so glad that the intermission came along as I could get some crazy corn and watch the ad monitors)
-the main character in POC is Elizabeth but the main attraction is Captain Jack Sparrow and in this installment of POC he comes in a good 40 mins after the movie startWell overall I would say ok movie not worth watching twice (maybe if you have a POC marathon at a weekend then this is worth watching) but I was overall disappointed and the movie didn’t live upto my expectations even with Keira and sword fights the movie was not good enough to keep me entertained and all the shouting by a chick in the row in front of me with all the yucks and sc (when Johnny Depp licks what he thinks is the rock but turns out to be a crab, and when they show the heart of Davvy Jones)
also there was a father daughter duo sitting next too me in the theater the girl was telling the dad something about the movie and the dad was telling something about the movie it was nice since the girl knew about the movie and the dad didn’t he said he thought Johnny Depp’s dad (Keith Richards in the movie) is his brother and he told her that and the girl agreed I didn’t want to correct him and break his daughters notion of my daddy smartest. Also he was very uncomfortable at the last scene on the beach and was trying to divert his daughters attention with some more talk to make her not see the screenAnd yes I did notice the LCD ad monitors at inox and they were repeatedly showing the zee business news coverage they got well next time i will see their ads also I guess they are still in the building up a hype for our offering phase now (who isn’t hahaha).
Well next movie I guess is Ocean’s Thirteen (I just hope that is not a disappointment too like Shrek 3 and POC 3)

fritz Says -> shrek 3 - ok movie all the way through
First of all before I write anything more this lines below are for abhimanyu ( I am doing the victory dance as I saw the movie before you hahahahahaha )
I wanted to message you after I got the tickets but that would have been like stabbing you right in the heart and I am not that cruel are you kidding me I am cruel but for some reason I thought that if I did that you would stab me a million times more in the future when you see all the movies before me in pune and message me about those hahahahaha .Saw the movie yesterday was fortunate enough to catch the movie before its big india release because of a special screening of the movie at inox goa.
I hope they have a special screening of pirate’s of the caribbean before its release too. Well I had company for the movie my bro and sarvesh (who had come down to goa for a interview hope he gets the job and moves down to goa then i will have more friends to hang out with).Plus points of the movie(in my opinion)
+get to see your favorite fairy tales character all in one movie and a fun outing and u get to see donkey and puss in boots again with their natural charm
+well the graphics are good for this but somehow they dont blow your mind away
+the soundtrack is good
+lots of good laughs here and there (but not a laugh riot)Negative points of the movie(in my opinion)
-dull and somewhat boring storyline
-the characters dont seem a lot of fun and the characters are showcase more as adults (somehow you get the feeling that this outing of shrek is targetted more for the adults then the kids like me)
-you dont feel like the movie is gripping enough from start to finishWell overall an ok movie but the ending is too predictable it should have been a bit more different then the way it ends also another incident took place there. The theater had a offer running for people who bought 3 or more tickets for the shrek movie on that day they were giving out shrek head bands so since I got three tickets together for the three of us attending the movie I got the headband (hurray I got a gift) but this was not a cool headband that i could wear (for my long luscious hair hahahaha) it was good for a small kid there was a small girl standing next to the ticket counter so being the cruel hearted individual that I am (yes me a cruel hearted devil to the core) took the band and gave it to the little girl and she was happy smiled and ran (she must have thought I better make a run for it before this weird uncle changes his mind hahahahahahaha).
Well considering all the people around me whom I torment day in day out I think this one deed just brought me a teeny weeny bit closer to the gates of heaven maybe what I need is a few more million good deeds like this to stand a chance hahahahahaha hey but the curses of all the people i torment have already reserved me the VIP slot in hell hahahahahahaha

fritz Says -> some movies that I caught recently
Some of the movies that I caught recently at inox goa are
- Ghost Rider- Well it was an ok movie but I was never that crazy about seeing Nicholas Cage in a super hero as i always believed he was not super hero material but the movie was ok the special effects was good and the story was also ok
- TMNT- This movie I had been waiting for quite some time but the movie was a big disappointment the story was horrible and the graphics were good but wat was lacking was good action the one that you normally associate with the Ninja Turtles
- 300- Wow this was the best movie that I have seen this year so far. why you ask? well it was something totally new info never knew anything about this aspect of greek history and the action was damn good well choreographed and for anyone who likes a good fight like me this was a good movie it had all action,humour,love,betrayal,passion etc this movie is definite one for my dvd collection (some people I know well not some people only abhimanyu hahahahhahaha have seen this movie like 6 times and all the 6 times in a theater)but overall a must watch movie for someone who likes a well made entertaining movie.
- spiderman 3 - this was another disappointment as in with so many super human creatures on screen it was still not good enough to deliver on the thrills but even the story was not that good to keep ur mind from wandering from the theater and onto your office work but overall I would say an ok movie and the black spidey suit lived up to its hype of being the coolest spidey costume ever
Some movies that I look forward to now is Pirates of the Caribbean At World’s End (which abhimanyu is promoting for so many days now with the title and india launch date along with imdb ratings as his status message in gtalk )the only reason I am excited about this is keira and pirates,sword fights ,pearls, loot, treasure,islands, old ships etc what is not too love about this movie franchise also after watching the small preview on TV yesterday and the announcement on it that Keira has what any girl in a pirate based movie wants her own sword fight (solo one that is) now this has got me so excited I cant wait to see the damn movie. Yesterday night I was just discussing with a friend how I wish I had a private jet so I could go for movie premieres to the US and come back later I guess I am not working hard enough to realise my dreams I should put in more effort now (none of my friends also have their own jets otherwise I could have borrowed so i guess I have to push them more).
The other movie I cant wait to see is shrek 3 yes yes the favorite green ogre is back with his princess this summer and boy did they rock the opening weekend I cant remember where I heard this but they said raked in 120 million in the opening weekend itself now that is a huge huge wowie I wish all the movies would have their world wide premieres on the same day as the US but I guess till that happens or till I get my private jet I have to wait and wait and wait for inox goa to get the movies to goa.
The only reason I didn’t write a full fledged review for the above movies is since I have no time this days flooded with work from next movie onwards will make it a proper full review and I think I missed a few movies also which I cant recollect which I saw recently since i cant recollect means they were not worth remembering anyways (hahahahaha).
Update: abhimanyu has seen 300 only 4 times and not 6 times as initially quoted by me sorry for the inconvenience caused by this wrong information to all my esteemed readers (nah whom am I kidding i just have like 2 readers hahahahahahahha)

fritz Says -> Dhoom 2 -> disappoints big time!
Halfway through the film you begin to think will this movie get better or worse? as it nears the end and you wont be surprised when it comes near the end the movie disappoints big time.
The biggest problem that I noticed in the script is that the hrithik is neither the hero nor the villain in the movie infact in the entire movie he is a nobody I still don

fritz Says -> Casino Royale
