Desperate to cleanse our body soul of the foul odor left behind by our watching of that Orgy of Stupidity Enthiran last night, we went to see The Social Network today.

Voila, like Andy Dufresne in Shawshank Redemption who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side, The Social Network restored the sanity and joie de vivre in our life.

Unless you are a blithering idiot, you know that The Social Network is based on the early days of Facebook and its driven founder Mark Zuckerberg.

If Mark Zuckerberg’s detractors were looking for a vehicle to make him look like a slimy, thieving scumbag they couldn’t have found a better one than the brilliant The Social Network.

Directed with great elan by David Fincher based on a screenplay by Andrew Sorokin and with Jesse Eisenberg superbly playing Mark Zuckerberg, The Social Network is a riveting movie on the early days of what is unarguably the most popular online social network in the world – Facebook.

Valued at $32 billion today, the origins of Facebook, like that of other great successful business ventures, are rooted in ruthlessness and not-so-subtle hints of crime.

And that’s what the movie brings out with solid verve.

Based on the movie and on what we’ve read in the digital media publications, Mark Zuckerberg is doubtless a ruthless, scheming, self-serving ASSHOLE with scant regard for friends, associates and acquaintances. Continue reading »

Enthiran Box Office – Unimpressive Average Gross

If Enthiran director S.Shankar had an iota of shame or self-respect, he’d place his head on the rail-road track at the Egmore station and let the Tambaram local train roll over it.

That’s the only way to ensure that incompetent dickheads like Shankar never raise their ‘head’ to unleash monstrosities like Enthiran on the hapless public ever again.

Folks, it boggles the mind that this billionaire producer Kalanidhi Moron of Sun Pictures entrusted Rs 150-crore or wateva-hundred crore to this imbecile Shankar for the movie that had the crew gallivanting to South America, North America, Asia and God knows where else.

Shows that in Tamil Nadu you can be a billionaire and still be soft in the head. ;)

Orgy of Stupidity
There are far too many problems with this piece of shit Enthiran making it a ceaseless affront to viewers.

Enthiran Movie Review Sponsored by Air-Savings.com

First, the story is not remotely engrossing. Remember, the same mis-directing bozo Shankar is also the irresponsible fella behind the story and screenplay.

Second, there’s little chemistry between the lead stars Rajnikanth and Aishwarya Rai, far less in fact than between Rajnikanth and Shriya Saran in Sivaji.

Third, neither Rajnikanth nor Aishwarya Rai, particularly the latter, deliver the acting goods.

Then, there’s the gratuitous, self-defecating comedy angle featuring Santhanam and Karunas. To earn their pay check, the duo agree to get kicked and slippered by the robot and teach it trash-talk.

All drivel all the time, if you ask us.

Finally, the music and picturization are both mediocre despite outings to locales such as Machu Picchu and provide little cheer.

Tis’ no exaggeration to say that a troupe of monkeys would provide better entertainment than the entire Enthiran menagerie.

Asinine, Half-Baked Story
The story, presumably well known by now, is simplistic and amateurish. Scientist Vaseegaran (a bearded, bespectacled Rajnikanth) creates a robot Chitti, which weirdly enough resembles him. Although ostensibly meant for the Indian Army, the robot in real life is busy rescuing naked girls from burning buildings, helping a medical student Sana (Aishwarya Rai) cheat in her exams, cooking omelets and protecting pretty girls in local trains from goons.

Since, Chitti, the robot, is found socially inadequate (it’s not smart enough to put a cloth on a nude, bathing girl before rescuing her from a horrific fire), Vaseegaran endows it with human emotions, which makes a bad situation worse. You see, the robot too falls in love with the pretty belle, a situation exploited by a rival scientist Bora (Danny Denzongpa of Bollywood), who is itching to make money by peddling the robot to terrorists. Tragically for the paying audience, each of the various angles (romance, the scientific, criminal, comic et al) is half-baked and comes across as bizarrely silly.

If Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan really slammed the script as half-baked (when Shankar approached him to play the lead role), he’s one smart dude. Really! Continue reading »

Enthiran Review – Orgy of Stupidity

Folks, it’s 2:06 AM on the U.S. East Coast and we’ve just returned home.

Driving back in the pouring, torrential rain in pitch dark, hard as it was, was still a cakewalk compared to the torment of sitting through the second half of Enthiran.

Too many issues – Sophomoric story, Aishwarya Rai’s horrid acting, lack of chemistry between Aishwarya and the hero Rajnikanth, poor music, lousy picturization of songs et al.

The movie overall is Total Garbage.

Don’t waste your money on Enthiran. It just ain’t worth it.

We’ll try and have the full review soon.
