Sudarshan's Movie & TV Reviews

It looks like everyone has already watched this movie, and I am probably late in my review :P, but anyways. ( NO SPOILERS) Who is the hero? Who is the villain? Who is the good guy, and who is the bad guy? Can you say for sure?  - This is a very interesting concept which was very nicely brought out in this movie. I was eager to see how well they would explore this concept, with these 2 versatile actors, Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi. And who would have thought I was in for an engaging, thrilling ride overall! I would like to start by appreciating the performance of Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathy. For Madhavan, a guy who has come a long way from Anbe Sivam to Yaavarum Nalam to Irudhi Suttru and now this, and Vijay Sethupathi, from Soodhu Kavvum to Naanum Rowdy Thaan to a fearful gangster role who provides  occasional comic relief, shows how far both these actors have come. Madhavan plays a hard, no-nonsense cop, who sees black and white and nothing between, and Vijay Sethup...

Those who have read my "Introduction to my Blog " post, would know that I never even intended to review Tamil serials, as most of them were same old "maamiyar-marumagal" problems, or romantic relationship dramas extended over 2000000 episodes, with the same thing repeated again and again. I stopped watching Tamil serials for good! And then I stumbled across this Tamil web-series, thanks to a good friend of mine. I would like to straight away go ahead and appreciate Mr. Balaji Mohan and the team for taking this initiative to start a funny, good and heartwarming season-wise split web-series, IN TAMIL! Wow. Who would have thought. It takes real courage to bring out something new, to venture into a risky area, in an industry where no one wants to try that, and where everyone wants to go the 2000000000 episodes route! So let me start with my review ( NO SPOILERS, so chill! :P): The first 4-5 episodes introduced these 4 couples, and the different situations they a...

Guess what? This review has NO SPOILERS. Did you read that!? NO SPOILERS. So everyone can read without any problems! Yayyy! :) Spiderman Homecoming is Marvel's (Disney) attempt at the character of "Spiderman", that has already been done twice so far. It shows the events in Peter Parker's life after the events in Captain America : Civil War (so yeah you have to watch that before this), on how he manages his school life and being the "friendly neighbourhood Spiderman". Thankfully, it stands out as a different Spiderman movie, and not the same old "With great power comes great responsibility" and Uncle Ben getting shot and stuff. I feel the movie encapsulated the character of Spiderman quite well. It showed you that after all, Spider"man" was just a kid in a suit. He kept waiting for the call from the Avengers, but he was just a kid with no experience! He needed to prove he was worthy of an Avenger! He had to show that he was something...

Let me put a few things out there right away: I am going to review this show only from the perspective of it being a "TV show", and as much as possible try not to link it to or relate to actual stuff happening in the real world. The reason simply being, my school was not like this high school. I haven't been in such a "high school" environment. I can safely also say that thankfully I do not have any friends who have or are going through such stages.! So talking about actual stuff that suicidal people in the real world go through, is not possible by me. Just wanted to put that disclaimer out. Moving on to the review, (SPOILERS below): The show is about Hannah Baker, who she is, why she committed suicide, what drove her into doing it. She records 13 tapes, narrating the 13 reasons why she killed herself.  The show portrayed the sad, gloomy environment post Hannah's suicide in the high school, brilliantly. It showed how interactions among students have sev...

(SPOILERS for Flash Season 1-3. Also, minor spoiler from Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 in the 1st paragraph below. Read at your own will.) The Flash. What an amazing, fun and joyful show it was in Season 1 and 2. Season 1 was entertaining and awesome as hell, with the villain-of-the-week stories along with an awesome season-long arch villain for the Flash - Harrison Wells / Reverse Flash(whose character was thankfully explored in much depth in Legends of Tomorrow Season 2). The show was a fresh one, that launched off of Arrow. It slowly introduced us to this world of meta-humans, time travel, paradoxes, speedsters, Speed Force and the like. It was very good! Season 2 went up a notch, introduced to us concepts like multi-verses, dopplegangers, a fearful villain Zoom, who became really menacing at some points, then was just a normal one. (i.e there were some ups and downs with what they did with him) . Season 2 was also overall a very good season, with much better and improved VFX...
