Meipporul movie reviews

Meipporul Tamil movie has been very well appreciated by local audience here at San Jose. Every one who saw the movie were very impressed and spell bound at the suspense. It is a brilliant movie made by Silicon Valley Professionals unlike the usual NRI movies that talk about immigration issues. The story is excellent with an awesome screenplay. Not a single audience have been able to guess the climax so far.

This movie has been certified a "U". It means the censor board for Tamil movies has certified it as appropriate for all ages including children. This is because it has no obscenity or violence like the vast majority of Tamil movies these days. This definitely is targeting the elite audience who can enjoy brilliant movies.

Diversity of races is one other area that the film makers concentrated on and hence there are folks from all races like Caucasians, Asians, Hispanics, African Americans, etc. The camera work and background scores are done in Hollywood style. This is a new trend to Tamil movies especially since almost all Tamil movies never use aerial or other great camera angles.

If you would like to post a review of the movie, you can use this Meipporul blog/review page in the movie's website.

Time has come to change the Tamil audience and take them away from the dumb movies!!!

Great Super Bowl and Obama's support

After being through the holidays and getting back to busy schedules, a Super Bowl was much needed to bring that cheering spirit and activity. The Super Bowl game today was very interesting with the Pittsburg Steelers leading until the half and then the Arizona Cardinals leading until very few minutes to the end. Well, that's when Cardinals Quarterback Kent Warner just could not act spontaneously and lost the ball to Steelers. Steelers had their final touchdown points in the last minute and won the game. It was truly nail biting in the last few minutes that all of us watching stood up going closer to the TV.

I was always cheering Steelers knowing they always are a better team. Before the game, I heard about this story of Kent Warner (Arizona Cardinals) being a very kind person who proposed to a divorced woman with two children including a kid with Down syndrome. There was also the fact that Cardinals had not won in 60+ yrs. I was like "So what! At least they came up to the super bowl. They are going to lose badly." As the game went on, I felt the game was terribly officiated in that the referees were throwing penalties against Cardinals like they want to break the record for the most penalties in a game. There's still some debate about not reviewing one of the acts that went in Steelers favor.

In what seems like opinionated actions from the referees, I wonder how much it had to do with Obama's open comments supporting Steelers. Yea, I am a big supporter of Obama. But I don't think he should have gone public with the statements of support for Steelers and that too just because Steelers donated to his campaign. That's not fair!!!
