Pompeii

I am a Paul W S Anderson fan. I have loved the Resident Evil series and I found his treatment of Alexander Dumas’ Three Musketeers to be extremely creative.  But without his tried and test good luck charm (read Mila Jovovich) he seems to be less than average.  Pompeii is like that firecracker that is huge in size ($100 Million worth) but refuses to explode for a while.  When it finally does, you feel deprived.

The Legend of Hercules

Lauri Mauritz Harjola is better known as Renny Harlin.  Why do we know Renny Harlin? It is because he gave us movies like Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger and Long Kiss Goodnight.  Were any of them stunning award winning movies? Not at all.  But they were really solid entertainment and very good for their times.  I would not find it difficult to watch any of these movies once again.

Mahabharat (Animation) (2013) (Hindi)

The trailer starts with the predictable, “Yada Yada hi Dharmasya….” (for translation, visit - http://www.asitis.com/4/7.html).  That and the really bad quality of animation visible on the trailers prepared me for pretty much the worst.  The fact ironically remains that India will be the largest exporter of animation in the world (citation needed) but will not spend money in making a quality animation movie.
