Unnaipol Oruvan (2009)
One Of The Best Tamil Films Ever Made
Amazing acting for starters. For once I think they've reached almost international standards, the tension was awesome, there weren't any songs (the usual in Tamil movies) which was a pleasant surprise. Amazing acting again and the English when used (esp by Kamal) sounded like English for a change. India was portrayed well for a change as well, no rogues at every corner, well-dressed and neat police officers (and yes they were the good guys for a change). The places were clean, the shots were realistic and it was a good movie even in International standards. Even the Tamil was well spoken. I would recommend this to those who are learning Tamil, entertaining and good language used and as an example to future Tamil Film Makers. Make films like these and you'll attract the young, professional (non rowdy) crowd.
P.S. Kamal should consider starring in some Hollywood Blockbusters! Awesome Actor, the best the Tamil Film Industry has had by far. I would have given it a 7 had it been an English movie though. 8 Stars and well deserved (it being a tamil movie and because it definitely took a lot of breaking out of the box).
The Visual Bible: The Gospel of John (2003)
The Best Movie Ever Made!
Without doubt this is to date the best movie ever made. It's true to the actual gospel (sadly though the good news version of the gospel), the acting's phenomenal and not overly spiritual or out of this world. Natural reactions, realistic setting and a "more than average" accuracy in terms of the portrayal of Characters. The best, most moving film I have ever seen. The Passion of the Christ is complete crap in comparison. The DVD version even allows you to go through chapters of the gospel, so one can read a chapter and watch the same chapter on screen every day. A fun- filled way to take in the wonderful book of John. I would recommend it to young and all, simple and intellectual. Great gift, awesome soul-winning tool and a masterpiece of a production. A must watch!
