    Well i will not deny it, thats true to some extent, the story is lifted many times from hollywood, for this I have a reason as well :D --- u see bollywood is like money generating machine, Indians all over the world are known as good business persons, therefore when you are making 800-900 movies per year you are left with no choice but to lifts stories from hollywood, this decrements the creativity and also results in loss of publics interest because they are already familiar with the story, therefore these kind of people who lift stories gets their prize automatically. regarding subtitles as i said Indians are good in business therefore they know their target audience, as English is a global language, whereas Hindi doesn't have that global appeal therefore bollywood movies doesn't look much into subtitles and translating (u wouldn't want to see lips trying to tell something else but titles saying a different story), your mind is capable of understanding English (even if its in a typical U.K or U.S accent) by observing lips and reading titles at the same time, provided that both the subtitles and lips are telling the same language.

    Ok, being a theater manager I feel I must add my .02 here. I am not a harry potter fan so I will let you guys discuss that one.

    Die Hard 4 was a superb action movie and a great addition to the Die Hard series. But the Transformers blew it out of the water. The transformers is by far the best action movie of the year.

    Pirates of the Caribbean, I don't even know where to begin. It was long and drawn out and really wen't no where. It may just be me but I have seen it several times and still can't keep up. Maybe someone else can explain this one to me.

    I am getting reasy to go and watch Adam Sandler's newest film, I Now Pronounce you Chuck and Larry, now so when I return I will let you guys know how it was.

    Oh and we cant forget The Simpsons Movie opening next week! It is going to be the best!

    I agree with u craiger22, I also believe that Pirates of Caribbean lacked that factor for which its 1st part is known for. I also didn't liked its second part but third one is devastating. The main emphasis was put on Will Turner and Elizabeth, Sparrow had nothing to do, but even though it managed to pull crowd in cinema houses. However I am still a great fan of Capt. jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) :)

    Gr8 reviews BellaNightshade !! Left my comments on site also. I liked that Black Snake moan review, well I also don't like Justin doing some serious acting stuff, however i am thinking of watching transformers this Sunday , getting late:( Thanks for appreciating my reviews, even though they sometimes look a little creepy !! :D
    I watched Partner yesterday so here's my review of yet another Bollywood flick.

    6. Partner ----- Rating 2.8/5
    Well its a treat for Sallu miyan fans, I used to like Salman when he wasn't a heavy HUNK but a cute looking chocolate hero (those who had watched maine pyar kiya would agree), however I started favoring Shahrukh and Amir over him because ----
    1. His Bulky body (which moves a little bit while dancing).
    2. Some totally faltuu comedy movies (I hate Judwaa, chul mere bhai).
    3. His image as a small tempered guy.

    But in recent years Salman has changed dramatically, the best part about this movie is songs and dancing and of course the fabulous Partners Salman Khan & Govinda, the story is inspired from Hitch (starring Will Smith & Eva Mendes).
    The most significant thing about this movie is that Salman has satisfied all of his critics (like me of course) by displaying his dancing & acting skills, he has tried his best in dancing and moving in Hip - Hop style (even he danced better than Govinda in some scenes :eek: ). Govinda will finally get a life in his acting career with this one. Songs are just too good and their presentation is fabulous, Lara Dutaa also looked confident and natural, Katrina's role was bit short. Story.... well I don't want to mention again otherwise Cylon & Sepehr would kill me this time :p The movie lacks in some areas like some loopholes in the story, movie length, direction etc. But I will insist on watching this movie once.

    Why u should watch the movie -----

    - You are die hard Sallu miyan fan (even i am starting to become one).

    - T.P. (Time pass) movie.

    - Haven't seen a good comedy movie from a long time.

    - Songs with Hip-Hop feel.
