Piranha 3DD did not have same horror effect as Piranha 3D.
Danielle Panabaker in Piranha 3DD.
Piranha 3DD did not have same
horror effect as Piranha 3D.
Piranha 3DD was the second
version of the film Piranha 3D that was released earlier. John Gulager directed
the film Piranha 3DD. Mark Canton, Joel Soisson and Mark Toberoff were the
producers of the film.
In the film it had been shown
that those parts of Lake Victoria that was attacked by the Piranhas had been
left abandoned. It was shown that Gary Busey and Clu Gulagher went for
searching their dead cow in Lake Clayton, a nearby lake. There the Piranhas had
laid their eggs in parts of the body of the cow. They hatched and created
havoc.
Danielle Panabaker was a marine
biology student who came back home during her summer break. She was the owner
of a waterpark. She found that her step-father David Koechner had added an
adult-themed section to the waterpark and named it Big Wet.
She met Mat Bush and Chris Zylka
who loved her. Katrina Bowden and her boyfriend Jean-Luc Bilodeau went into the
water and were attacked by the Piranhas. One of the piranhas entered the vagina
of Katrina and came out and attacked the organs of Bilodeau. He had chop his
male organs to get respite. Meagan Tandy and his boyfriend Paul James Jordan
had an affair inside their van which was covered. The gear was pushed and they
fell inside the water. They never returned. It was understood that the Piranhas
had killed them.
Danielle brought dead Piranha before the Marine Biologist
Christopher Lloyd. He said that the Piranhas had moved via sewage pipe and
entered into the underground rivers between the lakes.
Big Wet opened the next day. Ving
Rhames who killed many Piranhas in the first episode and lost the legs was
invited. David Hasselhoff came as a lifeguard but was only interested to give
autographs to women. The Piranhas attacked all the swimmers in the waterpark.
Adrian Mertinez poured gasoline in the waters and killed the Piranhas at the
end.
Danielle Panabaker acted very
well in the film. But the film did not have the same horror effect which was
there in the first part of the film.

Piranha 3D created extreme horror effect.
The Hollywood film Piranha 3D created extreme horror effect. The film had been directed by Alexandre Aja. It had been produced by Alexandre Aja, Mark Canton, Marc Toberoff and Gregory Levasseur.
It was shown in the film that Richard Dreyfuss was fishing in Lake Victoria in Arizona, USA. An earthquake took place and the bed of the lake was split. A whirlpool was formed. He fell and a group of Piranhas killed him.
Elisabeth Shue played the role of a Sheriff in the place. She asked her son Steven Mcqueen to look after her small children Brooklyn Proulx and Sage Ryan at home. She had her duty near the lake. He said yes but got carried away.
He went to remote places in Lake Victoria with a photographer Jerry O Connell. Kelly Brook and Jessica Szohr also went with them. In the mean time Brooklyn and Sage came out of the house and went to Lake Victoria and fell in danger.
Elizabeth Shue took a group of divers and discovered the existence of Piranhas. She caught one Piranha and broke before a marine biologist named Christopher Lloyd. She took a team of officers and asked the youth in Lake Victoria to evacuate the lake. They did not listen to her. Adam Scott helped her. Half of the swimmers were killed by Piranhas and most of the Piranhas were shot down.
Adam Scott and Elisabeth Shue went and rescued the group of persons in the boat named Barracuda. With the help of bursting the propane tank many Piranhas were killed in the waters. Then a phone call came from Lloyd saying that the Piranhas that were killed were the children. Their reproductive organs had not developed. So the parents were alive. Adam Scott was killed at the end of the film by an adult Piranha.
Elisabeth Shue, Adam Scott and Steven Mcqueen was excellent in their performances. The photography was brilliant. The film did decent business also. Viewers should watch the film.

Happy birthday to Amrish Puri.
Amrish Puri.
Happy birthday to Amrish Puri.
The viewers of bollywood films provide their best wishes and wish happy birthday to Amrish Puri on 22nd June 2012.. Amrish Puri died few years back and bollywood industry lost one of its indispensable actors ever.
His voice had an universal appeal and initially Amrish Puri was associated with realistic films directed by Shyam Benegal, Govind Nihalini and others. His performance in the films Bhumika, Aakrosh, Ardh Satya, Vijeta, Suraj Ka Satwa Ghora, Sardari Begum brought him national and international awards. But he became an indispensable figure in the commercial film industry with his manly body and outstanding voice.
His role JK in Ramesh Sippy’s successful film Shakti, balanced the soft tune of acting of Dilip Kumar as police officer and loud acting of Amitabh Bacchan as a smuggler. He killed Rakhee at the end of the film and was murdered by Big B when he was about to leave India. His act of kidnapping of Big B at a young age led to creation of a barrier between Dilip Kumar and Big B, where Big B thought Dilip Kumar never liked his son, which was untrue. It took Big B the entire film to know that Dilip Kumar loved him just his any other father.
Amrish Puri balanced Dilip Kumar’s personality in Mashal. Dilip Kumar was a journalist in the film and Amrish Puri, an underworld don, evicted Dilip Kumar from his house when he published real news about him. Dilip Kumar’s wife Wahida Rehman died in the streets when they were evicted from their house. Dilip Kumar later became a smuggler and killed Amrish Puri when he tried to murder Anil Kapoor, a young journalist who again reported true events.
Amrish Puri was sublime in Raj Kumar Santoshi’s film Ghayal. His character Balwant Rai was memorized by even children of India. He killed Raj Babbar and created false case against Sunny Deol. Sunny along with Sudesh Berry and others escaped from the jail and took revenge against Amrish Puri’s men inspite of Om Puri giving protection in the role of Police Officer Desouza. The entire action revolved around Amrish Puri.
Amrish Puri’s character Mogambo in Shekhar Kapoor’s Mr. India gave a new dimension to the character of villains. He dominated the film inspite of Anil Kapoor’s brilliance in using a scientific gazette to remain invisible. Amrish Puri never stuck to one style of acting and never got type-casted like other villains including Jeevan, Prem Chopra or Ajit.
He showed his comedy instincts in Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Jhoot Bole Cowa Kate opposite Anil Kapoor and also David Dhawan’s Mujshe Shaadi Karogi opposite Salman Khan. Amrish Puri’s character role in films like China Gate, Chachi 420, still haunts viewers. He made viewers cry with his performance in the film Ghatak as father of Sunny Deol. He had cancer and died at the end of the film.
Amrish Puri acted in almost 400 films within a span of 25 years which include blockbusters like Big B’s Andha Kanoon, Aaj Ka Arjun, Dilip Kumar’s Duniya, Bidhata, Mashal, Sunny Deol’s Damini, Ghatak, Gadar Ek Prem Katha, Vishswatma, Sanjay Dutt’s Vijeta, Mahanta, to name a few. Critics argue that no other actor other than Om Puri and Naseeruddin Shah had shown the dynamism that Amrish Puri had shown over the years. His films should be restored and preserved for the new generation.

and actresses were reached to every house of Bengal through TV Antenna.

Happy birthday to Mithun Chakravarty.
Mithun Chakravarty with Salman Khan
Happy birthday to Mithun Chakravarty.
The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to Mithun Chakravarty on 16th June, 2012. He had contributed in bollywood films for more than 30 years and had also contributed in Bengali films as well.
He brought revolution in the world of dancing in bollywood films. His film Disco Dancer, was related to the struggle of a young man in establishing him in the world of dancing. The music of the film composed by Bappi Lahiri played a big role in the success of the film. All the songs in the film became super hit including “I am a disco dancer”. Kishore Kumar, (Bappi Lahiri’s own relative), and Bappi Lahiri contributed a lot in the success of Mithun Chakravarty.
Mithun Chakravarty acted in successful films in the 80s, including Dance Dance, Pyar Jhukta Nahi, etc. Some of films were dance oriented films, while the other ones were action oriented. Although Mithun’s husky voice was criticized at times, his action sequences had always been appreciated.
Mithun Chakravarty won a number of national awards for his excellence in Bengali films, mainly related to films of intellectual directors like Mrinal Sen and Buddhadeb Dasgupta. His performances in films like Mrigaya and Tahader Katha require special mention. At the same time he acted in many commercially hit films like Anyay Abhichar and Kalankini Kankabati.
In the last 5 years, Mithun had kept his mark in character roles. Last year his performance in the role of a solicitor in the film Yuvvraaj was appreciated. He did a fantastic job in Akshay Kumar’s Chandni Chowk to China released in 2010. His emotional performance had made a lot of viewers cry. He tried to convince Akshay Kumar that those who tempted him to go to China and create name and fame were not his friends or well-wishers but were flatterers. Mithun had matured over the years. In 2012 he did a great job in the film Housefull 2. He acted along with Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Rishi Kapoor and proved his worth in the role of dacoit. These days whenever he is given any character role, he uses his long experience for the last 30 years in giving expression to the respective character. He played the role of the ancestor of Salman Khan in the film Veer, for two generations he maintained the bravery and glory of the pindary clan.
Mithun had also acted in negative characters and did a great job in those roles as well. His comedy performances in films like Agnipath can inspire many new actors of modern days. Besides Mithun had also been a great human being as he contributed in relief operations during natural calamities and human causes like raising funds for Thalasemia patients or people suffering from cancer, etc.
Mithun Chakravarty also appeared in Sourav Ganguly’s program Dadagiri and there also showed his excellence in answering questions. His success story from the beginning of a middle-class Bengali family can be a learning example for many youngstars. He is a hardworker. He is required all over India, in Dance India Dance program, in Dadagiri, bollywood films, Bengali films, everywhere.
The viewers expect him to continue the brilliant work that he started years back.
