It’s not often that you see a movie and want to write about it. But recently, I watched 2 that are worth mentioning…

I did the unthink­able! Despite the con­sid­er­able star power and heat the cou­ple were gen­er­at­ing, I dozed through the sec­ond half of Mr & Mrs Smith :)

At the the­atres: Watched Star Wars, Episode III (Revenge of the Sith) and I must say that I found it bet­ter than the last install­ment (Attack of the Clones). Though I’m not a Star Wars fanatic, I do admire George Lucas for dream­ing up such an immense saga (and that too, not in order!). I […]

There was just one word when I walked out of the hall after watch­ing Black: WOW! This is exactly the feel­ing you’d like to be left with at the end of a movie and San­jay Leela Bhansali does an absolutely fab­u­lous job of ensur­ing that he achieves this objec­tive. Not only does he extract great […]

This pho­to­graph, taken by Jace in Pune reminds of a rather funny (in hind­sight) encounter I had in Guwa­hati, when in col­lege. There were 3 of us who decided to go for a movie – after­noon show. The name seemed pretty inno­cent (in fact we thought it was Bond movie) — Licenced to Kill. We […]

One of the spokesper­son said that this is ?the last oppor­tu­nity to save the lan­guage (Kan­nada)? (TOI, Nov 24). Last […]

If you’re a guy, you’d prob­a­bly say ‘yes’ if it’s this action flick and you just can’t get any­one to accom­pany you, despite try­ing to bribe them by offer­ing them your first born (on sec­ond thoughts, this might not actu­ally work!). But girls I believe are still not very com­fort­able with the idea of watching […]

After Cross­words last week­end, vis­ited Oxford Book Shop at the Leela Palace this Sun­day. Resisted from buy­ing any­more books till I get some moolah this month though. Picked up a mag­a­zine instead. Met up with a pho­tog­ra­pher who will be con­duct­ing a three month basic course start­ing from June. Since I’m such an ama­teur, I […]
