Saturday, 24 February 2007. Yash Chopra takes the basic ingredients of a love triangle and adds an extra-marital relationship to give it that extra punch. In. Fate still plays its cruel tricks.

It is ridiculous that we are expect...

http://watchingfilms.blogspot.com/2007/04/danny-boyles-sunshine.html
Sunday, 15 April 2007. Watching Danny Boyle’s. I realised that I hadn’t watched a new sci-fi film in a long time. Maybe the genre just does not appeal to me. But that can’t be true as I am an avid fan of films such as. Alien, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Solaris. Popcorn movies such as. Don’t pose any deep or philosophical questions (and neither should they have to) and in that sense, they do not appeal to me. I’ve already mentioned. Alien, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Solaris. Stands out with his piercing eye...

Pulling It Apart: Claude Chabrol's Juste Avant La Nuit
http://watchingfilms.blogspot.com/2007/03/claude-chabrols-juste-avant-la-nuit.html
Sunday, 4 March 2007. Claude Chabrol's Juste Avant La Nuit. Image from Fremantle Home Entertainment. The last Claude Chabrol work that I viewed was. An uninteresting and confusing film about terrorism. In order to get over that, I found relief in visiting a far superior Chabrol work,. Juste Avant La Nuit. Just Before Nightfall). With themes of lust, deceit, murder and redemption, Juste Avant… is more a psychological drama rather than a thriller. Follows a different line of thought. Another interesting se...

Pulling It Apart: Review of Heyy Babyy
http://watchingfilms.blogspot.com/2007/08/review-of-heyy-babyy.html
Saturday, 25 August 2007. Review of Heyy Babyy. The premise of three men and a baby will be familiar to anyone who has seen a movie called, um,. Three Men And A Baby. Or its French original). To throw Akshay Kumar into such a story is an inspired piece of casting.

The bachelors appear as caveman-like morons with complete disre...

Near-maniacal passion for books, movies and music; Distaste for politics; Dispassion for religion - Me! Tuesday, January 12, 2010. However, there were quite a few "boring" sessions as well - most of the songs were not required. Sharman awakening from the coma took quite a bit of screen time - this is a flashback, and we have already seen Sharman hale 'n' hearty, for chrissakes! However, all said, this was leagues above the regular stuff that Bollywood turns out. - extremely enjoyable movie. Pranchiyettan...
