Cinema: September 2008

http://cinema-and-me.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html

Saturday, September 06, 2008. A Hero we Deserved -. We all know that this is a Batman film. And we all expected him to take to the fore and deliver one more punch at the ugly side of Gotham. And we knew that the Batman's work is never finished. If Rhaas-al-Ghul dies, someone else will rise. And how he rose. That is the story of the Dark Knight! We have the Batman after him. But what can I write about a common story? No, that is not what I want to talk about her. This is a common story, one that we ha...

Cinema: November 2008

http://cinema-and-me.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

Thursday, November 20, 2008. Mr Brown made the whole point clear at the beginning. He told his story, no one listened, they argued about tipping and not tipping, Mr. White told Mr. Blonde that he could only shoot him in his dreams, so that then he could get up and apologize to him. Oh baby, is it me you’re looking for? They then walk off to attend to pending matters. And then foul it up. Not before the Radio blasts its way through one of the most stylish credits ever made. Quentin Tarantino brought forth...

Monday, November 16, 2009. The Pledge, the Turn and. 8220;The first part of a magic trick is to show your audience an object. otherwise known as the. Then you make it disappear, in magical parlance known as the. But that does not interest people and they don’t clap just as yet. The trick really is to bring the object back. That is when the audience goes mad with ecstasy. This part of a magic trick is known as the. That movie was a crap duster, but somehow, as always, he made it work. And consequently, Ch...

Cinema: January 2009

http://cinema-and-me.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

Monday, January 19, 2009. 8211; Oh Boy, what a movie! Don’t get me wrong. That little exclamation at the beginning was not out of joy, it was a yelp! Like I have seen Bollywood making worse movies, but this one takes the cake. Maybe this is what happens when Bollywood mixes with a hardcore South Indian masala entertainer – the result is. I understand the director’s concerns and his final output, but what was Aamir Khan thinking? Parallels. Yeah, that’s the word. Which are even worse. At least these.

Cinema: March 2009

http://cinema-and-me.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Wednesday, March 25, 2009. Requiem for a Dream. 8211; A Requiem to Remember. Comes in with this new story that really needs to be told. It’s about drug abuse, not about why it’s wrong, where the latter comes in as a dictum. And the brilliance of the movie is that it is not just the youth, but even adults who can get sucked into it. And would you believe it, that the adult we are talking about here is the mother of the so called drug-ruined teenager? Miraculous, isn’t it? Oh, and did I mention the music?

Friday, July 10, 2009. Open disobedience; bold resistance. How true. This definition could perhaps best sum the whole effort. The whole effort which makes miracles seem fragile. The whole effort which allows one to believe that to be human is to be everything; the whole effort that allows one to understand the complexity of actions, the menace of situations and also offers the hazardous solutions. But how could they? What more can you say about them. That they were the real Moses? 1 condition of being fr...

Cinema: May 2009

http://cinema-and-me.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Thursday, May 28, 2009. Superhero movies – the actual real ones, the ones that had a lot of thought going into them – always serve a double purpose when they are made into movies; and good movies at that! And how did your vote really help? Or now in this movie. So grab a DVD, watch the movie, and if you already have watched it earlier, see it again and try to understand it once again. It should allow you to open newer avenues and yet allow you to have fun at the same time. X-Men, the Last Stand. Or the s...

Monday, February 08, 2010. Well, it’s that time of the year again… Yes, I expect my thoughts to penetrate into the minds of the Filmfare jury… Therefore the fanfare! All right, let us all get it over with. I have my ideas as to which were the really, really good movies this year, and I am going to speak out my mind. It’s really very sad. But here goes…. Zoya Akhtar (Luck by Chance). Anurag Kashyap (Dev D). Anurag Kashyap (Dev D). You see my dilemma here? Who could I keep and who could I drop. It beco...

Cinema: December 2008

Friday, December 05, 2008. He never ceases to surprise you. Actually, the first Tarantino film that I ever saw was. And that too was quite some while back. Then there was a brief hiatus before one day, I saw. So after that there was even a bigger pause before I watched my third and Quentin Tarantino’s fourth film (which he proudly advertises on the credits) –. Kill Bill Vol. 1. That is not stunning? That just mesmerises you? This is perhaps the only column that warrants no words for it. The name of t...
