Chaos Theory: Movie Review : Khatta Meetha
http://ramblings-my.blogspot.com/2010/08/movie-review-khatta-meetha.html
It's life Jim, but not as we know it. Friday 13 August 2010. Movie Review : Khatta Meetha. You have to admire Priyadarshan. He has identified a niche in Bollywood, build the support structure to enable exploitation of that niche and made a success of it. Remaking successful Malayalam movies. Hera Pheri - Ramji Rao Speaking. Bhul Bhulaiya - Manichitrathazhu. Billu - Kadha Parayumbol. The well meaning Sachin and his struggles are juxtaposed against the power brokers and high level corruption represented by...

http://ramblings-my.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
It's life Jim, but not as we know it. Sunday 7 October 2012. An interesting take on this in the The Big Indian Picture. Part of article by. I would say "Whither Cinema without the masses! If you're of a certain age, admit it - you miss the old bollywood. A bollwood where. Heroines wore Saris or other Village Belle outfits. Saris looked like Saris and not a cross between a combination of drape and halter top. Movies did not have english words in the titles; Jab we met? Did we get another Sholay? Is "K-k-k...

Chaos Theory: Book Review : The Devil's Picnic
http://ramblings-my.blogspot.com/2010/08/book-review-devils-picnic.html
It's life Jim, but not as we know it. Saturday 14 August 2010. Book Review : The Devil's Picnic. A tour of everything the governments of the world don't want you to try. My wife picked this one up on a whim at a reduction sale in Wales. I had never heard of Canadian author Taras Grescoe and neither had she. I guess what triggered the decision was the sub-title. Who can resist something that provides even a hint of reading about government conspiracies? Pick this one up. Definitely worth your time. So the...

Chaos Theory: Rajnikant - Endhiran
http://ramblings-my.blogspot.com/2010/08/ranjikant-endhiran.html
It's life Jim, but not as we know it. Tuesday 31 August 2010. So the Boss is back with Endiran, soon to be released. A film about Rajni creating a robot Rajni to deal with the bad guys. My question is, why in god's name would he want to do that? Will this robot be able to do the following? Exercise control over inanimate objects - sunglasses, spears, guns, bullets, cars? Control animals with a mere glance? Beat up scores of people unarmed? Make women go crazy for him without trying? Boy, Road Dahl (If yo...

Chaos Theory: Rambling : Viva Le Revolution
http://ramblings-my.blogspot.com/2011/02/rambling-viva-le-revolution.html
It's life Jim, but not as we know it. Wednesday 23 February 2011. Rambling : Viva Le Revolution. So, it happened in Egypt. It's happening in Libya and Baharain. Is it a good thing? Traditionally, every revolution or mass movement had a leader and more or less an ideology. Take Gandhi, take Mandela and many others. What do we have now? What happens after they get rid of what they don't want? Is there a leader who will come in and provide what is the unstated need? Posted by Mohammed Yaseen. A Game Of Thro...

Chaos Theory: Movie Review : Urumi
http://ramblings-my.blogspot.com/2011/04/movie-review-urumi.html
It's life Jim, but not as we know it. Friday 8 April 2011. Movie Review : Urumi. Based on the history of Vasco de Gama in Kerala, this film builds around some key events of the period and is essentially a revenge drama. The story pretty much follows any Indian movie built around the historical events involving foreigners. 1 Incredibly evil and greedy foreigners commit atrocities on the poor and well meaning Indian population (dog ears grafted on to well meaning Indian envoy and so on). Third, the script ...
