It was an unusual choice on Sunday afternoon to watch the moderately-acclaimed The Time Traveller’s Wife. Two strong reasons for watching the film: a) Lisa Ray in a recent interview named it as one of her favourite films b) It starred the flawless Eric Bana who rarely fails to depict the role of a fallen […]

My last weekend indulgence was watching the Spielberg-directed Minority Report. It’s a movie I had heard of quite a few times earlier but was never attracted to watch it because it came across as a typical sci-fi which is not my favourite genre. When I finished watching the film I knew what I had missed. Minority […]

Let me start with a comparison. Don 2 definitely offers more entertainment and intelligent cinema than Don. While Don was a disappointment with a rather bland ending, Don 2 showcases brilliant screenplay and a script that may be trite by Hollywood standards, but enterprising for quintessential Bollywood audience. There are few things however that go […]

It was an instantaneous decision to watch The Dirty Picture a few days back. I knew in the back of my mind that The Dirty Picture had opened to mixed reviews. The only consistent element in the reviews was Vidya Balan’s mindblowing acting. I would have to agree with critics from all walks that Vidya […]

There are sequels and there are sequels. Though both Hollywood and Bollywood are competing who makes worse films recently, there are some films from reputed directors that I am looking forward to in the next few months to come.

The reason I was looking forward to Johnny English Reborn was that I had thoroughly enjoyed Johnny English when it was released some 5 years back. For the uninitiated, Johnny English, played by the inimitable Rowan Atkinson (popularly known as Mr Bean), is a spoof/parody of James Bond, the suave MI7 agent. Johnny English Reborn […]

Oliver Stone is one Hollywood director who I would dare put on the same pedestal as Spielberg or Scorsese. His work is immensely researched, painstakingly directed and absolutely mesmerizing. Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July and Wall Street are films that are engraved in the eternity. What inspired me to watch Alexander, quite honestly, […]

Crazy Stupid Love is like that ODI where the first set of 15 overs are entertaining and the last ten are slam bang. It’s the in-between where the customary singles ate taken that the game gets predictable and boring. CSL is a film that promises much to begin with, with impressive plot build-up, rib-tickling dialogues […]

I stumbled upon Love Actually VCD last week and bought it at a mouth-watering price of Rs. 69 (I bought 5 others too). I had heard of Love Actually earlier, but I have never been a fan of Rom-Coms so never had the motivation to watch it. However, Love Actually is not a typical Jack […]
