  • Snakes on a Plane (2006)
    I don’t have a fear of Snakes but I will think twice before touching them. Imagine putting 450 snakes on a plane. Samuel Jackson stars in a snake movie called “Snakes on a Plane” and as the name suggest, it is just that many, many snakes on a plane. The movie is an action beast film like Anaconda and is targeted to give you thrills for almost two hours and for those...

  • Weekend Wrap
    Oh boy what a week! Some interesting snippets, some boring coverage… it seems we and the media are so hungry about news from Bollywood that any news is great news.

  • Aditya Chopra & Rani Mukherjee?
    I heard about this a few weeks ago and walked away from the article thinking it was just pure gossip. But another article comes up on this today. Anyone in NY can confirm this?

    RDB over Omkara for Oscars!!!! As I’m writing this article I’m listening to the title track of Omkara and wondering what Vishal Bhardwaj must be feeling when he heard this news.

    It’s time to officially recognize the arrival of Gen 21. The first mast mast batch of writers in Bollywood.

  • Training day, Denzel, Oscars and Scorsese
    Watched Training day. Pathetic. Even better: utter crap. But will give it a humble 4/10 Denzel washington sucks in this movie and no surprise he won the ‘Best actor’ oscar. Same old ‘over the top’ bad guy routine with irritating gimmicks throughout. I heard it was bad but couldn’t be worse. Tainted Oscars ditched his “Malcolm X” (the year...

    Warning: Spoilers ahead ====================== I have always wondered during the climax of “Rangeela” as to what happens after Urmila says hi to Aamir Khan. Before the climax, Urmila is never shown to be inclined towards Aamir. She see him as a good friend all along. What does Aamir Khan does after marriage? Still sell tickets in black? But then we consider it cinematic...

  • Kahan Gaye woh log..
    Do not fear my friends, this is not a repeat of the (in)famous dheeraj Kumar serial that was a rage over a decade ago. With his twisted (literally)smile, he dished out trash and we (due to lack of better options) actually sat and saw it. This was when TV meant doordarshan – or as I put it BC – Before Cable. I wanted to talk about actors and actresses who came...
