  • 9 – Delusions of an Aftermath
    To say that we really haven’t seen enough of the themes explored in this film before would be wrong. We have. Apocalypse and what not. A group of unknown who-left-‘em-here’s. it is quite really the middle of nowhere. Your closest and most recent reference points are Wall-E, I am Legend etc.(I guess The Road is next) so you think in those terms. There is an overtly...

  • 9: 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-PTOOF!
    Shane Acker, all said and done, sure got one thing right. If you’re going to make an addendum to one of the most beloved artifacts in the pop culture universe and if you don’t want to commit a McG-sized (Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, Terminator Salvation) motion picture embarrassment, the guy you take notes from is the one and only Mr. James Cameron. When faced...

  • 9 Movie Review
    I have not seen any Tim Burton movie. Neither have I read anything about him or his movies. I know 9 is not made by Tim Burton, but by Shane Acker, but I find everyone around me talking about the film, the expectations, the outcome and most importantly: Tim Burton. I did not carry any expectations. I’ve always been a sucker for real emotions, and rarely have I pushed...

  • 9: The End is Near, if You Can Make It
    We are almost close to the hour of the apocalypse. 9 awaits us on the destined day and moment. It is the countdown to a film, and it is a celebration too. TIM BURTON and his craft, sometimes derided, other times hailed as a genre in itself. I have been thinking about so many things related to his films, they give you so much more to cherish, to recount, to go over for...

  • Plan 9 from Dimension X
    The delusional is our only hope.’ – Chairman Mick Farren If you’re looking for reality in the cinema (whatever that may be), if your delicate senses are offended by the grotesque pageantry of the human imagination, if you like to strut around all-goody-two-shoes trying to uphold the merits of practicality… well, take a hike honey....

  • Khopadi ke Antariksh Ki Devi: Patala Bhairavi
    Captain’s Log: 2.2.2201 The Command and crew of Explopod 9 finds itself in a unique position commonly referred to by gin’d up gumshoes as ‘nothing to lose’. If the crew were any more than a peg-legged scarecrow remains of a man and a fresh-faced beardless stripling, one could expect a mutiny. But as bad karma or plain good old bad luck would have it, Explopod...

  • Ye Shaadi Nahin Ho Sakti – Murda Dulhan ke Kaarname
    For Joe Ranft It turned out a long wait, for little reason. As the rain receded, we spilled out of the rainbow-lab. The air was reassuringly warm, But moist with the frown of the moment. It reigned over us, playing an unreleased Gilbert & Sullivan in vain. Infection. Mystery. Rage. Soon, it was all gone, In the prime of the moment. Not a second to replay no more....

  • The Persepolis Experience
      Okay, so nowadays I am on a graphic novel spree. Having devoured Art Spiegelman’s “Maus” (although an outstandingly original work,Persepolis is unmistakeably influenced by “Maus”) Alan Moore’s “From Hell” and closer home, Sarnath Bannerjee’s refreshing debut “Corridor” in the last few weeks, I have read...
