  • A Cinematic Exploration of the Evolution of Film Noir – Se7en
    Film noir has been around for a long time now, with its very dark roots in German Expressionism, since the Black and White days of cinematic infancy. As Darwin said, every life form must evolve. I believe this postulate can be extended to film genres as well. So, how has film noir evolved? The answer lies in watching Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt pursue a serial killer,...

  • No Smoking : Body and soul are interdependent in this world to function

  • The Spurious Case Of Benjamin Button
    When I first heard about this movie The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button and its fantastic concept of reverse aging, I was reminded of a quote that’s attributed to George Costanza from Seinfeld series.
