    Y2K, The Decade that was… Part 1

And while we all at PFC and numerous other sites, blogs and boards dedicated towards the passion for cinema, are talking, discussing, trashing, uplifting, ditching, or fucking up movies and movie professionals and anything related to cinema, very few have had the chance to take a pause, a breather and look at...

    #$%* you, Vishal and Shekhar
    Early morning. Maybe 7 A.M or thereabouts. White seagulls across the grey skies that melt into the grey sea. A continuum all around of grey tones, dark and dank. In the middle of the crowded city, a place of absolute, total, terrifying aloneness. The bus stop at Haji Ali, across the road from the famous mosque. A strip of land leading into the sea and instead of into nothingness,...

    Wake Up S!d — Music review
    Recently John Hughes passed away who has made some of the finest coming of age films of all time like “Sixteen Candles” , “The Breakfast Club” and “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off”.

    Quirk Gun Murugan Sangeet Alochana
    Quick Gun MuruganHe is our most beloved cowboy, the one who not only herds the cows but sacrifices his life to save them from gay(i)-eaters, suvar ke bachcho-eaters. He is unmistakably our own MGR-meets-John Wayne, and he is pissed off, because he is back from dead. (Ref: Dennis Leary in I’m an asshole) If this sounded quirky so far, read on.

    Remo – The craziest of all

A foot tapping number, from the movie Jalwa, this 14 minute rare-to-find-now song, was emailed to us by three different readers who wanted to share the craze...

I was helping my wife out with some household chores while Queensryche’s Revolution Calling played in the background on Pandora. Brunch was set on the table and I switched...
