  • Peter Jackson’s & Spielberg’s Tintin : What a cast!
    Variety talks about one of the most anticipated films this side of 2009, The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn, while our prolific author, Kenny can’t stop gushing about it… The two films I’m most excited about in the post-Dark Knight era are James Cameron’s Avatar and …Tintin!

  • Munich
    The last one week, I have not been really watching movies.  I have been just tracking the news, or watching the news channels, as i was first shocked and then outraged.  In fact i have not yet watched OLLO  or Sorry Bhai, maybe some time later this weekend.  Anyway as i was looking for some DVD’s, just glanced at Munich and happened to watch it again.  Well...

  • Amistad(1997)
    Could have been a classic but for Spielberg’s tendency to indulge in grandstanding. Watch it for Anthony Hopkins. (3/5) IMDB

  • Michael Crichton Passes Away-II
    In continuation of my tribute to Michael Crichton, this is the second post. Barry Levinson had made a mess of Sphere, but he did a good job with the other Crichton work Disclosure. I think reason being Levinson is strong with dramatic subjects like Rainman, Tin Men, Good Morning Vietnam and Wag the Dog., but he was clearly out of depth with Sphere’s sci fi, pyschological...

John Michael Crichton, aka Michael Crichton who passed away couple of days back at age of 66 due to cancer. Well whatever his achievements, if...

  • “Professor, it really is a Dead End!”
    Well I hope so!! LaBeouf’s rather innocuous line in the movie, appears significantly prophetic in the end. SPOILER ALERT!!! Unless you are in some weird parallel universe with no media or internet, you already know – the whip cracking archaeologist is back! And the premise is we are supposed to be happy and lap it all up. I was all for it, lapping up the whole...
