Mamma Mia!

by

I happened to watch Mamma Mia! over the weekend… When I say ‘happened to’, I mean happened to :P I was actually planning to go to a play performed by my friend and was catching up with Sidharth, Pramod and Anant at a coffee shop. About 10 min before I had planned to leave, a … Read more

Kabhi Khud Pe Hansa Main, Aur…

by

Rock On! has clearly had a bigger impact than what I thought it would have when I first heard about it. The story, acting, dialogs, music and scenes all deserve to be written and talked about… But one of the things I wasn’t very impressed with initially were the lyrics of the songs.

Of course there is no compulsion that the songs of a movie must have great lyrics but this movie was one that promised to ride on its music. My initial opinion (about the lyrics) was echoed by a lot of my friends, but then I listened to Phir Dekhiye & Yeh Tumhari Meri Baatein. Those two songs made me rethink my opinion about the rest of the soundtrack.

The Man With One Red Shoe The Man With One Red Shoe

[Rating:5/5]

I first watched The Man With One Red Shoe on television years ago when I first started watching Hollywood movies. All I remembered from the movie was the basic plot(which was brilliant) and that I did not stop laughing right thru the movie. I decided to watch it again and see if the movie was actually that much fun!

Beauty…

by

I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me… but it’s hard to stay mad, when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and it’s too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst… And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life… You have no idea what I’m talking about, I’m sure. But don’t worry… you will someday.

– Finishing Lines… American Beauty

When I first watched American Beauty it was on a television movie channel. I had heard so much about it and wanted to know what it was about. What impressed me then the most was the ending of the film… that line(above quote) struck a chord with me… Far away from understanding the movie, back then I thought it was an above average movie. Blame it mostly on the overly censored movie channels (it was the clipping of what was considered ‘bad language’ that bothered me more than the nudity) and the ad breaks that just ruined the flow of the movie.
