Vettaiyaadu Villayaadu How can you squander good acting? Make a movie like Vettaiyaadu Villayaadu. How can you spend up a good night’s sleep? Watch a movie like Vettaiyaadu Villayaadu. Ok, I am clearly overstating this. Some parts of the movie were appreciable. Here’s a small list of what was good. >DCP Raghavan’s Introduction – No swish whoosh noise accompaniment, established a gutsy police officer, dark humour hanging somewhere there but wasn’t used. >The Murder of Arokiaraaj’s Daughter – Established the goriness of the perpetuator, music accommodated the overhanging darkness. >The Investigation of Arokiaraaj’s Daughter’s Murder – Established Raghavan Instinct (was it an inspiration from Will’s Instinct – Red Dragon? Not sure), BGM, again the ability to use bright daylight to deliver ominous activity like digging up a dead body, Goriness. >Kayal Vizhi meets Raghavan – Now it took jus2minutes for Mr.KH to do what he does the very best. Home ground advantage? It was like wa...

Chariots of Fire - Review I saw the movie in one sitting after a long long time. Maybe the only disadvantage I felt was due to the popularity of the theme music, I've heard it so many times that I didn't perhaps get the complete enjoyment of the movie. But nevertheless the movie was great. No All American heroism. Thank god not much of the Anglo-saxon decency for that matter. One thing I did notice was that the director wanted to show a lot more but something stopped him. Something WAS missing. Overall it's a great movie. Being from India, heroism does play a role on me. I would rate 'Seabiscuit' and 'Breaking Away' as two of the most inspiring movies I've seen. I wanna add a lot more to this about Chariots of Fire. I'll need to watch it again. I liked the titles and how they reused the titles for the ending as well. Smart. The title music from Vangelis - Chariots Of Fire (Mythodea Live in Greece) 13 (Tzameti) - Trailer A friend of mine introduced me...

There's a painter painting his masterpiece. There are some squirrels jumping in the trees, There's a wide-eyed boy with a red balloon. All my life I...
I was watching Godfather 2 yesterday for the ... time some cool quotes!!! There are many things my father taught me here in this room. He taught me, keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. My offer is this: nothing. Not even the $20,000 for the gaming license, which I would appreciate if you would put up personally I should dig out more on this Lauren Weisberger. I like the title for her first novel "The Devil wears Prada". Of course its a movie now.
Nothing much happened in all these days. I watched Roman Polanski 's Oliver Twist . I've not read the book but I just didn't understand why anyone make that into a movie. Yeah its a classic novel and all that but it was pretty boring. Then I had some friends coming in. I had some relatives and nothing much actually. I'm reading Shantaram now. Must read. If you like fast paced stories and to top it all this one's true. And even better it's about Bombay which physically exists in India but it IS a country by itself. I've been there a few times but I just fell for it the first time i set my eyes on it. L A F Sight. No kidding. It happens. Even today. My latest Pic
