REEL VS REAL.................A FREEZING POSTCARD

Look at these two pictures.Almost identical, aren't they ? Only difference is, the first came out of a reel and the latter is for real. As you read this, the big apple is frozen to the bones and elsewhere, in large part of Europe...........HELL FREEZES OVER. The world is in the midst of a climate renaissance. Is it changing for good or for worse ?Let's leave that for the experts to debate. As far as I know, the adverse effect of unchecked plundering of natural resources across the world is slowly and surely changing the shape of our beautiful planet. We can still save something of what's left. But the big question is, do we want to ? Is anybody listening ?  

PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE..........THE CAMERON WAY

Some people do things, not because they are ought to be done, but they do it because of the sheer passion for their craft. They are always ahead of the curve, looking for opportunities which will pave the way for others to follow.... to create something that will raise the bar, that will mark the dawn of a new age. They are called the pioneers, the visionaries , the demigods.

James Cameron is one such Talisman, one rare genius, who has always followed his heart. He in AVATAR has created not just a great movie, but he has written a new chapter or maybe a whole new book on new age cinematic experience....What happens when the best of technology is fused with a great imagination.

HATS OFF TO YOU JAMES...........YOU ARE INDEED AN INCOMPARABLE STORYTELLER .

SO LONG PATRICK!!..............RIP

Hollywood lost yet another fine actor in Patrick Swayze to the cruel hands of cancer on Sept 14th 09. A dogged fighter who fought till the very end, despite knowing that the odds are heavily stacked against him.

The song from his famous movie Dirty Dancing, which he co-wrote with Stacy Widelitz, " She's like the wind" is still so fresh in my mind even after all these years. This single climbed to # 3 on Billboard Hot 100 and received tremendous radio play in 1986. Wore many hats this affable bloke Patrick..... An Actor, A dancer, A singer-songwriter.

Dirty Dancing and Ghost two of his classics, will be remembered for a long long time to come.

So Long Patrick ! Will miss you !!

Rest in peace compadre !!!

Legend never dies !....Goodbye Paul!!

Paul Newman, the man with the most famous blue eyes is no more. A Screen giant, for some, last of the great 20th century movie star, passed away day before yesterday, on Friday at the age of 83.

I have been fortunate enough to see some his movies. And boy! what an actor he was. International Herald Tribune has beautifully captured the enigma of Paul. And I quote " If Marlon Brando and James Dean defined the defiant American male as a sullen rebel, Paul Newman recreated him as a likable renegade, a strikingly handsome figure of animal high spirits and blue-eyed candor whose magnetism was almost impossible to resist, whether the character was Hud, Cool Hand Luke or Butch Cassidy".

For those who want to see the late superstar in action, , try some of these flicks. EXODUS, THE HUSTLER, HUD, HARPER, COOL HAND LUKE, THE TOWERING INFERNO, THE VERDICT, BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID.

So long Paul !!
