SILVER SCREEN, MOVIES AND STARS...............PRICELESS MOMENTS ON A POSTCARD

THIS ONE COULD COME FROM ANYWHERE. THIS COULD BELONG TO ANYBODY. HEY! DOES IT REALLY MATTER, WHETHER THIS IS FROM ROME, DELHI OR BALI? I DON'T THINK SO. THE RECIPE FOR PRICELESS MOMENTS LIES IN EATING WELL, BIT OF PRAYING AND DISCOVERING THE CRAZY THING CALLED LOVE. THINK ABOUT IT. ELIZABETH GILBERT BELIEVES IT DOES.......SO DO I.

RETURN OF THE SLUMDOG !!

What would you call a movie that refuses to go down as a make - believe, a storyline that starts breathing life beyond the silver screen? It has to be the rags-to-riches tale directed by Danny Boyle. I think we will have to credit the multiple Oscar winning Slumdog Millionaire as an exceptional movie which has so beautifully captured a parallel world right at the heart of Mumbai - the city of glitz n glamour, a world where everyday is a living hell .

The true essence of movie making doesn't lie in entertaining the cinegoers alone. A true masterpiece is one which can rise and step out of the screen to touch people's lives . The producers of Slumdog are planning to donate Rs 37 million for the welfare of Mumbai's slumkids. All of it for a programme aimed at providing health care and education to these kids.

Now that's what I call a noble cause. Danny & Team surely deserves another golden statuette for the initiative.

Jai Ho !!

SHOOT 'EM UP !!!

Honestly I don't know why I am writing this post. Maybe I am little pissed with my adversaries right now for the wrong they have inflicted upon me. I really want to shoot 'em up, terrorise and torment them like Clive Owen did to hit man Paul Giamatti n gang in that thrilling movie, SHOOT 'EM UP . One dialogue by Paul the hitman which made be laugh and has stayed with me even today is a gospel that all my adversaries should keep in mind , A LEADER/BOSS WHO STAYS AT THE BACK, GETS IT IN THE BACK ( May not be verbatim as per the script, but close).

Anyways, my situation aside, I strongly recommend this movie to all my fellow movie buffs . If you have a fetish for action flicks , you would love to ride this tour de force.

Happy Viewing !

Bang Bang !!

Return of the dark knight.......Heath's last hurrah!!!

Isn't it amazing how successful some of the movie franchises are.........the audiences world over doesn't seem to get enough of such Hollywood flicks. One such box-office darling is the tale of the caped crusader from the Gotham city.

The latest from the winning series, is all set to hit the cineplexes shortly. Just like it's predecessor this one too will rake in millions.............but unfortunately, this one will be remembered more as the last hurrah, as the swan song, of the talented Aussie actor late Heath Ledger. After tasting success as the leading man in Ang Lee directed Brokeback Mountain, things were really looking up for him. Sadly his journey to super stardom was cut short by cruel hands of death.

If the views of the entire cast of the Dark Knight, the cine critics and all the pre launch press is any indication, Heath as the joker, might have essayed the role of his life.

Definitely a must watch for any ardent movie goer......and for all those tiny superheroes out there, DK along with Hellboy could be this years two biggest attractions.
