Inglourious BasterdsIn some senses Inglourious Basterds is a typical Quentin Tarantino movie with "Chapter" - based narrative, cinematic nods of acknowledgement to past movies from the same genre and comic relief blended into seemingly ultra-violent settings: (Col Hans Landa's sherlock-holmes-on-hormones calabash pipe compared to the Frenchman monsieur La Padite's rustic little briar-aspirant

Woke up late and went to watch "Che" at the IFC. It's an ass numbing 4 hours 20 mins long but thankfully there was an intermission between the two parts. I preferred the first part much better but incredible film overall.Went to Ray's for an extremely late lunch at 5pm. Headed home to chill for an hour. Drank some of the sparkling Rose wine. Kinda average to be honest. Prefer the Lambruscos. Went

Landed in new York on time. Airtrain-A Line-L Line- Walk a block to Sohil's apt in Avenue A. Joyous reunion followed by a welcoming drink of Strawberry Acai Bacardi Breezer. Terrible drink and I ask him has he turned into a woman in the time I've been away from Bombay. Catch up on old times till I start feeling peckish.

My brother describes this movie as an amalgam of Munich and Suryavanshi. My wife describes it as Body of Shit.Body of Lies is a good movie, in the same vien as Syriana, though more glamourous and less credible than Syriana. Russell Crowe and Leonardo di Caprio do a good job. The best job's been done by Mark Strong as Hani Salaam, the virtual monarch of the realm of Jordanian espionage. Plot is

Powerful, Great Plot, Brilliant Acting, Fatalist and A Raw Feel. Highly recommended for anybody even remotely interested in the American social fabric. I love how this film ends with a beginning and a tough beginning at that.At the end American History X the viewer realizes that life is going to get more difficult for the protagonist, he will find it even harder to stick to the choice he has

Too much style is never a good thing and this set in Texas tale of what is becoming one of my all time fav shows really suffers coz of it. That and the writing isn't upto par when compared with Season 1.I probably should have watched everything in chronological order but I had this available and nobody can ever accuse me of being patient.

Many moons ago I had picked up a Val McDermid book by random fluke at the BCL and had been mighty impressed by her writing skills. I had made a note to myself to read her other works but alas that was another addition to the list of things not done.So many moons later in another Indian territory (so to speak) I came across this BBC series based on her books and it was a case of neki aur pooch

Johnnie To has some serious competition as the reigning master of Hong Kong and his name is Derek Yee. If I were to use one word to describe this film it would be........STUNNING.

The reason that the Halo universe is probably the greatest fictional game universe ever created is the superb writing behind it. This fact is proven in this phenomenal prequel which provides the backstory behind the Spartans. The first time I played Halo was in Negi's apt in Bombay and I didn't leave the apt for 2 days straight till I completed Halo 2. It was so addictive and the only reason I

This has got to be one of the most bizzarely scripted anime films ever made. The love child of both Korean as well as Japanese lunatics the weirdness factor was never in doubt.

There are a few things in life which are better than sex and this film is one of them. John Woo back at the height of his powers. I do miss the presence of Chow Yun Fat but rumor has it that he might just be making an appearance in the concluding part.

When you mix Bill Nighy, the BBC and the term "political thriller" in the same pot you get State of Play. As good a mini-series as you could ever hope to see. Watch out for the film remake by Kevin McDonald.

I was expecting something weird considering it was a HK adaptation of an ultra violent fucked up Japanese manga. On the fucked up scale it ranked pretty high considering even I couldn't read it after the first 30 or so pages. And that's no small feat when you take into account I managed to read about half of Ichi the Killer before feeling sick.This film isn't for the faint hearted or for those
