CHAPTER 2 - a play by evam


okay. watched their very first show at rangasankara. awesome. the whole hall was in splits. they get better and better every play. its about four people two married, a divorcee and a widow. And wat follows is two hours of drama filled wit laughter and emotions. the cast was apt and karuna easily stole the show. thanks to evam for recreating the magic of the broadway classics for indian audiences who cant affort a ticket to manhattan or a time machine to the period when the play was actually running.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! GO WATCH IT!

BeiNg cYrUS



being cyrus is a breath of fresh air through the glamourous bollywood boulevard if you would consider it belonging to that genre. not a great entertainer but a passe movie in an attempt to present something new and fairly achieved it. i always look, to get a bit influenced by the characters in the movie i watch, on that front this flick was a let down, coz none of the characters leave behind an impression, neither did they have substance.

Give life a new definition that sounds impressive and that which would make you think ,believe in the thriller elements namely coincidence and revenge, picturise it in a interesting way thats offbeat and bang u get 'being cyrus'


WORTH A WATCH.

Brokeback mountain



i didn enjoy this movie much but for the very scenic locales with the amazingly decked up clouds, the guitar strings in the background and an oscar performance from heath ledger (michelle williams was very natural in the very few scenes she featured).A sad movie, rarely any other characters apart from the lead are seen onscreen. a very laid back movie whose hype created is not met

wud say: WATCH IT IF YOU WANT TO.

Memoirs of a Geisha


a geisha's memoir which isnt very interesting or appealing enough to sit and watch the entire playin hours of two and half hours. just a time pass movie. the beach shot in the last scene was breathtaking. and so is the lead geisha who looks stunning in certain frames!

that would be a critic's view on that movie, but i always see the better part of the otherwise dragging saga, for it offered some glossy eye candy!

CRASH


Crash, a great screenplay, a bold theme offering quite a lot of powerful moments.
how racisim prevails in the west is etched with the characters of crash. And the climax is the realisation happenning. amazing to see such a delicate issue potrayed and handled well enuff to not, give the viewers a sense of dissatisfaction! a brilliant and a realistic movie. A diector's movie.

GO WATCH IT!
