The night was coming to an end and I was just about winding up work. Don't know what made me but I went to a colleague's work station and we ended up engaging in some pointless office conversation. Midway he asks me if I want to join him in watching a movie. Apparently he was... Continue Reading →
Vampire films are done to death. Let's just accept it. There have been serious movies and spoofs galore on the subject. But perhaps none have come to be as entertaining as 'What We Do In The Shadows'. With a very fresh approach on the portrayal of vampires, this film is a delight to watch and... Continue Reading →
As a fan of good cinema, I'm disappointed that my own country's biggest film industry doesn't make experimentative cinema. With the immense pool of talent available in this country, I am aghast that we were making the same 'ghisa-pita' films even in the better half of the 21st century. That changed with Trapped though.

I've said this quite often but the truth is the truth. One of the things I enjoy about watching movies from my collection is that I chance upon a movie which leaves me stunned because of the sheer brilliance it contains. I don’t usually write about something that I’ve seen unless it compels me to. Detachment is... Continue Reading →
It happens once in a while that when I sit down to watch a movie without knowing much about it, at the end of it I curse myself for not seeing it before. The Best Offer, a movie laced with more themes than one can imagine is perhaps one of the best psychological thrillers in... Continue Reading →
The secret to a good film is to tell a good story. A good story will keep you hanging on to the edge of your seat. It will make you wanting to know more, not wanting for it to end. The Wolf Of Wall Street is exactly that. A good story about a real life... Continue Reading →
