Three Colors White was more of an accidental discovery for me as I was browsing through some of our movies to watch something. I decided to watch this and must say that found it thoroughly worth the watch. It’s the second movie in a trilogy and has similar movies with the names red and blue. Three Colors White is on the theme of Equality. In brief, the story is about a man (Karol) and how…

It was a mixed group of us who went to watch Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Part 1). Some of us were die-hard fans of the books, some of us die-hard fans of the movies and had never read the book and some of us just wanted to watch an interesting movie. And not one of us liked it. I just love the HP books and have been time and again moderately disappointed by…

Thanks to bigflix.com we are watching movies that we would never go to the theatre for. One such movie that I was curious about was Nancy Drew (2007). Like a lot of kids, I started reading books with Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys series. I had never seen an onscreen adaptation of the series so was wondering what it would be like. Well, to be honest, I was disappointed. Everything was wrong from the…

Goodbye England’s rose May you ever grow in our hearts You were the grace that placed itself Where lives were torn apart You called out to our country And you whispered to those in pain Now you belong to heaven And the stars spell out your name And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind… by Elton John Few from our generation will ever forget the day Princess…
I always get a fairly accurate gut feeling about the movie from its trailers. When I saw Katrina Kaif swaying to the outstanding beat of “Mere Sang” (another hit for Sunidhi Chauhan) I knew I wanted to watch New York. New York is about the story of three friends – Omar (Niel Mukesh), Sameer (John Abraham) and Maya (Katrina Kaif) who meet at New York State University campus and build a close bond over the…
I have tried twice to watch Babel, a film directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu. In my first attempt, I could not understand the movie because the subtitles were not working for some weird reason:). On my second try, I couldn’t understand the movie even though the subtitles were working! At the risk of being called dense, I must confess that I just didn’t get what the director wanted to convey. The movie was painfully slow…
