2015 is about to come to a close and yet there were times it seemed to drag itself out unendingly! Biggest news from our side is that the brat is now in a big kids' school. He's only in first grade but he seems to be changing perceptibly in front of our eyes. He's learning... Continue Reading →
Movie Review- Tamasha
I went and saw Tamasha yesterday. And here's why I liked it: Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor work. Totally work. Their chemistry is palpable. Helps that Kapoor isn't an aging Khan and an actual contemporary of the lead actress; playing his own age. Corsica is beautiful. And the fact that they moved away from Capri... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Singh Is Bling
I say this with every bit of sincerity I possess: there's a special place reserved in HELL for Prabhu Deva for making this movie. I am not a snob about my movies. I prefer the light-hearted ones to the somber ones, that's true but this movie was boring and it's cliches had cliches and barring... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Minions
In a nutshell? It's for kids and those who are entirely too gaga about these little yellow capsules that go jumping, babbling about. But crack the nut and you are still left with a movie that doesn't have much of a story line and is a rather lame-ish precursor to Despicable Me. They ARE cute.... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Inside Out
All that glitters is not gold and every animated flick isn't just a kiddy movie. When I made plans for Inside Out I didn't expect to see a movie that was as well fleshed-out, had a lot of important things to convey and loads of nuances. That it's animated is just the icing on the... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Home
MLM has summer holidays and it's driving me up the wall. A movie seemed like a good way to get him to climb other walls outside the home. And because it's his summer vacation I'll keep it short. Barring the creation of the Boovs where Jim Parson's Sheldon Cooper-manner of talking, albeit with grammatical errors,... Continue Reading →
Movie Reco: The Godfather
My whole family's been under the weather after the offspring got a bug back from school. With long periods of imposed bedrest there's hardly any time before your mind commands you to watch a movie, or 3. Well in my case no movie is ever watchable at a stretch when my kid is around, so...

2014: A Retrospective of Movies
I look back at 2014 and realize it's not been bad at all movie-wise. Read on...
Movie Review: Gone Girl
I don't get to go out too often and watch movies. But when I do and it turns out to be for a movie like Gone Girl, it is totally worth it. Btw, the link contains the spoiler too, so read it only if you aren't planning to go see the movie. This movie will appeal... Continue Reading →
In Memoriam: Robin Williams
Woke up this morning to a truly saddening news- Robin Williams was no more. Had been a while since I'd seen anything he'd starred in but he was an actor who had a fantastic range of expressions but was largely categorized as a comic actor due to the large number of comedies he starred in....
