Ira Levin (27.08.1929 - 12.11.2007) We all die a little when we loose our dear ones... On Nov 12, 2007, I too died a little. Ira Levin is no more.... he was one of the most exciting horror novelists of our times... be it his first novel 'A Kiss before Dying', or 'Rosemary's Baby' or 'The Boys from Brazil' or 'Stepford wives' or his latest one 'Son of Rosemary'... he continued to thrill and make us shudder with its emotional horror... may he live till eternity through his books....
Om Shanti Om! *ing : Shah Rukh, Deepika Padukone, Arjun Rampal, Shreyas Thalpade, Kirron Kher and Bindu Director : Farah Khan someone famously remarked once... "if you can laugh at yourself, then who else can laugh at you?"...The chutzpah called 'Om Shanti Om', with all those lavish sets and canvas could be termed as Farah Khan's honest attempt towards jusitifying the above quote. ..and quite truly too...the film spares no one...and the film spares no bollywood genre and theme as well...so we have a whole spectre of actors...whether original or spoofs...including the amazingly looking bindu and the manoj kumar spoof walkign in front of us...the movie has in it every theme bollywood has ever attempted... love, mother-son relationship, item numbers, dreams and ambitions, revenge, re-incarnation all cock-tailed together to reach a happy ending.... shah rukh fills the frame from the start to finish...even if that means he should die half-way through...so that he be b...
Great Onscreen Performances Robert Duvall ...There's this moment in Tender Mercies Duvall plays an understated has-been county singer trying to give up alchohol, looking for a new start of life. One day, his daughter (The beautiful Ellen Barkin) turns up at his door step. He had seen her last when she was a child, and now she is 20-something. they talk standing, awkwardly, yearningly. they have so much to catch up with but she stays only for a few minutes promising to come back soon. just before she leaves, she turns (with that sweet, crooked smile of hers) and asks him if he remembers a song he used to sing to her when she was a kid. duvall looks away and is silent for what seems an awfully long time. and then says no, he doesnt remember. she leaves. he stands looking out of the window with his back to us, watching her drive away. and then very softly, brokenly, sings the words she couldnt recall... The strength of duvall's acting is not in what he does...but what he ...

Clueless (English) Dir : Amy Heckerling Starring : Alicia Silverstone, Brittany Murphy Amy has done her homework all right. her savvy, witty, astute, deft social observations of teenagers are deadly accurate. the movie is an enchanting chunk of sociology which speaks the 90's lingo - what the teenagers think, their dress codes, secret adolscent rituals, beliefs and their sinfully rich lifestyles. Alicia who plays Cher, the totally 'clued-in' 'with-it, super rich school girl is simply terrific!, as the airhead who discovers in the end, that she is actually teh one who is completely clueless. Cher, popular and always in vogue, goes around doing good deads for less fortunate in her school. she only has to spot a girl looking clueless and she rubs her hand with glee and says 'Project'. The movie is not mean, it is the kind of movie that we need to make in india - a movie that acutely shows indian pop culture. Stand-out scenes : 1. Cell phone shot as tho they ...
