Book Review – The Age of Innocence
I’m in a kind of purple patch where every book of mine ends up having an everlasting impression on me. The Age of Innocence took a very long time for me to settle in. In fact only after half the novel got over I got into groove. The Age of Innocence is one of the […]

Movie Review – A Clockwork Orange
For people who don’t like violence and sex and sleaze in movies or have a pseudo nonviolent mentality, this movie would move you. It’d have been a wonder only if I had not liked the movie. I’m bound to like this movie. And I liked it, like how? One look at Malcom Mcdowell and it’s […]

Movie Review – Taxi Driver
What do I tell about the film? A film that changed the course of the way I started watching films. The story about how Scorsese wanted to become priest and Paul Schrader coming with Raging Bull script and making him change the course of his life is well known. That’s what this film did to […]

Movie Review – 10 Enrathukulla
It was a pleasure to watch Vikram as Vikram (A Man with no name) instead of The Vikram. The former being his power while he was churning hit after hits during his peak time. Good that this time he didn’t have to do weight lifting, put on weight, take lessons for blind, study braille etc. […]

Book Review – The Mill on the Floss
There was a red hardbound, old, library like book with extremely small fonts and lot of pages lying in my shelf for the past few years. Not an ideal book to pick up after an extremely tough read, The Brothers Karamzov. But it was part of my four months project by the year end, where […]
Movie Review – The Grand Budapest Hotel
Every frame is a painting. You’d truly associate with that sentence when you watch the movie. Attention to details was so awesome that you will forgive everything else when you watch the movie. When I was watching the movie, either for good or bad, I was interrupted a number of times. Every time I had […]

Movie Review – Thani Oruvan
Thani Oruvan is the second film, post Bahubali which wasn’t in my list of movies to be watched in this year. But thankfully like the former even the latter was engaging. But to invest time and watch a movie like this, I don’t know whether its worth. For an outing with lots of people, yes, […]

Movie Review – Blood Simple
It’s simple, its blood. It’s as simple a story can get and it’s as simple blood can be splashed. A woman cheating on a man, a dishonest detective and a murder plan. The template couldn’t be as simple as that. But it’s a template redefined. It’s a different feel when you see an acclaimed director’s […]

Movie Review – Ship of Theseus
“If a ship is replaced part by part up to a point where not a single original part remains in it, is it still the same ship?” So there is a legend called Ship of Thesus, all the while I was imagining Ship of Thesus to be an animated film where a boy with black […]
