Cure of Troy

History says, Don’t hope

On this side of the grave.

But then, once in a lifetime

The longed-for tidal wave

Of justice can rise up,

And hope and history rhyme

Video Games

one of my favorite songs

Swinging in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car
Whistling my name

Open up a beer
And you take it over here
And play a video game

I'm in his favorite sun dress
Watching me get undressed
Take that body downtown

I say you the bestest
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on

Go play a video game

It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby now you do

Singing in the old bars
Swinging with the old stars
Living for the fame

Kissing in the blue dark
Playing pool and wild darts
Video games

He holds me in his big arms
Drunk and I am seeing stars
This is all I think of

Watching all our friends fall
In and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playing video games

It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby now you do

(Now you do)

It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby now you do

I am

Just watched this movie out of four stories found story featuring Sanjay Suri and Juhi Chawla most poignant Specially Juhi Chawla one... first of all it is first movie which shows plight of Kashmiri Pandits in unambiguous term, no root cause theory .. How kashmiris were chased away by very people with whom they had shared lives, how Kashmiiris mask the even by saying Kashmiris ran away, how their properties are either decayed or occupied, how old generation of Kashmiris never like delhi or other indian cities where they ultimately settled but one very important thing this movie shows different from movies like tahaan, sanjay dutt bipasha movie, mission kashmir, or shourya is how conflict means lost opportntites or rather lost life for some people Manisha's acting is superb in her small yet powerful role of a woman who lost her youth, her love, her brother because she was caught in a wrong place in wrong time and in that sense maybe character of Juhi Chawla was rather lucky story of Sanjay Suri is perhaps first portrayal of child abuse on Indian mainstream movies. like many other secrets of our society this is never talked about and as general lack of sex education means that those who are abused feel they are themselves guilty and never complain about their tormenters must watch to understand absurdities of modern civilization

Agneepath

Producers may claim that they were not marking remake on some minor plot points ( like husband of amitabh's sister) or no development of character of Amitabh's dad but still movie has imprint of old flick

plus - choice of very good location as mandwa, Om Puri, Rishi Kapur and minister were apt for their role. Praise for rishi kapur who shines in possibly first negative role in his life. Fight between his son and himself has certain godfather movie like feeling there are many opportunities which are wasted. e.g. Kancha's near maniacs is never explained, though towards end his dad is shown as proverbial uncle of Ravan who tried to stop him.Similarly in old movie goga kapur though less frightening but comes out as more scheming character which Sanjay dutt does not fight scene towards end is completely ridiculous and sole aim of it seems to show physique of Hrithik. Priyanka chopra is also wasted in small insignificant part. Praise for lady playing sister of Hrithik, she does not have many dialog but she delivers by her eyes

Movie review Ragini MMS

After a long time a decent Hindi horror movie maybe after darr of RamGopal Varma before he turned himself into a factory.Premise is simple and though they say it to be inspired by real events this kind of story of a wronged soul communicating with innocent/scheming outsiders has been repeated umpteen number of times. But thankfully it does not have that typical Ojha/magician so common in all Hindi movies who comes to deal with the bad soul neither it has a religious figure normally a priest or someone who comes to frighten away the ghost. This makes the story very realistic. Acting by lead pair is too good ,though movie sags towards end but length has been kept proper and it ends before viewer will get bored. Good movie. 8/10

Shor in the city

as opposed to typical movies on Bombay this steers clear of Hindu Muslim angle, immigrants, does not eulogies slum life and neither makes caricature of Bala thackrey but stays true to its intent

temptation to show chowpaty, railway station or gate way of India are avoided and thus it makes a visually appealing experience to watch movie

tushar kapoor finally acts looking at sendhil one feels that all Indian khans should be taught real meaning of word being fit is not Buffy muscles but something else

acting wise the local small time leader and friends of tushar kapoor and his wife shines there are some loopholes e.g. small kid plot is out of place , similarly how tushar kappor changes overnight or why not NRI tries to do something else before taking matters into his own hands is not explained

good premise but it could be more

but a good weekend watch

Tanu weds Manu

Movie certainly had a fresh story line. Just like DevD female lead is shown independent in thinking but as her friend correctly points out she is rebel without a cause. Best part of movie is capturing middle class India and towns of Kapurthala and Kanpur, though depiction borders on clichéd still movie is brilliant in pieces and there are quite a few comic movements. e.g. monkey show scene, scene where before wedding Manu's friend and Manu go to meet girls, while playing Antakshri they sing song 'abhi na jao chod kar', towards end when in typical Indian arranged marriage style tanu tells little girl that I like the boy and so on.. but somehow director did not have a convincing end and Jimmy Shergill was most unconvincing in bad man with good heart role
