During MBA, our communications teacher had shown us a movie called “12 Angry Men”. We were asked to observe and analyse the communication skills and patterns of all the major characters in the movie and later submit a report. It was a good learning and we enjoyed doing it.

Watched the movie ‘Up in the Air’ starring George Clooney. His character is a free man who doesn’t believe in marriage or any social commitment. He lives like that for years, dating women whenever he found interest in, and just travelling around the world which was part of his job. At one stage his sister’s [...] Recently released ‘Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader’ is a movie which I would not have visited on my own. But my wife loved it and hence we had to watch it. I expected the movie to be made up of some fairy tales and imaginative explorations. But a part of it [...] Watched James Cameron’s flick “Avatar” and didn’t enjoy it. When it comes to successfully bringing imagination live on the screen, I would give him 10/10, but are not movies to enjoy? I found it too emotionless, too weird (characters were awful to watch), and so typical a storyline (team goes to exploit the unexploited; conflict [...] I watched Dil Bole Hadippa yesterday, and found it very entertaining. Its a hilarious movie which makes us laugh all along and Rani Mukherjee has given a brilliant comic performance :) I was never a great admirer for hers, but her role as a male Sardar ji is simply superb. And a bonus: India wins [...] MoviesRab ne bana di jodiIn the Bollywood mill, somehow some flicks click and are enjoyable with their unique original package. This is one such with its very different storyline, treatment and our own Shahrukh in a very different role. This also launches model Anushka Sharma in herdebut role as an actress. The hero is a [...] MoviesJaane Tu ya jaane naA very refreshing movie, with all charms of teen-age love: falling out of, around and then into it. Recommended to all. A good very good song here: [Kahin to]Singers: Rashid Ali, Vasundhara Das Aur jaanana chaaho to: http://www.jaanetu.com/For those who have watched it, here are two insights :) (1) Jay makes fun of ‘Pappu’, saying [...] MoviesJab We Met There are some good movies, and there are some popular ones. And then there are some beautiful ones. My expectations from Jab We Met were not high though I like Shahid and Kareena both. Fed up with personal and business related problems, Shahid runs away to the oblivion and there in [...] MoviesKhamosh PaniIs cinema a medium to educate people? Or should it show us the real we - in the nude? Should it give us solutions, or should it only ask the right questions? Should cinema be a reflection of our popular demand or should cinema dare to bring light to the corners where there had [...] MoviesIndependence Day Here is a science fiction with tadka of US patriotism. Aliens attack the earth, with their space ships hovering all over the sky. They destroy a region in Russia and also cover New York. President of the United State tries to negotiate with the aliens. It becomes clear that their purpose is to destroy [...] MoviesCast Away This is the story of a man, actually a courier guy, cast away and virtually imprisoned on an inhabited island after his plane is grounded accidentally (played by Tom Hanks, Oscar nominee for best actor for this movie). He survives for around five years, prepares a boat, waits for favourable wind, and then [...] MoviesI, myself and IereneIn this Jim Carrey flick, he plays a good cop suffering from split personality. His second personality is to set things right which he wasnt able to do in his regular avatar. Renee Zellweger arrives as being in the midst of a dangerous plot to eliminate her. Jim and Renee get going [...] MoviesWhat women wantMel Gibson, an ad man, has been raised in an environment where he sees women as sex-objects. His height of anxiety happens when Helen Hunt arrives as his boss. In an accident, Mel gets a super natural power, by which he can hear what women think. Scary at first, he uses this power [...] MoviesGoal I watched Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal this Monday. I wont comment on the story; it is too Chak De to be mentioned here. I remember two scenes from the movie, which I want to share: Scene I: John Abraham had two friends in the movie, chamchas to be blunt. One of them was like a [...] MoviesOm Shanti OmOn this Saturday, I watched Om Shanti Om. If you havent watched it so far, just go! And take your family, even your grand parents if possible. This is again a brilliant piece, so typical of our Bollywood. Nothing logical happens in the movie, but we roll in laughter and bloom with love [...] MoviesBlack Friday I watched Black Friday recently. This post is only about story; movie no doublt is excellent, from all angles of movie making. It is based on a novel by the same name, and claims to tell the shocking truth behind the Mumbai bomb blasts. I have changed the sequence of the events, as [...] MoviesCan they recreate the originality? I watched Ram Gopal Verma ki Aag two weeks after it was released. I wanted to understand why did the movie failed to make a mark. I got to realise a very wrong trend among the present directors like Ram Gopal Verma: o This is an adaptation of Sholey. In [...] Movie Review Ta Ra Rum Pum Jab bhi ho gham, zyada ya kam,Muskuraayenge hum, gaayenge hum,Ta Ra Rum Pum.. Ta Ra Rum Pum.. Ta Ra Rum Pum.. How many times do we come across Bollywood movies which we can proudly take our children to watch? When we don’t have to divert their attention many times [...] 300 History or Controversy The movie 300 has been much debated and accused against since its release on March 8, 2007.
