I have been meaning to write this for eons now but as the Dark Knight is just round the corner, it felt as the right time to write this. God how clichéd am I….
Well what can be written about Batman? For those comic virgins, I have a small primer in the next 2 Para(s). For all those twats like me, who did nothing much other than read comics, live in a warped world of their own, gloss over the next 2 paragraphs as its my take on what comics are & who Batman is
The American Film Institute has released its top 10 movie list for various genres. Check them out on the site below
The Genres that have been listed are :
Sadly there are no Genres like Drama, Action & we do not see some really good movies. But still a really good list. You can also see lots of data about the films on the site as well as clippings from the movie, et al.
Definitely worth a read.
Cheers,
Deepak
I have had such a bad few weeks that my blog looks like shite now with no updates for a long lone time. I also attribute it to sheer laziness on my part. The other thing was the month was so depressing and hence no mood to write. I will now get back my old discipline and start to reel off stuff and try to get this off the ground. I mean, there are fans of mine waiting patiently and expecting more pearls of wisdom from me and I cannot short charge them 
I have been gazing at my navel really badly for the past few weeks and even my work life has been a little hectic. I have been hearing great things from production houses but none seem to take it forward. At this semi frustrating state, I decided to do what motivates me the most…A Short film over the Weekend..Yeah Baby..Yeah..
As you grow older in this modern age of communication, with information at your fingertips, with the world becoming smaller, flat and what not, you tend to think you have seen it all, you have lived many lives & at this juncture in your life, world and particularly movies come and kick you in the jaw and tell you to sit up and take notice.
I have had an instance like that today morning and it has left me in tatters. I am a mere shell of my old self and it’s with a lot of difficulty I write this post. This post is like a telling tale and I only allow the strong of heart to read on and progress. The weaker ones, please log off, have a bath, dress in new clothes and try not to dwell on this too much. It will only weaken you further. Those of the more tough kind, read on….
Am still in a haze & I saw the movie about 2 hours back. My head is inundated with questions and I am wrestling my mind to return to normalcy. Yes it’s a Yash Raj film and it’s only about style. The director for heavens sake was the writer of Dhoom. So my expectation levels were a little low but the star cast was big and there was also a lot of talk in the media about this & since I need to see a new release every week, I had to see it.
I wanted to write this post for a long time now and since I have been plumb lazy and not posted anything for close to 10 days, thought will write about this.
The article is about a stage in my life about 15 years back. The year was 1992
U, Me Aur Hum & my one acronym for what I felt at the end of the movie should pretty much make the title of this blog. If some of you did not get what WTF is, then please send me a mail and I shall espouse on this acronym and why I used it here. Why the F@C# did I use it here? U, Me Aur Hum came from the same crew that made Hindustan Ki Kasam, Raju Chacha and I did not have too many expectations when I went into the theater but the movie was beyond the movies I earlier specified.
There is a lot of discussion among movieholics about the films of certain directors like Raj Kumar Santoshi, Shankar which seem to be too “Preachy” or oft repeated. There is a far too much discussion in the coffee houses, internet, blogs et al about why these directors should stop making movies as they tend to be repetitive.
I am sure this topic is going to get a lot of adrenalin surging and more personal onslaughts than required as this is one topic that is close to many of our hearts. We all might in refined society crib about the heavy violence in our movies and how we as a society have got degenerated but at the bottom of our portable paradises, we carry a list of movies that we tend to watch and love as they are centered on the underworld. I have decided today to put down some of my best loved gangster flicks (in no particular order). These are movies that I really enjoy and quote excessively from (one I tend to make the voice like the hero but it comes out like a croak. No prizes for guessing which movie this is) & tend to watch more than a healthy number of times. So here goes my list and do let me know what you all feel about this.
Hello,
My name is Deepak & am an aspiring filmmaker. This site is about Films in particular & all aspects of creativity in General.
Below is a Mug Shot of Me.
I write and aspire to be a loved filmaker one day. Goal in life is to tell stories till I Die. I believe in a philosophy of "OM" which could mean "Only Movies" or "Only Magic".
Do have a look around my site & Hope you have a good time here. Remember to keep coming in and this is a forum where you can discuss to your heart's content about all things related to Films & the whole process of Filmmaking.
