  1. Inglorious Basterds review

    Inglorious Basterds- I think we all know by now that Tarantino has a knack for story-telling. Film critic Roger Ebert once said that Tarantino could "make a bad film, but never a boring one." That sums up Tarantino. His films reek of cinema, they embrace cinema, they are about cinema, they are cinema in the purest sense possible. One appretiates Tarantino the more and more one sees other movies, for he just having so much goddamn fun with his movie geek knowledge, and if you have seen ...

    A God's Labour, by Sri Aurobindo

    A God's Labour

    I have gathered my dreams in a silver air
    Between the gold and the blue
    And wrapped them softly and left them there,
    My jewelled dreams of you.

    I had hoped to build a rainbow bridge

  3. Scaling tall buildings

  5. Gummo review

    by , 12-28-2009 at 03:38 AM (A Mirror Floating in Water)
    Gummo - Some may say that director Harmony Korine is unfair and condecending towards his characters, presenting them as dumb, racist white trash, and while the extremity of this film may create a convincing argument for that (for its content is not gracious or subtle) it is too shallow an interpretation in this otherwise haunting and hypnotically strange and disturbing film.

    Yes before viewing this I had heard all about the films contnet; the cat-drowning scene, the depictions of ...
