I seem to have fallen into the curious pattern of doing freeze frame posts on The Godfather trilogy in reverse. I started off with a moving little scene in Part III (pretty much the only scene in that movie that grabbed me, come to think of it). And now, a moment in Part II. There’s

Dear Kate, Congratulations! I am extremely glad that you won not one, but two Golden Globes for your performances this year. I haven’t seen either movie, but I am sure you deserved them. I am fairly certain that the Oscars aren’t that far away. The Academy has a habit of awarding people a statuette on

Thanks to his Golden Globe for Slumdog Millionaire (and the possibility of an Oscar), Rahman is now the flavour of the month. While I haven’t been too impressed with much of his recent work, it made me think about his career over the years. I heard Roja when I was in high school — to

Full disclosure: The idea of a movie about God’s silence doesn’t set my pulse racing, despite whatever I have led you to believe about my tastes in cinema. In my defence however, I will state that it doesn’t turn me off to the point of not watching it. So I slipped in the DVD and

Hustle and Flow tells the story of a man who wishes to become a rap star, and sinks all his earnings into the effort until it almost breaks him. The rap music involved is fairly okay, maybe just a bit above average. The lyrics aren’t G-rated either. And yeah, I suppose I should mention that he

For those of you who are marginally interested: I spent a fortnight in Europe, then went to Chennai for my sister’s wedding, then to the Andamans for some much-needed R&R (travelogue post coming soon), then back to Chennai for Diwali (wishing you and your loved ones, btw)… 24 fps should be back in action by

I will be traveling to Germany and Poland on work for the next fortnight. 24fps will be on hiatus until I return. Those of you who wonder about the sheer waste of beer involved in sending a non-beer drinker to Munich during Oktoberfest are welcome to rant and rave in the comments section. Those of you
