Wonder why Kurbaan is getting so much hype and good reviews! Is it because Karan Johar has managed to generate enough curiosity courtesy Kareena's backless show, "Mumbai-Bombay" controversy, Saif-Kareena's real/reel romance (read bedroom scene) or simply because KJo has spent hell lot of money for the paid reviews? Whatever be the reason, the thing is that movie does not work. It does not work in the first 30 minutes when Saif tries to woo Kareena - seemed more like Coffee with Karan (oops Kareena). It does not work when you show NYPD as stupid as Bollywood police - why on earth they did not stop the trains when they knew there were bombs on them? FBI Agent Collins looked like a caricature of our own Jagadish Raj, if you know who I am talking about.

When I saw the new Lee Daniel's movie, Precious I noticed a lot of similarities between this movie and last year's Oscars hearthrob Slumdog Millionaire. And I'm not talking about the fact that both movies won the Audience Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival. What I'm talking about is that they both tell a story of teenagers, born into a world filled with suffering, despair and abuse, that most of us can't even relate to. The best part, however, is that they use these horrible circumstances as a backdrop only and focus on the resilience of their main characters and how hope of finding love (Slumdog) or fame (Precious) gives them energy to fight. That message of hope and optimism is what our world needs right now and Precious delivers on it.

I never thought a celebrity's death could affect me so much, but when the King of Pop Michael Jackson died, I was in a shock for a week. Its still hard to believe that he's gone and partly because MJ was one of those icons that people (or at least me) thought was never going to die. In a way he didn't, all of what he stood for is still alive and that's exactly what the documentary, This is it, is all about. Made from the footage shot during the rehearsals of his upcoming This Is It tour, the movie showcases the man's greatness, his influence and command on every aspect of entertaining - music, singing, dancing and showmanship. Basically reminding us of everything that people forgot about him in the last decade.

Spike Jonze's much anticipated adaptation of children's book "Where The Wild Things Are", finally hit the theaters Friday October 16th. I was able to catch an early early show at 12 am (depends how you look at it, it was the late late show on Thursday night) and absolutely loved it. Like any movie there are some things here and there that were not perfect, but overall the movie nails the essence of the story.
