Just read that the Hindi movie Sunday starring Ajay Devgun is a hash of my favourite telugu movie called "Anukokunda Oka Roju".  I happened to absolutely love Sashank [what an actor!  He is a natural!] and Jagapati Babu's sauve funny style.  But imagining Arshad in Sashank's role and Ajay in JB's is SCARY!  Especially when most north indian flicks are pathetic in treatment.  Not to mention that the cult angle is being replaced by a serial killer angle.  OUCH!  Bubbly heroine Charmi's role is being executed by Ayesha Takia!

I first saw the trailer on television a couple of days back. It was a 30 sec spot, and I suddenly noticed Aishwarya Rai's face. (On an aside, her cousin Rashmi Rai had taught briefly in my undergraduation college, in Mangalore. She happens to be a little shorter than Ash herself, but the resemblance is striking.) What still makes me think twice about seeing the movie is Ash's lack of acting skills.. [Is she wooden or what?] But the pull is Ben and Colin of course.. :) Now I happen to be totally glamour stuck and movie mad, so I was intrigued. I quickly looked up the movie site http://www.lastlegion-movie.com/ and played the trailer. It was interesting, ... Continue Reading

The Tenacious D site stands out, both from a design and content point of view. The sense of humour, as expected always in a Jack Black movie translates very well onto this site. Being a rock music fan, I dig this a lot! Features that I liked are The horned image giving a 'Loaded' shout, when a page loads itself Satan's VCR Tongue in cheek astrology section Do visit this site and take a look... PS:I tried embedding the VCR code into WP, but the code is just not pasting from clipboard. Would appreciate any kind of technical help from the readers on this.. Thanks. Continue Reading
