Why Madame Bovary is the worst movie/book for school kids

2011-12-04T16:11:00.254-05:00

Madame Bovary, written by Gustave Flaubert, is the classical story of people who can't tell what they need from what they want. In this case, it's an overly ambitious desperate housewife (Emma Bovary played by Jennifer Jones in the 1949 classic) who decides that happiness is all about having affairs with rich men and bankrupting her husband. The literary merits notwithstanding, I'm surprised that

The Social Network Movie Review & Insights

2011-02-28T17:25:00.011-05:00

The Social Network was a fantastic movie, minus some suspension of disbelief. I have a more than 3 page long writeup on it that I plan to transfer here soon. Until I do that, aside from the obvious Tyler Durden's Fight Club reference, let me leave you with one interesting insight - The movie starts with Zuckerberg's girlfriend Erica telling him that he is not a nerd, he is just an asshole. And

Jason X - Jason Voorhees meets Androids with nipples

2011-02-24T00:56:00.010-05:00

If Wolverine lived in our "real" world, he would probably be Jason. Wolverine would probably eat a lot - cholesterol and diabetes and stuff are non-issue for him - so, he would be a little fatter. And without Adamantium, Wolverine would most probably be carrying a machete around. Wolverine already is slightly psychopathic anyway and with that healing factor, he would probably see just how far he

Spider-man's web-shooters explained - Biological webbings or Artificial device?

2011-02-22T13:53:00.005-05:00

Vern recently raised this question - Should Spider-man have biological webbings built into his wrists or is it better if he used some artificial web-shooter devices attached to his wrist for shooting those webbings? For those who have no idea what's going on, lemme give you some background - As we all know, Peter Parker became Spider-man after getting bitten from an irradiated spider. What if

Enter The Dragon as Good Will Hunting - Script Improvements on Kien Shih's (Han) single dimensional character

2011-02-13T09:51:00.038-05:00

Continued from Why Enter The Dragon is Bruce Lee's worst movie... As I explained in the last installment, Enter The Dragon is a ridiculously bad movie. In fact, it's so bad that sometimes I've watched it just to get some laughs out of it. It has all the problems of all the Kungfu movies ever made but what really irked me is the main villain Han played by Kien Shih not only because a single

Why Enter The Dragon is Bruce Lee's worst movie

2011-02-11T19:57:00.013-05:00

Enter The Dragon is the movie in which Bruce Lee plays James Bond with Kungfu instead of gadgets!! Dear Bruce, if you're reading this from up there somewhere, please forgive me because you're not gonna like it! It begins with a bunch of Shaolin monks sitting around in multi colored robes watching Bruce Lee fight Sammo Hung. I don't know why Shaolin monks were dressed in primary colors instead of

Inception movie meaning explanation

2010-08-01T00:16:00.003-04:00

I want to write a *big* post for this movie but unfortunately my Internet us acting up so I'll just post the following points (a quick summary of what it means) - Alright, after thinking about it (inception) more and reading up on the Internet, I've finally finalized my views - 1) I always had a strong idea that Cobb wants to "escape" this "reality" in which he's away from his kids etc, so he

Transformers Revenge Fallen's weird plot

2009-07-05T21:52:00.011-04:00

So, I finally watched Transformers II aka Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and honestly, I had no idea just what the f--k was going on. I mean Transformers-I was basically about some bad robots that wanted to destroy earth with some All Spark thingy and some good robots that wanted to help humans; and Megan Fox was totally hot!. But in Transformers-II (Revenge of the fallen), the All Spark

Aliens movie plot analysis and alternate plot ideas!

2009-07-04T20:21:00.003-04:00

My apologies dear readers for being away for the last few months. Things have been hectic but also this year I haven't seen too many interesting movies so far. This is surprising because we were expecting two the biggest movies "of all times" - Watchmen and Wolverine's origins - this year, but neither lived to their promise. Anyhow, I am tempted to make a few comments on Aliens and as much as I

I'm like a bird lyrics & meaning - Nelly Furtardo's break up

2009-01-06T23:57:00.002-05:00

Nelly Furtardo happens to be one of the few singers who can really come up with a lyrics that actually means something! And by "means something" I'm not referring to "Madonna's Like a Prayer" mean something or worse "Madonna's Like a Virgin" mean something! Nelly's songs actually carry some serious meanings and substantial depth; my top favorite is "All Good Things"! This "I'm like a bird" is

Emma movie parody transcript

2008-12-30T17:41:00.004-05:00

So I recently watched Emma! Yeah, the one with Gwyneth Paltrow playing the english smartass girl Emma based on Jane Austen's novel! Here's what it looked to me - ACT I: Harriet Smith (Toni Collette): Ms. Woodhouse, I think Mr. Robert Martin (Edward Woodall) loves me. Emma Woodhouse (Gwyneth Paltrow): Don't even think about it, you gotta marry Mr. Elton (Alan Cumming). Harriet Smith: But Mr.

12 Must See Movies scheduled for release in 2009

2008-12-13T19:26:00.001-05:00

I was just going through my movie iPhone app looking at upcoming movies and it seems like 2009 is gonna be lots of fun with some major much awaited sequels scheduled for release.....here's a skinny on the few that I'm totally dying to watch -1) The Brazilian Job (release date - December 28 2008) : Looking at the cast seems almost like a mix of The Italian Job and Transporter. Yeah, it's got both

Kungfu Panda movie hidden meaning, insights, comments & aha moments

2008-12-08T22:27:00.004-05:00

So, Kungfu Panda turned out to be one of the most meaningful movies of 2008! It came as a surprise though as the trailers made it look like those kids movies in which a panda called Po (representing an obese individual) would be supposed to act weird and embarrass himself to make little children laugh and cheer! Nothing wrong with that "Disney" types genre but I'm just not into that stuff (any

Wall-E movie interpretation & hidden meaning

2008-12-08T20:01:00.004-05:00

So, Wall-E pretty much topped the charts for 2008! I, to be honest, was starting to get annoyed by all the "whirring" sounds and the dim possibility of the plot being about two robots falling in love on a dead planet but soon it became quite interesting. Towards, the end I started to feel that its almost like retelling the story of Bible! Yeah, curious isn't it! Let me elaborate on some of the

6 Quantum of Solace (James Bond in general) fun comments

2008-12-06T15:14:00.002-05:00

Some fun questions and comments that occurred to me when watching the movie (third time, yeah I liked it quite a bit).. 1) When does James Bond charge his cell phone? - Just think about it, he travels across continents without any luggage, clothes, bathing essentials and the like so obviously he doesn't carry the phone's charger (yeah that's just a Sony Ericsson model). So how does he charge

Quantum of Solace review. Comparison with other Bond movies. Daniel Craig's & Olga Kurylenko's characters

2008-12-06T12:44:00.005-05:00

Quantum of Solace - First things first, Daniel Craig is the best James Bond 007 ever! Pierce Brosnan was probably the worst choice as he simply lacked the charm that someone like James Bond must have! Others - George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Sean Connery - were alright but none of them have that kind of cold ruthlessness that Daniel Craig possesses. This applies even more to the

Watchmen movie - Zack Snyder - Alan Moore - 2009 March

2008-11-29T21:23:00.002-05:00

Finally Alan Moore's Watchmen (graphic novel) has its movie adaptation directed by the 300 famed Zack Snyder! The movie is scheduled for release March 2009 and honestly I'm dying to watch it! For those who are thinking what the fuss is all about - Watchmen is supposed to be the grandmother of all seriously kickass graphic novels out there written by Alan Moore (more of his works - In the Hell,

Madonna Like A Virgin meaning lyrics

2008-11-29T21:20:00.001-05:00

This is a tribute to Reservoir Dogs, one of the coolest movies ever! And well, we all know that "Like a Virgin" is among Madonna's top 10 songs ever! Here goes the real meaning (edited a bit to keep it PG13 ;P but all credit goes to Reservoir Dogs) - MR. PINK - Let me tell you what "Like A Virgin" is about. It's all about a girl who digs a guy with a big d--k. The entire song is a metaphor for

Troy (2004) - Achilles - Gods Envy Us

2008-11-29T11:31:00.005-05:00

"The Gods envy us. They envy us because we're mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed." --------------------------------------- The characters of Achilles and Hector as depicted in the movie Troy - down to earth, realiastic and turned out to be substantially better then the demi-god like ones in Illiad. It made the real story or plot of the

Zack Snyder's 300 movie parody script

2008-11-25T04:20:00.003-05:00

Ok, Now don't get me wrong, I loved the Zack Snyder's 300 movie .I also read Frank Miller's 300 graphic novel and liked it a lot .....That said, there ARE quite a few major inconsistencies..... that pretty much resulted in the below parody! If you could notice the hyper-idealistic nature of Spartans then this blog will make sense, if you are a die hard 300 fan then please don't piss off.....

4 Bizarre Kung Fu Panda movie plot holes comments

2008-11-24T21:09:00.002-05:00

Honestly now, some parts of the plot really struck me as beyond any level of dumbness even for a cartoon movie! (By the way, this is just for fun....I am also writing a more serious version in which I note some deep philosophical insights into Kungfu Panda movie....check it out here - Kungfu Panda movie hidden meaning, insights and aha moments) Below are a few of the worst ones starting from

TGIF - hidden meaning

2008-11-24T21:02:00.001-05:00

I know what y'll thinking - yeah, we know TGIF means "Thank God its Friday" so whats this post about! But well, the reality is that the term originally meant something quite different that might disgust and awe you at the same time! Yeah, the hidden meaning is - "Thank God I can F--k"....surprised? Yeah well, the world is full of surprises, ain't it! Don't believe me? Well you better do unless

Madonna's "Like A Prayer" - Hidden Meaning

2008-10-19T04:22:00.001-04:00

Ok, now I've always wondered what this song is about! Is it about "some girl's" love of God and praying and christianity etc! Or is it about anti-racism and stuff like! Some say that its simply and painfully obviously about her excitement at giving some huge brother a plain old BJ (if not more, that is!)! I don't know. So, below I tried to demystify a bit - (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

2008-10-19T01:48:00.001-04:00

Greetings reader! I started this blog just to blog about some fun stuff like music, songs, lyrics, movies, books and all the good stuff that's meant to be a unjustifiable monetary waste for both you and me! I mean, honestly now, my blog is never gonna get so popular as to generate even a penny so considering "time is money", any amount of time spent on it is a blatant waste of money! As for you,
