Moobhi Review- Piku Emotion in Motion

Shoojit Sircar has written a love poem to the saga of probashi Bongalis, Kolkatta longing and the fine yet quixotic and sometimes insular Bong culture. He has relied on shortcuts and stereotypes to finish the story in the time alloted. Deepika looks great with Kajal laced Bengali Eyes, but someone needs to tell her to get accent training. Irrfan can act better with his eyes and mouth closed, than Karan Johar can act with his entire body.

Amitabh Bachchan just disappears into his role as Bhaskar Da. Moushmi Chatterjee lifts occasional sag into the story pace. What a nice story? If only non Bengalis knew more about their culture than just Bengali sweets.

  ps- I know Hadley's convenient wrappR  packages are all the rage now, but nothing, i repeat

 nothing beats Frank Harell and Ripley's cool packages

Google Plus remains a buggy shoddy social network

Bitch, I need my social network.

Just adding Google plus tieing to other google products like Maps or ahem Google Ingress, well you are just like Microsoft tieing Internet Explorer.

Steve Jobs was right- you are just like Microsoft

Mad Max Movie Review : Why Fury Road is so awesome

They didnot use computer generated effects, they used human generated effects.
They made sure 3D was actually realistic and not just a rip off to charge more money.
Tom Hardy and Theron are awesome actors. So are Hoult. No the splendid wifey was not a splendid actress again.
The same director and the same villain as 1979! movie
Design ! Design !
Witness the V8 riding off to Valhalla.
The sound track was actually appropriate to the context and delivered!
Double guitar throwing flames from a guitarist suspended in air in a truck full of speakers and drum players!
Mechanical Engineering is much more cool than Computer Science engineering in terms of visual effects :-p
I wish Mel Gibson had made a cameo. or Tina Turner!
