Movie Reviews


There are two ways of disliking art. One is to dislike it. The other is to like it rationally. -- Oscar Wilde

I am a voracious movie watcher. So when I created
my first blog I had an intense urge to review the movies
I swam through. And I did it. But after may be 5 to 6
reviews I had to give it up.

In my grad school I had "Introduction to English Literature"
as one of my optionals. The teacher always preached and
practiced her motto of "Never classify a piece of literature
as good or bad. Analyze it." That's what she wanted us to
do in exams. I did that too. And though I always enjoyed
the class, I still classify a work of literature as good or bad.

I am yet to learn how to dissect a piece of art. Art is either
enjoyed or left aside. Analyzing art is analyzing a woman.
Both of them are mysterious in nature, and versatile.
Analysis can be applied to objects or rules which are
static in some way.

Now don't analyze this post, alright?
