  • The Haasan Sis Best Dressed for GQ and Shamitabh

    *snort* I did confuse Shruti thinking it was lil’ sister Akshara for a moment there. They don’t look alike, though, just a pure brain fart. Anyway, big sis Haasan stopped by this year’s GQ Best Dressed party wearing… not a femme suit! LOL It’s not as badass as, let’s say, Sammi Cheng in Cannes… but it calls your attention in between all the dresses. Coat needs a little tailoring, a sharper collar, and a tighter tie knot.

    It’s really lil sis Akshara who can rock the cool look. I was over the moon with her hair in Shamitabh. And I’m not the only one. Whoever pull off the look in the film, brilliant. She does look a lot like Kamal Haasan, though. She’s got the perennial sad look in her eyes, and she’s got funky ears! She had sass, though. It can be promising.

  • These TV Girls and their Dreadlocks

    *swoon*

    Sense8 really took me back to As If. xD

  • The Last 15 Years of Oscar According to Amy

    One go, not much thinking and over-thinking. Yup, this looks about right.

    amys-15-years-of-oscar
    • 2000 – Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
    • 2001 – Moulin Rouge!
    • 2002 – Gangs of New York
    • 2003 – The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (because I have to)
    • 2004 – Finding Neverland
    • 2005 – Munich
    • 2006 – Letters from Iwo Jima
    • 2007 – There Will Be Blood
    • 2008 – The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
    • 2009 – District 9
    • 2010 – Toy Story 3 (because you HAVE TO)
    • 2011 – Midnight in Paris
    • 2012 – Life of Pi
    • 2013 – 12 Years a Slave
    • 2014 – Boyhood

    I struggled a little with LotR and (maybe) Toy Story, but I’ll give it to them anyway~ I’m also a bit lukewarm about Finding Neverland and Midnight in Paris, and I totally warmed up to Life of Pi… though I don’t mind Argo. With Boyhood over Whiplash (despite me liking the other one better xD), it makes the list a lot more larger than life.

  • Work it, Tabu! Work those shoes~

    Well, this week has been an active Tabu week~ first, news that Rekha had backed out of Abhishek Kapoor’s Great Expectations adaptation, Fitoor, and having Tabu land on the gig. Then the hindi Drishyam team teased a shot of Tabu in cop get-up in prep for the release of the trailer (my gosh, the movie promotion machine these days). I think they also announced Manoj Bajpayee’s and Tabu’s upcoming film Missing [1], while putting in on the table that Tabu will be playing Katrina Kaif’s sister in Fitoor and not a crazy aunt. Ha, they look nothing alike. Reminds me of Chinese movie-casting.

    Phew. I think I covered my basis.

    Tabu is going to eat people alive on that set. I know Cuaron’s version is not very popular, but I love it.

  • Pricey Time of Eve

    Yasuhiro Yoshiura’s Time of Eve is one of my favorite animations of the decade so far, though I do prefer the series, I think. I don’t know how I missed the Kickstarter, though I’ve grown tired of them and it brings the Time of Eve release at the same price of the Japanese release. Sighs. Japanese products.

    But look at this beauty~

    The ones offered through Amazon, do not offer shipping to my location :( but The Time of Eve Shop does… at a kinda expensive price. Nearly $20 USD in shipping!

  • Furiosa: Charlize Theron You Badass You

    Yes!

    FURY ROAD

    Super spoiler free review of Mad Max: Fury Road available.

    Furia en el Camino also available.

  • Bless your Luna Papa Hearts~

    These are by far the best stills I’ve found of the film- I don’t know how it happened, but I found them in this Cineplex Taiwanese blog. They are a thing of beauty, and I’ve learned my lesson… so I’m taking and re-posting. I’ve lost many a-movie-still for not keeping an archive. They even got an amazing quality of -possibly- my favorite scene in the movie~

    luna-papa-001

    Oh, thank you, bless their hearts. Does anybody know if there’s any plans for a re-release of the film in Bluray (with English subtitles) because I would die. I WOULD DIE.

  • It’s As Good As Dancing Queen

    That is all, Toni~

    muriels-wedding-abba-dancing-queen

    Since I’ve met you and moved to Sydney… I haven’t listened to one ABBA song. It’s because now my life’s as good as an ABBA song. It’s as good as Dancing Queen.

  • I’m Winging Zhao Wei’s Tiger Mom

    … and you gotta wing it like a ninja with all these geoblocking business.

    zhao-wei-tiger-mom

    Actually- I don’t think Tiger Moms would approve of winging something, but Chinese skills would need to be improved forcefully because Tiger Mom (虎妈猫爸) ain’t getting subbed nor fansubbed alright, because that’s how C-fans deal. You want to enjoy all these fancy movies, cdramas and cmusic, you better learn Chinese alright~

    I feel Zhao Wei encouraging claps.

  • Bollywood’s Modern 90s Throwback with Dum Laga Ke Haisha

    I think… in contrast to last year, I might be liking Dum Laga Ke Haisha much better than movies like 2 States or Queen. It’s modern like those two dealing with issues, it’s got as strong acting (though Queen had the disadvantage of foreign acting, which always tends to be the weakest link anywhere in the world), but it’s much fresher in style with its honest 90s Bollywood throwback. And thank you gods that there was no bumping electro-dance disco song.

    It’ll need to simmer, but it looks good for YRF at the moment.
