- Off to watch Paathshaala. They decided to show it to the press after all. I guess a sensible chat will always do the trick :-)
- Udaan: Produced by Anurag Kashyap, dir Vikramaditya Motwane (co-writer of Dev D, songs dir of Paanch, AD on Devdas and HDDCS).
- Cannes 2010: Vikramaditya Motwane's "Udaan" starring Ronit Roy confirmed to have made the cut, will be screened in "Un Certain Regard" sec.
- Woody Allen's "You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger" stars Naomi Watts, Antionia Banderas, Anthony Hopkins, Josh Brolin, Freida Pinto.
- Cannes lineup to be announced soon. Woody Allen's "You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger" will screen out-of-competition.
- Paathshaala: Altho after Dil Bole Hadippa n Chance Pe Dance how much worse can Paathshaala be? And after Agyaat, can Phoonk2 be much worse?
- Producers of Paathshaala and Phoonk won't show their films to reviewers. That's a lot of confidence in your work, guys!

- And now Martin Scorsese's just announced he's going to shoot his next film - The Invention of Hugo Cabret - in 3D.
- Just saw 'How To Train Your Dragon' in 3D. Best animation outside of Pixar. Beautiful, sweeping flight scenes. The stuff 3D was meant for!

- 90s films that shouldn't be remade: http://tinyurl.com/y3b688a
- What are you going to watch this weekend -- Paathshaala or Phoonk 2?
- Kevin Smith: Anyone read his books? 'My Boring Ass Life' - Felt like taking a bath after reading the filth he writes. At least its original.
- Cop Out: Only thing to tell you it's a Kevin Smith movie is all the filthy language!
- Cop Out: It's a (bad) throwback to those 80s buddy-cop movies. Some bits v funny, mostly just dull. Bruce Willis reduced to doing this?
- Cop Out: When Sean William Scott is the best thing about a film, you know it ain't good news!
- Just saw Kevin Smith's "Cop Out". Nothing like the quirky, hilarious, irreverent films he usually makes (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy).

- Akshay Kumar: And judging by his last few films: CC2C, Tasveer, Kambakht Ishq, Blue, De Dana Dan, the cameo career may not be a bad idea :-)
- Akshay Kumar shd be a professional cameo artiste. He has the best scene in 'Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai'. His 2nd killer cameo after OSO.
- Just saw Date Night. Steve Carrel & Tina Fey are too funny to be trapped in such a std comedy. Enjoyable if u find comfort in the familiar.
- Now here's a tough one - guess the film from the laugh: http://tinyurl.com/yb43p4b I'm off to drown myself. Got only 1 right out of 21. You?

- The Green Zone: Spking of Iraq war-themed films nothing beats the edge-of-seat tension of Hurt Locker. Too bad both films releasing same wk.
- The Green Zone: Interesting plot, love how Greengrass shoots everything handheld to take u into centre of action. Yet this is no United 93.
- Just saw 'The Green Zone'. Not a bad film at all, but haven't we reached an exhaustion point as far as Iraq war-themed films are concerned?
- 3D: Someone tell SRK to do Ra.One in 3D. Or Hrithik to do Krrish2 in 3D. You think 'Blue' might have been marginally tolerable in 3D? Naah!
- 3D: Remember Chhota Chetan in 3D? Loved every moment of it. They used it as a gimmick, but man, what solid good fun! Seen it so many times.
- 3D: Coming soon in 3D - Toy Story 3, Tron, Harry Potters 7 & 8, Shrek Forever After, Tintin, and many more that i cant seem to....
