  • The Shining - Yikes!!!

    I finished seeing this movie at 2am. So I need not say it gave me quite a fright. Stanley Kubrick once again proved his inimitable mastery at film making with this film. Even though the movie deals primarily with paranoia and clairvoyance, it also makes subtle references to child abuse.

    Jack Nicholson never ceases to amaze us. His portrayal of the insane father is one of the backbones of the movie. The slow build-up of the plot showing ghastly forebodings ensures that the audience stays glued to the screen till the end.

    Many of the scenes in the movie like the outburst of blood from the lift, and Jack's insane smile through the split open door lingers in your mind long after the movie is finished.

    The Shining is clearly horror films at there frightening best.

  • Chappa Kurishu - A commendable effort.

    Well, it hurts to say that I saw this movie in an almost empty theater. This movie could be included in the category of those which are trying to make a so called 'new wave' in Malayalam cinema. But I should say it went a little overboard. This movie may not please the average malayali cine buff. He may find it a little too raw and stylish.

    The main characters Arjun and Ansari are played well by Fahad Fazil and Vineeth Sreenivasan respectively. Ample backup is given by Remya Nambeesan. The music by Rex Vijayan is passable. The highlight of the film is the impressive camera work and the fight sequence.

    This movie is surely a deviation from the normal clichéd Malayalam movies but there was scope for much more from the story. Such movies may not be groundbreaking or trend setting but it sure does pave the way for future ones. Hats off to the director Sameer Thahir for bravely handling a sensitive storyline like Chappa Kurishu.
