Night Falls, Knight Reigns.

Dear Christopher, Christian, Heath ( rest in peace man),
My memories of watching Batman on TV or in the movies prior to ‘Batman Begins’ were mainly of Batman saying something witty, fluorescent lights and bright scenes, a dramatic and theatrical ‘Two Face’. But the more i read Batman comics, the more I hated those movies, because they [...]

Miss Misery

I just love this song by Elliot Smith. It’s from the movie ‘Good Will Hunting’ starring Matt Damon, Robin Williams, Ben Afleck and Minnie Driver. Somehow I relate to this song, and it’s sung beautifully.

Perhaps the most extraordinary ability of movies is that they make us dream. They give us hope, that things can be better and that there is something called as “good” which prevails relentlessly, infinitely and undoubtedly. I recently watched “Dead Poets Society”, starring Robin Williams and Ethan Hawke. It is about a preparatory school, rigid [...]
