The Walk: Movie, Watch it you must, Watch it you Will

There are a few movies in life that you must watch it again and again and again.

The Walk is certainly one of them.

In its execution, The Walk may not even be gripping cinema, but you may want to experience, the quiet assurance with which the wirewalker executes the walk between the Twin Towers. 

You may Involuntarily get tense and shut your eyes. Believe me you will find enough courage to open your eyes and with bated breath, see the wirewalker take a bow at the audience down below and you will be enthralled when the he lies on his back to watch the skies. 

The equanimity of the execution is probably the calling in his life.

May we all get inspired,  discover our own Zones and find our calling!!!

Mr. Zemeckis, Thank you Sir for this wonderful gift to humanity


The Martian: Ridley Scott and Matt Damon, Inspiration Unlimited

The fact that at 78, Ridley Scott, after directing a demanding Exodus: Kings and Gods, finds the energy to execute The Martian, puts him in the same league as other kids!! like the late Sidney Lumet and Clint Eastwood!!! 

In a society where attention span deficit is an epidemic, people like Scott must be workshipped for their ability crunch so much of detail and execute a movie with such clarity even  a lay may man could get orgasmic about Astrodynamics!!

Mr. Scott, May your tribe prosper!! 

Thank you for your wonderful offering, Nevertheless, your MatchStick men remains my favourite followed closely by Thelma and Louise.

Matt Damon continues to amaze me over and over again . Given his wooden face, I always wondered whether he would be able to emote when I first saw him in GoodWill Hunting. How wrong have I been!!!! It surprises me, how he manages to finds the muscles in his wooden face to bring out a whole range of emotions with very minimal effort. 

Matt, you are such a joy to watch. You made Martian all the more enjoyable. 

Watching Martian can be a humbling experience, not just the vastness of the universe, but the extraordinary progress made in science which has made Space travel possible, can leave you overawed!!!.

Well you may also feel like wanting to catch a slice of the book.

Puli(Tiger), Tamil Film: The Tigress leaves her stamp

It is the tigress that literally gets your attention back to an extraordinarily boring fare.

Sridevi is as magnificent as she alone can be.

Not only is her screen presence mind blowing, she just breezes through a masterclass in body language.

Evil oozing out of  her eyes and posture with a front incline with her elbows dangling back on to the throne on which she is seated, is a sight to behold.

The costumes elegantly drape her and to her credit Hansika looks distinctly older in some frames.

With her subtle variations in her expression bringing out distinctly different emotions,  the tigress just leaves you gasping and asking for some more.

Wow!!! Sridevi ka Jawaab Nahin!!!.
