		<description><![CDATA[And continuing with my new-found interest in old movies, I watched An American In Paris last week and I must say, the film is a complete carnival!
And not in a good way. It’s as if MGM (the studio) took all their best dancers, musicians, costumes and sets and poured them into this one production, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently met someone who loves talking movies; a regular guy who is neither a film-maker nor a critic, but appreciates films with a vengeance. It reminded me of the films I grew up with. So, on a whim I downloaded Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and chuckled at Dick Van Dyke’s shenanigans, for the 100th [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Costa Coffee at Green Park sprung a couple of surprises. The fellow behind the counter who took the order communicated with his colleague rather efficiently, in sign language. As the latter prepared my takeaway, I walked towards another trooper who was whipping up a cappuccino. He motioned towards the sugar and the stirrer, his [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Class 8, I wanted to order a copy of Dirty Dancing from the local video library (VCR format!). My mother who paid the video tab did not approve; the title was suggestive, and not appropriate for a 13-year old. But to give her credit, she did not deny me the movie. She  screened it, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I would definitely like to sit through Kaminey, all over again. This flick paces itself at the beginning, gains momentum and climaxes with a mighty crescendo. Most critics have discussed that the film is reminiscent of Tarantino’s style, and how old Bollywood wine of two brothers in arms, is edgily recast in a new bottle, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finally watched that terribly tacky musical called Mamma Mia! starring Meryl Streep in the lead role. The lady has won several Oscars, but dear lord, she cannot sing!
The worst song in the film, is most definitely Streep’s rendition of The Winner Takes It All; she wails like a banshee and gesticulates so wildly to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finally watched Gone With The Wind, once again after more than a decade. I spent many waking hours devouring the book during my school days, in the quiet confines of the one and only loo at our flat in Darsait (Oman).
Pop highly disapproved of my hogging precious loo time, to read those ‘novels’. Incidentally, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Saif Ali Khan overacts and Deepika Padukone hams her way through most of the film. But the new girl who essays the role of Harleen, brings some relief to this never ending, insipid journey parading as a new-age relationship.  
Initially, we thought she was model Diana Penty aka her flawless complexion. But we discovered [...]]]></description>

The food was yum (lamb shanks, Lebanese kebabs &#8216;n&#8217; more tenderloin lamb), the mojito did not have obscene amounts of [...]]]></description>
