¶ This category will contain all my movie reviews. I don't have the fortitude to write traditional reviews so I'll take a character from a movie, though it could be an object or an animal, and write a fictionalized first person chronicle of the film. It's an ongoing experiment of sorts. You may subscribe to the First Person Reviews feed by clicking the the link you just passed.

TIOTI - TiVo for the Web? (A Review)

¶ Published Friday, April 20th at 1:18 am ∞ In Entertainment, T.V., InternetNo Comments »

Yesterday I got an invite from the guys at TIOTI to beta test their system. I duly went about the drill and here are my brief thoughts.
TIOTI stands for Tape It Off the Internet. It is a site that’s targeted at TV shows and provides Bit-torrent links to download shows off the net. I’m […]

Heh. Surprisingly Eric Cartman hardly has a role in it.

Grindhouse - A Review

¶ Published Monday, April 9th at 10:30 am ∞ In Reviews, Movies, EntertainmentNo Comments »

From the reports I’ve read, Grindhouse, the Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino double feature is to be split into two movies and released (outside of the US) separately, two months apart. The stupid reason QT gives is that, people who live outside the US wouldn’t know or relate to the idea of Grindhouse and hence […]

Joost - A review

¶ Published Friday, April 6th at 10:07 pm ∞ In Joost, Entertainment, Internet, Technology6 Comments »

A review of Joost was long time coming. I had posted earlier on how it could revolutionize the way couch potatoes sit on couches and the way it could change the whole ratings system and TV programming in general. Last week I got an invite after a really, really long time to test the beta […]

Sanjaya, I’ve never cringed more

¶ Published Friday, March 30th at 9:52 am ∞ In Entertainment, T.V.4 Comments »

I have never been a fan of reality TV. And most of all I can still never get myself to watch American Idol. Yet when something crazy (where crazy is the biggest understatement in this case) happens, it becomes hard to ignore. Gentle readers, do not worry, I am yet to watch an episode of […]

Hugh Laurie’s Love for Steffi

¶ Published Thursday, March 22nd at 12:40 am ∞ In Entertainment, General Rubbish, Videos, T.V.No Comments »

He is the main reason I watch House. Two consecutive Golden Globes is no mean achievement (depending on how you view the awards). I knew he could play the piano. But never knew he could sing as well as play the guitar. Multi-talented, he sure is. This video shows a much younger Hugh […]

Featured Pleasures

¶ Published Thursday, March 8th at 3:27 am ∞ In Movies, Entertainment, ComicsNo Comments »

It’s a relief! Tiring week that. After coming through unscathed with a few scars, it remains to be seen if things go to plan. You know the kind of plans people make during extremely busy periods for the good times that are just round the corner? The things students say while preparing for their semester […]

Open Source Colas and Naughty Old Gates

¶ Published Monday, February 19th at 8:38 am ∞ In Entertainment, General Rubbish, Internet, Technology4 Comments »

Yes it is precisely that. Funny this is what some random tag surfing brought me to. I’ve heard jokes about outsourcing where people talk about outsourcing almost any kind of service however insane, but not many about open source stuff. But this one beats it all!
If you’ve been to a computer show in recent months […]

The next big thing

¶ Published Thursday, February 15th at 11:18 pm ∞ In Entertainment, T.V., Internet, Technology4 Comments »

The internet has slowly and surely crawled into my psyche and it is little wonder that I can live in peace even if I didn’t have a T.V at home. To be a bit more specific, it is Web 2.0 that has really brought about this change from a couch potato to a ermm… laptop […]

Freedom at last! (Hence the delirium)

¶ Published Tuesday, December 19th at 7:53 am ∞ In Movies, Entertainment, Graduate Life, General Rubbish5 Comments »

This is going to be really random so brace yourselves.
 
The semester got over, and they are absolutely right when they say, “I don’t mind taking tests as long as I don’t get to see the results”. No sooner did feelings of the new found freedom sink in, than the reality of facing a month without […]
