| Last-minute Oscar predictions | |
| The Oscars are a few hours away, and I'm giddy about the fact that I've seen all five nominated films, and a lot of the others.

| How singers go bad | |
| After Ray, I never thought I would watch another musician /singer /guitarist/ drummer /whatever-biopic. Reasons?A: There is never much of a tight plot. It's a thing about biographies. B: Stuff is predictable. Humble beginnings, good souls, sudden and well deserved recognition, fame, corruption, drugs, adultery, broken families, decline, fall, and t...

| Syriana rocks, but Clooney? | |
| I watched Syriana yesterday, and was pretty much blown away by it.Stephen Gaghan's extremely intelligent film, while presenting an interesting perspective on the Mid-East, coasts perfectly as a well paced thriller, and the characters are very well-written. Those with a keen grasp on international affairs will have much to say about the film, while ...

| I thank Tom Cruise... | |
| Oscar acceptance speeches are usually melodramatic and unimaginative, but every year a couple of winners steal the show with razor-sharp wit.A particularly fine example was Michael Caine, when he won Best Supporting Actor in 2000 for The Cider House Rules, beating out, among others, Tom Cruise for Magnolia.[continued] And to Tom Cruise, for if you ...

| Worst Oscar decision? | |
| While the Oscars are admittedly the biggest award in showbiz, they often goof up.And the gaffes have been huge. Alfred Hitchcock and Martin Scorsese never won a directing trophy; Titanic picked up 11 awards.What do you think is Oscar's biggest mistake ever?The one that personally gets me the most riled was in 1994. When the groundbreaking Pulp Fict...

| RESTORE LAKES |
| Restoration of lake bodies in our cities is gaining importance and there are very few lakes left in our cities which have not fallen a prey to urbanisation. One such lake is the Chetpet Lake in Chennai on Poonamallee High Road in Chennai. I would request all rediffiland.com bloggers to form a pressure group to impress the Chennai City Corporation t...

| Surreal lunacy with a fun filmmaker |
| When you write a negative review, there is almost always backlash. Most of you who have read me before do thus realise I'm not the most popular man in Bollywoodland -- to say nothing of Rediff's messageboards -- and there are filmmakers who loathe me, having taken a review too personally.Anyway, last week I wrote a column about Anurag Kashyap and h...
