Heathers


I was watching Friends season 7 and there comes an episode where Rachel talks about kissing a girl during her college friend and the friend indeed was beautiful. At that time I just noted to find out who it was.

The next day randomly I chose the movie Heathers for a Saturday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised for couple of reasons. One the movie featured the same actress whose name I wanted to check out from Friends and two the movie itself was a different experience.

The movie had a chick film look all the way but dealt with some very scary moments. The movie features Winona Ryder, who is absolutely gorgeous. Christian Slater who plays the male lead reminded me our own Sharukh Khan. There is very high probability Khan as picked up some mannerisms from Slater.

The movie revolves around the life of teenage folks in a school and there are in total three Heathers in the movie. The movie dealt with Suicides and Murders in a very different way without making it look gory. In fact it gives it a comic feel.

The movie also reminded me of the Japanese movie Suicide which dealt with Suicide in a serious manner.

Confusion

There are lot of things to write about but at the same time there is nothing much to write about. Whatever I am going to say has already been said and its difficult to be non repetitive.

How can there be a post without my favorite topic Chennai. It just drizzled in Chennai and Chennai transforms into Venice. For the water starved Chennaites rains brings misery instead of cheer. When you wake up and notice its raining outside you can already feel that sick feeling in your stomach.

Traffic comes to standstill and roads have potholes that can trip T-Rex.

On Kochadaiiyaan teaser, to be frank I never had any hopes that this movie will even see daylight. I still feel the same as we haven't been shown anything significant. There can be two reasons why nothing is being revealed. One the film has really come out magnificently and they genuinely want to maintain secrecy, two there is no movie except for 2 or 3 stills and 10 sec teaser. It's time to see some really good movie from Rajinikanth which hasn't been happening for sometime.
