What I'm reading right now

Okay this is one of those lazy posts - where I just let you guys know whats coming next!!
Here's the list:

1) Bone Shaker by Cherie Priest  - a zombie novel about a town destroyed by a mean machine and has led to leakage of a poisonous gas that converts the alive into "undead" - which gets sealed up (duh!) and a boy's mission to prove his dad innocent, by going back into this ghost town filled with the undead ( called Rotters!)
Trust me, its been heavy going for me. with the work-man like prose and dreary descriptions of action-scenes that almost make you feel that nothings happening with the plot. Will let you know when ( and IF!) I finish.


2) Memories of Ice - Part 3 Malazan Empire of the Fallen series - the awesome awesome series that put the word "epic" back into epic fantasy. Hugely sprawling and immensely huge cast of gods, humans, non-gods, and a countless number of super cool "races" that abound the world. I have to go back and try the re-reading of the Malazan series thats been happening on TOR.com. Am frankly struggling to tie back in the pieces of jigsaw puzzle thats one helluva laarge one :D

3) I sure want to get my hands on part 5 of the awesomest fantasy series ever written of course. still waiting for Dance with Dragon- my pre-order copy comes to me in Aug ( yeah, sadly after the whole world has done with "spoiler-less" reviews of this one :D )

Oh yes - I also finished one of the most enjoyable books ever - Gentlemen Bastards Series, opening, Lies of Locke Lamora.


Wait for the reviews. Coming Soon!!

Movie Review: Raees (Hindi)

Here's a fact: I removed SRK from that pantheon inside my mind a few years back. Since he cannot stop doing that grand-romantic-gesture of his, hands stretched out, upper body bent at the waist with that stupid cocky dimpled grin on his face never wiped off. They kept saying he should learn to play his age and take a leaf out of Aamir Khan's book, maybe play a 'real' character instead of the same old superstar version of himself in every romantic movie. Even Salman Khan has learnt to take a beating ('Sultan') and toned himself down, not playing the Bhai, even trying to emote a bit. So maybe this one's a start; for the legions of disappointed SRK 'fans' to get back to cheering. I truly sat up and was pleasantly surprised at this 'transformed' SRK; Shah Rukh gets his teeth right into the meat of this titular character of Raees, a small-time bootlegger in Gujarat where liquor is of course prohibited, in his latest movie, directed by

Avengers: Infinity War - Movie Review

Well, the superbowl of super-hero movies is finally here - Avengers Infinity War !! And it is smashing all sorts of box-office records since its release weeks back. I jumped onto this a bit late as I was traveling the release weekend and so I sensibly avoided all social media till last Thursday when I finally managed to watch it on the big screen. And hells come alive, a good thing too! Because this was it - This behemoth record-smashing epic culmination of the last ten years of Marvel movies. This was where the last eighteen MCU movies were leading up to.  This giant throw-down where all our favourite heroes across space and time come together to pit their wills against one mean megalomaniacal purple war-monger tyrant named Thanos ( Who's been in the shadows for far too long without his due!) to save the universe. We know there's trouble brewing because Thanos has got his own brand of justice for this world, where resources are getting scarce and people are anyways dyi

Movie Review: Charlie

Image
Foreword: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to another moony monday. Today I present to you a brand new feature,  Monday Movie Mania !! (Ahem, that name is something I just thought up, so hey this might not be a recurring feature.  Don't hold me to this!) When was the last time you enjoyed a movie where the hero is a bearded man-child who is a vagabond and hates responsibilities and lives the free happy life of a hippie. (Don't we all men yearn for this!) Where the heroine is a bright-eyed idealist who falls in love with the idea of a ghost based on a graphic novel. (Do girls like to be like this, I wonder?) And the story? A twisted pretzel of a meandering journey through bohemian lakeside towns and misty hill-stations laden with tea-estates and quaint old-age homes. Possibly never before. Yesterday night, I watched one of the biggest money-spinners of the 2015 Malayalam film industry - a movie called Charlie starring Dulquer Salman and Parvathy .  A truly spell-binding w
