The Lincoln Lawyer Quietly Became One of the Most Consistent Shows on Television

By
The Lincoln Lawyer Seasons 1-4 Review Spoiler Warning: This article contains spoilers for Seasons 1 through 4 of The Lincoln Lawyer. In an era where television series either collapse under their own ambition or disappear after one good season, The Lincoln Lawyer has quietly done something impressive. It stayed consistently engaging across multiple seasons while maintaining the spirit of the original novels better than most modern adaptations. The series never tries to reinvent itself into prestige television. Instead, it understands exactly what it is supposed to be: intelligent legal drama with strong character chemistry, layered cases, and season long tension that keeps moving forward naturally. Across four seasons, that formula has worked remarkably well. One of the Better Book Adaptations in Recent Television One of the strongest aspects of The Lincoln Lawyer is its fidelity to the books by Michael Connelly....

Sajna hai mujhe : : How not to remix a song

By
A beautiful song was part of the movie Saudagar (1973). Sajna hai mujhe sajna kai liye. That song was filmed in a very straightforward yet elegant manner.  While the same song's remix was released pretty late and included with a video. The latest video was given all the shades of modern parlor and included a lot of psychedelic stuff. However that was not the original intention (or even if written by a later day poet) of the poet. The song is supposed to be by a girl who is getting ready all by herself as indicated by the following lyrics.
Phool Si Mahek Uthoon Main Khilke
Titali Se Pankh Udhaar Loon
Har Ang Ka Rang Nikhaar Loon, Sajna Hai Mujhe 

Then showing smoking girl totally spoils the whole show and renders the video totally worthless.The total makeup being a tattoo makes it sound absurd and totally out of sync with the lyrics of the song.

    you are very right about both videos ....but what i think is that what poet wanted to convey was that real beautiful feeling that a woman nutures for the one she loves.....that how important is he that she wants herself to look the best when she meets him.......any ways good analysis!!

Zeitgeist the movie :: wonderful but lacking

By
Zeitgeist the movie is a three part movie series about  the following topics Part 1: The greatest story ever told Part 2: All the world's a stage Part 3: Don't mind the men behind the curtain Part 1: The greatest story ever told This part deals with the history of  Christianity and world religions only in context. The story starts with the Egyptian religion and how it managed to survive and appear in modern religions (especially Christianity). Even if this story is fake or half truth but the way the movie presents the links between Egyptian religion and astrological facts and Christianity is really mind blowing.  Part 2: All the world's a stage The story of 9/11 and conspiracy theory behind it being an insider job is analyzed. The analysis seems objective and hits the bull's eye as far as the analysis is concerned. The screening is a bit of over-dosage of "pancake effect". The idea could have been briliant had zeitgeist been launched before Fahrenheit 9...

Fountain ::: Brilliant Movie

By
Fountain staring Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz is an interesting story about three ages, love and death while the tag line says it all "Death frees every soul". The movie is nicely written and done well. However it could not get a lot of good response on box office because of the topic it deals with. Most importantly it takes the tree of life idea and moves onto attack on inquisition and subsequently dealing with such subjects as Mayan Religions and Buddhist ideas. Therefore the movie has very little appeal to people belonging to Abrahamic religions rather on the contrary they can find faults in it. The story's depth arises from the inability to discern what happened at the end of the story. One is left to wonder whether it was all fiction or it was reality? The three time lines are wonderfully wound up. On the whole the movie is good but to a very limited audience.

Aisha :: Jane Austen's Emma comes to India

By
Aisha's screen play is based on the story by Jane Austen so no problems there at all. The indianization of script was not only necessary but also increases the appeal. The only problem with the movie is its depiction of the new Indian elite. The movie seems largely influenced by TV series and in the process the shopping scenes look more like in a Hollywood movie than Bollywood. The songs are good and ring in the mind long time after the movie. Most of the actors in the movie were at ease with their characters. The reasons probably were that not much was demanded in terms of portraying the character except that of Abhay Deol. Deol did a wonderful job and seems destined to be a good actor if not greatness. Sonaam Kapoor's character was not very much demanding but she does well slipping into the character. The character's late scenes where the need to show acting prowess sonaam does an ok job. It wont be a character to remember nor would the movie. If one has not read the no...
