It’s that time of the year again. You know what I’m talking about — the time when I come out of hiding and start posting something to my blog again.

Truth be told, I’m feeling kinda guilty about keeping mum all this while, especially after seeing several movies worthy of comment. Trust me, “worthy of comment” does not mean “excel­lent”, “wonderful” or anything like that. Not neces­sarily, anyway.

Digging up memories from the past long gone, I remember watching Inglou­rious Basterds, which was an excel­lent movie. Sudden bursts of extreme violence that’ll make you retch, but excel­lent all the same. I had almost completely recov­ered by the time the movie ended.

Ever sat in a large kadai and spun around until you felt sick? The funny thing is, it doesn’t take more than a week for you to forget all about that feeling and do it again. That’s an analogy, if you’re wondering what the heck I’m talking about. The very next week I watched this spectac­u­larly awful movie called District 9. I know, I know — some people like it, but if you thought the movie was good, then listen to this: in my mind, that movie’s become the de facto standard for judging bad movies. For instance, when I staggered out of Totem Lake Cinema after a valiant battle against Dil Bole Hadippa!, my first words were, “God! What an awful movie! Almost as bad as District 9!”

Okay, so I made that last part up, big deal.

Then there was Julie & Julia. That was a movie about cooking, so you’ll under­stand why I won’t say much about it. I was as out of place in that movie theater as a duck in a cuckoo’s nest.

If you’re sensing a trend here, you’re wrong. I don’t always watch movies I don’t like. Don’t believe me? I watched this movie today called Zombieland which was incred­ibly enter­taining. QED.
