Monika’s Pensieve

This is really lame, but give Rupert Grint a funny line to say and he almost always gets me giggling *grin*

And here’s another one, Daniel Radcliffe and his quick responses to questions ;)

There’s a lot of very interesting young actors and actresses in the Harry Potters films. Robert Pattinson is certainly not the only one ;) Another guy that turned some (female) heads was Christian Coulson in the second film as the teenage Voldemort. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like that has benefited him much. From what I [...]

There’s this very weird (and pretty bad) Indian art house film with Shahrukh from 1995, which is called Oh Darling! Yeh Hai India (literal translation: “Oh Darling! This is India”). The reason it’s called that is that throughout the film anything strange that happens is followed by that line. When I watched the clip below, [...]

I’m getting more and more excited about the film - can’t wait until it finally makes it into cinemas here!
I’ve been trying to follow the response in India and it’s quite peculiar. On the one hand there’s a lot of praise for Danny Boyle and a lot of excitement about A. R. Rahman’s Golden Globe [...]

I came across the video below today… It’s a kind of dinner thing that he did in New Jersey in 2005 and I guess I somehow found it particularly amusing cause it feels a bit like he’s doing American style stand-up comedy.

You may remember I spotted a very strange creation that involved India, China and the USA together. Chandni Chowk to China has done reasonably well from what I’ve gathered, but the response is a bit mixed.
It’s pretty much the first Bollywood film ever to be marketed at non-Indians in the USA and it received a [...]

The ban on smoking in films, which India introduced in 2005, has now been lifted.

I’m completely not used to seeing Shahrukh taking any kind of political stands - he’s the guy, who always wiggles out of making any definitive comments on anything political. So it’s a surprise to discover he’s been making a very strong one recently… Or maybe it just seems strong to me because he doesn’t usually [...]
