sukanya i am living in japan after reading your article, i am nothin but all praise for you, for the details you have jotted down interspreading with all the necessary details. a special mention of praise for the all the chinese, japanese and korean you have written here. you are absolutely right bout every damn thing,but just like a killer in a suspense movie 'aapse ek galti ho gayi' 'THE EYE' is a Thai movie and not chinese. over and out.
Man are u Oracle herself or what ?!?! what a database man....Awesome...This aspect of movie review was most interesting..... Do part with your contact details ..... hope to bug and be bugged with more filmi-trivia. And yes also need to know more on where apart from joining the FTII can one have access to screnings of world cinema. If you are a part of any can you throw more light on it ?
Though I haven't seen Naina yet and can't judge how good or bad it is, I thoroughly agree with the core of what is said in this article. There are a lot of remakes of these latest rush of South Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) horror movies, but unless the original's subtle uncanniness is retained, it just won't work. Bolywood just will have to move on from the Ramsay brothers' ketchup drenched "Main Bhoot huin" times to the new era of horror movies.
Despite the very fact that viewers has liked the films which your critics has shredded to pieces. I fail to understand why even after so many adverse comments from readers your team never ever try to correct the way reviews are written. As I understand it is ofcourse not in your duties to see that film producer does not make any money so as it forces you to write a harsh critique on very first day of movie release. Why you just not provide a voting button next to movie name and let reader decide the rating. (You could classify the rating system as you like and may be multilevel rating for each of the so called technicality and scripts etc on which you bad mouth a movie) By the way the movie you refered as chinese in your review is actually a thai movie.
