MOVIE REVIEW- CUJO



Cujo (1993)
Director: Lewis Teague
Starring: Dee Wallace, Daniel Hugh-Kelly, Danny Pintauro

This movie is based on one of the many critically acclaimed Stephen King novels by the same name. Cujo is a horror show where you find a friendly St Bernard who gets infected by the Rabies Virus and starts exhibiting aggression and restlessness. The abnormal behaviour worsens as the virus infection intensifies and Cujo becomes a threat to people around. When it comes to Survival movies Stephen King truly knows the knack for creating them with the blend of mystery, horror, and unpredictability.

ஸ்டிபென் கிங் நாவலை தழுவி எடுக்கப்பட்ட திரைப்படம். அன்போடு பழகி வந்த ஒரு செல்ல பிராணிக்கு வெறிநாய்க்கடி நோய் (ரேபிஸ்) என்று சொல்லப்படக்கூடிய நோய்க்கிருமி தொற்றிக்கொள்கிறது. நோயின் வீரியம் அதிகரிக்க, கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சமாக அந்த பிராணியின் செயல்பாடுகளின் மாற்றங்களையும் , அதனால் அதனை சுற்றி உள்ளவர்களுக்கு ஏற்படும் ஆபத்தையும் திகில் கலந்த கதைக்களத்தில் பிரதிபலிக்கிறது இந்த திரைப்படம் . உயிர் பிழைக்க போராடும் கதாபாத்திரங்கள் கொண்ட கதைகளை படைப்பதிலும் , அதிலிருக்கும் ஒவ்வொரு பகுதியிலும் அச்சமூட்டும் சம்பவங்களை புகுத்துவதிலும் ஸ்டிபன் கிங் ஒரு தனித்துவம் வாய்ந்த படைப்பாளி என்பதை உணர்த்தும் மற்றோரு திரைப்படம் இது என்றே கூறலாம் .

THE CASTLE OF HOPE AND FAITH!

THE CHARIOT OF OUR ANGELS!   After so many phases of colour transformations, finally, our bus has become yellow....Yellow????.sigh........ Anyway, I've seen blue with penguins but not this.  Sometimes I hate our buses for chasing us away with our books and lunch boxes during the casual turns...so much remodelling..so many cras.....ssshhhesss... oopsie!!! I didn't mean to say that...Well..now it's a vibrant bucket of bolts...good!                  THE GRAND GATEWAY!   It's hard for me to not keep thinking about our old watchman. Sharp at 8:45 these huge pair of gates would be closed.There would be a little door too...for other people to enter..and the notice board that you see right there always captivated us during monsoons....we'd wait for some holiday notes to be written so we could run back home. Emails or Phones or WhatsApp didn't exist then. Though these gates did scare us a few times...it very well taugh...

Endings, Beginnings

 The aftereffects of war are dire. I once saw a CBS 60-Minutes episode that gave a rundown on possible explorations of psychedelic-assisted therapies to manage PTSD in war veterans and soldiers. It discussed the possibilities of intense research and funding based on a handful of positive results. Our world grossly underestimates the damage a combat zone can inflict. This novel replayed those scenes through its sombre portrayal of the unspoken pain gnawing at a survivor who found his way home to Wigton from Burma. Life will never be the same for him or his family. An irreparable ripple effect disperses in his community. Even the nature in his native land, with its pristine waters and pastoral plains, couldn't find a cure for him. He's driven to escape again and runs towards an unknown territory with hopes of new beginnings. "The Soldier's Return" is a poetic dedication to numerous war heroes who rejected death but struggled to live. Once reaching a point of no retu...

MOVIE REVIEW-CLARA

Clara (2018) Director: Akash Sherman Starring: Patrick J. Adams, Troian Bellisario, Ennis Esmer, Kristen Hager, R. H. Thomson. After a long time, this is one Sci-Fi romance movie that I found to have had a novel approach to showcase. Let me jump right into the story. Issac is a researcher in Astrophysics who is on a quest to find exoplanets in the Universe where there is evidence for the existence of life beyond Earth. He teaches at the Ontario University. His tools are scientific datasets. He keeps mapping the datasets released by the TESS telescope to find out if there is any scientific result that can be obtained to prove the existence of exoplanets. His intense interest in figuring out things in the Universe also creates adverse effects on his personal life. He lives alone, separated from his wife, after losing their child during the labour. At this point, he is even pushed to use the University's resources unauthorised for his research. After this is known to his supervisors,...
