Smalville s08e14 [Tv Show Review]



Oh My GOD!!! What an amazing episode.

Smallville has reached a new high in my books. Just when you think they’ve done it all, they come out and pull and extraordinary episode out of the bag.

The episode starts with a scene from the LuthorCorp building with a board of director meeting. Oliver shows up announcing that he has bought controlling share in the company. Just then a time bomb goes off killing everyone in the room except Oliver.

Olive suspects that the person behind the attack is Lex via a mastermind he fired several years ago. Chloe is able to track the toy maker down, just then Clark shows up and talks Chloe into giving him the information.

And behold it was Lex behind the bombing. But he doesn’t stop there. He has plans to separate Clark and Lana. The roof of the Daily Planet is rigged with enough kryptonite to take the whole city out. Lex gives them the option to either walk away or let Lana absorb the kryptonite which would make her a walking kryptonite rock never to be able to come close to Clark close.

Chloe had rigged a PDA, iphone, with a tracker to track Lex, she gives Clark that to track him down. Right after the scene from the roof of the Daily Planet, Clark furious runs to kill Lex. Lana comes in his way to stop him from doing something he will regret for his whole life of if not that then change him forever. During this conversation with a semi truck in the background where Lex is suspected to be, a bomb goes off killing Lex.

It turns out that the person behind the bombing is none other than Oliver Queen. Chloe discovers this and confronts Oliver, where he rationalizes Chloe into staying quite about him behind the bombing.

Back at the barn Clark finds Lana, unable to go close to her. Lana tells him that she is leaving, where Clark tries to stop her and approaches her. With all the kryptonite Lana has absorbed Clark struggles to get close to her and kisses her. The kryptonite starts to attack his mouth with Lana running away and saying goodbye with an I Love You.

A truly amazing episode, one for the books.

Until the next review,

Eddy Out!

LOST S05E04 [Episode Review]



This is one show, that keeps on getting better and better!! Wow, what an amazing episode yet once again! JJ Abrams deserves a pat on his back for probably putting up one of the best tv-shows of all time! Although this isnt the best episode in recent times of Lost but definitely one that does justice to the super intriguingly interesting season premiere! This episode revolves around all of the characters and unlike last time no one is left out!

Coming straight to the plot of the episode, We all by now know that the lawyer chasing Kate and Erin was actually working for none other than Benjamin Linus. It will be interesting how Kate will handle Jack and Sayid and talk them out of going back to the island with Benjamin.

In the last bits, Sun is shown with a gun sitting in the car with Erin. I have a feeling she'll go out and attack Benjamin rather than Kate (the way they showed it, it seemed at one point she'll go after Kate). But if Sun goes on to attack Kate, what would happen with Erin?

Its great to see Jin being rescued by some Frenchmen on a rescue boat near an island. What is even more freaky is the fact that amongst the french team there is woman none other than Danielle Rousseau!! Wow that scene really freaked me out! Therefore, Jin like the other survivors on the island is stuck in time flashes! and this time they all are back in the past again!!

Till the next episode...stay tuned :)

House MD [Episode Review] S05E14 "The Greater Good"



Aaaah, God!! what has happened to this show?? First they rip off Chase's role...now Cameron...next they'll probaby chop off Wilson's role and all what we would have would be the "annoying" love story of Foreman and Thirteen!! Hello, we are not watching Grey's Anatomy over here, this is House MD for heaven's sake...let it be like that!!

Another episode that has nothing so special or the special "House" ingredient in it! Coming straight to the case, the case talks about a retired doctor, researching on cancer cure, who now is suffering from an unknown disease...This episode adds a bit of excitement as it shows Thirteen going blind for a while and an immediate operation is required to remove a tumor.

The episode would have been great if they didnt cure Thirteen straight away so that we would have some sympathy for the bitch and looked forward to the next episode! The rest is the usual, House ultimately finds a cure...and everyone goes back home happily!!

This show has lost the edge it used to have on Grey's Anatomy or even ER. Its hard to imagine that this is the same season that gave us some AMAZING episodes pre-christmas and writer's strike. Lets hope the writers of the show stop thinking too much about their paychecks and give us a quality show!

Over and Out!!

Luck By Chance [Movie Review]




Luck By Chance, a movie that i was looking forward to for many reasons; a) Farhan Akhtar's 2nd movie as the lead actor after the successful and still fresh in memory - Rock On!! b) Zoya Akhtar's (Farhan's sister) directorial debut c) Great Supporting Cast d) and the special guest appearances.

Luck By Chance revolves around Farhan Akhtar's character Vikram who has come to join the Hindi Film Industry from Delhi. He finishes his acting diploma from an acting school in Mumbai and starts to look for work. He meets Sona (Konkana Sen Sharma) who is another struggling actor in the city.

As the title suggests the movie talks about luck and being there at the right place and at the right time. On one hand of the movie there is Konkana's character which is reflected by hardwork yet luck isnt very favourable towards her. On the other hand, there is Farhan who is also a hardworking struggling actor yet luck/destiny is favourable towards him.

When Zafar Khan (Hrithik Roshan) rejects Rishi Kapoor's production movie, an audition is set up to launch a new face opposite Nikki (Isha Sharwani)who plays the daughter of a bollywood diva Dimple Kapadia. Through various incidents/accidents driven by luck, Farhan Akhtar gets his hands on the audition and impresses all and finally bags the role of the lead actor.

Farhan is soon the new star on the block, but is facing problems dealing with his personal and professional life. In these events, he is unable to handle his relationship with Konkana well and is hesitant to accept his actual relationship status openly as it may affect his celebrity life.

Farhan Akhtar excels and delivers yet another fantastic performance. Hrithik Roshan plays his character to the T and delivers another memorable performance. Rishi Kapoor, Konkana, Juhi, Dimple and the rest of the cast register an impact and are all likeable. Without a doubt Shahrukh Khan's guest appearance stands out from the crowd as it is graceful and yet relevant to the plot as he gives an important advice to Vikram (Farhan Akhtar)about his career and personal life.

In a nutshell, Luck By Chance did meet up to my expectations and was more than a decent watch. Zoya Akhtar's direction and screenplay is worth an applaud. The movie will definitely be remembered as one of the best of the year 2009. Highly Recommended!!

McCartney had to drop out because his touring schedule conflicted with Shyamalan's martial-arts boot camp.

Daniel Day Lewis in Scorsese Next (Movies - News)


Daniel Day Lewis is in talks to star in the next Martin Scorsese film titled 'Silence.' It would be really interesting to see both legendary oscar winning Hollywood heavy-weights team up for the third time after Gangs of New York and Age of Innocence. Silence is a violent drama based on missionaries in the 17th century in Japan.

Silence would also star Benicio Del Toro (Snatch, Usual Suspects, and more recently Che). Silence would go into production later this year. Scorsese has recently finished shooting for Shutter Island, a thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
