- [Desire - Stephen Dobyns](https://tvmtalkies.com/desire-stephen-dobyns/) - What is desire but the wish for some relief from the self, the prisoner let out into a small square of sunlight with a single red flower and a bird crossing the sky, to lean back against the bricks with the legs outstretched, to feel the sun warming the brow, before returning to one's mortal cage, steel doors slamming in the cell block, steel bolts sliding shut?

- [Special 26 - Movie Review](https://tvmtalkies.com/special-26-movie-review/) - There was a time when there were two types of hindi movies, and both were horrible. Those times have changed. Nowadays it is tough to say "a very good hindi movie in a long time", when Gangs of Wasseypur, Matru ke Bijili ka Mandola, and to some (arguable) effect Barfi and Shanghai release in a year's time. "Special Chabbis" is the best hindi movie I have watched in the past month, and Neeraj Pandey almost exceeds expectations with his second movie. When his first movie, "A Wednesday" released, I remember saying "a very good hindi movie in a long time"; times have changed.
- [Liberal Decalogue - Bertrand Russell](https://tvmtalkies.com/liberal-decalogue/) - Bertrand Russell - Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement it.

- [Varane Avashyamund - Movie Review](https://tvmtalkies.com/varane-avashyamund-movie-review/) - Varane avashyamund settles the Shobana vs Urvashi question once and for all. The other win is casting movie director Johny Antony as a shrink, anything that keeps Johny Antony busy and keeps him from making movies like Thoppil Joppan and Thappana is a win. Verdict: 2.5 of 5 stars. Good one time watch.
- [Kaduva - movie review](https://tvmtalkies.com/kaduva-movie-review/) - Shaji Kailas's latest Prithviraj production - Kaduva, interestingly has an omnipresent blue glare throughout the movie, almost like a light boy's desperate attempt at stopping the movie from being made. Unfortunately for us, the light boy failed. If the blue glare doesn't blind you completely you'll come to realize that the whole movie is just
- [Crazy kerala elephants, D'ya like elephants?](https://tvmtalkies.com/crazy-kerala-elephants-dya-like-elephants/) - Elephant Head Elephants have always been a weakness for me. Their sheer elegance, self indulgence and the extreme confidence of the mammoth in every move of their body. Our river back home looks the most beautiful when the temple elephant is in it. Though it muddies the river, it prevents Sarojini, our local cigarette shop

- [Know a guy named Gabe though...](https://tvmtalkies.com/know-a-guy-named-gabe-though/) - Angels don't come to the reservation. Bats, maybe, or owls, boxy mottled things. Coyotes, too. They all mean the same thing- death. And death eats angels, I guess, because I haven't seen an angel fly through this valley ever.

- [Oscars 2008: No Country for Old Men - REVIEW](https://tvmtalkies.com/oscars-2008-no-country-for-old-men-review/) - No Country for Old Men never stops growing on you. I watched it over the weekend and it ruined the weekend for me. Haven't kept the script down since the end credits rolled and it makes you feel more pathetic every passing hour. Undeniably one of the greatest movies ever made - "No Country for

She says she's beginning to get the full grasp
- [Mulla - Review](https://tvmtalkies.com/mulla-review/) - Driving up and down the National Highway last week (some 800 kilometers), I would have used the "M" word a few hundred times (thanks to the road rash). I often wonder why the "M" word is not part of the malayalam cinema lexicon (which claims to be that close to real life). Mulla ends the
- [Innathe Chinthavishayam - Review](https://tvmtalkies.com/innathe-chintavishayam-review/) - Mohanlal has a super Hit, finally. After a strange procession of blockbuster flops,"Innathe Chintavishayam" might just save the year for the actor. But sadly this has very little to do with Mohanlal. "Udayananu Tharam" atleast had Mohanlal's understated performance which didn't jutt out, but if anything is out of place in "Innathe Chintavishayam" - it
- [Kamal's DASAVATHARAM "“ Review](https://tvmtalkies.com/kamals-dasavatharam-review/) - Readers of the comic strip "Mayavi" in "Balarama" would remember the two nerd scientists - Lottulodukk and GulGulMal. They come up with these quirky gadgets for the evil likes of Kuttoosan and Dakini, and in the end of the strip "Mayavi" destroys the gadget (sometimes he pours water on that, sometimes it falls down from
- [Madambi Vs Parunthu - Review!](https://tvmtalkies.com/madambi-vs-parunthu-review/) - "Madambi" and "Parunthu" should go together, for the sheer hype and controversy around these movies, the two superstars playing moneylenders, almost the same cast, and the fact that both the movies deliver nothing new. I'd watched "Madambi" and "Parunthu" almost back to back a week back, but then both the movies dont live upto even
- [Thalappavu - Review; Go Watch it!](https://tvmtalkies.com/thalappavu-review/) - Thiruvonam Greetings! Hope you had a great one! Onam comes every year, but "Thalappavu" comes once a decade. There couldn't be a better Onam gift for Malayalis and Malayalam cinema than "Thalappavu". Watched the movie today, First day, at SreePadmanabha and I'm still searching for a fault line. This one goes right up there -

'Milk' is a beautiful movie. A biographical account
- [Mohanlal's Red Chillies - Review](https://tvmtalkies.com/mohanlals-red-chillies-review/) - Shaji Kailas's-Mohanlal starrer "Red Chillies" completes Mohanlal's transition from the Asset side to the Liability side of Malayalam cinema. A movie that could have been a perfect curtain raiser for arguably the most awaited movie in malayalam, Amal Neerad's Mohanlal starrer "Sagar Alias Jacky", falls flat, then digs a hole and stoops low to a
- [Mohanlal's Sagar Alias Jacky: Review](https://tvmtalkies.com/mohanlals-sagar-alias-jacky-review/) - The movie spits on your intelligence while setting the record for the most number of villains killed by a single hero. Mohanlal kills around 14,565 villains with two guns. The villains also have guns, but as the Southern Travancore swear word goes - they are born to blow jobs, so they don't shoot with aim. The script is somewhat as believable as this shooting spree.
- [I Hate Luv Storys "“ Review](https://tvmtalkies.com/i-hate-luv-storys-review/) - The plot of "I hate Luv Storys" revolves around Jay (played by Imran Khan) who is a filmaholic serial killer. He spends nights watching film noir classics and prowling the streets of Mumbai searching for his next target.
- [Santosh Sivan's Urumi - Review](https://tvmtalkies.com/santosh-sivans-urumi-review/) - Prithviraj disappoints. Then again I am back from watching Mohanlal's Chinatown, so disappointment needs to be understood as occurring when there is hope left. Mohanlal cannot disappoint me anymore. Prithvi loses control at critical junctures in the movie. This is the same actor who gave extrememly controlled performances in Vasthavam and Thalappavu, but he loses it occasionally in "Urumi".
- [Delhi Belly - Review](https://tvmtalkies.com/delhi-belly-review/) - Delhi Belly has a very clever storyline by Akshat Verma to start with, but the treatment by director Abhinay Deo, and an intuitive musical score by Ram Sampath keeps the movie grounded and prevents it from going over the top. This script could have become very loud on screen, but despite the butt cracks, and incessant meditation on kitsch, Delhi Belly is a smooth ride that takes you along quite well.
- [Mohanlal's Grand Master - Review](https://tvmtalkies.com/mohanlals-grand-master-review/) - It's too early to say if Mohanlal has rediscovered himself like Bachchan did, but Grand Master is a terrific start if he is trying. It is a highly watchable malayalam thriller without the noises, and thank god! slow motion (which Shaji Kailas claims he invented).
- [The Master - Movie Review](https://tvmtalkies.com/the-master-movie-review/) - Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman mesmerize with competing performances which must in all probability give Phoenix and Hoffman academy nominations for best actor. Hoffman enthralls in every role he takes up (even that tiny one in Big Lebowski), but this will go down as one of his best.
- [Bond23: Skyfall - Movie Review](https://tvmtalkies.com/bond23-skyfall-movie-review/) - Judi Dench plays the vulnerable matriarch of Britain's external intelligence agency, and inimitable academy winner Javier Bardem plays her ex-protege, and now deeply deeply hurt nemesis, the sexual tension is palpable. In case I forgot to mention, the third character is Bond...... James Bond. And his time it is very very personal.

"Slumdog Millionaire" is a movie of stunted characters with no space, no time and no questions around them whatsoever. Imagine that in comparison to the build up in last year's winner 'NCFOM' or even blockbuster winners like 'Gladiator' where a space of silence and brooding lurks around the characters.
