PAPPEE- APPACHA THE SAME OLD STUFF

THE OTHER DAY I WATCHED PAPPEE-APPACHA A MALAYALAM MOVIE RELEASED LAST WEEK IN CINEMAS.THE MOVIE IS DIRECTED BY A YOUNGSTER NAMED MAMMAS .THOUGH IT BOASTS OF A STAR STUDDED CAST WITH DILEEP AND INNOCENT DOING THE TITLE ROLES AND KAVYAMADHAVAN RETURNING TO THE SILVER SCREEN AS HEROINE AFTER A FAILED MARRIAGE,THE MOVIE IS A DISAPPOINTMENT.
INNOCENT AND DILEEP AS USUAL DELIVERS SOME HILARIOUS STUFF WITH THEIR UNMATCHED FLAIR FOR COMEDY. THE STORY IS NOT AT ALL FRESH.IT NARRATES THE STORY OF PAPPI AND HIS APPACHAN(FATHER)THE NOUVO RICHE .EXTERNAL FORCES TRY TO DISRUPT THE BONHOMIE EXISTS BETWEEN THE FATHER AND SON AND UP TO A POINT THEY SUCCEED IN THEIR BAD DEEDS. BUT THEY TURN FRIENDS AGAIN BY IDENTIFYING THE VILLAINS WHO WERE BEHIND ALL THE TRICKY AFFAIRS.
THE DUO OF INNOCENT AND DILEEP DOES THE MAGIC BUT IT REMINDS US OF THE JAYARAM-THILAKAN DUO IN VEENDUM CHELA VEETTU KARYANGAL, INNOCENT -JAYARAM DUO IN MANASSINAKKARE, AND NEDUMUDI VENU-MOHANLAL DUO IN ORKKAPPURATH. IT SEEMS NOWADAYS THAT FATHER SON FRIENDSHIP IS BECOMING STEREOTYPED AS MORE AND MORE DIRECTORS KEEP ON PORTRAYING IT OFTEN

How did James Franco's viral 'First Time? Meme' originate?

Those who are yet to see Coen Brothers' ' The Ballad of Buster Scruggs ' must be the ones who Google to know from where did the 'First Time?' meme featuring James Franco come from. The meme features James Franco as a cowboy outlaw about to be hanged. He has a noose around his neck. He's not alone there are other convicts in similar fate. An old guy who also has a noose around his neck starts crying. Franco goes to a bank to rob it Franco asks him casually : "First Time, huh?" This is because Franco had been convicted for hanging earlier in the bank for attempting to rob a bank. At the time of his execution, Comanche warriors storm into the place and kill his executioners and Franco escapes.

Bull Durham (1988): A baseball classic that boasts of one of the best movie love triangles

By Sreejith Kamalanayanan Bull Durham is a 1988 movie that I first watched in 2018. This Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins movie has aged beautifully.  The movie begins with the voice of Annie Savoy, the lead character played by Susan Sarandon. She is kind of a spiritual person who considers baseball as her religion. " I believe in the church of baseball," she says. Savoy picks a baseball guy every year as her lover. Savoy says she makes these boys feel confident and they make her feel safe. She chose baseball as her religion as there's no guilt in it, unlike Christianity. Thus she doesn't feel guilty for sleeping with the baseball boys. Ebby Cavin Laloosh is the guy Savoy has chosen as her lover the current baseball season.  Tim Robbibns as Ebby But there's another guy who she is attracted to as well: "Crash" Davis played by Kevin Costner.  Savoy would have chosen Crash had not he walked out on her after deliver

Everything You Wanted to Know about James Cameron’s Spider-Man Movie

But little did I know that the idea for the Spider-verse was first born in the creative mind of Avatar director James Cameron. The Titanic director was not only the first one to pitch the idea to turn the Spiderman comic into a Hollywood feature, but he crafted a script treatment for the movie which is now known as the James Cameron’s Spider-Man Scriptment. James Cameron’s Spiderman Scriptment never got made into a Hollywood movie, but some key elements of the treatment got into Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man movie, which hit the screens in 2002. Here is everything you need to know about Jame’s Cameron’s Spider-Man movie that was never made... Cameron’s Spider-Man was pitched to Terminator 2 Makers James Cameron had pitched his version of Spider-Man movie to Carolco, the company that produced his blockbuster film Terminator 2.
