MOVIE SPOOFS.

i like movie spoofs. a movie which parodies another. a sort of comic alternative. subversion would be the word best suited for it.Hollywood can boast of a plethora of such movie spoofs with FATAL ATTRACTION,SCARY MOVIE SERIES,SUPER HERO MOVIE, DISASTER MOVIE, EPIC MOVIE,MEET THE SPARTANS THE LIST GOES ON.MOST OF THEM RIDICULE THE POPULAR BLOCK BUSTERS PRESENTING BEFORE US THE ILLOGICAL SITUATIONS IN THOSE MOVIES AND MAKE US TO LAUGH AT THEM.
THOUGH IN HOLLYWOOD ITS AN USUAL PHENOMENON WE IN INDIA HAVE NOT YET SEEN A FULL FLEDGED MOVIE SPOOF.AND THIS YEAR TWO MOVIES SET THE TRAIL BLAZING.THEY ARE THE TAMIL MOVIES -TAMIL PADOM,AND GOA.BOTH MOVIES CHOSE TO DERIDE THE STEREOTYPES IN TAMIL MOVIES-THE LARGER THAN LIFE OR GOD LIKE HERO,SONGS AND DANCE SEQUENCES,THE STUNT SEQUENCES,THE MELODRAMA AND ALL.
THESE MOVIES SHOULD BE GREETED WITH OPEN ARMS AS TAMIL CINEMA HAS FINALLY OPTED FOR A SELF ANALYSIS.AND IT WOULD OPEN THE GATES FOR MORE FRUITFUL EXPERIMENTS

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.

Netflix's The Ballad of Buster Scruggs: Coen Brothers laugh at Death in this little classic

By Sreejith Kamalanayanan The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is an important movie because it marks the transition of the Coen Brothers to streaming platform. The duo is one of the most important filmmakers working today and the news of their transition to Netflix has made everyone eager and curious.

Almost every central character in each segment have to confront death at a crucial point in the movie. Death pulls curtain on almost all the episodes in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. The first episode is titled The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. The central character is a wanted outlaw called Buster Scruggs.

The American: A Carefully Crafted Assassin Film

The opening sequence of George Clooney ’s 2010 assassin film The American is shocking but interesting. We see a couple, Clooney and Irina Bjorklund , relaxing after a love-making session. The brooding Clooney is sitting on the floor; a naked Irina Bjorklund caresses his body while laying on the bed.  This set-up is interesting as it leaves no clue about the genre of the film.
