I didn’t know till a couple of days ago that Mozhi was supposed to be Jyotika’s last movie. After three hours of the movie, I come out […]

Gautham Menon takes a break from his similar-themed cop flicks and explores the concept of infidelity and its effects on a loving family in a slickly-made, technically brilliant movie, in which Arvind Krishna’s camerawork, Harris Jeyaraj’s songs and background score compete with Sarathkumar for the tag of hero. I will take an early bet on […]

The following letter was sent to an executive working for Hutch South a month ago. I did not want to publish it. But since they still haven’t responded satisfactorily, I care zilch about them.

Genius has an infinite capacity to self-destruct. Which is what Liverpool found out to their great joy at the Camp Nou last night. How else can a team, which cannot lay claim to even a few seconds of imaginative / creative play, beat the reigning European champions, whose degeneration looked complete? Discipline is the word. […]

Liverpool are reportedly upbeat in their preparation to face European champions Barcelona next week. Barca do not look like the force they were last year, and the recent spat between Samuel Eto’o, Ronaldinho and Frank Rijkaard has made things only worse for them.

… is what Arsene Wenger told Alan Pardew as he couldn’t stomach Marlon Harewood’s late winner for West Ham United against Arsenal.
Some moments from today’s game:

A friend writes in to ask why I don’t write about football these days…
