    Is VR really the future of film? Not sure

    I don't somehow think VR will actually come to be the future of films. However, filmmakers seem pretty eager to dabble in this new and fascinating world. I recently came across a news piece in The Observer which talked about virtual reality movie theaters opening in places like France, Shanghai...

    Video Game History Intro

    Fascinating! Apparently the first video games were played on huge mainframes, for instance the game called Tennis for Two back in 1958. Compare that to the BioShock Infinite of today or the virtual reality games on offer, and the transformation (check it out here) is truly mind-boggling! What's...

    Movie plot holes. anyone?

    Here are some of the most obvious plot holes (I feel) in some very popular movies. I wonder how the makers didn't think of it in the first place. 1. Toy Story - Like a playground Fight Club, there are certain rules to being a toy. The first rule is that you do not let the humans find out that...

    What is the definition of both commercial and critical success?

    A movie can achieve critical success without commercial success, and vice versa. A critical success is positive reception from the viewers and press, such as good reviews and rewards. A commercial success is high amount of sales, read viewership. Critical and commercial success are both defined...

    Online gaming

    I've been playing MMORPGs from as far back as I can remember - my day seems to be incomplete without them! Some of my all-time favorites are: Guild Wars 2 - wherein players gang together to fight in rolling events; Planetside 2 - a huge, persistent open world filled and fought over by thousands...

    how do actors or child celebs make a living after their 15 mins?

    Well, mostly they disappear from their 'fame world' and go into more mundane professions once they grow up (like the rest of us 'mere mortals') :P

    Stephen King's Mr Mercedes. The storyline goes thus: In the frigid pre-dawn hours, in a distressed Midwestern city, desperate unemployed folks are lined up for a spot at a job fair. Without warning, a lone driver plows through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes, running over the innocent, backing...

    What do you think of Silent Films?

    I've watched just one silent film - Charlie Chaplin's City Lights, which is a mismatched love story, where Chaplin's vagrant falls for a blind-flower seller. It was a beautiful movie.

    Useful Educational Website for Kids

    Just wanted to share a very useful education-related website I found recently which has a variety of easy learning games for kids of all ages. The best part about this is that the activities, online games and worksheets are segregated grade-wise and subject-wise, plus there are several...

    Can't decide what camera to buy... Panasonic AF101?

    Personally speaking, I would say that a Canon DSLR would be better but I have a couple of friends who think otherwise. They say the AF101 has many pluses over others - less rolling shutter skew, proper sound, better focusing and exposure assist. Also, proper SDI and HDMI clean-outs. But then one...

    movies What's the last film you watched? And rate it!

    1. 22 Jump Street: Sequel to the hit action comedy 21 Jump Street. More consistent pacing, more imaginative sight gags. In one word: just a little short of brilliant. Rating: 8/10 2. How To Train Your Dragon 2: Definitely a tad higher than the original franchise-launching animated prequel of...

    Should I go to University for Film?

    Can totally relate to how you're feeling. Was like this myself a couple of years ago, then after convincing my parents (and it took a pretty lot of convincing I can tell you that), I decided to go for a masters degree in Mass Communication. It was a two year course and we had the most...
