• One BIG global family...
  
  

  				CANNES INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL's 60th Anniversary is here! And I think the poster looks TOO cool! Nine directors and actors caught by the camera in mid-air, jumping to celebrate the festival, which runs from May 16-27. And their concept behind this poster: Levity.

  I don't really consider myself a MOVIE buff like Tate but with the exception of international films, I consider myself a big fan. I love them! There is this HUGE list of must-see films that I have compiled. I actually write down the story in my own words because 'your own words are what draws you'. I probably have a LONG LONG way to catch up but hey, I'm taking my time. I mean, get this, I STILL haven't seen 'Life is Beautiful'? I know, I know.. *smack on the head*.. but it IS on my list.
  
  I mean being an Indian myself, especially a South Indian, I have like 3 different genre of movies to watch: Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi. Per month, about 20 to 25 movies are released so do the math.  Yup, thats definitely a LOT of Indian films made every month, every year. So I have been too busy watching them, and I am not complaining because lately, these movies are 'good shit!'
  
  As for CANNES, I am so GLUED to their schedule, reading the reviews for each of the movies and of course, looking through the photo galleries! The selection for this year are very strong, addressing topics like abortion, war, environmental issue, lives of refugees, etc.  One thing that intrigues me is how Cannes festival demonstrates the vitality of cinema in the world.
  
  Here are some pictures of Abhishek and Aishwariya Rai!
  
  
  
  
  I really want to watch THIS movie! 'My Blueberry Nights' (Norah Jones in her acting debut)
  
  
  And more movies like....
  Leonardo DiCaprio's documentary, The 11th Hour
  A Mighty Heart with Angelina Jolie

  Seinfeld's Bee Movie
  
  And we will be seeing THIS couple SOON!
