2 new reviews are online at bbreviews. Next week will probably see the 500th review on the site :-) Also hoping to have the long-delayed post on my defense of my reviews at that time.

yep, i just noticed that u r inching closer to 500...golden jubilee celebs next week!! bbreviews has been as regular a stop for me as "The Hindu!" and of course, as i've always maintained, ur writing has been one of the inspirations behind my interest in writing reviews n fiction...
nice
ice for a Fri evening! have a good weekend:)
Defense on your reviews? Were they ever attacked?!?
Congrats Balaji on approaching this milestone.. I have read almost all your reviews and found them to be neutral and fair. One thing I disagree with you is when you under-praise the beauty of some heroines.. (So your blog on the curvaceous actresses was a surprise for me). Most often you say 'cute'... Some of the actresses have been gorgeous, beautiful, mind-blowing, flattering and what not.
It would be great if you 'varnanai' them from your heart.. :-)
Wow. 500 reviews! That's no mean achievement. Why defend your reviews?
king, i had the same hopes for shaam when i saw him for 12b. seeemed like a good debut. he was good-looking, acted OK, danced well and fought competently. for a while his career seemed progressing along the right path with a nice mix of movies like bala, iyarkai, etc. but starting with 'anbe anbe' he has been on a steep slide. unfortunately his career shows no signs of picking up with no promising movies on his plate right now, I think.
not sure i've heard about the movie 'circuit'. and yes, i think 'kutti' would qualify as an independent film.
asokan/ammani, maybe defense was not the exact word. meant more like a short essay on why and how i do what i do. should answer frequent questions like "why did u rate a particular movie so high/low", etc.
gp, i think u'll find some of adjectives describing simran in many movies :) if not, those feelings were certainly in my heart. will try and put them in words more :)
balaji, where do you watch the new films that you review? VCDs or in theatre?
i go to the theater for hi-profile ones that get released in the bay area(CM, MX, Kanaa Kanden, Anniyan, etc.) Others i watch on VCD or tape...
