Saawariya – Movie remakes from the sublime to ridiculous #2
by Eva Wynne
Saawariya is a Bollywood-esque adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s short novel, White Nights. And yes, you’ve read correctly – Russian tragedy gets the Bollywood treatment. I love it – it’s highly entertaining. This book-to-film receives an inspired mention in the adaptation hall of fame.

Movie Magic or Tragedy?
by Eva Wynne
Love it or loathe the idea, a book you love will be made into a movie. In the past, I have stubbornly expressed my derision at remakes that should never have been made.

I have … Read More Movie Magic or Tragedy?

As part of my “Youthful New Year” campaign I set about planning the ultimate girls weekend movie marathon. Invite some friends round, play some movies. What could be simpler right? There is a whole host of chick-flicks to choose from, almost too many to make sense of and I’m promising the ultimate experience. I’m starting to feel the pressure.

Eat Pray Love
by Eva Wynne
My individuality took a hit over the weekend. I went to see Eat Pray Love, like just about every other woman in Australia, hell maybe the Western World.

For me, … Read More Eat Pray Love
