Imtiaz Ali's 'Tamasha' is a Invigorating Slice of Cinema. Ranbir Kapoor/Deepika Padukone Shine

Leonard Cohen explored the idea that a writer writes himself into existence. The more he creates, the more tangible he becomes. Sure, he exists but that shell, or body is just a housing. There is a truth but it is not what you see, at least right now. Maybe that is what director Imtiaz Ali is saying in his new film Tamasha. Ali's film has many layers with which to peel back to truly understand. Its complexity perplexes us all the more because the film's stars bring their own puzzle to the film. Where do Ved and Tara end and Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor begin? Tamasha suggests only through shedding illusions that we construct like walls, for the only true security is the greatest lie we can create, can we find ourselves.

  • ‘Walking Dead’ Mid-Season 6 Finale Spoilers: Carl Chandler Riggs Talks Losing an Eye

    Major 'Walking Dead' TV & Comic Spoilers: Tonight, AMC aired the mid-season finale of the hit TV show the 'Walking Dead' and where it was largely a lull fest, it did set up some pretty tense moments for the second half of Season 6. Despite being promised lots of blood, we really didn’t see any touching death scenes. There was plenty of drama and zombie, but our blood thirst went largely unlinked. Last week’s episode left off with Ron (Austin Abrams) was getting ready to shoot Carl (Chandler Riggs) or Rick (Andrew Lincoln) out of revenge for Rick killing his father. This seemed like the perfect moment for Carl to lose an eye.
