Does the world need another fucking movie blog?
Not really.
Then why this blog? 
Firstly, a full disclosure: I am not a film student, not if you mean academically. But, ever since I was a child, I knew I loved cinema. It started with really, really (I don’t think I can emphasize to the extent to which I mean REALLY!) god-awful generic Indian films, aka Bollywood (perhaps the first and last time I will ever be using this term here). But I guess, that’s behind me. And the days of generic, run of the mill Indian movies too is seeing a transition. Film-makers, thankfully, are waking up to their true potential, and telling their stories. Not for the producers, the distributors, no, none of that! Finally, a relationship is rebuilding between the story-teller and the audience. But more on that, once I actually start posting. 
So, if I am not a film student, why this blog? 
This is my way of archiving all the movies which I am about to watch from today, that is 18/10/2017. It’ll be me watching a movie and writing about it. Taking a scalpel in my hand and dissecting the scenes, the stories and the sounds. Other than that, I’ll also be writing about the shows I have seen, the movies which had a huge impact on my life, the soundtracks I listen to on repeat, if I catch any movie in the theater (including Indian films), etc, etc, etc.
What sort of movies will I be writing about? 
Well, to begin with, I’ve drawn out a list of directors, from Akira Kurosawa to Werner Herzog. I plan to pick one director whose filmography I will be studying. Every weekend watch their movie/s, and finally write about it. It won’t be a synopsis of the plot, so to speak, but more about the general themes, the direction, the background score, if and how it’s relevant now. But, to be honest, I am still figuring things out, hence my first review, won’t come before 28/10/2017. 
However, do follow KINOCORE now, so that you don’t miss out on all my ramblings. Perhaps, you can stumble upon some really cool movies, albeit weird ones. And I’ll love to discuss the movies with you too! 
Cheers!
