stuff and more

Arsenal face bolton again today.. I hope Arsenal win!! Sol Campbell believes he can provide Arsenal with the experience they need to land the title...i hope he can....

In last match, Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas produced an impressive display on his return from injury as Arsenal won 2-0 to spoil new Bolton manager Owen Coyle's 'homecoming'.

I watched "Sherlock Holmes", its a mind blowing movie. I am a big fan of "Guy Ritchie" movies. Really loved his earlier two movies. Here Robert Downey Jr gives a new twist to Holmes character and acts so brilliantly, that in each scene, you stop caring about the story, and always wonder what cool quotes he will make. Jude Law and other actors act perfectly, the story and theme setting is also engrossing. A very good movie, worth a watch more than once.

Also saw "Chance Pe Dance",  its a time pass movie, like "ajab gajab", while this is less comedy than later one. But theme is similar to "luck by chance" . This one is for Shahid Kapoor fans. For non-shahid fans there is his dancing, always bubbly n cuddly Genelia. Story is light but half baked. Little bit of emotion more fun and no logic. But its all about Shahid. His style and dance.

A quote from the movie: Sherlock Holmes:- Never theorize before you have data. Invariably, you end up twisting facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

Also had watched "Paranormal Activity (PA)" some time back. Not exactly the best horror movie. But in the breed of no-budget films shot on a elementary camera, it is one of the best. It follows the realistic documentary style of "Blair Witch Project(BWP)" and to some extent "Cloverfield". Still among the three, Cloverfield is special because it gives a "first person perspective", while "PA" and "BWP" are both good, "BWP" is marginally a better movie. Still "PA" in all is a good movie, which may not scare the "horror movie experts who fear none" but surely will scare others who are more gullible.

So lots of stuff, happening in one post, more comprehensive and analytical post some time soon. 

Adios! for now..

The randomness in your post rocks!!

Arsenel Match - out of syllabus for now :)
Sherelock - Aha, I've gotta see that!

About chance pe dance - read TOI so got similar reviews..

The quote: "Never theorize before you have data. Invariably, you end up twisting facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts."

Loved it. Too much of thinking doesn't always pay big dividends!

Horror movie fan? Well, not me! The one I loved was The Ring and Shutters! The later only for the Mt. Fujiama; while the former - ah! both the parts were awesome. The only horror that made me think.

Lovely post with loads of randomness... Keep the charm :)

Love,

i really wanted to catch PA on screen...but work and my home timings made that impossible....i loved the idea behind it...iam a horror movie buff...u kind of need to be one to sit thru the news nowadays...but wife is a scardycat...no fun in going to a horror movie without someone holding onto your arms and screaming...the cheap thrills of being a man.
