Movie Lover......but very lazy/busy

I love movies.
I love many movies....action to sci-fi...horror to thriller.....comedies to romantics....epics to spoofs...
I love english movies...enjoy most hindi/marathi movies(prefer oldies)
For me cinema is love...it has no boundaries..language is never used as a basis to judge cinema....be it hindi or english.....I love them all....because there have been bad hindi/marathi movies and bad english movies....


special mentions.....
no time for review of dark knight.....
its been a long time since I saw it....saw it 1st day 3rd show... he he he..after my MCA exam...
An amazingly brilliant movie....heath's dark portrayal is exquisite while bale's silent guardian act as batman was enthralling...and harvey two face was enigmatic....

“When I fell in love”

People say when they fell in love they felt this and that, I have no qualms with that, but is that the only love that can make somebody happy. Why is that many times, people say, there is no love in their life. When all that they are saying is that they don’t have a marriage culminating relationship. Why is the word “love” specialized, when it can be easily generalized? If love is generalized, you will be happier. If you include, everything into love, your outlook towards life would change for good. If I am walking in circles, I will let you know what exactly is on my mind. Let’s take my example. I am not much good at showing my love in spoken words. But I love my family. And this love bubbles up, when they are proud of my job which is two years old. And their love is shown by their sacrifices and putting up with my careless and stupid behavior. That is love, love which exists in spite of the fact that I don’t agree with most of their thoughts. Same goes for my super-sister, we argue with fire, but love and care shines through as we never remember the fights we had, we just put it behind. Then there are friends who too have to put up with my non-sense and still there is love. My absence means many plans get cancelled. Tell them to help me out and they do it without complaint. Such is the bond, that its strength is intact in presence of varied backgrounds/personalities and quirks which define us. We stick together by a common glue of love. Love is like pickle/wine, something which tastes better as it gets older. How can I forget my love for my job, loving the work I do everyday at office, the challenge, responsibilities and pressure I love it all. And running in close is my love for traveling/roaming/riding my bike. Love for cinema in general, and being a lover of music. But this doesn’t mean my life is a bed of roses, with no thorns in it. There are times when it’s hard to smile. There are times when the ability of my eyes to hold back tears is tested. In such times, there are lovely memories come by to dry up any trace of tears. And in such times, it is extremely criminal to think that there is no love in my life because of absence of marriage culminating relationship. But then if it does happen, I am all ready for a new chapter in my life. Well I don’t know if I was on target or I am still not making any sense. But the situation is that my pen is just gliding on this paper as my brain tries to concretize my thoughts. To sum up my motto of my life – Keep doing the job you are here to do. Look at the bright side of any bad/sad thing and cherish the sweet memories. And lastly the only thing that remains to be answered is does a love relationship be considered worthy of compromises/complications. A mystery indeed.

Hancock movie review

This movie may not have the most brilliant script. But in terms of impact, it makes a very big one.
This movie has it all, great action sequences, cool dialogues, solid acting, charlize theron, and will smith.
Only thing it lacked was a powerful villain, but this movie was never meant to be just a fight between good guys and bad guys.
This movie attempts to humanize the heroes, their emotions, reactions, etc, and this job has been done in a very nice manner.
All in all a action packed movie, with a weird twist, and something different compared to all super hero movies.
Don't miss it, even if you are not a Will Smith fan. Even though he is aging, Will Smith continues to enthrall everyone, to the extent he gets standing ovations from viewers.

Movie Review - Love Story 2050

I watched this movie to see how far bollywood has progressed in terms of using heavy special effects(FX) in movies.
And unfortunately I came back disappointed.
Illogical script, stupid dialogues, bad acting marred this film which had decent potential to do well.
Acting was so bad that, OTT acting by Archana Puran Singh felt better than Boman Irani's histrionics.
Mr. Irani was very disappointing, while baweja seems like a hrithik clone sans the acting.
Priyanka was mostly irritating, and there were no steamy scenes to change my opinion.
No powerful villain to save this movie, makes it a very bad movie, still it was better than Nishabd.

Back For You

This is a blog post which should have come long time back.
But being busy with MCA exams meant that it was going to be difficult to post anything.
Now that I am back, I have got loads of stuff to put up, including movie reviews.

Recently I have been fortunate to get acquainted with a sort of super girl.
She is so vastly talented and yet modest about it.
This budding journalist is very proud of her choice of profession and seems destined for a successful career.
And she has one of sweetest smile and deepest eyes that can enchant anyone.

In terms of workplace news, since last week I have been excited to work on new projects.
Its a fresh change and a better challenge, and it would look good on my CV.

One of my coolest friends, Roshan (IT-Superman), Swati and Aalok(Potter Fan) successfully completed their MSC degree's.
Congrats to these masters of science's.

I am undergoing a change of hairstyle.
Those of you see the awesome food/travel show called Highway On My Plate on NDTV-Good Times Channel,
will recognize the long hair and beard style of the two hosts. Well that is the direction that I am moving towards.
Lets see, its a test of patience.

Here it has been raining once in a while. But this while sometimes stretches to a day or two, which is bad since it is monsoon.
And these scarce rains are hampering our trip to a nearest waterfall, since they would not be falling with full force.

Thane Railway Station flooded

Its 1st july 2008 and heavy rains and high tide flooded many low lying places.

story so far

Yesterday was my MCA project viva; and it went very well considering my preparations.

But this viva ruined our plan to visit Raigad Fort.

So now I am left with Semester 6 exams to deal with which are coming up on 17 July. Of course my preparations have begun; I have managed to place the book on my table and have been intending to read them since last few weeks

So now that studies are coming up, I can’t read the book that I have left incomplete>> The Rhinemann Exchange by Robert Ludlum.

Musically I have been listening to a lot Of Steve Vai and Joe Satriani. They are masters of guitar. They don’t need words to sing a song; they let their guitars do the talking.

Last weekend I met some of junior college friends, it was great to meet them all together after a long time. It was nice to laugh about the things that we did back then. The chicks, the professors, etc. We met at Pop Tate's who make some of the best pizzaz's for such a low price. On the downside the place is full of smokers, which pisses me off, since the food is very good. But for a guy like me who doesn't smoke or drink, it is just not right.

Anyway thats the story so far, I will try to update regularly but can't promise.

one more ...one more .. mini movie review >> The Incredible Hulk.

And just yesterday I saw >> The Incredible Hulk.

This movie crashed all my expectations. After watching the Eric Bana starrer earlier edition I was expecting even this movie to be only a CG-fest, but this movie easily moves into the league of Spiderman Series. It is a very well executed movie; it is hallmarked by the performance of the lead actor (Edward Norton) and the villain. Even though others did their job with conviction, it was these two who acted absolutely the way we expected their characters to behave. Watch it if you never liked The Hulk, and maybe you will change your opinion. And for other action movie junkies like me, don’t miss it. The action sequences in this movie are mind blowing. There is a surprise at the end of this movie that some comic book fans will love. Watch it. And Liv Tyler is as usual enchanting.

mini movie reviews continue >> Indiana Jones and Crystal Skull

Then I saw this movie; Indiana Jones and Crystal Skull.

It was a very good movie. The script may not be the best one out there, but the adventure element will keep you glued to your seats. The cast is brilliant, and make this movie thoroughly enjoyable. In spite of being the fourth movie in the Indiana Jones series, it is not necessary to have watched the earlier movies to really enjoy this movie. Don’t miss it if you like action and adventure. Harrison Ford belies his age in this movie, and Shia put in a performance I didn't expect him to. Don't miss it for jonsey!

Mini Movie Reviews >> De Dhakka.

A few weekends back I saw the marathi movie; De Dhakka.

It is a very entertaining movie with a mix of emotion, drama, and comedy.

The movie has been almost completely lifted from the Hollywood movie; Little Miss Sunshine. In spite of this movie being completely copied, it is very well made, and the acting by all characters is very much in character. Watch it with you family.
