OH YEAH, I M GOIN TO RISHIKESH THIS WEEKEND... RAFTING AND ALL, WELL THAT SHOULD B FUN,

MWAH

Few (not so) latest cinema

Well...... Somebody said once- i want to be an avid blogger (that's me) and God knows its been a bloggers lifetime since she saw her own blog, leave alone anyone else's.
But then it's never too late to repair the damages... unless of course if they are beyond repair.

Anyway, so what was i doin when i wasn't blogging... watchin movie. Errr watchin CRAPPY MOVIES. I mean whatever has happened to the movie industries across world. Anyway without wasting any more time why don't i give you a quick summary on some of the recent movies that i managed to survive.

1. Luck by Chance, Dev D, Delhi 6, Gulal - All fall in the same bracket. Bearable. Another common thread that runs through them- New style of narration that actually is interestng in quite many places but after a while it just becomes too much repetitive. Could have been shorter and crisper.
   
   
2. The Reader- Quite deserved the Oscar it was awarded. Initially it might seem a bit slow but then it gains momentum and you really wouldn't wanna leave it midway. Well Kate's ample bosom show is another reason why guys wouldn't wanna leave it midway. Too much of nudity. Otherwise a good movie if you manage to look past Winslet's curves.
   
   
3. Curious Case of Benamin Button- Too long... too slow. Can't comment much on it as I couldn't go beyond 1hr 30 min. Perhaps someone would wanna add to it and give me reasongs strong enought to try and sit through the whole movie all over again. You're welcome.
   
   
4. Confessions of a Shopaholic- Can you believe i actually watched this whole movie in a multiplex... Can you believe i actually watched this movie, multiplex or no multiplex. The girl is ugly and the guy is choooo cute. The movie is so petty, but even petty movie can be fun at times. If you really must watch something of fashion, please go for Devil wears Prada, or any other flick but not this one.
   
   
5. Rachel Getting Married- Sensitive and Slow. If you are a sucker for disturbed family drama coming to terms you sure can watch this. If you are a sucker for Anne Hathaway you have to watch this. She breaks out of her good girl mode so convincingly with this movie, some very good and moving performance. I loved it. But please refrain if you like thrillers, drama or romance. one honest no-frills movie.
   
   
6. Aloo Chaat- The movie that walks away with all the laurels. I couldn't find ticket for anyother show and we just had to watch something. God knows it took some supernatural power on my part to actually bring myself to buy the tickets. The only saving grace was the duration- 2 hrs 15 min. But then then movie did come as a pleasant surprise, not a total wash off. Not that I had to rushed to trauma center. In fact some bits were truly hilarious and if you don't have any better movie to watch you sure can go for this one. You'll come out happy.

I think all these movies were history. Guess should come up with more up to date information. i do have plans this weekend, let's see which movie it's gonna be. Please drop in suggestions. Till then, chao.

Be good and have a great weekend.

P.S. Do drop in requests if you want me to watch something and give you a review. Some word bout your taste and choice would help me better

DRONA !!!

Okhayyy... So there were like a 100 ways i wished to start this post with but why spoil the suspense. Finally settled to take you guys through the whole chain of events pre-n-post this movie, oh and not to forget through the movie itself.

So after much fightin, debating, pleading and wot not I finally gave in to My guy's decision of watching DRONA over KIDNAP. His starts were too good cos we actually got the tickets, first day last show. Not bad. Seats were good too.. not the corner ones. We prefer to leave 'em to the more coochie-coo couples and prefer a better view from the center seats. Everything was perfect but for one thing... WE WERE SOON TO REGRET OUR DECISION.

The Movie.. dunno how to vent my frustration. Okay lets get started...

THE MOVIE SUCKED.

Both of us, and i suspect even the people around us, were totally clueless bout wot was goin on atleast through the first half an hour. And ABHISHEK BACHCHAN looked equally clueless throughout the movie. Seemed as if he was forced to do the movie and in retaliation went all woody. Another guess for his puppy-faced expression through the movie was- He's forgotten how to act after the long drought period and thought it to be too much of a hard work to make any attempts at remembering.

Priyanka Chopra could be the only saving grace of the movie, delivering a decent performance and more manly stunts than Abhishek. Looking hot and sultry in brocade jackets in which she was expected to do a-la matrix (who wears them anyway), she was more tolerable except when she insisted on narrating her BAUJI tales.

Kay Kay Menon- He's a maverick and super talented and only he could do such a role as his. Infact he's actually good to a great extent but after a while his whole over acting drama and GUSTAAKHI MAAPH routine becomes repetitive and GOTMYNs (Gets on to my nerves) bigtime.

Shilka Kant - Totally pissed to have been made to watch it. Laughing and cribbing at the same time, as her boyfriend apologizes in different ways. Poor guy, he tries so hard to crack lame jokes about equally lame movie and make it a tad bit interesting. Oh he also gets popcorn and nachos that she totally digs.

So, in nutshell....

• The story reminds me of those hindi comics I used to read as a child & was total drag.
  
• The graphics are okayish by world standards. They could have made it much better. I mean the movie 10,000 B.C. was also such a sad affair but atleast the graphics were awe inspiring.
• The songs were most misplaced I've ever seen in a movie. You just escaped death, you sing. You just met your son, you sing.
  
• The acting... Someone wake up Abhishek .
  
• Don't even get me started on the music and dance and the extras and the background score and the costumes and........
  

Watch at your own risk.

P.S. I beg some of you guys to differ from my opinion, because however much I hate Ash, being a woman I wouldn't want another woman to be labelled a jinx. Abhishek Bachchan still has a thriving career.

Ciao!!!
