Showing posts with the label movies

What's been happening?

Acha's reports are not good. Prayers please. We have been given a weeks time to show better results. If they don't turn out good then we have to try other 'side effect' filled doses of medicines :( Amma and I are in search of the perfect cook.Help us! M is just being his normal self.  Achu and I are waiting for his holidays. A long week to go Gopa anna came for a week.Had his interview. Took us for a movie.'Mangatha'.The sum total of all the violence I have seen all through my life plus a bit more equalled the movie!...Not gory though. Would rate it with an ok.The break witnessed us having some pop corn iced tea coffee and coke ( Yeah! considering the eataholic I am this was very meager since I kept myself away from Mayo and the like). For dinner - Gopa anna had some Hot & Sour Soup , M Appam and milk and me some horrible kothu barotta.For desert G and I had yummy Ice creams while M had a glass of mango juice. Missing having a brother or sister :(..... ...

Aadukalam for Anniversary

The first anniversary 7 years back was spent at mayajaal. The movie we could watch was " Devathaiyey Kandein" starring Danush and Sreedevi. We didn't have a choice. So on the 7th anniversary we decided to watch a movie starring Danush.This time it was "Aadukalam." How it all started.... The morning began with a few wishes from relatives,cousins and friends frantically wanting to know what we were going to do and what M gave me and I gave him.The calls and messages came ONLY to me because M seemed oblivious until breakfast when I  had to mention the difference between yesterday and today. GOD! Me :I received a lot of condolences today.... M: Huh! for what    Me: For having tied the knot M: Oh! Today-a And then we left to office.... 11.30 am - normal 12.30 pm - normal 1.30pm - very normal 2.00pm - hungry so called M and Acha to leave for lunch Driver left early since he had some work and so M and I drove back home Me: Hey shall we go for a movi...

The TV, Movies & Me

Of late I have been catching up with a few shows and old/new movies...on TV and at the mall I hate Luv Storys : No I don't :)...I actually love mushy movies with a tint of comedy. This one was ok. Imran is cute. As an actor ?...well this movie didn't require much on that front. Sonam Kapoor has got a very open smile...don't know if its fake but it good :D. The story is about a girl who is 'Girly' and a boy who is 'Boyish' and how they ...ahem! fall in love..what else did u expect? Rating: 2/5 Wake up Sid : Same as above...Discovered that Ranbir can actual act! This story had something more than just a love story. A few tit bits about how easy the present generation (who have their fathers/mothers purse) looks at life, lack of discipline, lack of interest/confidence towards finding your true calling, friends, parents. I liked it. Konkana as the independent and patient friend turned lover is a terrific actor. Rating: 3/5 Om Shanti Om : Am not gonna t...

The Stars across the Horizon

Simbu : Looks clean and well dressed. His restricted facial expressions and dialogue delivery resembled Kamalahasan. Good dancing since he consciously restrained himself from having 'that' expression he usually has when he dances. Trisha :  Pretty .The costumes were fresh...with a predominance of the starched,pinned cotton saree look...on a positive note...I have this strange feeling its going to get a good sum of gals to try their hand on tying the saree rather than the usual salwar kameez. Acting wise trisha is a natural and the role requires jus that. Ganesh ( Simbu's Friend): Neat performance. I loved him.Crisp,Calm and Witty. A.R.Rahman:  I didn't have any prelude to the songs so it didn't create much of an impact in my mind. though the slow part in 'Hosanna' and 'Omana Penne' did want me to listen to the songs again. With A R Rehman the problem is that you tend to like his music only when u keep listening to them again and again.....

The Movie Buff in me

Excitement reaches unforeseen heights each time I book tickets for a movie....I love watching movies...and its more fun when its in a dark room with blaring sound AND eats unlimited. What I like 3 hrs of disconnection from the outer world into the world of fantasy usually get to the theater early but sometimes (mostly) we wade thru dark shadows - our mobile lites the only aid I remember the documentaries that used to be shown before the movie starts....patriotic ones...then there were these jewelery ads and saree ads..... buttered popcorn,puff,cake,coke,coffee, the ice cream cones with watery vanilla and anything worth munching and gulping down without bating an eyelid the executive sofa @ sangam ...cosy :)....( seemed quite low the last time round...excess wear and tear?) the 'side' comments from the 'fronters' and whistles that welcome heroes and heroines with equal vigor...no 33% here I should say:b happy, comic, full of love, colors and light..in english,h...
