Movie Reviews

Past few months i have been watching movies every weekend. With so many big names every week to watch, it was too hard to resist.

This summer was full sequels but some of them were so disappointing that at one point thought ran in my mind was not to watch the sequels any more.

The biggest disappointment was Spider Man 3 which had glimse of some Hindi movies (way to go Bollywood).

Well following are the movies i watched lately and their "reviews" --

1. Pirates of Caribbean At Worlds End: Having watched parts 1 and 2 just the previous day, i thought of passing this one but to my surprise i liked it very much, all credit goes to part 2 for being so boring.
   
2. Shrek 3: Such a disappointment.
3. Fantastic4 2: Its ok type of movie at time i felt i was sleeping but i didnt so its all good :)
   
4. Oceans' 13: Same as PIC3, quite enjoyable after whoever have watched Oceans 12
   
5. Transformers: Awesome ... graphics we amazing esp if u have watched this movie on a screen like this.
   
6. Die Hard 4: Bruce Willis rocks!
   
7. Harry Potter and the Order of Pheonix: aah!! what can i say ... the book was better. Can't wait for the seventh book.

Some of you are figuring why there is no mention of hindi movies. Well i watched Chini Kum and what can i say, so i spared a mention of it here ...

Cultural shock

It has been always interesting and exciting to visit home every six months or so. This time it was even more exciting as it was my first visit since i went to Singapore.
Having heard and read a lot about reverse cultural shock, i braced myself to experience the feeling when i landed in Delhi amidst cool Delhi afternoon of just 41 degrees. So good so far .. cultural shock .. what is it?
It felt so good to see notice on immigration "For Indian Passport holders only", havin visited Malaysia and Indonesia it was nice to see that we have an "exclusive" queue for us :)

Heading home from airport enjoying aloo paratha in the car i noticed something is not rite, it took 10 min to realize its the honking of horns all around that i found so annoying. I realized this is in months i am hearing horns and why i am so annoyed by this now .. as i am use to it .. well i thought i was.

Now my trip is coming to an end and have to gear up for cultural shock again :P

2007 is gone .. well almost half!!

Staying with my previous post. It seems like yesterday that i wrote it.

Time files!! Last four months have been a mixed bag for me, had my share of fun and slogging.

The most exciting thing to mention is my trip to Langkawi, Malaysia. May be i will do a post abt it later.

I hope to be regular from now on .. keep blogging!
