Movies Gallore ..

I am having a movie fiesta going on.Thanks to this giant LCD in my room , I am enjoying and indulging in movies like never before.I remember when I bought laptop,while people go out and try to find some sleek, light weight model, I bought a brick-heavy one -why -because its screen was big enough for my movie watching , I never call it a notebook for that reason.
So,in chronological order I had a taste of these movies :

Avatar : nice, because I finally got to know how a 3-D movie looks and feels like..I was doing and on and off game with my 3-D glasses to remind myself to appreciate the 3-D ness of movie...much to disgust of pepole around..the bad part was subtitles were in Korean, I could not even pester my team mates with "what did he say" "what what what" , when actors normally speak their indecipherable English.I loved everything bluey bluey and I loved the flying good spirits,the colors,animation,location , everything was so exotic, that when critics cribbed about storyline,I was like give him a break , people.It is Man vs Machines everywhere or man vs aliens, but where was ever a message given about embracing nature...anyways,I can watch the plug-n-play flying birds,floating mountains any number of times, if given a chance..I loved Avatar.

Seven Pounds : it was heart rendering to see Will Smith in so much pain, he is my hot-favs like.guy, he made me hate jelly fishes.It was so heavy stuff for me , I was sobbing at the end of the movie.But I loved the part where he comes out of blue and transforms people's lives.Though "heavy" is the word.

Rocket Singh :Such a simple and effective message in such a far fetched movie..one would love the casting part in start, it captures a middle class household's most trivial and common things in such a colorful and enchanting way.PC (Prem Chopra) ...this the first time in his entire career, I liked him in some role ..( he should be happy for that), the dialogues are wow.Ranbeer is nice -good that he didnt try fiddling with Punjabi - he might have ruined it..and what a character everybody has played- esp the team of rocket Sales-is amazing.The entire cast is great.Except the basic facts which could have made the story feel like real,everything is perfect and in place.By some basic stuff I mean-All while the movie,it felt like they are selling vacuum cleaners rather than computers... you know -the way they sold, its hard to imagine that a guy  from leading  computer business would recognize with it..and Mr.Puri in computer business no longer exist in real scenario.In real scenario, exists is Mr.Puri 's all bad qualities + Mr.Rocket's pushing for working in night and all round the clock -24 hours, you see.

Twilight 1 n 2 : I loooove teenage romance.Esp the protective boyfriends and made-of-love-girlfriends...mmm, I loved both the parts.

Three Idiots : good humour, good message , again not very realistic and why does Amir has to concentrate all the movie around him?I love Chatur's speech part though ;)

Kung fu Panda : Must watch ..I love the East Asian touch to english speaking animation characters and swift Kungfu moves - one good thing is - it doesnot belong to one animal class, so you can see a tortoise too in kunguf, a panda, a tiger,an insect (for God's sake), a snake and a birdie too.Hats off, to the nice combination it creates and ofcourse the adorable Panda learning Kung-Fooo.

Fly Away Home

Oct 24,2009

So, I watched this movie yesternight- Fly away home.Ostrich had recommended this movie.And I had dismissed it as just-another-drama-movie until I watched it.This movie had everything I had wished I could see in a single movie.The beautiful landscapes,farmlands,open fields, view from sky,lakes and lovely geese of course.

Amy,the little tough girl,her eyes carried the strength of her desire.They were alight with her determination,her single mindedness.A fire alive with dreams,I love to see in one’s eyes,I could watch all this while in this movie.The crazy artist the dad is,how he can keep aside the rest of the world to follow one dream his daughter nurtures,free his mind is,is what I had wanted to see always.Free they fly and tame the sky.

The birds-when they fly high up in the sky and when they flap their wings in the lake ,were a visual treat for me.

Colors,dreams,open sky,birds,bond with birds and animals,beautiful places,vast beautiful open earth,free minds,flow of thoughts,a cozy little family- I wished such things didn’t belong only to hollywood.They travelled to us,touched our lives and made an artist out of each of us.

P.S. I loved the brown eyes of the Dad

Valley of flowers..

(Picked up from another bog of mine)

Nov 2,2009

Valley of flowers is one place that is on top of my list of places I HAVE to visit before I die and I somehow believe that my soul will keep shunting between the two worlds if I don’t get this wish fulfilled .Anyways,so I downloaded this movie Valley of flowers just because its name is Valley of Flowers.I was hoping I’ll get to get the glimpse of the valley or may be they will “atleast” tell something about the valley,but guess,despite somewhere being related to the theme,the movie guys showed nearly all valleys of Himalayas except this particular one only.But,that is not the point.The thing is -the movie is hauntingly captivating.I don’t know the technicalities the camera work comprises of , but it’s great in this movie-the Himalayas looked majestic-the valleys,the rivers,the rocky terrains,the costumes,the sages,mystic Eastern Asian philosophies,mysteries of Himalayas, the dialogues, the eerie supernatural touch , the plot, the suspense that hangs,beautiful and legendary portrayal of certain scenes- the subtle hints- I was glued to my PC.The sad part is – I could not understand quite a few things in movie,which well, all “great” kind of movies never explain.But I fell in love with this movie.

So, if anybody who reads this and has watched this movie , please explain to me -

from where did Ushna come?what was her purpose?Why did this elixir worked on its own will?And what on earth was causing Yeti-constipation – that he won’t let the two sweet lovers unite?

P.S. is valley of silence for real?
