Daniel Craig in Casino Royale

*****
5 stars.

Untouchable. This is what bond should be like.

All previous bonds had style, sex and martinis. Daniel's bond is that and mush more. Its arrogance and violent too.

He does not care if his martini is shaked or stirred. He may not have all the gandgets as the previous Bond but he is definitely much faster and agile.

Bond No.1. Bond has been rebooted and will be around for half a decade at least.

Will definitely recommend second viewing.




Dhoom2


Saw DHOOM2 during the weekend. On the release date, 24 Novemeber 2006 to be precise. The movie fell short of my expectations. So short that I didnot bother updating the blog..

Hrithik is Dhoom2 and Dhoom2 is Hrithik.He is just awesome in the looks, style and acting department.

Ash and bipasha are well there just to wear small out fits. Ash has a better role though. Bipasha is there for the front benchers. Bikini and sex appeal all the way.

Uday does make some chuckle worthy dialogues but Abishekh is wasted. Simply no comparison to Hrithik in terms of reel space.

The music is not as good as it should be but Dhoom2 will definitely be a hit thanks to the expectations, marketing and of course Hrithik.

But the action scenes are no where near as impressive as Hollywood. Some are just over done and totally illogical. But this movie is meant to entertain and Dhoom2 just does that. So forget about everything else and just enjoy the glossy cinema on the wide screen. At the end you will get a small twist as well. Which is predictable to a certain extent.

One may like this movie if the ticket is bought with the least of expectations. You will figure out what I ams saying as soon as the first whots commence.. Enjoy!

George Bernard Shaw


George Bernard Shaw said

"
A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth. "

How true.

1 year later

Our last encounter was at uni over an year ago when we both had to face a releagtion from our course thanks to a paper in arrears. The uni had decided to charge me £ 1200 to retake the subject in 2006 but let you walk in free of charge the following year. Thanks to the stress which followed we had to fight our own battles to ensure that we clear our arrears, complete the project in time & then find a job. One year later and we definitely can say that the worse is over. We definitely are better off than where we started off with the University of Greenwich. Rasesh nice to meet you after soo long a gap & hope the new year will prolong the good-fortune that you have been notoriously known for. God bless! But hope Chelsea taste a second defeat by the hands of Man United next week. We will see....


Every Don has his Day

Yes Kannan was taken by surprise as he was showered with love from Rakesh, Imon & myself as the clock hit 12. Thanks to a well planned and coo-ordinated operation by Rakesh & his partner,Nita we were able to celebrate the Don's birthday. Don has been eluding the birthday celebration in London since 2003. He claims to not have celebrated since 1996. But finally the chase is now over as Kannan enjoyed the taste of cake and even more. Happy birthday Kannan!

Kannan's birthday

Yes Kannan will turn age-X when the clock strikes 12 tonight. He's not aware that his ass is going to get kicked hard tonight.
