Watch Guru. It’s brilliant. Period!
Might review but I doubt I can do it justice.

Ps. The title means: “I don’t fear the Public, I am the Public”

V for Vendetta

Watched V for Vendetta, the movie, today. Excellent movie. Very well filmed and directed but most of all, it sticks religiously to the original Comic Book by the same name and written by the Great Comic Book Writer Alan Moore. Yes some parts have been changed for requirements of commercialization of the movie but it is largely the same. Really liked the movie. And of course, I do like the dialogue delivery and speech mannerism of Hugo Weaving who playes the title character. He is brilliantly supported by Natalie Portman who is extremely beautiful.

Ps. Since today is 1st of April, when the plan was made, I was a bit hesitant thinking that my friends might be playing a prank on me regarding the movie plan ;) Thankfully it was not so.

Pps. Rather disappointed that I did not get a chance to play any prank on anyone being that I am slightly on the prankster side :(

Feeling: chipper  Listening to: Linkin Park - She Shines

Hilarious observation by Chandrahasa. (This for straight people only :P)

Q. What is worse than a guy calling you after watching Brokeback Mountain saying he liked it?

A. Him saying he remembered you while watching the movie and hence called you!

:D

The Latest Bond Girl - Casino Royale

Eva Green

This is the latest Bond Girl. A 25 year old French Actress who will accompany Daniel Craig in the latest movie from the James Bond Franchise titled Casino Royale.

Though this image is quite flattering, I do not really consider her of the class of Denise Richards :-D And Sophie Marceu or Halle Berry.

As a matter of fact, I much more preferred Pierce Brosnan over Daniel Craig. Regardless, the best always was and will be Sean Connery :-)

Thanks to People Magazine for the original article

Doom - The Movie, A review

Feeling: sleepy  Listening to: Trapt - Headstrong

I finally got to watch Doom - The movie. And I liked the movie. The movie, surprisingly is pretty good at what it aims for. An emulation of the super hit game Doom. Maybe I liked it cos it was far better than some of the previous “video game” based movies I have watched (Mortal Kombat Annihilation, Final Fantasy)

Refreshingly, this movie is much better. It is an all out action movie full of blood and gore. No real acting required but due to it being fast paced, it kept me hooked.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson plays the lead actor, Sarge, a CO of a group of Marines who are ordered to investigate a remote research facility, where something has gone wrong. As they move into the go deeper into the investigation, they discover something far more evil, more dangerous than they imagined.

He is assisted by Karl Urban, and the rest of the marine team known as the Rapid Response Tactical Squad (RRTS). The beauty factor is provided by the cute Rosamund Pike.

The best part of the movie is towards the end when Karl Urban goes around the facility to kill the evil monsters and it is shown from Urban’s eyes just like how it would be when playing a FPS game.

The CGI in the movie is pretty good and over all, I would give it a 7/10 for a good watch.
