Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1

Harry Potter ..... I still remember the line in The Da Vinci code

Robert Langdon : The Holy grail is the best sellin book of all time

Editor : Don't tell me the Holy grail is Harry Potter

Robert: I actually mean The bible

Harry Potter was a phenomenon . Every person of my age ( i.e. 20 now) was totally hooked to the books.

This picture aptly shows the phenomenon Harry Potter . ;)

I am a die hard fan of the Harry Potter books .... I must have read the first 4 like 15 times and the next three about 5 times so u can see I am pretty much a crazy follower of the Potter series.

To be honest I have never expected much from the Potter movies for the very reason they have been thoroughly disappointing as compared to the books. That being said the movies have progressively gotten better atleast in terms of ability to engross the audience.

Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows is no different , a definite improvement over the Half blood prince .... better visual effects , a more succinct version of the book & even better acting .

A must mention of the brilliant comic performance of Rupert Grint. The small jokes in between are very well done.

Basically for once the movie is fairly loyal to the book as far as possible . The build up of finding the hallows is done well . Also part 1 has a very appropriate ending with Voldemort ( oops) I mean The Dark Lord a.k.a He who must not be named finding the elder wand.

Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows is definitely the best of the series so far.

The only complaint which is actually not possible to resolve is I always feel that unless one has read the book he cannot possibly understand the movie thoroughly......there are various examples Harry Potter being one , The Lord of the rings , The Da vinci code , Angels & Demons , Eragon , the list is endless .

SO if you intend to see Harry Potter do try and read the books first , you will definitely enjoy the movie a tad bit more ;) and if you dont like reading go watch the movie neway its worth a watch :)

Band Baaja Baraat

Its the winter break and I am in Mumbai n back to watching movies with family and friends :)

Band Baaja Baraat ......the title has typical movie to watch with mom dad written all over it n so following these rules i did indeed set out with mom dad for a late night show. I was also keen to see Anushka Sharma who looked like a million bucks but more on that later

The movie Band Baaja Baraat after YRFs long run at the box office without a decent hit is a decent movie but definitely could have been better

The 1st half starts out at a nice pace , good humorous bits and a decent story between Bitto and Shruti . Its just when u start to think YRF may have finally produced a winner the plot comes crashing down . The parts where they work to set up their marriage organizing agency are great but after that the entire drama of the one night stand the crying and weeping not to mention the overtly explicit scene which was not needed leaves u waiting for the movie to END and also leaves u sorta uncomfortable sitting besides mum ;)

Although the movie tries to salvage something towards the end by a grand wedding and love between bittoo and shruti but by then the audience has had enough

So summarizing a fantastic 1st half completely ruined by the 2nd is the story of Band Baaja Baraat !

As for the performances well both actors do a great job , Ranveer with great comic timing and Anushka looks great , happy n bubbly.

But had the 2nd half been even average the movie would have been worthy of its title :)

INCEPTION

INCEPTION !!!
okay i kno i m bein repetitive by
a)repeatin the title
b)after millions of reviews nd discussions now m writin abt this
but hey this movie is dat damn good no wait its not good its GREAT .... MINDBLOWIN even
i jst saw it on my 40 inch lcd after waitin for the blu ray release like forever ( i dint actually buy the blu ray though jst got the rip frm sumwher) neways i sat in complete silence throughout those 150 mins nd i ws simply in AWE .... the movie is jst soo amazin
The plot which u all must kno is a lil complex and also sorta addictive i mean durin the movie u actually find urself count at wat level r they now n how a fall wld wake em up ..... n the synch sequence .....the kicks ..... the movie suprisingly makes u understand all this with such ease nd clarity ... the way the convoluted story is told with a dream within a dream within a dream within a... (wait i think v r done ).... dream ...(just to make sure ) oh well u get the point how complicated it can get n showin this on screen ......hats off Sir Christopher Nolan .... u ve definitely outdone wat u did with the dark knight nd i cannot possibly dream ( word play ;P ) dat u can better this but i sure hope u do
Ofcourse Ellen page pulls off a super performance n sure Leonardo is amazin but the movie is all Nolan .....the way the story is told .....the brilliant sequences ..... all credit to 1 genius alone ..... i kno many may say its a bit off a rip off frm Matrix etc but well screw you coz i say Matrix is not even half a movie of wat inception is ...... INCEPTION is a movie one cld ve only dreamt to have seen ( gosh i oughta let the sly dream puns go ) .... neways INCEPTION definitely for me is the GREATEST movie of this generation nd nolan is not the speilberg of today .....he is more .... :)

The Scooby-Doo Show

Just The Facts

1. Scooby-Doo is one of the most popular shows ever.
2. I have no idea why because it is shit.

The Dumb-Ass Characters

Shaggy Rogers:

Random hippie who sports permanent stubble and an anorexic figure, even though he eats like a horse and gets high on food, especially Scooby Snacks. Which are dog snacks. Seriously fucked up. Serves as bait for the monsters along with Scooby. On a side note, Scooby Snacks are for these two what spinach is for Popeye. Except it gives them courage instead of strength.

Scooby Dooby-Doo:

A dog who can talk, the reasons for which are never explained. AND I DON'T WANT THEM TO BE...

Still, we can speculate. A dog possessed by a demon from hell, waiting for the right moment to kill everybody? Result of a crazy government experiment to make super dogs which failed miserably, giving them a clumsy, moronic dog that talks like a two-year old, loves food and pisses itself at the sight of its own shadow? Extreme gayness? I know that that wasn't a question and is not related to anything I previously said, but look at the 1st image of the post

This happens a fucking lot in this show. Sometimes Scooby jumps into Shaggys arms. Isn't that all child-friendly and ni - no it isn't you bastard.

You think I'm joking?

My Day As A Character In The Scooby-Doo Show

Prologue:

The ghost shows up and scares some people.

Cue theme song.

Mystery Machine traveling along a road when it has to stop due to some problem or the gang goes somewhere and is told about the monster by this one guy who keeps telling them to leave throughout the show.

Shaggy: Did you say monster?

Scooby: Reah.

Me: AAH! DEMON DOG!

Fred: Alright gang! Let's search for clues. Shaggy, Scooby and Velma, you go check things over there while me and Daphne check things over here.

Me: No, I'll go with Daphne.

Fred: No.

(Some time passes and Scooby, etc. are shown. There is some sound.)

Velma: Jinkies! That sounds like the monster?

Shaggy: Didja have to say monster?

Scooby: Reah.

Me: You say that in every episode, you fucks.

Monster shows up and Shaggy and Scooby make their wacky escape along with Velma.

Shaggy: Run, Scoob.

Scooby: Reah

Me: Is that all you say you hellspawn? What are you so afraid of anyway, it's a guy in a really badly made costume. And after six different shows in which there has never been a real monster, EVER, I really thought you guys would realise that ghosts and monsters don't exist.

Shaggy: The monster's back Scoob! Run!

Me: This show is so retarded.

Finally, after talking to some completely random characters and picking up some clues...

Velma: Alright, time to set a trap.

After a while.

Fred: Alright gang, I've set up the trap.

Me: This is needlessly complicated. How about a gun? Or the police? Where the fuck are the police anyway? On a side note, what did you and Daphne do while you were offscreen? Seeing as how Velma did all the detective work.

Fred: Shaggy, Scooby and the new guy who asks too many questions will be the bait.

Shaggy: Like, no way man.

Scoob: Reah

Me: For once, I'm gonna agree with these fucktards.

Daphne: How about some Scooby Snacks?

Me: Fuck you lady, I'm not going to run around for dog biscuits. Now, if you showed some skin...

Shaggy: Scooby Snacks! Let's go Scoob!

Scooby: Reah

Me: Fine, I'll try one. Do these have drugs in them? Be

cause I... wait a minute - oh fuck...

Me: ohgodohgodohgodohgodOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGOD

Fred: We'll wait here.

Me: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!! IT BURNS.

Monster is caught after a chase. Velma starts to talk about how she solved the mystery:

Velma: After studying the cl-

Me: Shut up. It's the person who was trying to scare us away. They created the monster to scare everybody away from their criminal operation.

Velma: How di-

Me: It's the plot in over half these episodes smartass. Plus, these drugs let me see through the fabric of time and space and know the deepest mysteries of the universe. Also, I can see through just plain fabric. BOOBS!

Criminal led away by police.

Criminal: And I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you meddling kids and your dumb dog.

I can deal with the repeating plots, dialogues, pretty much everything. But, then they did this
