'The Proposal' Reviewed

Yes Sandra Bullock made a great come back in Romantic Comedy after quite some time... 'The Proposal' is about how two people lie to their boss, colleague, family and friends to avoid deportation and continue working in united states. They pretend to be in relationship, when they have no idea about each others life. Sandra Bullocks blackmails her personal assistant Ryan Reynolds to marry her, so that she can avoid being thrown out of US, get US citizenship and continue living her life as highly powered publishing executive in one of the leading firms in New York.

This romantic comedy - with a very predictable end, sure is a promise to make you think, you should aboard a plane to Alaska. Well unless you know that these picturesque mountains, beautiful lakes, and the lush green trees of Alaska are actually shot in a small town called Rockport in Massachusetts and not in Alaska!!

The movie has quite a few hilarious scenes and dialogues, but with no original plot or creativity. Its just for an easy laugh after a tiresome day at work.. Do not expect anything out of the blue, the whole plot is quite predictable and overall its a good time killer. Its always good to have a laugh with such appealing stars on the screen. So if you want to go and have some fun, head out to the theatre and go and watch this movie. You sure can imagine the end before even you get out of the parking lot to buy your movie tickets...

Sunshine City

One of the best vacations ever! America's southernmost vacation resort is one of the world's best sought tourist attraction. Yes, you guessed it right - Miami - Florida..
Miami has got something for all different kind of people from different place. Not only is it wonderful place to relax yourself from a stressful work life but at the same time a great place for the water sport aficionados and passionate sailors. There are many beaches on the entire coastline, each having various things to offer to tourists of all age : South Beach, Central Beach, North Beach, Key Biscane, Bal Harbor, Surfside, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderale and many more.I personally felt south beach was one of the best miami beaches. The deep blue waters and the golden sandy beaches can offer a great relaxing day under the sunshine.

It was an awesome trip to florida for 5 days.. Yeah my hubby swept me off my feet by taking me here for a surprise vacation... Our trip kicked off with Blue Man Show. It was a different kind of drama, musical and comedy I would say. The drum beats were too good to keep the audience from cheering. Two days in orlando were totally amazing with various roller coasters at universal.. Although these 2 days were pretty thrilling, they were indeed tiring and so we went off to south of florida - miami to relax a bit and get lil bit of sun.. These two days were simply adorable. The quiet waters, sandy beaches, the lighted city with soothing background music could draw any tourist back to this vacation spot without any doubts.

I love traveling and the more I travel, the urge to travel grows deeper and deeper... And yes my favorite vacations will always be by beach sides!! I can never get bored of beaches.. I guess I fell in love with beaches when I was at Surathkal doing my graduation. And ever since, beaches keep attracting me towards them...

'Hangover' on a monday evening!

We could not make it for Hangover over the weekend, and were just waiting for the eve so that we could catch up this movie. Its been 3 days since its released and we had not yet watched.. Still debating if we should go for a 7:15 pm show or 8:30 pm show.. And we threw our shoes and jacket on at 7:10, and headed to amc. Phew!! Tickets SOLD OUT for 7:15.. We had to go for 8:30 one... We had 45 minutes to pass, and the only thing we could think of was CPK.. (My next post is going to say about our 4 CPK trips in a span of 10 days!)

Finally the wait was over, and we got in the theatre quite early to make sure we get good seats. Started watching the trailors to decide whats next after Hangover...

The movie is simply Hilarious!! Must watch.. Its about 4 friends who end up in a total mayhem just before a wedding is going to take place. Groom's last night before wedding in Vegas, was meant to be a fun bachelor party, and it turns into a total unexplainable wild night where nobody could remember what happened, and they get up with a baby in their suite's closet and a tiger in the bathroom :-) Totally unexpected events take place throughout the night and they wake up the next day only to realize the groom-to-be is missing! One of the guy wakes up the next day to realize he is married to a stripper and that he is missing a tooth!! Todd Philips the director of the movie has well depicted the humor along with shocking discoveries and how the trio regains self confidence slowly and put in efforts to backtrace their steps to find their lost friend!

The movie has characters who are admirable and funny and the series of event do get explained in the end! The story line was amazing and well made with each unique character!!

If you have not yet watched the movie - please go and watch the movie and I promise you ll have a non stop laughing session for 100 minutes!

This Summer - Movie Season

Even though both of us have loads of important things to do everyday, we somehow find time to go and catch up a newly released movie. Its been just a fortnight since I am back from my India trip, and ever since then every other day you will find us in amc theatres with a large bucket of popcorn and pepsi. There is something about the movies this summer, that we are unable to resist and we have to watch almost every single movie released whether the review is good or bad :D
I know this is an addiction, but may be its for sometime and as the season changes, I am sure the movie fever will fade down as well..
The crave for the movie is growing more and more with every passing day - and now its like we cannot wait for the new one to get released but we have to .. no choice...
To name a few, we watched Angels and Demons, Star Trek, Night @ the museum, Terminator Salvation, UP.
The next few ones in line are Hangover, My Life in Ruins..
Does not end here.. Already waiting for 'The Proposal, Transformers, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Ice Age, etc' to get released.

A rainy day!

Its been raining since I have got up. Does not look like its going to stop. A gloomy weekend i guess with no sunshine.
It reminds me of the beginning of a recent movie I watched. Yes you got it right - UP!
There is a cloud, that fails at each task it is trying to do. Tries hard, and just cannot be one like other clouds - who are really good at their work! Finally the cloud gives up, it is sad, angry, depressed and starts crying - yeah and it starts RAINING!

There is not much I like to do on a rainy day. We had plans to go and watch the new movie released yesterday - Hangover - but as I said I dont do much when it rains. So here I am sitting next to my window with my mac.

Everytime it rains,
I feel like going back to old days.
Everytime it rains,
I feel like sitting by the window pane,
Everytime it rains,
Clouds cover the sky for certain,
Everytime it rains,
I wish he holds me tight again,
Everytime it rains,
Are the angels crying again?
And everytime after it rains,
There is a bright sunshine again.

"UP!"

This would be my first post ever on a movie review.

Yet another film from PIXAR. All of us have a child in us that enjoys the pixar films. Though people enjoy pixar films a lot, say it - finding nemo, incredibles or wall-e, I guess "UP" was great when it comes to the script, story line, animation in itself but didnt hit it off like the previous ones. This movie was a bit of let down, may be I expected more from the film than it had to offer.
Up had many emotions to offer: happiness, sadness, love, loneliness, fun, adventure, still it did lack something to keep the viewer going. There was lack of action and there was no race for anything. It was a slow and steady wins the race types of movie. Though it started with a very funny note, it struggled to keep on the funny dialogues through out the movie. Up is a story about old man who lives his wife's dream after she is gone!! Life is all about adventure, is the message throughout the movie. However, the adventure somehow didnt turn out to be as exciting as it could have been.

These are my personal thoughts, some people might have loved the movie. Ofcourse the theatre was full and surely audience had expected a lot from the disney pictures. I would not say not worth watching the movie, but remember if you head out to movie theatre to soak up in this emotional tale - its not one of the best pixar films! Expect less and may be you will like it!
