Ever After :)

A Cinderella Story! This is an adorable movie and I keep watching it over and over again just because it is so beautiful. Drew Barrymore is Cinderella and this movie is amazing since it makes you believe that fairy tales might in fact be true. There may have been a Cinderella a long time ago and maybe that was how the story was written..  The movie has an early sixteenth century setting and Danielle who is Drew Barrymore loses her father as a child. She loves books and Utopia is her favorite. She grows up with her step-mother and two step-sisters who pretty much treat her like a servant. She is always full of life and spreads joy to everyone. Then she meets the prince and an enrapturing story begins.. Prince Henry is fascinated by her ideals and simplicity  But of course, her step-mother wanted her daughter to be with the prince and does cruel things. But Leonardo Da Vinci is a dear in this movie and is always there for Danielle and the prince.  This mo...

Madras Cafe

Madras Cafe is truly an outstanding movie. It depicts Sri Lankan Civil War and the assassination of former Prime Minister of India, Rajiv Gandhi. John Abraham plays the lead role and has done an excellent job as an Indian Army officer who is sent to Sri Lanka to covertly handle operations to disrupt the LTF. This movie shows the suffering that people went through during this time and how humanity had lost its meaning.  As a dedicated Army Officer, John as Major Vikram Singh portrays his love for his country by literally going through hell. While trying to uncover the truth behind the civil war, he stumbles upon the conspiracy to assassinate the former prime minister. All the bloodshed and misery that people go through during war signifies to the world the importance of peace. It also shows that people with power and money can do anything or get things done. This movie is a must watch just so that people all around the world can see what war does to mankind.  A b...

Chennai Express!!!!!!

Chennai Express is a laughter riot. After a long week, you wanna kick back on Friday night and just relax. Think nothing and do nothing but laugh. :) Then you should consider watching this movie.  It is a fun ride between a guy from North India and a girl from South India and how they meet in a train and fall in love. It is full of jokes which are so mindless that you would feel like laughing at it for no reason..  The girl's dad is a big don and he was forcing her to get an "arranged marriage" done with a guy whom he felt was suitable. The girl obviously had other plans like falling in love and getting married! Deepika with her weird accent is just stupidly funny. Since it is a film by Rohit Shetty, you are in for a good treat of action that defies all laws of gravity and physics and anything logical. But it is still definitely the best entertainment ever!  Story-line  is pretty much two people who thought that they would never fall in love with each oth...

IJobs!

Just watched the movie Jobs today. I was waiting intently to watch it since I truly admire Steve Jobs. He is an inspiration! A visionary who makes you feel that your dreams can come true.  This movie started off with Jobs knowing very well that he needs to be the boss! That's the real deal!  Apple Computer started off in a garage and grew to be synonymous with innovation. It touches upon his personal life and also tries to make the world understand who Jobs is and what he believes in. Jobs along with his best friend started a company which has amazed the world in its simplicity and its design.  The most important thing is that he knew that the way to make Apple big was to ensure that it becomes an inevitable part of   anyone's   life. Opt for the change and be ready to take up a challenge. The first project he took up at Apple failed. His second project was not going great and he was removed from the company. It was downhill for Apple from then on. Thi...
