Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na..

Although this movie has a story story telling style that is eerily similar to Forget Paris.
The stories arn't really that similar. The movie is a nice sweet love story. But what makes this movie stand out is the way it is made.

The movie introduces Imran Khan (Aamir Khan's nephew) in the lead role as Jai Singh Rathore who is the son of a Human Rights activist mother and a Warrior father. He along with Genelia D'Souza make a wonderful pairing and are polar opposites. The movie is driven on their story and on the relationship. They are the best of friends and are inseparable. Everyone thinks they are in love. But they reveal they are the best of friends and nothing more.

Ofcourse it wouldn't be a love story if they don't fall in love now, would it? Well the story keeps you interested throughout with a really funny storyline. You should be in splits for most of the movie.

The music in this movie is outstanding. Even if you don't really care for a funny love story, you should watch this movie for an amazing soundtrack.

I'll give this movie 2 thumbs up and will call it a must watch.

Another win for Aamir Khan. The reason his movies seem to succeed is because he picks the stories very carefully. Congrats Aamir.

And his nephew? How is he in his debut role? Well he is good. In a few scenes he looks and gives you the feeling of a young Aamir Khan. Hope his next role lives up to the hype as well.

Cheers..
Watch the movie

The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight.. The sequel to the The Batman Begins.

If you have not seen Batman Begins, I suggest you see it first and then watch this movie, It will make a lot more sense. Because this movie picks up where the last one left off.

The Batman franchise has been a very candy floss kind of movie before this latest incarnation of the caped crusader came onto the big screen. This movie has completed re-written the way a batman movie should be made. It puts a much larger emphasis on the story and characters than on the gadgets and jumping off buildings.

I'm not saying that those things are not in these movies, but they are not all that is there in them.

The first movie ended with Wayne Manor being burned to the ground so in this movie you see Bruce Wayne living in a swanky Penthouse in Gotham City. The city looks a lot more like a modern metropolis than before, in fact looks a lot like New York or Chicago. And the Bat cave? It's replaced with an underground basement in the middle of the city.

The Joker played by Heath Ledger is a psychotic and intense super villain who is incredible in his last role. This is the first time any Joker has actually scared people with his performance.

I wasn't too sure if I liked Christian Bale as Batman in the first movie. By the end of the first movie, he started making a believer of me and in this movie, I couldn't think of a better man in the part. He looks and acts the part in both his incarnations.

This movie has a lot of wit and is well made. Although it is a bit long, it continues on it's story and shows the evolution of Batman.

Another character of note in this movie is Harvey Dent/Two Face. His fall from grace as the Hero of Gotham to the demented Two Face is very well scripted. Although this movie does not do enough justice to the comic book character by cutting his role so short.

Aaron Eckhart does the character justice by showing both sides of this man. He actually makes you feel for this guy who has lost everything and is driven to take revenge.

In another movie, or in a different setting, people might actually cheer this guy on. (Of course, it's not justified)

But well, they had to end the movie some how, and the way they do it, leaves the audience wanting much much more of this New Caped Crusader. the Dark Knight.

All in all, I'd say this movie is a must watch for any one who likes a story that keeps them gripped, and if any comic book fan misses the movie.. Don't call your self a fan anymore.

The movie is Brilliant.

Another Year.. Another Birthday

Hi Guys..

Been a few months since I've blogged.. Work's been a killer and well frankly, I have not had much to Blog about. Where are those days where I used to write almost every week.

Anyway, I had my birthday yesterday. I don't know, Didn't really feel like a birthday, Felt like any other normal day. Got up at 11 and went for a long drive in my car.. Oh yeah.. I never did mention that on my Blog. I bought my first Car.. A 2001 Honda Civic.. It's a cool car.. Silver Gray and looks clean.. Anyhow, the drive was cool.. Just drove around Dallas and came home. So, when I told my rommie's that it was my birthday the looks on their faces was something to behold. Nothing to really say.. [:)] ..

So that was my day.. And then hit the sack in the night so that I could work the next day..

Wow what a birthday.. [:P] .. (For those who don't realize it.. I'm being sarcastic) Where are those days where I was surrounded by my friends and the day just felt so damn special.

This was the last birthday of my Bachelorhood.. The next time I have a birthday I'll be a married man with Presi by my side.. [:)]..

Hey that's the first time I'm using her name in my Blog I think.. All these years it's been My better half, my love or my girlfriend.. [:)]..

So by the way, I started my Birthday with "Batman - The Dark Knight". I'll be reviewing the movie shortly.. Look out for that..

Cheers
Have a great time..
And thanks for reading..
