Great Movie Week

These last three days I watched one movie each day in the theaters. Watched Avatar, 3 Idiots and Sherlock Homes. Also watched Rocket Singh last week. All were fun and a must watch movies.

Sherlock Holmes - Watched this yesterday. Good graphics and awesome acting by Robert Downing Jr. Felt really good when realised this movie just launched Prof.Moriarti into the picture (figure of speech) because I am sure there is a sequel to follow. The opening scene where Sherlock saves a girl from the sacrificial altar itself titilates you especially the scene where he hits the henchman after a pre-meditated calculation and thats when u wish that you also had the knowledge (to do a mental calculation) to act that way. I am not trying to write a review so will not write more, just suggest that you should watch it if you haven't yet.

Avatar - This movie has entered my all time favourite list. Coolest graphics ever seen plus the 3-D effect added to the delight. Just imagine the Toruk-Maktur (whatever that largest bird is called) whizzing at you and you ducking from its path and then wrenching your neck to trace the bird's path that just whizzed passed. Good movie for children as its more related to saving the environment from the human greed, but under parental guidance because I believe this movie is a little heavy for children to interpret the message - parents will have to help them out here. I especially like the part where in the NABI are able to make a bond with the animals with the nature around them and are able to feel the vibes - I guess that's what most humans lack - ability to empathize. The starting dialogue titilated me a lot where in Jake says that he joined the marines because he was in search of something that was worth fighting for - Jake found his but many of us are still searching for that thing and for some of us the search never ends. As said earlier not going to write a review - go watch it, get out of the couch and make it a day, its a full paisa wasool movie (worth every penny).

3 Idiots - Awesome entertaining movie the one that jiggles you through out the movie, though every scene is predictable but you will end up loving it. Good paced movie you will never feel bored. Even the names of the characters have been carefully chosen to make you laugh. The movie is based on Chetan Bhagats Five Point Someone. The movie revolves around Rancho (Amir) and his 2 friends (Raju and Farhan). It depicts the journey of these 3 students in and Engrg college. Students like Rancho who try to change the teaching system are very rare rather I have never heard of such a happening. The messages that I really liked were that we need to live life in the present tense and not worry much about the future and also that if we take up a profession that we are passionate about then you will never feel that you are working (but alas not many are able to find that passionate thing). I know numerous self help books say the same thing but still whenever that message hits you on the screen it jiggles you but the next day you are back at square one. Thats it guys.

Enjoy the movies if you haven't.
