The Wrestler.

Everyone is Gaga about Slum Dog Millionaire winning the Best Motion Picture of the Year and I was also all for it, I thought the movie was one of a kind, real depiction of a struggler who went from “Racks to Riches” but then I saw “The Wrestler” . I was Blown Away and for a simple reason that life gives us all we want but when it takes back its takes back everything.
Randy “The Ram” played by Mickey Rourke was a wrestler at the top of his game during the 80’s with video games, poster s , actions figures and liked by all; but 25 years into is carrier he find himself wrestling in a crowd less circuit; he even struggles to pay his rent. Alone, living with a broken relationship with his daughter, its shows how he tries to mend things with his daughter only to screw it up all over again. Randy only friend a potential girl friend Cassidy played by Marisa Tomei an older night club stripper shows her two parallel life but yet of the same coin; a life of a night club stripper and a mom, just trying to get by and how these two life’s cannot be mixed. I think it’s an eye opener for anyone who thinks otherwise for these kind of people for whatever reason they have.
There are many wonderful scenes in this movie which will make you want to cry. There a scene where this girl ask Mickey if he still wrestle and he says he’s still jumping off the top rope, knowing the situation and condition of his carrier; the speech before his last match was also a moving one; the scene where he is trying to enjoy his day job as a deli clerk and going by the name Robin, the scene was really fun and somewhat cute too. There are a lot of other scenes which are really superb and heart wrenching.
I can’t really speak much about the movie; you just have to watch it and tell me about it!!!
All the actors have done amazing work on this movie and I would be surprise if Mickey or Marisa doesn’t win Oscars for their acting on this one; guess just have to keep fingers crossed; though I am kind of surprise that it was not nominated for the Best Motion Picture of the Year.
It’s a Must Watch and if you are a fan of the 80’s metal than you will be thrilled with soundtrack, which includes songs by Quiet Riot, Cinderella, Ratt, Guns and Roses and Accept among others.

Act Of Goondaism!!!!

I fell sick to my stomach watching the Mangalore Pub incident yesterday on one of the new channels, at the same time I am furiously angry to see Times giving so less importance for this incident wherein the news got a small column in the 4th or 5th page. I wonder when will we do away with all these kind of nonsense; these so called Moral Brigade claiming to uphold the moral of the society; I asked them if they had ever looked into their own society and what good have they done apart from propagating Goodaism. I will tell you, this is all just heights of jealously and nothing else; they are so jealous to see the educated youth enjoying, going about their normal life and trying to grab whatever opportunity they get in these already difficult times, whereas these lazy, jobless good for nothing politically charged up and moreover corrupted to the core groups have no other better job to do, so they thought lets assault young boys and girls and claim that they are policing the society. When we are projecting India as one of the forerunner in the 21st century w can’t have these mindless groups roaming about in our streets claiming to clean up the society; if they pick up the garbage laying all over the streets maybe they can do some good!!! I appeal to whoever are the real Police of the Society to not only arrest the one’s involve in this particular incidence but also the leaders of these groups who are propagating all this nonsense.

Seven Pounds

While it seems that Seven Pounds is getting a lot of bad reviews in the press and yes for sure it’s not a movie wherein everyone would enjoy watching since it might be too slow or boring, but my opinion is, that the movie is a rare and one of a kind, a story line where you don’t see every day and would stay with you. I think Will Smith did an incredible job in his acting and Rosario Dawson, man she just looks so beautiful and gorgeous and her acting was impeccable. A story of forgetting one self, giving and sacrifice for the deserving and with a purpose. You might not understand whats really happening in the beginning and might be confused but then when you realize the reality of his purpose it will bring you down emotionally yet you will appreciate the beauty of the man’s intentions. It's a wonderful movie, something that you won’t expect and kind of make you question your own intentions. Hope you enjoy watching it.

Times Sqaure New Year 2009, Anderson Cooper.

First of all Happy New Year to one and all...

Saw the New year Celebration in Times Square, New York in CNN hosted by Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin; I thought the Ball Drop was a bit boring though it was exciting to see the thousands of people from different places gathered up to see that one "spectacle" if I may say. People from various countries lined up the square facing that freezing cold night; it is shocking to see how cold it was when a cup of coke freezed up in just a few minutes, though I guess it was worth the wait for all those people who where there; coming back to Anderson, I think he was excellent as always and he handled Kathy very well. I have to say Kathy is just a nonsense and I don't know why CNN got her in the first place; she was just making some stupid and silly comments about Ryan Seacrest and those silly questions she came up with asking Anderson; they did not make any sense at all and more over they were not funny. I just hope CNN get some one more appreciating and less moronic next time.

But over all I thought they put up a really good show though they could have shown more of the live performances by the various artist, but anyways good job guys and Happy New Year once again.
