getting there...

Slowly but surely I am loosing my patience for the weather here in Milwaukee... It continues to stays cold.. under 5 degrees Celsius... with rain and wind and occasional snow...


a week back thinking about the Spring was easier, and now its just getting build into a desperate cry for some warm(er) weather !!!

And this weekend was a movie weekend... well almost..

Saw

  • Monsters Vs. Aliens (Beautiful animation... my favorite being the character of BOB... there is so much that you can see in the eyes when you are watching an animation movie... loved it.. )
  • Straight (Vinay Pathak needs to get out of roles that focus on self pity... he is getting boring and very very predictable... Need a helping of Bheja Fry to get over this one ! I felt it was slow movie... at least the first half was very very slow)
  • Alu Chat (A lot of people have not really liked this one, but I really enjoyed the movie... some dragging parts here and there, but overall a decent one time watch.. even laughed out loud at a few scenes... worth it... felt that Saurabh Shukla should have been in the movie, though Manoj Pahwa is an excellent actor, I still missed Saurabh Shukla)
  • Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Though I have seen these, but I want to see all the Harry Potter movies again... and then will watch the Pirate's of the Carribean series followed by Matrix)
  • and a lot of episodes of Scrubs (Season 3... I really like JD and Elliot... there is something about them that I relate to so well.. and Dr. Cox and the Janitor are lovely characters as well)
I wanted to watch Fast and Furious, however I am not going to see it on the laptop... it needs a big screen.. for that matter almost all firangi action movies do.. and animations as well.. I am hoping to watch it next week and then Transformers-II is coming as well... need to find an iMAX for it.. not watching it on the regular cinema screen by any chance...

  11. hehe..your comments seemed mor like a weather bulletiwn to me..kewl..poore world ka temperature ad weathr pata chal gaya!!
    well hope the sun shines soon!!

    And yeah..i Liked Aloo chat too!! (may be because of the fact that i saw it in the threatre, and all the movies I watch there are usually enjoyed and appreciaited by me..atleast because I pay some attention) :P
    plus i saw "anywhere but hme" which was a light comedy..and also Tasveer (which I again liked because of obvious reasons)

  17. @ Vaishali...
    the sun is shining nice and bright today :) still cold but warmer than the weekend...

    anywhere but home.. let me see if I can catch that one sometime...

    yea I felt Garam chai makes more sense than just comments :)

    @ Sangfroid
    :)

    I want it warm(er) than what it is right now... I am ok being away from the heat :)

    @ FighterJet
    yea... Ati har cheez ki buri hoti hai

    @ NZ
    yea the story was no big deal, but the entire package was something that i could enjoy... also maybe because I was not expecting to be worth watching anyway, I was happy to smile and laugh at a few scenes :)
