HP & HBP - Could have been better !!! (Contains Spoilers)

Hola! It was a crazy weekend with some bug fixes before the release of the product which really stopped me from updating the review of HBP. So here it is now, squeezing some time in between my work :)

This movie is certainly for the teens, with all those romances, pains of adolescence and very funny moments (courtesy: Ronald Weasley). But I definitely missed Ogden, Voldermort's craziness to collect memoirs, his visit to his maternal home... all of that.. But for those you havent read the book and who are going by the movie sequels, I guess it gives a pretty good idea of what an Horcrux is. And somehow the death of Dumbledore (which on reading I cried the whole night) didnt have much impact or atleast the same impact of what Sirius' death did to me. I guess Dumbledore should have petrified Harry (as in the book). That way Harry had atleast an excuse to not do anything for Dumbledore. And I seriously wish that they would have filmed the climax a little better with more fights and Snape's confession of being the HBP was very blunt.

Well as I said, nothing would match the imagination of ours when we read the book, but again to satisfy everyone even commercially, this was a better attempt than Order of the Phoenix, atleast it had some really funny moments.

Only one film of all the HP Series really impressed me and the only film which I felt was filmed better than the book was HP and PoA.

I wish the next two parts of the Deathly Hallows are better and atleast bring the essence of the book well.

Having said all of this, I still would like to see the movie again :) because, being in their world was such a nice experience. I was so engrossed (even when my mind was asking me when the serious portions would come during the watching of the movie) that I was taken aback when the title cards were put up. The rest of the evening, didnt go well because I was little upset missing my fav characters. It was as if I was there with them witnessing everything and suddenly I was pushed back to the muggle world. :)

One more thing I noticed was that , the kids have grown and they have grown well :D
I still remember Harry and Hermione from the first movie and how far have they come.

If you are HP fan, you wouldnt miss it. Go for it. Its good, except that it could have been better.

HP & HBP - Await for the results tomorrow

Tomorrow is the Paid Preview show of HP and HBP and guess what ! I have got a ticket for myself :)
Very eager to watch the movie during a preview show though and I have got the first show ticket. Double bonus :D

Will update my reviews on HP and HBP tomorrow as soon as come back from the theatre.

Aayirathil Oruvan

Hola. Encantado !! (Hello, nice to meet you). Finally, the weather has started changing here in Bangalore. Regular rains, cold days, aching feet :), wish to have something very hot and spicy, wow, Winter days are on their way.

I was listening to the songs of Aayirathil Oruvan (literal translation: One in a thousand) tamil movie. When I heard these songs initially, I didnt much like it, coz it was not in my league. Or that is what I thought. But slowly the songs are growing on me :D

Currently I like Maalai neram mazhai thoovum kaalam (just like the weather now. It is drizzling outside my balcony as I write this.) And it sort of speaks my current life situation also. So somehow I got hooked to this song. Then later the song sung by Dhanush, Un mela aasadhaan also seemed to attract me. There is one song in that movie, I guess it was written by Kavignar Vairamuthu depicting Chozha time frame, and it has typical tamizh grammar lines in it, which I found very intriguing. For e.g. eeru ketta edhir marai peyarecham. I am ashamed to tell that I know now nothing of the specify grammar names that are applicable to either english or tamizh. But the song is very interesting. Although, I guess there is a mix of telugu also in it.

All the whole, the songs confuse me a lot on what kind of movie it is going to be. Couldnt guess much. Except that from the news, I know that it happens in a forest and there are incidents representing the chozha period enacted by parthiban in that movie. Very interesting enough to make me watch the movie :)

No news on its release date though. Waiting....

Just some nothings :D

Hola! Que tal?
Long time no see :)

When get so much to write about at times you dont write at all isnt. Coz you cannot decide on what to write. It was just the case with me. Currently my life is just a whirlwind of so many happenings, just like the weather in Bangalore. Too many things happening on their own and I am trying to chew more than I can bite :) just to keep myself engaged (am I trying to fool myself ? Nay !! ). But sometimes, I just feel so tired of being myself. Wish I cud change to a different person for some time. It would be so refreshing.

But small small things do bring a lot of joy. Just like what happened today. Myself and a few of my friends bunked office and went to see Maasilamani Movie :) Can you imagine that!! and Gosh, we enjoyed so much. Film was very average and we werent bored, but the funny things that happened on the way and some humourous encounters made our day. It was literally a TGIF for us. It felt good.

Today I also saw another movie (not fully though, missed some parts in the beginning and middle, thanks to the regular and irregular power cuts) Anandha Thandavam, based on Writer Sujatha's Privom Santhipom. I had read only the first part, but wanted to see the move to get to know what would be in the 2nd part too. It was little heavy for the day. But it was the obvious ending. There can be no other. Isnt ? Ok, thats it nothing too heavy now.

At times, nothing is what is seems. I remember a dialog from Shrek , "Ogres are like onions, they have layers" .... Doesnt that apply to all of us. I know I am not making much of sense here, but I will come back and write about why I came to this later. I need some more time for that.

But one thing is for sure. I am much more a happy person that I was a year and half ago. I am grateful to God for giving me enough strength to take control of myself and feel life again after a long time. I hope, He guides me throughout.


Well enough of banters now, I am going to log off with the lyrics of the song which I have recently liked a lot (and this was sent to me a year ago by a person - whom I dont have any contacts now) and I happened to like that movie too, which I recently saw ( I had liked the first part of it too)

This song was the OST of Narnia:Prince Caspian

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before

All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and now one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye
