At last, I completed my novel Jane Eyre. And was pleasantly surprised that it matched the BBC Series of the same novel I had seen. And I was happy that both the book and the BBC Series version gave me the same happiness, just like it did for Pride and Prejudice. It is a sheer pleasure to read such novels, which has quite an exquisite language which is so cute and its characters so strong and yet so humble and humane. I admired the character of Jane when I watched the BBC Series version, but liked it more when I read it.
Books are always our best friends, atleast they are mine. I have to stop reading the novels for some time now coz I have too much work pending in my official front :) which I have to attend to now with fullest of my attention.
Before I leave, there was a movie which I saw over the weekend, of which I should mention a word or two. The movie was 'Finding Neverland'. A very touchy and moving story told in sublime way. All the characters in the movie were filled with so much life that it transported me to their world for some time. A very cute children's movie. 'Catch It' next time, if you have missed it.
Hasta Pronto!

2012 - Digital Wreck
I didnt have much of any expectation from this Roland Emmerich Movie because I knew from the trailors it wouldnt be anything like "The Day after tomorrow" but yet wanted to watch it in large screen (I missed seeing The Day After Tomorrow in big screen) and God I wasnt disappointed. It was nothing like "The Day After Tomorrow" :)
It was a little cliche'd where we knew that these people would anyway survive and Joan Cusack will come out of that chamber anyways, but still it was worth a watch. Why ? These movies rekindle the hope in humanity. That when we are faced with a greater danger above our control, we do unite, atleast to have someone in the aftermath of the catastrophe :) along with us. Just kidding. But yes, it definitely makes us hope that such a disaster, if predictable, can be resolved much earlier and God forbid, if we are pushed to it by no other chance, atleast we are there for each other to hold hands and fight it, irrespective of the scale of destruction.
I was a little disappointed that even though the digital imagery was well seen, it wasnt too convincing in some places. The cinematography could have been little better. Human sentiments in a few places were touchy though.
It was a Friday morning show and guess what the movie hall was full :), so would I recommend you to watch it? Well why not. Why not see what we might have done to our dear Earth and what we might expect from it and if we get to see the same wreck as this, what we can expect out of it and what we might consider. (I know I am going over board...so will stop here). Well worth a watch though, if you have time for such movies or atleast for a little more hope in life.
