World War Z - Movie Review

Weather you like zombies or not, you will love this one. The story, action and pace of the movie is superb. It's more of a blend of Contagion and a traditional zombie flick than a scary traditional Zombie movie.
The excitment of what next just doesn't stop. Bratt Pitt, who gives a solid performance, is no super hero but just a guy trying to figure out how to stop this pandemic of conversion into Undead. The thrills fast moving and smart.
The couple of issues I have with the movie is the production issues from early on with a lot of rushed and short scenes. And for the climax of the movie they have tried it to be conclusive but open ended. I was little surprised with the haste of ending the movie, personally I would have not minded another hour of excitement and more cohesive ending. But I assume they left us with the guess of the sequel.
Whatever may have said this is one riveting, intense, visceral, smart and exciting summer movie that will rock your world.I hope they come up with the sequel.:-)

Cheers

Man of Steel : Review

Christopher Nolan has done it again, Man of a Steel is a masterpiece. He has convincingly brought the legend of DC comics to life in an extraordinary adventure. This bombastic creation is reduced to a little more than a joyless cipher.  Synder provides an elegantly retelling of the origin story of that most saintly superheroes, Superman.:-)
It is difficult to revive a superhero, but Nolan, like the dark knight, has given a fresh look and feel to our new Superman. The storytelling is impeccable, it is easier than presumed.  Being the first of the series (which I presume it is indeed) the focus was on building a strong foundation of the existence of superman.
Henry Cavill, has convincingly played the role of Man of Steel.  He has done a great job filling the shoes of our first Superman Christopher reeves. His acting skills are convincing to a super hero looking for answers. I’m so glad he got rejected from “Twilight” series, Can’t imagine him portraying a goofy Vampire.
If you are a Super Man fan…go watch it. It is well written, Acted and Directed. I will again say the best party is the storytelling..it is poetic, and the confluence of current and Flash back scenes are convincing and answer most of the questions unattended in the beginning.
Rolling Stone say…It is Caught in the slipstream between action and angst, 'Man of Steel' is a bumpy ride for sure. But there's no way to stay blind to its wonders."

Love me ...Love me not..!!!

It is when you don’t know if the love still persists or not, you start running away from yourself. You hate to be alone. You are scared to believe the realities facing you.
Long hours on the phone, cupid stories to giggle and day dreams everything has faded from the relationship. After years of affair two some don’t really know if they are meant to be together. It is the in thing today. Seriously I know so many couples who have stuck together and are now confused and puzzled when asked if you love each other. Some may say ‘perhaps’ and some may say ‘that they don’t know’, but no one really have answer to this close ended question.
My friends know each other since childhood, from schools to college to work; they have been with each other through thick and thin. But now when they are asked by their parents to get married, they freak out. They simply don’t know if they are in love. Or if they can be together for life. I find this completely ridiculous.
Confusion is the mother of all bemused decisions we take in our life. And if you observe it arises especially when you can’t avoid taking decisions. In love you fumble and restore, this is how an eventful relationship is like.
It is human psyche that you can’t be with anyone with whom you can’t share any vibe. You have been together for ages; this possibility leads you to become a habit to each other. And then it is when your love rises above its coo-chee-coo level. You may not talk to each other for long hours. But when you talk it’s your love that questions the well being, the desires, the anguish, the irritation and sometimes even your suppressions and confusions.
Talk, communicate, this is how any relationship can grow beyond. True Love can never die between anyone; it’s just the priorities that shuffle. And they will keep on shuffling.
Love should be a habit, it should be the confluence of two flowing energies meant for experience. Be with a friend, a friend who brings the best out of you.
