Happy Feet - Movie Review

Happy Feet...

I watched this only today, well yesterday since it's over 12am now, and had to write a review about it today itself. Though I don't like to watch Computer Generated or Animated motion pictures that much, this was one good movie I liked. It's all about the Penguins. There is this one outcast penguin, who was dropped when he was an egg can't sing. It seems singing is the way the Penguins get hold of their mates and Mambo as the Hero is named, cant sing. However he can tap dance, hence the name Happy Feet. Dancing is abhorred by all the Village Heads, the wise elders of the Penguin Community. Therefore he is shunned by everyone.

How he proves that dancing is not the root of all evil and some good can come out of it as well. The movie is full time pass and I really enjoyed it. It's an animated movie so watch it like that. Don't take too many things out of the movie. Just go there, sit, relax and enjoy it, thats all. Don't think too much about it.

There were 2 scenes which in the end looked like they are going to end the movie just like that. Now had they done that the movie would have ended leaving you wanting more. I had a warm feeling in my heart, which I seldom get. I was really moved in those scenes. Had they ended the movie then and there, probably I would have cried. (Yeah ! Right, me crying...LOL)

One thing I really was unable to do in this movie was recognize all the voice actors. I couldn't even place one of them. Though I did try for sometime, eventually I gave up. Think, I should have done some research before I went to the theater. There were some religious references that I noticed in the movie. Like the Village Head says "Pagan" and there was this Church that the Penguins see, which was the first Human made building.

Anyways this was a total time pass movie and you will enjoy it for sure. The highlight of this was that there were 10 of us in all watching the movie and I forgot about all the others. Probably the reason could have been I was captivated either by the movie or the girl sitting next to me :D, I don't know. Either way's I had fun watching this movie.

A Horrifying Experience.....

I never thought I'll go through such a horrifying experience in my life. Yesterday morning was one of the most forgetful days in my life. Though it was a horrendous, horrifying, horrible, hair raising and all the words starting with H signifying terrifying experiences. I pray to God that none will be subjected to this kind off experience in their lifetime. After close to 5 months, only this incident has egged me to write a post here. Think what kind off an experience this should have been. To wake me from my Blogging slumber and share this experience with all my readers. Probably not more than 3 people will read this, still this is a fair warning for the future generations who inadvertently might stumble on my blog :). One thing that's good from a blogging perspective is that you can learn a lot of things, personal experiences, career guidance, way of life, etc. And this will remain open for the entire world till time infinite or at least till Google is around. As always, let

Nothing is what it seems

Been quite sometime since I blogged. Wanted to goto the Blogcamp's Unconference at Tidel Park. Then thought what will I do there, a big question mark...so didn't Wanted to blog something here, but couldn't think of anything so copy pasted my old poem.... Nothing is what it seems I thought I couldn't fly But one day I tried And I really flew I thought I couldn't go the last mile, But I took one step at a time, Before I knew it I was there. I thought I was lonely, But when I looked around, I was not so alone (as I thought) . I thought I was sad, But when I looked inside, I was the happiest person alive. I thought I was bad, But when I looked at the world, I was as good as they can get. I thought I knew everything, But when I was questioned, I knew only about the mole and nothing about the mountain. I thought I knew you But when you left me, I realized that “nothing is what it seems'. I thought life was not fair, But when I looked at mine (life) , I knew that m

The Prestige Starring: Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Christian Bale (Batman) and Michael Caine. Disclaimer: Spoiler may be included in this review. Read on only if, you don’t mind getting a hint to the ending. When I saw the trailer of this movie, I understood what the plot was. And when I saw who the actors were, I realized this is a movie of Batman Versus Wolverine, because both the lead actors have played those parts and are well known for them as well (at least to me). Christopher Nolan the guy who directed Batman Begins is at the helm of this movie. Guess, that’s the reason for Bale to be cast in this movie. Not that I don’t like Bale, I thoroughly enjoyed watching him play the part of The Dark Knight in Batman Begins. Everything takes place somewhere around the 1800’s. The movie starts off with Hugh Jackman being drowned and Bale being accused for his death. It made me wonder how in hell does the lead get killed in the first frame. Then I realized that like some movies, the events ha
