INCREASE YOUR General Knowledge! Part 3

alrighty!
I hope I've given enough time to everyone to digest the first two posts!
This time, I bring one that is on a lighter vein.
It is something nerds and geeks DONT TALK ABOUT REALLY.
It's more youthful and a favourite leisurely activity for some of us especially!
That includes me too! So here's one,that I hope will get everyone reading!

The MOVIE REVIEWS!

Not in order of preference,


1. Quantam Of Solace : 007.
Alright.So we have Daniel Craig as the new bond in this film. He's done justice to his role.
However, the film in itself, has not lived up to its legendary name! It doesn't have enough substance. It is more action,and less story. And even the action will fail to amuse some men. It is about how a spanish/italian bad bloke[i don't really know.the name's dominique greene.so go figure] strikes a deal over a land which is APPARENTLY rich in oil.and He promises the better of the society and care for environment blah blah blah. And our Hawtty 007 discovers that it is all fake and blah blah blah. For men who're looking for steamy scenes : you'll be disappointed.

My rating : 2.5/5 stars.

2. Madagascar : Escape 2 Africa
AWESOME.AWESOME.AWESOMEEEEEEEEEE. Now if you haven't had enough laugh for the day, perhaps this is the BEST MEDICINE! It's truly adorable, funny and touching. Yes,it's animated and Yes,it's a family film. But most importantly, I think youth like us should watch these kind of films to get the best of the best humor. The characters are way too cute to resist the film. The film is a continuation of the last one. However, if you've not watched the last film, be not afraid to watch this one! Cos' the last few scenes of the part 1 has been added to this one.
The story is about how Zoopa[the lion]'s kiddo Alex lands up in the Central New York Zoo and becomes a heroic animal icon there. and then somehow,i won't tell how[watch the film for that], he lands back up in his hometown. He goes from HERO TO ZERO EVEN WHEN HE'S RECOGNISED AS the jungle of the king Lion Zoopa's SON!!!! To build back his image, he does something for his fellow animals and that's how the story goes about. It's sweet and funny. The dialogues are the best! Seriously. It's one that I wouldn't mind watching AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!!

My rating : 5/5 STARS!!! :D

3. Four Christmases.
Ah..Not much really. It's a pleasant film but I think more suitable for couples who're in a live-in relationship or for those who've been in a longggg relationship. It's about how a couple are about to celebrate their christmas in a new exotic destination.Basically, chill out,surf,sun and sex.
HOWEVER, all of it comes to a hault when they realise their flight's delayed due to bad weather conditions. So they end up having to celebrate it with their divorced parents. Yep, Reese Witherspoon's parents are divorced and so are Vince Vaughn's. Which is pretty much the reason why they never got legally married either. Nor do they have kids. Cos' they don't wanna end up like their parents. So they have their FOUR Christmases. Now you get the logic when the tagline said : His Father.Her Mother.His Mother.Her Father. All in one day.
Movie's good. For Vaughn's & Witherspoon's Fans : this one's out for you guys too. They've done justice to their roles.

My rating : 3/5 Stars

Being the Biggest Fan of Salman Khan, saying that I was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WOULD BE AN UNDERstatement. Not only did the film look bad, but my handsome hero wasn't lookin' all prince charming in this film either. The film had too many dilemmas. I would say, it was "overcrowded" with crisis. There were way too many things going on at the same time and everything was overly dramatized. Ghai's this new venture seriously leaves us clueless as to what on earth is happening in the film. It is supposedly about 3 brothers and how their world turns upside down when their father dies. However, the plot is too confusing. There is no true one focus on a particular subject/object. There are unnecessary songs and except for 2 songs, they all suck REAL BAD. I am truly surprised. Shocked. MUCH MUCH MUCHHHHH MORE THAN disappointed. Had they stuck to one simple problem and solution and structured their film well, this may have passed at least a decent 3 star rating.Only good point in the entire film was anil kapoor's acting. Salman Khan and Zayed Khan did justice to their roles. It isn't their fault that their script was so melodramatic and awfully wrong. But the fact that such commendable stars signed on such a sad and pathetic story is their fault. Even if you're a salman fan, I won't recommend this one.

My Rating : 1/5 stars [1 for my love for salman]

5. Oye Lucky Lucky Oye!
awesome. simply awesome. Abhay Deol's a rising star indeed. You can add him to the list of our current classic actors such as konkona sen, rahul bose,kaykay menon and rajpal yadav. He's done a wonderful job in this film just like his previous one : Ek Chalis Ki Last Local. The film's based on him-Lucky, who grows up to become a better and only better and then perhaps the BEST THIEF! The film's a laughing riot. It's a very fun film and if you're lookin for serious matter or love-sappy shit, then this one ain't for you. This one's a light-hearted film that requires few but sharp brain cells. He's the central character. So the rest of the supporting cast is not much to be said about. Paresh Rawal has as usual, done his best and it shows of course. Of songs, there's a track named Jugni which pretty much plays throughout the film. It's awesome. But then again, if you aren't game for punjabi music, don't go for it.

My Rating : 3.5/5Stars

EXCELLENT. FUN. NEW. ROCKS. This movie's got it all. New setting, new substance and good new beats that for sure will get you groovin'! Actors AB Baby and Johnny Honey Plus PiggyChops Sweets did alllllllllllllllllll well in this film! Not to forget, our very very captivating actor Boman Irani, who's comic timing is perfect. Bobby's role is too little for me to really comment on his acting skills. But whatever we saw, we liked. However, a more chivalrous actor could've done a perhaps better job even if it's for a small appearance. The movie's basically about how our 2 protagonists want to get this gorgeous house on rent but are denied access cos priyanka stays there and her Mamiji/Mausi[i forgot :P] will only allow girls to share the apartment with her. So they pose as gays and get the room only to fall in love with the beautiful ex Miss World. There is a lot more to this film. Watch it to find out what and how! It's beautiful directed and projected. Songs are truly melodious and catchy!Hatts Off to Tarun Mansukhani-the director! (:

My Rating : 4/5Stars
