Long time no see...

Oh well it's been quite some time since I updated my blog. So, here I'm to write a masala post, as I don't have anything to write on a specific topic.

Of the recent set of movies I've watched, I liked or (to say) was impressed by these 3 movies : Bala's Naan Kadavul, Arundhathi, The Blair witch project. I actually watched the Telugu version of Naan Kadavul & now and then translating the telugu dialogues to tamil for my room-mate :) Arundhathi was a good, rich in technology, fictional telugu movie. Guess, it'll be dubbed & released in Tamil. And and, about this Blair witch project : I couldn't get out of this movie for some 2 or 3 days after watching it, and I literally didn't sleep at all the night I watched the movie! :)

And of recently, I feel like I've not been really marching or working towards any proper goal & that I really have to concentrate more on what I need & what I should do, rather than just whimpering out all the time about what I'm not & I can't. Let me see if I'm keeping my word on this front! :)

I also feel like, I've been so immature all the times. It's like 2 weeks before I might have felt how naive I'm 1 month back, and now I again feel like how immature I've been 2 weeks back. That might probably mean I'm growing ? :P Well, I'm actually facing quarter-life-crisis.

On yet another unrelated note, the code I've written a month back as well looks like a real shit to me today! Yeah, I should've to learn a lot more in everything & everywhere!

HBP Teaser Trailer!!!

Ohoo.. It's finally out after a loong wait!!
The young Riddle rocks!
And DD in the Cave scene is cool too..
Can't wait for Nov. 21st :)

Deathly Hallows as 2 movies !!

Big news out for the HP fans (at least for me!) :D, that the final book of the fantabulous series will be released as two movies, and David Yates is going to be in action again!! Its always nice to have the same director taking an entire-series-of-anything, so that it could keep that feel of the movie constant through out.

Check out for more info here

OotP - First day first show

We made it for the first day first show, of the much awaited 5th film in the HP series, and that too in IMAX 3D. Fully packed magical treat running for around 2 hrs 20 mins, the movie has got such a momentum, and blind cuts in story line, which every ardent fan of harry potter wud feel about. I am not sure, how non harry fans would appreciate the movie, due to the pace in which the movie goes.

Umbridge rocks, Luna rocks, the 20 mins of explosive finale in 3D is not extremely awesome or something, but it was good. Sirius have been given more scenes with some touchy dialogues too to make all of us feel when he dies in the end. And I liked the Grawp scenes too, and when ever Ron and Hermoine are in the scene, the director made sure that they do silly things, being possessive on each other, etc etc building a strong base for Ron-Hermoine love affairs in the 7th book. It would have been nice if some few more minutes are spent on the final action scenes in the Ministry, though the wizards duel was awesome.

The Order rocks !!!

Expecto Patronum

Check out this link for an exclusive clip from the much awaited 5th film of the Harry Potter series. I just enjoyed watching the clip, where in Harry teaches the DA members, how to conjure a patronus. Its sooo cool :-)

And after the premiere in Tokyo, there has been reviews stating the movie to be the darkest and the best so far. And i just can't wait to watch it.

Some of the reviews after Tokyo premiere:

• Telegraph
• The Guardian

UPDATE : Here is another exclusive clip of the Escape of Bella from Azkaban which surfaced online.

Thala rocks in AP too..

It was yesterday morning, D seemed to be quite happy about something. 'Hey, Prasadz is releasing Sivaji in Tamil', he said. I just took that day's Metro plus, and was just scanning the movies column, when i was able to note that, 'Sivaji (Tamil) Sat, Sun 8:45 am' below a huge row of Sivaji(Tel) with daily around 6 shows or something. But felt quite happy that atleast there are 2 shows, and we planned to go directly to Prasadz before going to office, and D finished of his usual duty of calling people and confirming the show time in minutes this time, and we assumed that the booking is starting that day and there won't be much people in that early hours.

But we were wrong, we din't even halt our bike, and when we decided we should head back to the office, i just shoot this video. Take a look.

The Movie 5 ( OotP ) [ Character posters ]

I loved these 4 character posters released for the Order of the Phoenix movie. They are really cool. Just wanted to share them here.

Enjoy !! :D

The Movie 5 (OotP) [ Trailer ]

International Trailer


Theatrical Trailer


Its awesome, but the sound track isn't that good when compared to the Teaser Trailer. And am not sure whether this will become the best of the HP series movies. But my expectations are building higher because of the fact that, the last 20 minutes of the movie is gonna be in 3D in IMAX screens.. Ooooh, I just can't wait.. :)

Till next post,

బొమ్మరిల్లు !!! [Bommarillu]

Hiii...

Bommarillu.. We were trying to get tickets for this movie for the last two weeks, we failed, atlast we got to get up so early on saturday and watch a morning show around 10 am to watch this movie.. So wats that gr8 in this movie, which s makin it run house-full even after 4 weeks of time... hmm.. Even i heard tat some of my Colleagues, went for the movie thrice... :0

So, wat s that is different in this movie ?? I cant say it tat plainly.. But still i enjoyed to the maximum [even sittin n watchin in the 2nd row from the front.. :( ].. And also later realized tat the movie is a bit lengthy [3 hrs], but dint even feel a bit tat its lengthy !!! :)



Siddharth the son of Prakash Raj & Jeyasudha, was born with a silver spoon.. He has got an elder sister, elder bro n his wife n their children, younger sis.. and the family is big !!! But there is no much FUN in the family, they are even scared to speak loud in front of Prakash Raj [ THE naanagaaru {father}]

Prakash Raj, a typical father [high class and also a manchivaadu{a good person}], who cares for his children and their life.. So he impart each n every desire of his on his children in particular our HERO, Sidhaarth [Siddhu].. He made him as an MD n his company, but Siddhu has got no job except signin papers, while all the other jobs are done by his naanagaaru.. And Prakash Raj also fixes engagement for his son..

On the other side, Siddharth, a typical youth of the time, does feel a lot for losing his INDEPENDENCY.. And his aim in life being Career and Love Marriage.. And both of it were destroyed at a point, when he sees Jenelia [Haasini].. A typical character.. may be i felt tat "s she half-minded..??" [in some initial intro scenes] But a nice character.. {somewat like gajini asin} She s succcch an outspoken character and a naughty gal.. And this s the main thing, the movie s goin like anything..

She comes to his life, falls in love.. and Prakash Raj gets to know all abt this, After discussions.. He asks Siddhu to make Jenelia to stay in their house for 7 days, and after tat if they all feel OK, then "Success to their Love.." And the not-so-spoken, so much crowded house, starts to see all fun.. in tat 7 days 'coz of Jenelia...!!!
After tat, how the father-son cold-war things went on.. Tats the end of the movie !!!

Full of youth, fun, family senti and stuffs.. Nice movie to watch.. :)
I hvnt tried b4 to write a review abt a movie, this s the first one.. :( So ppl hav to adjuzz wid this.. :) :)
LOVE MAKES LIFE BEAUTIFUL !!!
Bommarillu literally meaning Toy House, has been chosen as the title to describe Haasini i believe.. :)

[One rumour around here s tat : Vijay got rights for dubbin this one in Tamil.. ;-) ]

The Movie 5 ( OotP ) !!!

Hi all..

Great expectations waiting amongst Harry Potter Lovers abt the release of the film of its series Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. It has been officially announced that the film will releasing on July 13, 2007 in US & UK ( Will the 7th book be released before that date, may be on 7-7-7 ?? Have got no idea abt that.. Will have to wait and read, whether J K Rowling has decided to kill Harry or Voldemort or both of them.. Nothing has leaked out except that 2 important characters will be dying )

Okayss... Lets leave about the 7th book and come to the Movie5 topic.. The film is being shooted very fastly now, after 2 months of break [ for the exam preparations of Daniel and Emma ].. So wat am i gonna write in this post.. We all know well that not every thing in the book reaches the big screens, and am gonna write about my own parts of the 5th book, which wont make into the movie.. ;) And which parts will obviously make into.. :)

All are my own expectations and imagintions.. He He he.. Here u go..

• The movie may immediately start with Harry, Dudley and the Dementors scene; And the immediate scene with the Dursleys making Harry to remain after getting that Letter from Ddore alone will be there (with the Dursleys & Co)..
• Then, How much of the 12, Grimmauld Place are we gonna see, And there has to be Kreacher (they cant do as they did in the Movie 4 without the other house-elf Winky), as Kreacher has got to do something in the end; Are we gonna see the noises of the Sirius mother's portrait.. I guess NO..
• So, this place will be coming may be twice, once b4 they get to Hogwartz, the scene in which Molly, Sirius fighting each other and telling to some extent wat the Order is upto to Harry
• And, the second time will be when Harry trying to find out whether Sirius is still ther or not; By that time Kreacher replying him.. So Kreacher has to be there in the movie.. YES
• I guess, Harry asking Sirius/Lupin about his father's behaviour to Snape will be cut-out...
• How much of the DA meetings are we gonna see, Hardy 2 i guess; One with any of the classes, may be wen all of them trying their own Patronus and the other; When Harry was caught Red Hand by Umbridge and the Malfoy & Co group..
• I can surely say, that most eagerly awaited scene, in which Cho kissing Harry will surely be cut-out..
• How much of Occlumency, I guess they will be surely showing Snape's worst memory; as i read somewer they r searching for artist for the Young Lily.. Hmm.. So the scene, in which Snape hanging in the mid-air s there for sure.... :)
• Then About Grawp; I thought it will be cut-out; But later read somewer that the forest scene involving Grawp has already been shooted.. So its there.. Is that really that important.. Huh !! Extra waste of graphics though.. :(
• Thestrals ?? Are they goin to show them.. I guess NO.. But how these Harry & Co reaches the Ministry ( The final action scenes at Ministry n which Harry & Co fighting the Death Eaters is the greatly expected scene.. How are they gonna show Sirius murder and the Duel bw Ddore and Voldemort.. This wil go for atleast 15 -20 minutes in the movie..).. I dont think they show up the Thestrals, i cant even imagine how Ron n Hermione travel in something that is not visible to them at such a very height flying in air.. So thestrals will be cut-out..
• How much of Umbridge scenes will be cut.. May be we will be shown 1 detention for Harry with her, then some 1 or 2 of the Ministry Rules imposed by her, and then the final forest scene.. And i think the Trelawney sacking and other Teachers anger with her will be cut-out..

Hmmm.... This is enough with the post, except that i myself wont be reading this post again.. Juz gave a try, am sure i have been bad at this post..

Anyways,

పోకిరి [Pokiri] !!!

Hi all..

Hmmm.. Pokiri, for those who are in Hyderabad wud hv known wat s tat all abt.. For Chennaities, i doubt !!!

Hmmm.. The major entertainment for most of the crowd over here in Hyd is watchin movies, movies and movies.. But still for ppl like me who r from Tamil Nadu [the only state in India, in which the ppl dont know any lang except Tamil/Eng.. huh..], we cant expect Tamil movies screened over here.. [Thou the case is very diff in Blore, which s very near to TN, and most of the population of the city contributes to Tamil ppl.. ]

Sooo, although ther r PVR Cinemas, IMAX and a very large number of decent theatres around here in Hyd, I cant anymore watch a Tamil movie in Theatres..... I wll continue watchin gud English movies, apart from tat...Hindi movies hmmm.. But still i prefer Telugu movies than Hindi... As am learnin Telugu frm my room-mate, and also i lost my hope in Hindi as am tryin it for years but cudnt get a grip on tat lang.. huh.... May b Telugu is a bit more like tamil and am havin confidence tat i cud make it up.....

So wat s the post all abt, and am blabbering something else... Hmm.. Pokiri is the first Telugu movie which i watched in the Theatre [this weekend], Mahesh Babu n Ilena bein the stars.. And i pretty much liked the movie, though i cudnt understand each and every dialogues.. My friends out here are used to watchin Telugu movies and according to them this film of Mahesh Babu is not upto the expectation... and according to them Okkadu and Atthadu being better than this one..

Anyways... Fr me itzzz nice watchin a telugu movie n tat too a complete action movie [ there s no much diff bw the movies comin in Tamil n Telugu industries.. ] Those guys who dont even know a bit of Telugu r comin to watch Ilena and the gals for Mahesh babu.. huh...!!!

Okies.. Till my next post
