I didn’t update the movies list for quite some. The reason being my poor memory and the movies list got accumulated like hell. Moreover most of the movies are the ones that I saw for the nth time. Here I go again:

இதயத் திருடன்: Nothing to see except Kamna’s navel. Worst are the lyrics, Unable to believe that it is Vairamuthu.

சித்திரம் பேசுதடி: An average flick. It’s refreshing to see a villain coming in Ambassador instead of Sumo/Qualis. Evident that it’s a medium budget movie – No guns, no firing etc., and even no வீச்சருவாள்!!!! The biggest equipment used is a pen-knife. 44 marks in in Ananda Vikatan is too much. Hero is imitating Surya and didn’t impress me. But the heroine impressed though. Now BM is seriously considering switching over from Trisha to Bhavana as his dreamgirl. {என்ன கொடுமை இது சரவணன்}.

Saw காதல் கவிதை for songs & Isha ;-) And here comes the most interesting movie of the week – மலைக்கள்ளன். Actually we were looking for the movie – ரன். Both the DVD rental stores here said it has been rented out. What this implies is - there are more than two Meera Jasmine fans here in Redmond-Bellevue area ;-) Failed attempt in both the places led us to choose whatever we see first. Thus came மலைக்கள்ளன்.

Found a scuzzy vcd print of the movie Dishyum in the net. I thought of waiting for the original DVD but director Sasi in title card lured me {சரி சரி Sandhya தான் reason போதுமா ?} The story is about two people who are diametric, falling in love for each other. Yes n-th time in Tamil cinema. Most part of the screenplay portrays the characters of the two protagonists. Scenes were carved out very naturally. Still you get bored at some places. Dialogues for the hero suits well where as for the heroines, it is lacking reality. I feel that she speaks director’s tone rather than the characters. Comedy was silly at certain parts. In the last few years I have seen lot of movies where the dad of the heroine is a real good chap, who always shows green signal to the girls love. Shouldn’t he be the pain in the a**? This will make life/movie more interesting, right?! The last half-an hour was bad and the climax is same as Alaipayuthey. Both Jeeva and Sandhya had done well, Songs are good. Overall it was an average flick, expected a bit more from Sasi who already gave couple of hits. (என்ன தான் Sandhya படம்னாலும் நடு நிலமயோட review எழுதரியே Cipher..நீ நின்னுட்டடா ….) Should see the DVD print couple more times to get the most out of the movie…ஹி..ஹி…

The title is from Murphy’s Laws. To get the most out of those words you should know the sequence of events happened to me on Saturday.

I agreed to show my face via webcam to the people back home this Saturday morning. They haven’t seen me for a year and half now (used to send photos). Got up early and found that internet connection is not there. My room mate said that we had heavy wind and rain the previous night. Called the Comcast customer service and he said there is a network outage in our area, it’ll take time to solve. Uh… Soon chat was out of my to-do list. What to do next? No idea of sleeping again. Day dreaming was the first option I took. Spent half-an hour in it. Ok let me have something for breakfast. Gosh…no power now. Meaning - I can’t heat or cook anything. The bread loaf usually stays till I trash, but today was definitely not my day. I had finished it couple of days back. Hunger started to take control of my brain. I get mad when I am hungry. I came out to look for something to eat. Bad omen was following me. No Starbucks, No Mc Donald’s, no Top food store. Everything was closed temporarily as there was no power. I’ll get f***ing one sided head-ache if I don’t take food regularly. As frustration started to creep in,i forgot that i had a T-mart store right next to my apartment where you have coffee and some eatables. Ok let me order something for delivery. F**k my cordless will not work. Luckily my room mate’s cell had enough charge in it. Sh!t Romio’s was also out of service. Finally Domino’s came to the rescue. After having the last slice of pizza my brain came to real world. Out of joy I started to sing Unnai naan unnai naan from Jay Jay and we got the power. My room mate – "Idiot, you should have yelled earlier in the day". Grr….. ;-)

How many times this happened? All my hopes on Dravid shattered in few mins. I expected a lot from you dude. I don’t expect India to win every time but I expect them to fight every time. Looks like we gave up too early. Sorry Dravid, I can’t read those regular one liners like – Our batsman let us down, we didn’t bowl well in the right areas,blah,blah...anymore. Stop those sh!t statements. Do some good prep work before the match and execute it to perfection. A kind request to the media – Don’t ever say that Indian batting line up is one among the best. It sucks.

I guess this is the conversation Viru and Dravid had when they went to bat during the second innings.

Dravid: Did you get see places around Karachi?
Viru: No.
Dravid: I see an opportunity today ;-)
Viru: ?!?!?!

After getting out Dravid winks while passing Viru
Viru: I’ll be there when u reach the dressing room…

Ok, I don’t want to end the post with these useless rants. Here is a useful site that aggregates news for Indian audience – justsamachar.com. Really a great work.
