Weekend Updates !!!

Last week I had four days off, actually only 3 but I took one more day off to make it 4 in a row. Apart from that my quota of leave was also under utilized :). Its has been quite sum time since I have slept till afternoon, the reason for this being I have to wake up at 6:30 A.M to go to office everyday and during the weekends I have to wake up even more early to play cricket. But these four days I never got up before 12 PM :). All in all watched 8 movies in the four days :). Let me list the movies one by one.

1. Shawshank Redemption - Yeah yeah, I know . Better late than never.

2. Butterfly Effect - Dint get the head or tail of the movie during the first hour of the movie, but I never knew it was going to be worth the wait. I even called up the guy who suggested the movie and uttered unspeakable obscenities. But that guy since he has already seen the movie suggested that I be patient and watch it till the end. In the end I was like wow, what an amazing concept. Try to watch the movie when U get a chance and yeah don forget to watch it till the end.:)

3. Fantastic Voyage - This movie came up in sixties and for that time this movie has amazing graphics. The movie is based on one of the Asimov's books.The story of the movie is sum thing like this. There is a scientist wid the brain tumor and he is in coma. There is a technology to miniaturize a person. Hence what they do is miniaturize a submarine wid five people and injects the submarine into the blood stream of the victim. The idea is to get to the position of tumor using the artery and use laser beam to destroy the tumor. The catch is they can stay miniaturized only for 60 mins after that they start growing back to their old size. Whether they are successful in destroying the tumor or not, to find out that, go the nearest DVD renting shop and get yourself a Fantastic Voyage DVD.

4. Hotshots 2 - Absolutely hilarious. Spoof of Rambo with US politics and war on Iraq.

5. On the Line - This is a romantic comedy. This guy meets a gal on the train and they have some arbit conversation and after that she leaves. But later out hero realizes that he is love with the heroine but he doesn’t know anything about her. So what does he do, sticks posters asking her to call him on a particular number. Suddenly he gets calls from every desperate woman in the city. Does the girl respond and call him back? Do they happily live ever after? To know that keep an eye on the star movies schedule for the movie called “On the Line”.

6. Alien Vs Predator – Well supposed to be a horror flick but dint find anything horrifying in the movie. Wouldn’t say worth a watch.

7. Garfield - Just too good. Hilarious stuff.

8. Nature Unleashed Earthquake - Some crap.

Apart from these 8 movies, watched lots of sports, at least 10 games of foot ball, 20 hrs of cricket, and one formula one race and had lots of food.

Also went to Nandi hills one of these days to enjoy the sunrise, a post on that later.

In the coming week I am going to post about my experience wid a friend before and after he got committed. So watch out for the next post.
