Godzilla Review

So Hollywood tries their hand on Godzilla for second time. Will it be a hit this time unlike last time? Well unlike Ronald Emmerich helmed 1998 remake, which I haven’t seen so far, this is the best monster movie made in Hollywood since Jurassic Park. In some parts it is even better and more creative than Jurassic Park. Only thing lacking is the humour and memorable character like Dr. Ian Malcolm or Dr. Alan Grant from Jurassic Park. But enough with the comparison, let ‘s talk about the film on its own. This movie is non-stop entertaining that’s for sure. It is entertaining even when the scene does not involve monster fights and human drama. And main credit for this goes to Bryan Cranston(whom we said goodbye on TV last year as “Walter White” on incredible  finale of equally incredible “Breaking Bad”) and Ken Watanabe who steal every scene they are in as scientist due to their incredible acting    despite the fact they are in supporting role. As for the leading characters played by Aaron Taylor Johnson and Elisabeth Olsen as husband and wife, they are okay in their performance, but are not convincing enough to be a parent of 5 year old, since they themselves look like a teenager. However when they are not together, they do their job decent enough to hold their scenes tight.

 Enough about performance, let’s talk about the action scenes. The fight scenes are pretty awesome. They would be one of best fight scenes you would see this year. Some of the monster-vs-monster fight can give competition to last year‘s Pacific Rim. Unlike some monsters in a PG-13 film, here monsters are really scary not only because of their looks (kudos to creature design department) but because  the not so experienced director add enough build up, momentum ,unpredictability and thrill without any clichéd jump scares, to make the atmosphere scary.

The film is brilliant technically. And by technically I do not mean just the special effects but the cinematography and sound effect. But most impressive thing is art direction. Here everything is not grey or dark, which is the case in movie like these, but here each and everything looks beautiful, be it architecture of Japan or close up shots of insects(yes, insects!) which looks like they are from National Geographic Channel.

Road Trip Review

This 2000 comedy directed by Todd Philips, before he made comedy gold like “Old School” and “Hangover”, was made to grab cash from teenagers, in the wake of movies like “There’s something about Mary” and “American Pie”. And thus it has everything a young male adult would want to see in this type of comedy. Or may, I say, something a person would expect in a movie which is trying to be next “American Pie”, but set in college. It has got nudity, sex, sex tape, drinking, toilet humour, four friends and Stifler!!! Yes, the Stifmeister himself!!  And I am not saying this because the actor who played Stifler is here, but because he is basically the same character. Only difference is the name and that he has no Finch to humiliate or pick up on. So, is this movie next “American Pie”? Not at all. I desperately wanted to like this movie but I didn’t. They forgot that it was clever writing that made Pie and Mary awesome and not the nudity, foul language and bodily fluid itself.

First let’s talk about the main characters. I have already talked about the Stifler , so let’s move on to other characters. The characters are pretty much forgettable and have no personality, except Tom Green’s character but not for a good reason. He is there because the director thought “Well, people nowadays like funny scene which have shock value, so why not hire a guy with weird face named Tom Green since he already has a lot of fans on MTV”. But he is neither shocking nor funny; he is just creepy and illogical like a psycho killer in dark alley, which appears in your nightmare. Then there is a skinny guy named Kyle who is a no-risk-taker nerd. Anyone who has seen  a lot of comedies know that this type of character becomes brave by the end of the movie and we root for him when he stands  up against bullies, just so director can show that he cares about something called “character development”. But unlike Harold of Harold and Kumar Goes to White Castle or any nerd from Revenge of The Nerds, this guy has no personality and it is difficult to root for him. Then there is our lead character, Josh who like Kyle has no personality and it is difficult to care for him since he is so bland. The only character I liked was Rubin since he makes the nerds look cool and you come to care for him. Not even the Stifler like character was funny, since he was underused.

Unlike “American Pie”, which was feminist since it had a few male characters who respected women and had some well written female characters, this movie makes mistake of being misogynist. When you are making a sex comedy with heart, you can’t make it misogynist. This movie is misogynist because the characters of Stifler/ Sean William Scott and Tom Green treat women like sex object and are often not punished for it. It is misogynist because female characters are underwritten here. And this makes it less feel good.

And finally, the funny scenes. The only time I probably laughed was when car crashed. And maybe a few more scenes. But most of the time I didn’t laugh. There was a scene in which Kyle politely asks a waiter to change his food since it contains sugar and he did not take sugar in the mornings. The waiter not only gives the same food but also makes it dirty with his farts before Kyle thinks he is eating different food. This is supposed to be a “hair gel” moment but instead of being memorable and funny , it is just gross. It fails due to two reasons: - a) We can see the joke coming since it is so predictable, thus it loses its shock value and b) There was no logic why waiter behaved rudely. “Hair Gel” scene worked in real life, this could actually happen. And then there is Tom Green who is never funny even when he is eating rat or showing his butt. I am not saying I was bored by this movie, but this was something I could have avoided and may not see again in my life. Only thing worth seeing in this movie is nudity.

Top 5 TV characters you should not mess with

Even comedy shows have bad-ass.This is strictly about comedy show, so you won't have Jack Bauer or Walter white. Here is the list:


5.Charlie and Alan's mom from Two and a half man

Charlie and Alan showed the world they were scared of mom in taxicab confession. They were scared to confront their mom even when they grew up.Jake was paid to spend time with his grandmother.It is surely not a child play!

                                                                               

4.Monica Geller from Friends

Try making room untidy in front of her and you are dead! His brother was scared of him, his lover Chandler was scared of him, even his staffed was scared of him after he fired Joey(though it was fake!) Bossiest and toughest chick on show , she defeated Rose in wrestling and even had cut Chandler 's toe by accident!

                                         

3.Sheldon from Big Bang Theory

Though skinniest member of group , no one tries to mess with him, even doesn't try to sit on his seat, because of his irritating behavior. He is the 'boss' of group . For e.g. ; once their group has to decide whether they went to go by plane or train. Sheldon voted for train, while Raj, Howard and Lenard vote for plane, but still they went by train just because Sheldon voted for train! Don't forget the way he mocks his friends and "BAZINGA"

2.Frank Barone from Everybody Loves Raymond


What more to say?The ultimate macho man. He is the 'tough one' of his friends group and is still scared by his both sons. He was so scared by his children that when there mommy had to discipline Raymond and Robert, she just threatened  them by saying 'Wait till daddy gets home' Plus he is a Korean war veteran.
He hates to show his sensitive side to gain his tough image.



1.Red Forman from That 70s Show

No one messes with this dude! Both are strict dad, constantly showing their macho ism and are war veteran. But the show being set in 70s, he is more old schooled. He does not like to have friends unlike Frank Barone, constantly scolding his son and always taking side of Eric 's sister,hates Eric's friend and according to him man should not show their emotion, instead bottle them up unlike his best friend Bob. Plus, he is not skinny dude like Frank.Also he tries not to help even his best friend, Bob in many case.

Steve Jobs dies at 56

October 5 was one of the saddest day of my life.As the man behind iPod,iPhone and iPad, things which have become important part of our daily life, Steve Jobs is dead.Words can't describe sadness.

Every time I will look at my iPod,iPhone or watch any Pixar movie ,it will remind me of Steve Jobs.

Even owner of rival company of Pixar(Dreamworks), Steven Spielberg said : "Steve Jobs was the greatest inventor since Thomas Edison. He put the world at our fingertips."

And that 's not the end of story .

Even Obama said in his death : “Michelle and I are saddened to learn of the passing of Steve Jobs. Steve was among the greatest of American innovators – brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.

“By building one of the planet’s most successful companies from his garage, he exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity. By making computers personal and putting the internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive and fun. And by turning his talents to storytelling, he has brought joy to millions of children and grownups alike. Steve was fond of saying that he lived every day like it was his last. Because he did, he transformed our lives, redefined entire industries, and achieved one of the rarest feats in human history: he changed the way each of us sees the world.

“The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve’s success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented. Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to Steve’s wife Laurene, his family, and all those who loved him.”

He may have died but his vision stays with us.

I-Pod completes a decade!

No, not today, but this year, Apple 's 'flagship' product which revolutionized the mp3 player and the way we listen, named one and only the great 'Ipod' is gonna complete a decade on 10 November 2011.

This makes me feel old.It has been 5 years since I bought my first "I-pod' which was I-pod classic and black in color,and I have been using it since then.I wasn't really aware about I-pod till 2005, and was very excited when I got it next year. It was memorable moment.I remember I used to look at I-pod box at airport, showing images of I-Pod classic showing image of hit t.v.-show at that time 'Lost".I-Pod was seen as status symbol at that time.Now everyone has it.

Before I-Pod came, we used to have Walkman which looked like a heavy box, in which we could only listen songs which was inserted in Walkman.If you want to listen songs of different albums you were required to change the cassette.

When I-Pod came, everything changed. You could store more than thousand songs. It was easier to change and select songs of different albums.

After that companies like Sony and Panasonic came and made mp3 players like ipod, but couldn't match the original invention.It has been undisputed leader in mp3 player for 10 years.What a record!I once read a quote by Ronaldo in an Adidas, which was something like that : "It is not as difficult to be no.1 as to maintain that position" I don't remember the line correctly.But the point is I-Pod has maintained it's position since it first arrived.It deserves a round of applause. I-Pod lead to another revolutionary Apple 's invention called I-tunes store which introduced the concept of legal downloads of T.V. shows, movies and songs.It changed the way of entertainment.Long live I-Pod!Long live Steve Jobs!
