As we experience more days in our lives, we must strive to change into someone better and wiser. This does not necessarily mean an alteration of a grand scale, for we know that it’s impossible to transform into a totally different person. But a small effort to adjust is sometimes all we need to open our eyes to what possibilities lies ahead and this will guide us to another minute change and another; until we find ourselves yearning for something far greater than what the tangible world has to offer, for the need to evolve is more spiritual than anything else.
Likewise, we live in a world were appearance and health is considered vital for most. A challenge to know how to take care and groom oneself in the most natural way should be given time and consideration. For even though we might be spiritually luminous, combining it with our physical and mental aspects will work hand in hand in our endeavor for a ‘me’ that is uplifting and fulfilling, both to ourselves and to others.

Even though this movie was not on my Top Must-See list; and I can even wait for the DVD to come out, I went to watch it on it’s first few days of screening anyway simply because there was nothing else that was showing except for Transformers, w/c I have already watched and unlike the initial one have no desire to repeat. Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaur was a fun way to pass the time on a slow and flu ridden weekend. And even though the cinema was packed with at least 80% kids under the age of 10…I have to say this movie brought out the child in me. And I do want to see it again with all my nephews and nieces, especially my too-cute 4 year old niece and feel their first hand excitement this coming weekend.

Okay…so what’s all the hype? This movie should really score a blockbuster because there are NO OTHER MOVIES worth watching the past few weeks…or make that months. Unless you consider all the horror, thriller, suspense films your cup of tea which has been premiering almost every week even if it’s not Halloween!!! Moviegoers are quenching for something exciting and fun…and this has to be ‘IT’. My observation from the first Transformer move was the fight/action scene was too short…I guess I was not the only one who had that same thought as true enough, Transformers sequel has more action and fight scenes that you can ever imagine…if not, too much and too long, it made me feel sleepy on one of the scenes (or maybe because I just have a bad flu ~ hopefully not ’swine’). All in all it’s was a well done film with great sound and visual effects to stimulate all senses and keep you glued to your seat for at least 2.5 hours.
P.S. I do have to mention that the ending made me feel like I was watching a Voltes V (70’s Japanese Robot Carton series) scene in which Shia and Optimus Prime were standing on a Naval ship platform looking out into the vast horizon…

Not better than the first one, but also not a bad sequel. Good light-hearted typical Ben Stiller comedy. A nice family movie if you have an afternoon to spare and just want to relax inside a movie theater.

I don’t know if it was because I haven’t seen a movie in more than a month ~ unless you count the movie(s) I watched on the airplane some weeks ago…The Duchess which starts Keira Knightly and Afterwards that starred John Malkovich. Terminator Salvation surprisingly rates a mere 2 Star on my list. The reasons are as follows: Most of the CGI in this movie obviously looked CGI-ish. The story was a little confusing…and makes you wonder if you should have watched the previous Terminator films beforehand to understand the story-line. Lastly, Christian Bale was great as usual but for some reason there’s something missing…

Hearing that this movie has already been circulating before it was even shown, didn’t stop me from making sure I watched it the first day it premiers on cinema. Truly the only way to appreciate this film was to view it on the Big Screen. It’s action packed and entertaining from start to finish. Hugh was outstanding and everything you expect Wolverine to be. LOVED IT!!! Do support this movie by watching it on the Silver Screen and as always, I am looking forward to seeing it again in a few days. 5 STARS!!!

This movie is truly worthy to win the Oscar for Best Film. It is totally unique and exceptional. Everything from a Mumbai boy growing up in the slums and surviving a tough childhood, to becoming a contestant and how he came to know the answers to the questions then winning to become a millionaire is brilliantly woven into this remarkably original film. A must see. Don’t miss it!!!
