F.R.I.E.N.D.S


Who hasn't heard of 'F.R.I.E.N.D.S' ?
A comedy show revolving around the lives of six friends in Manhattan.
Being one of the most popular tv shows, it has been seen by almost everyone at some point of time in their lives- even if they have seen just a few episodes, and not the complete 10 seasons. It's just too good. The characters are lovable, and the storyline well-written. Need one say more about this one.. ;)

My rating: 5/5


P.S.: I'd like to share 2 of my favourite parts of the show with all fellow F.R.I.E.N.D.S fans...
1) where ross plays his 'THE Sound'... lol. that's so funny!
2) where phoebe tries to teach joey how to speak french :P






Just Like Heaven [2005]


Director: Mark Waters

This one is a romantic comedy.
Elizabeth (Reese Witherspoon) is a workaholic doctor. Due to a tragic accident, Elizabeth's spirit gets caught up between heaven and earth. David (Mark Ruffalo), a lonely landscape architect, moves into the apartment where Elizabeth used to live and finds the place haunted by her spirit. As Elizabeth doesn't remember anything about her past life, David agrees to help her find out who she is. Eventually, they fall in love. But, there's still the problem of Elizabeth not really being alive..
One or two times, the story tends to be a bit overdramatic. But overall, it makes for a good watch. A good way to spend a rainy day.

My Rating: 3.5/5

Step Up [2006]




Saw this one last night..

This movie is a nice and sweet mixture of dance and romance. I'd already seen Step up 2 before i watched this one, and i feel the sequel has more energy. But, the story is good, and the dance routines well-choreographed. So, I'd say this movie is worth a watch . Tyler (Channing Tatum) is a trouble-maker and a streetdancer. When he lands up in trouble with the law for breaking up the theatre stage of the Maryland School of Arts, he is sent to do community-service for the school. Nora (Jenna Dewan) is a ballet dancer studying at MSA and is in her final year. Her future career completely depends on the showcase due in a few weeks. But, as luck would have it, her partner in the showcase dance gets an ankle sprain. After many unsuccessful attempts in finding herself a dance partner, she agrees to let Tyler help her by dancing with her. As time passes, Tyler also starts to realise that the dance could be his only opportunity to a brighter future.
Overall a good entertainment movie.

My rating: 3.5/5

The Lord of the Rings


Let my first post be in the honour of my all-time favourite movie.

Le seigneur des Anneaux.. :)

I loved this trilogy! The first time i watched this movie, I was awestruck, and marvelled the craftsmanship of the special effects crew. And being someone who really admires movies with great special effects, i found this one to be a visual delight.
But, I had not yet read the book, and realised the full beauty of this masterpiece only after I had read the book.
Peter Jackson's depiction of Tolkien's world is a wonderful piece of imagination. Since then, i have watched the movie quite a lot of times, and i really love it. According to me, it is the one and only movie that has actually lived upto the standards of the book it is based on. Although i had a bit of a difficulty matching my image of Arwen and Eowyn with the ones on-screen, i loved the star-cast. Viggo Mortenson is very convincing as Aragon, and Orlando Bloom is sweet.
And the music is awesome! i really love the soundtracks 'Into the west', 'May it be', and 'Breaking of the Fellowship-There and back again'. And when i got to know A.R. Rahman had been a part of this orchestra, it was an ecstatic moment for me. I love his music.. :)

My Rating: 5/5

Salut! Enjoy Life!
