DVD Play log

As the $1 DVD Rental deal continues to be irresistable after the regular grocery shopping, here's the list of movies we watched in the last few months :-


1) Love n Dancing : - As expected, tons of dancing, but the drama makes it quite balanced. The movie is about egos, ambitions, discovery of self.


2) Angels and Demons :- I definitely think the book was much better. I have not watched The Da Vinci Code, but this one was so dragging towards the end, terrible.


3) Perfect Stranger :- Some part of it is quite predictable, but the attempt here was a plot with a lot of twists and turns with a journalist going undercover to solve the mystery of her missing childhood friend.


4)Up :- A sweet story with some hilarious moments, that could lift up your spirits like the balloons lifting up this "Senior's" house!


5)Taking of Pelham 123:- A thrilling movie, made pretty well. As a Denzel Washington fan, this was definitely worth it and Travolta does well too. I wasn't aware this was a re-make of a 1970's movie.


6) The Proposal :- Maybe just like the poster, a little too predictable with a lack of charming leads, the movie could be a disappointment for many. Sometimes I think its high time Sandra Bullock add some variety to her kit!


I plan to rent IceAge 3 and Julie & Julia hopefully soon!

The Proposal is the only movie from this list of yours that I've seen. I actually liked it, but then, I like anything that Sandra Bullock does.:)

Sounds like you've discovered Redbox? We love it here too! Just watched Up in the Air and liked it very much. Probably because we could see some places we'd lived in before, like Omaha. :o)

Suddenly I feel there's time in my hands....the following thoughts cross my mind... - that model on the cover looks awesome, how is that so? - if they actually airbrush pictures , then how come there is a good looking category? - i want to see a brand new juice in the market,tired of the same old ones... - i feel like shopping often.its more a thought than action. - i like clothes that some other women wears...i want stuff like those! - how come there is traffic only when i want to drive? - water is good for me, very good....keep drinking..has anyone tried flavored water? - is flavored water as good for health? - how come some advertisements are soooo good? is it just one person or a team? - when everyone is busy how come i have time? - how is it that my phone rings only when i want to sleep or when i am occupied? - why do i get tanned so quickly? - how come technology is always surprising to me? - why didn't i get into sports or music when i was younger? - why is it that some ...

The 1969 reunion!

My dad is currently enjoying "retirement", he recently tells me that he is soon having a 1969 college reunion! While just hearing that got me excited, the stories of how he found his college mates after 42 years was even more interesting. To begin with, he bumped into one of them and that kick started the whole process. They chatted about what they have been upto so far in life and if they were in touch with others. From there on, one thing led to another, he tells me. He met up with a few who never left town and stayed on for all these years. Today, they have managed to arrange a gathering of 25 classmates, all this without the involvement of Internet at all! Dad tells me that a couple of never touched a computer! That just concludes that the Internet is overrated and its sad that even if we are equipped with more tools, no one has time for another. So meeting up is pretty much a big deal in today's world. So proud of the 1969 batch!

Interesting traffic discoveries...

Now that I am preparing myself to be equipped with a local licence, u can imagine me concentrating on the differnces in the road, compared to UAE.So here goes some interesting things i find on the roads here:- a) You may make right turns on red light on most roads here, after you check traffic for urself! b)The names of the street are parallel to the road, so look right or left not straight for directions! c) there are Sensors just behind the stop line at traffic lights, that allows the system to run accordingly--so cool! d) i didnt find a single cab or bus near my place! i think its cos my area is not city! :-( e)i like the center lane idea, that allows u to stay on it and wait until u take a left turn safely!
