MIB3 review

MIB3...is one of those films from the by-gone era.:X.Im not sure if a sequel to mib-2 need have happened.Anyways happened to catch up with a paid premier of MIB3 at one of the swanky chennai Multiplexes.I'm not a great fan of the MIB franchise,who kicked me abt the film was Will Smith.Will Smith is sorta like the Rajinikanth of Hollywood.I mean both of them ooze style.But i guess Will Smith will never be able to generate the mass hysteria that Rajinikanth does.

Anyways back to the movie.The film like other films in the franchise revolves around agents K (Tommy Lee Jones) and J (Will Smith).The film begins with the prison break of an alien named Boris,who grabs hold of a time-machine to go back into the past to 1969,when he was captured by K.Cut back to the present where K and J are on his trail.But Boris's jump into the past changes the present.Agent J wakes up to find that apart from him everyone else seems to have forgotten about K,and what remains of him is a bust at headquarters, marking his death in the line of duty battling Boris in 1969.Now agent J needs to travel back in time,to change the presentHmm...il agree the film has got a solid plot,and is definitely not as lame as MIB2.

Now what works for the film is intriguing storyline and the performances of the lead stars.Will smith after a sabbatical is back,and strikes great form.He is amply supported by the casting of Josh Brolin as the young Agent K and  Emma Thompson(Agent O), whose  funny  at times.And the CG work in the film is a real bonus.MIB3 is one of those good sci-fi films,that ud recommend.But one of the few negatives i spotted in the movie were...its comic sequences don't work with the audiences on a few occasions.In few instances its lame.



+ves:Storyline,Will Smith,Josh Brolin

-ves:cheesy graphics,lame sequences that don't work at times


VERDICT: TIME PASS STUFF(3 1/2 *)

Decoding The Modi phenomenon

controversy's favorite child

So what if the U.S. denies him VISA?!so what if Hillary Clinton says that their foreign policy would not be amended even if he happens to take up the top job(err...i doubt them sticking to their stand though?!What if there is still a clout of suspicion around him post Godra?!
He is by far the most popular politician in the current scenario and the most controversial aswell.
Controversyand Popularity are strange bed-pals.

So has NARENDRA BHAI MODI(as he is fondly called) got it in him to take up the mantle and be the touch bearer for India's success story?!Yessss ...
say many.Going by the track record of Gujarat over the past years,it seems he certainly got it in him to become a PM..But just coz he can become the PM,should he become one?!Thats a question that will take a long time to answer.Many politician including the NDA's own Nitish kumar are a bit apprehensive about Modi.Their apprehension stems from the fact that by seeming to support Modi they might lose out on the vital Muslim vote.Petty politics i say.

A man from humble beginnings is now the Chief Minister of one of the largest states in the country.Many wrote him off when he first took oath.But since then he has come a long way.When many states are having a hard time,managing their economy Modi has lead by example.His has state of Gujarat has double digit GDP growth,which is great by any standards.And Gujarat has been attracting investment from outside in plenty.Case in point by being the TATA NANO plant deal,or the recent one with HONDA.And for thoe who say that communal harmony and law and order are a question mark as far as he is concerned,the stats beg to differ.GUJARAT HAS HAD THE FEWEST NUMBER OF COMMUNAL RIOTS POST 2001(wonder what Teesta would say to that).And what else differentiates him from the rest?!He is one of the very few politicians who isnt Media shy and has always stood in the forefront of embracing technology,with he being one of the most popular celebrities on Twitter.

SO should he take up the mantle?!Yesssssssssss ..would be the reply of most Indians.For those who say NO...they would do well to remind themselves that if not Modi,they would have to suffer from  the reigns of the "spoil brat" Rahul baba :P..The recent SIT's closure report if further testimony to the fact that he hasn't done any wrong,so should take up the top post.

Leaving you with a cult you-tube video of Modi

Another petrol hike??!WTF!

Another petrol price hike screams the media!!!Now...there goes the bike..that ive been wanting to ask..my mom...UFFFF...now...what the hell is the bike supposed to drive on?!sunflower oil(damn that too is costly).Ok...now..i guess another...union minister namely Jaipal Reddy has joined the "dodo-club"..He has illustrious company from the likes of P.Chidambaram(the BJP punching bag) and Kapil SIbal(MR.cant keep it shut)

With the country reeling under double digit inflation...everything has gone up...right from bijli,sadak ,pani and all the way upto sonakshi sinha's tummy :P...

 Now...i wonder how many seats "The Congress" is gonna get in 2014...quite a "hand"ful i guess...Ok..all said and done..im waiting for the blame to fall on poor MR.INTERNATIONAL OIL BARREL..he's the one whose been taking all the blame..

P.S.im writing this blog the day..before i was planning or rather planned..about to ask..my mom for a bike :( :( :( :(

JUST-IN:A hike of Rs 7.50!!!WTF..thats more than the seats that Congress is gonna get in 2014! :P :P

korbo lorbo jeetbo re

OK!The first play off is over and the knight riders have romped home!errr..im unsure of what smiley to use,so il use :) aswell as :(...A thrilling play-off where one Delhi-boy beat Delhi-boy..(ok..ive noticed Sehwag's hairdo and i guess he doesnt come under the boy category anymore :P :P) .This is great news for the Badshah of Bollywood "Shah Rukh Khan" as his side for the first time in the history of IPL are reaching the finals(err...this was their first-shot at the playoffs too)...KKR owe most of their success this season to the likes Gawtham Gambir (aka) skipperie and Sunil Naraine...But cometh the hour and cometh the man..."the billion dollar baby" Yusuf Pathan found the strike occasion to find form...and strike he did,scoring 40 runs off 21 balls..playing a crucial role in KKR's win..Delhi on the other hand were lackluster with the bat..and the awesome-twosome of Sehwag and Warner failed at the top..leaving the middle order exposed to KKR's potent bowling attack..thus paving the way for the empathic win of the Knights @Pune

IN OTHER NEWS:Didi aka Mamta Banarjee wasted no time in congratulating the Knights(hope she gets some brownie points for that..after her fiasco with sagarika "goose" :P)

Last heard the king of controversies(aka) spoilt brat (err..thats how Arnab Goswamu describes him) (aka) Shah Rukh Khan found himself in another controversy with some sections of the media claiming that he showed his shoes to the public at the Pune Stadium
