Sex And The City - 2

Yesterday I went for SATC-2 with my girlfriend, and I have to say despite the reviews I had been reading it was nothing but entertainment. There was drama, there was fun and above all there was fashion ! It was just like 4 episodes of our beloved SATC series one after the other.

I loved Miranda's wardrobe !! Her dresses are not as ostentatious (or weird) as Carrie's, or as revealing as Samantha's or as conservative as Charlotte's. Its somewhere in the middle of all of these. Though it was a bit strange to see her all dressed up and accessorized all the time. I don't remember if that's how it was in first SATC movie.

Big was HOT as ever, and so was the Aidan for whatever time he was on the screen. The desert scenes were beautiful, and even though I have been to Egypt, I regret not going into the middle of the desert and enjoying what its like. May be I will have to experience this in good old Rajasthan :).

May be it had to do with the fact that my expectations were lower after reading all the reviews, but its a great excuse for girls night out and it is a must see for all the Sex & The City fans out there.

Bollywood coming to Hollywood ?

Recently I watched this new movie that is quite talked about "500 Days of Summer". The movie was good.. though I hated the lead female character and hardly felt sorry for the lead male character. Not sure if that is what was intended. Anyways I am not gonna give away anything here as its worth watching it.

Now you are wondering what has this to do with Bollywood ? For the first time a Hollywood movie that is not a musical had a song in this movie total bollywood style. The hero falls in love and then there is a song with him dancing and then a bunch of folks dancing with him... its awesome !! If I say more I am going to ruin it for you.

And then there is this new series that I want to watch "Bollywood Hero", but here is the twist.. its an American series starring actresses like Neha Dhupia and hollywood actors well more like comedians - Chris Kattan...

Bollywood is indeed coming to Hollywood !! :)

Man push cart

I am a movie lover.. which means I am not afraid to experiment, even when sometimes I feel like hitting my head against a wall.. at that time i resolve not to ever watch a random movie again but like new year resolutions I break this resolution every time.

It's partly Paul's (my husband's) fault. I let him get these movies that he thinks are good as at some film festival they were raved about. One such movie we watched today is called "Man Push Cart". Does anyone remember those really slow boring artsy movies that used to have actors like Shabana Azmi and Nassurudin Shah ? Yeah this one beats those.

This is a movie about a Pakistani guy who used to be this rockstar in Pakistan and left all his dreams for the love of his life.. came to US and started out as a bagel stand in NYC... They never explain this drastic transition... I mean he could have either got the love of his life to live with him in Pakistan or he could have used his talent in US.. or atleast tried.. Now the story starts with how his wife is now dead and he is still selling bagels trying to save money so that his kid can live with him... It never brings tears to my eyes... it was downright boring... even when the kitten died.

Had some good acting... but not worth it for 2 hours of pulling my hair out. Time to watch some good old "Friends" to make my mood better.
