Chicago, Broadway Musical

After my first broadway musical - HTSIBWRT, I watched Chicago, the Broadway Musical (7/10) today, the 2.30 pm matinee show. Bought the tickets at TKTS, South Street Seaport (there is no sea or seaport there) for just around $70 each with no crowd or lines like at the one at Times Sq. I thought its like a crime drama but it was quite funny/comedy-ish & fun. Most of the female cast seemed lil older, especially Velma Kelly. And beginning was lil boring & end was not as exciting. But rest was really FUN, good music, nice choreography, decent laughs & FUN. (My rating would be 7/10)

Avengers & Am. Spiderman Hindi Trailers

I watched Hangover-2 (5/10) today. It's pretty much the same movie as last one, but set in Bangkok/Thailand this time, where Stu has to get married and his to-be brother-in-law is missing. Only innovative & extra/special thing is a drug-dealing monkey. They are releasing a third one, next year memorial day weekend... This week has been col, 30-50 F. So enjoy these HOT Hollywood movies trailers in hindi. The Avengers Trailer is kinda funny-ish, with the use of words sainik-bal & khudgarz/sanki & praani etc. Captain America sounds like Amir Khan though. Amazing Spiderman sounds & seems much better in Hindi, but surprised that they didn't show Irrfan Khan..

Jai Mata Di.. Agent Vinod & Hunger Games & Puss in Boots & Muppets

First, "Jai Mata Di" on the occasion of Vasanta Navaratri!! & yes, I watched all these movies over the weekend. Here's what I think:
  • Agent Vinod (6/10): Decent plot &nice performances with funny elements & lot of action &great background score. Action seems little outdated/old, too many villains & they die so easy.
  • Hunger Games (7/10): Hmm, its quite good but too long. It takes forever for the game to begin when you already know she is ging to win. But HOW? Also, not enough background story to understand. the WHY??
  • Puss in Boots (8/10): Just FUN-FUN-FUN, !!
  • Muppets (6/10): If you are not a muppets fan, its still kinda FUN!!

Happy St Patrick's Day!!

Watched the New York City St Patties Day parade. It starts from 50th & 5th av near St Patricks Cathedral &goes till 80th street near MET. It starts at 11 am & was supposed to end by 4-4.30 pm. I went at around 3 cuz I woke up late & felt lazy. I was late so I went straight to 80th street to watch it. Not very crowded & Igot a good spot. People marching, bagpipes playing, some dancing kinda & walking & all that. But would you believe, that the parade lasted past 6 pm? Yeah, really-really long. Anyways, I left around 6, took a walk through Central Park to Times Square. Met Cyrus, the goat guy there with his goat Cocoa. Yeah, a Goat @ Times Square. Went to a St Patties party at a club at night & then almost sleeping all day Sunday. That's it, that was my weekend!!

Congrats Sachin, on your 100th 100!!

Sachin finally did it.. AWESOME!! The best cricket player in whole world has finally done it. We all have been waiting for this moment, like forever. Creating so much pressure on him. Almost forgetting all the wonderful cricket he has played in past 22 years, the 99 centuries, the 33K+ runs. ANyways, he has finally did it & we are all very HAPPY. He deserved this & made this happen. I think its possible that he'll retire after this series? I think so.. Anyways, CONGRATULATIONS SACHIN!! (lets hope India also wins this match)

Don't work after 8pm, Gurgaon tells women... REALLY? WTF??

Seriously? That's what they are telling?? After numerous incidents of rape & molestation in past days, that's the solution they have come up with. And we live in a the biggest democracy of the world. WTF???? You gotta be not kidding me but REAL STUPID. Or should I use a more horrible word!! Just go &  find the culprits and hang them.. publicly. So others can get a lesson that what kind of punishment they'll get if there sick minds ever even imagine of any such crimes. Do your job right and stop playing a stupid dictator. Or none of these idiots should be even paid..... Sorry, my blog is read by families &minors maybe and I am just being very-very polite, but I am REALLY MAD. We all should be MAD and have to get this MADNESS fixed. or God Help Us!!!!

Chronicle (7/10) & Red Tails (5/10)

Chronicle is a fun movie about bunch of young high school boys gaining super power & dealing with it by not becoming super heroes but being stupid. Nice concept & good execution too. Performances were good by all the boys & emotions have been well played too (ppl cried). The movie does has you asking for lil more maybe, in terms of action & happening at few places but overall its a fun to watch movie. Use of many cameras is mart giving exposure to better camera angles than usual found footage movies.

Red Tails is a 58 million disaster. Its based on Tuskegee Airmen, the bunch of African American soldiers who fought in WWII. Its extremely corny, filled with cliches & bad performances too. Cuba Gooding Jr whatever happened to you man? You were such a nice actor!! He's just standing & smoking pipe through out the movie, looking extremely bored & un-interested. Anyways, the action sequences with planes are nice & the concept is wonderful &true. Only if the movie would've been made well...
