Good Weekend - Journal Square/Harry Potter 8 & Super 8

The week didn't start as nicely with the news of Hand Surgery. This weekend was supposed to be celebration weekend for my 1 year completion in NYC. It was celebrated by me finding a new place in Journal Square, Jersey city to move out of NYC. Ironic.. huh?? I think it's fine. I have kinda finalized on this place which very close to PATH Station, 5-10 min walk south/south-west of it. Let's try Jersey & see how it works out.

Then went for Harry Potter 8 last night, quite an ordeal. We had thankfully tickets in advance & went an hour early but still were way back in line & had to sit on side row. It's because we watched it in IMAX 3D which is $19, so expensive. Sometimes it seems like this whole IMAX & specially 3D is just a scam to mint more money from people. And AMC gave such cheapo glassed which sucked & I was very unhappy. The movie is alright, 6/10. I expected better. I think it's the worst movie in the series. Specially the second half which is so ungrand & unconvincing. They are trying to be funny & cheesy & it just didn't seem to work. Expect poor Snape who did make few 'people' cry. The ordinary & silly way Voldemort died was pathetic. Not the finale I expected.... But still, it's kinda funny to see Harry & friends grow old like this. It's like our kid who were small & young in front of us & now grown up. Goodbye Harry Potter & friends...... I also saw Super 8. You have to see 2 movies to recover the expensive cost of movies I guess. It's a nice (8/10) sci-fi/horror movie, right between E.T.  & Cloverfield. Also watched Tees Maar Khan (4/10) on Netflix and Incredible Hulk (7/10) & Pirates of Carribean 3 (7/10) on T.V.

So... who do you think will be next Harry Potter? Any opinions/suggestion about Journal Square & Jersey City?? I have the hand surgery coming this week, let's see what do I have to report. Until then.... Thanks, Goodbye & Good Luck!!

First work day of the year... NETFLIX is awesome

Well.. for me.. when I went to work first time for this year..... yesterday I was WFH.. recovering from sickness. Well.. most of you don't know (because I don't tell) that I was sick all last week, with cold & stuff. And going out on New Year's eve for the Ball Drop in Times Square didn't help (need to write more about it for sure, will do soon). So, I spent my weekend in bed being sick. But I did go to Patel Brothers store in Jackson Heights, Queens and bought LOT of frozen & ready to Eat Indian food... I have been eating out since I moved to NYC & need to change the habit to save money & health too... Might not be best option to eat this food.. but whatever.. who cooks in New York (mexicans, chinese, bangladeshis etc.. i meant the cooks at all those cheap food places).. well not me!!

I also watched Cloverfield on Blu ray... I got NETFLIX, its AWESOME... BTW, I also got a PS3 last week.. from Craigslist.. yeah.... Can you believe it.. the role Craigslist is playing in my/our lives. One of most used sites including Google & Wikipedia... but most direct impact.. umm.. should write a separate post about this.. yeah... So I got a PS3 from CL & Used it to Watch Cloverfield.. I liked Blu-Ray & liked the movie too... the hand-held motion style makes it very involving.. like you are there & watching a areal thing.. very nice special affects work & very good performance (by the Monster.. he was trying to hide very well.. very camera shy)... if you've missed it: make a point to watch the end scene where something falls from the sky when they show the old scene in video. I'll give it 7/10. Taht's it.. will try to write again soon.. Thanks & Happy New Year 2011 (believe me, I wrote HNY 2010 most of the places/messages.. cant believe its 2011)!!!!
