Reviews update 2 - Summer Movies 2011

Continuing from my previous two posts: Summer movies, Review pt. 1. 

Bridesmaids (***) - A perfect chick flick, entertaining, some brilliant acting, funny yet not very gross... a lot of the jokes are subtle but good. .. u have the comedy, the sentiments, the drama, the romance all mixed together in a perfect balance to keep u entertained the entire time ... a good watch if u r looking for something to do with ur girlfriends !

Cars 2(**** 1/2) - If u loved Cars 1, then this movie is even better .. A good sequel to the previous one, in terms of the characters but then again this movie can be a standalone  ...I felt very 'animated' and excited to watch this movie ... The details that went into the creation of this movie are very good. ... I would say this is a wholesome entertainer for both adults and kids (animation fan or not).... the plot is well written and so are the dialogues .. u wud thoroughly enjoy it.. a MUST watch!

Transformers: Dark of the Moon (***) - I am very big fan of this series and this was a definite watch for me...I liked this part for various reasons such as more graphics, more visual effects, more transformers, more cool cars, funny punch lines ... But on the other hand, I think it was a lil too long, the new female who looked hotten than Megan Fox didn't add any value, not much great acting by any character, a lot of continuous dialogue (which wasnt clear, may b due to theatre sound). This is one of those movie I need to watch a couple of times with subtitles to understand the dialogues and comedy. It is OK as an sequel, needs to be watched atleast once in the theaters for its visual effects.

Bundle of joy !!

If you ever wond1ered how the above phrase was coined, I have the perfect answer for you ...

One late night in Aug'10 was a night of excitement, tiredness, long wait (and totally worth it), pain (for some), fear ( for all of us) - big mixed bag of emotions which I cannot comprehend fully... A friend of mine from work gave birth to a beautiful baby boy... The first time I laid my eyes on him, he was completely wrapped up in this white with blue border stripes cloth (for lack of better word) with only his face being visible.. .It was such a joy to see him that trying to wriggle, fluttering his open and close, sticking his tongue in and out... and the phrase 'bundle of joy' came into my mind.

I watched him being taken right from the delivery room to the baby room ...His mother made me promise that I would stay and watch  (and not take my eyes of him) while he undergoes his first check up . I watched him for couple of hours as he was poked and checked by the nurse to make sure his vitals are doing fine.. to make sure he looks and feels fine ... After that he was laid in his crib, close to the window so I could watch him ... He kept doing these actions, so oblivious to the entire world, so innocent that it made me cry (tears of happiness, of course) ... Finally the parents were united wit the baby and it was a very happy ending :)

It was my first experience with a newly born . .and it was AMAZING!
