A Walk to Remember

This movie is based on book by Nicholas Sparks by the same name..

i have not read the book, so i dont know how well it is adapted to the book or which is better book or movie..

As far as the movie goes, its a cute and sweet love story which wil surely make u smile :)

The plot is not that uncommon or unpredictable...but the presentation is beautiful...the way the love story of the lead pair develops is lovely....i just loved it :)

well about the plot : as i said its not very uncommon...cool dude rebellious guy landon carter(shane west) falls is some trouble while playing a practical joke on a classmate....in order that he mends his ways the principle makes him do activities like mentoring students, taking part in play etc etc..things he would not have done ever on his own...but all these activities put him in company of jamie sullivan (many moore), plain jane, simple, sweet girl but with a head of her own and who doesnt care what others think of her...

as they spend time together, they develop good friendship and inpite of initial embarrasement landon has abt acknowledging his friendship with jamie, they become good friends after landon takes jamie's side after a practical joke played on her by his other cool friends...

the way their relationship develops is to be seen...i wont be writing about it and about the end on the blog...

well if u see this movie, u ll guess the end quite soon (at least i did!) but stick on....its worth it..

direction by jim bosgraaf is good...the flow of story is nice, u dont feel bored or find lack of pace...

the lead pair is good.....landon -jamie moments r very very cute....they ll surely make u smile....they have good chemistry, shane west makes a very likable rebellious guy and mandy moore is very sweeet

a nice way to spend an evening if watching a movie is what u wanna do....u ll be smiling at the end of the movie :) :)

my fav scene :

THE LITTLE PRINCESS (1939)

I so love this book Frances Hodgson Burnett by that wen i saw the movie on youtube movies i jus had to see it!!!!!!! i owe big time to rehana for giving me this book to read.....the movie i saw was made in 1939 starring shirley temple as the little princess..

directed by Walter Lang..

The movie is about this little girl sarah crewe (shirley temple) who is put up at a boarding school by her father Captain crewe when he has to go to south africa to fight in a war.

the story is about how sweet the little girl is and does not leave her hope, strength,and dignity even under the worst circumstances....she sure is mischeivous, naughty and imaginative...i love the character of sarah crewe.....but what is the highlight of the movie is the HOPE in the little girl.....and the fact that she never complains about anything, tries to be happy in adverse cirsumstance..she is jus too sweet!!!!!!!!

sure its a predictable story!!!!! but it is so well presented...and so well described in the book and well enacted in the movie.....that touches our heart and the predictablity of the movie just does not make a difference....

the hope in the child makes us hope too for a better tomorrow no matter what goes thru today...watch this movie anytime (m yet to see the 1917,1986 and 1995 version)...and u ll be smiling at the end of 90 min!!!!!

Serendipity

serendity means windfall or accidental good luck...
In this movie Sara thomas (kate beckinsale) is a hard core believer of fate and destiny...when she meets Jonathan Trager (john cusack) while shopping for a christmas gift and ends up spending an evening with him (inspite of the fact that both of them are in relationship with other people), she decides to let fate decide if their mutual attraction would turn into something more or not.

so she asks him to write his phone no on a 5 $ bill and writes hers on a used copy of book LOVE IN TIME OF CHOLERA.She tells him if they are meant to be together either one of them at least will come across other persons phone no.

5 yrs later they both are set to marry different people, but they both cant forget that one evening spent on streets on Manhattan....so they both decide to look out for each other once again...
whats follows is a hilarious series of events and coincidences where they just miss each other or where something abstract leads one to another, and ultimately.................no prizes for guessing the end :)

its a typical hindi movie types....very predictable....good acting though by john cuzack and kate beckinsale...even though u know whats gonna happen you root out for both of them :)

story flows well...and u look forward to how the two lead characters are gonna meet up :)
its a cute and sweet romantic movie which is fun to watch....

99

this movie is a story of two petty thieves sachin (kunal khemu) and zarra mud (cyrus broacha)...sachin wants to do something big once and for all, so that he can stop stealing and open a nice coffee shop....

their run ins with fate...how they are forced to work for a bookie cum hooligan AGM (mahesh manjrekar)....

the story turns funny when sachin and zarra mud are asked by AGM to retrive money from rahul (boman irani) who has lost 20 lakhs in match betting...

during the first 45 min u might wonder what exactly is goin on....and where is the movie leading...but after that everything starts falling into place..
also seen in movie are : pooja (soha ali khan), vinod khanna.

good points:
good acting by entire cast.....nice comedy....funny dialogues...
the story is set in the yr 1999-2000.....so the movie takes us back a decade in a nice way....small details r taken care of like....really old model mobile handsets...posters of movies released in 1999......

a very enjoyable movie....you ll get your money's worth..
