Steve Jobs Passes Away

I have read many tributes to him and how he has changed the world with technology, with design and with story-telling. It is hard for me to digest that. I have never really cared about Apple products and though I think movies by Pixar are great, I didn't think that because they were made by Pixar or associated to Steve Jobs.

I don't think I have seen any other movie in a cinema four times. I did not intend to review this movie, just wanted to write what I feel about it. I often reflect on why the title has a negative in it. I would have much preferred the title to be positive like sunshine from the credits song and proclaim that I have reclaimed my life. I am always of hope that there will be a turn somewhere which would set me on living, not just getting through life.

Count Quickly! How many jokes have you heard on the infrastructure and the state of Bangalore city? How many of those jokes are about the "Garden City" now being called the "Garbage City" or the "Concrete Jungle"? How many times have you driven down that road where we suddenly notice just air where there once was a lush green tree? We all feel the pain of not finding a tree on the side of the road whose sight and shade we enjoyed for years.

Changes from the book – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

Before we start listing them out, I want to note that some of the changes actually make the story better and a more interesting watch on the screen. It is only some of the changes, especially those that are not even consistent with the previous movies that seem somewhat irritating.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2

It has all ended! Seven Harry Potter movies later, we have come to the last movie of the series. Seven books and eight movies is quite a story and it falls on the last movie to give a fitting end to the series. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2, shortest in terms of runtime as well as in the number of chapters it covers, provides a spectacular ending to the series that spanned a decade.

Green Lantern

As it turned out, this Green Lantern movie is more of a origins movie. It shows a human being selected for Green Lantern Corps and his "coming to terms" with it. There wasn't much of Green Lantern action at all. Even in the parts where there is action, it is mildly engaging and sparsely intense.

The turning-point was when Cinepolis and McDonald's opened up. It was now a crowded place, especially on weekends. Cinepolis did even better than I expected. They struck off the right balance of prices, timing and quality which served them well. According to their Facebook page, they served about 59,000 tickets in their first month.

A Quick Look at Hypercity

The store itself looks impressive. The top floor is just an average looking supermarket and it works quite well. The groceries section in the basement is nicely laid out. You have a freezer section for fresh meat and chicken. Just outside, you have ice creams and frozen snacks in deep freezers. This area also houses groceries, fruits and vegetables arranged in bazaar style.

They still have some things to work out and I hope that they work on them soon. Until then, it is still the best place for video/audio quality, theater ambiance and comfort. I can live with these shortcomings for now as long as the quality, comfort and customer service are maintained. It makes for a great movie watching experience near to home and I hope it stays this way.

The movie plays out like a mix of The Matrix, Inception, Harry Potter, Deja Vu and Groundhog Day.Related posts:
