HP & the OOTP - Movie review



I'd always say that the book Order of the Phoenix is of a wondrous kind.
Everytime I read the final 4 or 5 chapters, I feel the surge of excitement.
Probably the best  one, a fantasy reader can ever get.

And now talking about the movie... I was just taken aback by the teaser trailor and was wondering
when it would hit the theatres..yet I knew the movie's release date.As every fan I too had a strong anticipation for the release.The day came..I made my way to the theatre nearby with my cousin who was another follower of the saga. We got into expecting for a class movie and it proved as it was so close to the mood of the book. Scenes were skipped, naturally in the way of covering all the matter.

I should defanitely quote about the stupendous performance of Helena Bonham Carter[Bellatrix Lestrange]...she portrayed a death eater very well.And about the settings they were
mind-blowing... they gave visualizations to my imaginations especially the Fountain of Magical Brethren...

I'd fail if I didn't mention Oliver & James Phelps for their animated fun scenes.
They were awesome. And Umbridge, she was less exaggerated in the movie...she was kind of
okay. David Yates has certainly rendered light on almost many of the chapters from the novel.
He showed how Harry thrives amidst encircling blues....

T'was quite neither  a great movie nor an usual one but somewhere in the middle.
Can't wait for the next one...

Quote Wonderment (I)

I'm totally sick of examinations and stuff. World's worst stressors are exams. I've always had this opinion right from my childhood. Hmmm... So to get a break I was running through my old memories and thoughts. One such is the admiration for this quote, "Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are." --Markus Zusak The quote itself is amazing. Reminds me of so many things. And note that Markus Zusak's wonderful book called 'The Book Thief' which was a good read. Laziness blocks me from writing more. ;)

Have you also ever wondered?

Have you also ever wondered?????.... What will happen if you pray God sincerely for something and another person prays Him sincerely for the opposite? How do the ice-creams jump by themselves and fall graciously in all the Amul ads? Why on earth does Vijay act in the same storyline even when he knows that he's the punchbag for the current youth? Why do the girls want to be of Zero-Size even though it looks the ugliest and physically so repulsive? How the hell we complete books of 700 pages in a single night before the exam, while we can't do that during the whole year?(be that a novel)   That during the examination days when you sleep you get early morning dreams in which too you'll be reading, so that you think that you're revising and all the same continuing to sleep until 8 and wake up to find a lump in your throat...[This terrible thing happens everytime with me ;)] P.S - The list may have a few additions in the near future.

2 States - Oh please, no!

I don't know why I chose to read '2 States' over 'The Subtle Knife'. My copy of 'Subtle Knife' is sleeping in the shelf. I wish I had finished it off instead of reading this one. M' Okay let me tell why this book was so insipid, [beware of spoilers hehe!] Possible reasons why I picked up this book: 1. Thought it would be a light-read. 2. It involved IIM A 3. Curiosity to know the speciality of Tamil girls 4. Heard it is a slapstick comedy [ which is not, in any way] Top reasons why I disliked it: 1. Cliched plot with stale scenes. [Ithellam nanga 'Poovellam Kettupar' la ye pathutomm, Chetan!!] 2. Making fun of South-Indians went overboard. [where Punjabis were never hurt in any dialogues, a very feeble mocking was clear] 3. Nothing less than a Bollywood drama, too filmy! 4. Totally predictable. 5. Ananya herself [there're are a multitude of reasons to hate her, which I won't enumerate here] 6. The feeling of reading his p...
