Disappointed

After 2 weeks of just opening my blog, staring at it and trying to write at least one line, I realized enough's enough. I'm writing my blog for myself. oh, I can hear all the contrary opinions real loud here. But I'm not going to pay attention. My posts remind people of English homework?? Lets say I'm a student still in school days. My posts don't have the great subjects? Oh please, don't give me that. I write what I feel like writing. I'm not a journalist/columnist who should write about a particular subject in a deadline. No thank you, I prefer to be a free spirit. All I do is complaining on my blog?? Ok, I feel like complaining all the time. What's the big deal. People complain all the time. I can't write how sunny and happy I am when all I want to do is complain. Alright, after my customary complaints on self, lets move on to complaints on .................... movies I watched recently with some (a lot of )boring gushing thrown in.

The much awaited film of the year "Raavan" . I went totally crazy from the time I first got to hear the songs of this movie and declared this film's gonna be a blockbuster. Inspite of the bad reviews, I reasoned I would love the film anyway because of my favorite actors(stars). But to nobody's surprise, my fave actors couldn't hold the interest after the 1st few scenes. I love Aishwarya rai and Abhishek bachchan but they couldn't do absolutely anything to the film. ok, i loooooooved ragini's (aishwarya) character in the film. But what happened to the two male leads?? Mani Ratnam is an amazing directorand genius. He just couldn't bring to life convincingly the fantasy which he created in his brain. To be really honest, the movie doesn't have a justification for anything that's happening in it. The movie starts with Beera (abhishek) shown as this bad bad guy but never once in the film did I ever feel a blip of fear for this apparently crazy guy. So there's no substantial Raavan. The SP Dev Pratap (vikram) is shown as a bad guy towards the end. Right from the 1st frame he hunts for Beera and I don't know why. And sadly, the police force is shown in a really really bad light. Portraying them as people who exploit the tribals... really!! It's just war. The whole film is just a war for absolutely no reason. The charcter Beera who's apparently bad (black) changes to gray to complete white towards the climax. And Dev Pratap who is the good guy (gray) is made to look really really black who uses his sweet wife to track Beera down and kill him.  The saving grace is the wonderful locations and the camera work. It was beautiful. And the people who make this film worth watching are Ravi kissen and Govinda for their brilliant portrayal of Beera's brother and the forest guard respectively. Priyamani got completely wasted. Too bad I'm so disappointed with this film. I decided I'm gonna watch the telugu version soon to compare.

I always wanted to watch the X-Men series. Maybe I was having really high expectations, I was disappointed again. But the movies are pretty much good. I thought wolverine was a much powerful and thoughtful sort of guy but he's not. so the disappointment. People sacrificing and dying just for the sake of twists and turns is becoming sooooo boring and repulsive to me these days. 

Till I find another thing to complain about,
