The Twilight Saga: Eclipse


Being the third in its series , Eclipse wasnt as impressive as the first one. Although New moon was a complete disappointment , Eclipse has slightly risen the bar for the Twilight saga again.
Impressivel the plot doesnt get lost in the course of all the 3 movies. Categorically each of the series deals with the same idea , Bella getting into trouble , however its almost predictable in a way with the first one focusing on the vampires , New moon with wolves and eclipse with both the boys.
The new borns was an interesting twist , all in all , the action lasted only 5 minutes. So much for the hype about the undying powers.

Bella has lost her innocence through the course.
Edward almost gets boring.
Jacob steals the show this time around.
Strangely I still dont get what the hell Dakota Fanning does or did in these movies.

You'd almost believe and reason that the Werewolves are a better clan than the vampires. Far less canniving and extremely protective.

My personal fav quote: "I'm going to fight until your heart stops beating" - An Awww moment for all the chick flick lovers and the die hard romantics.

Up In the Air!


Anybody who ever built an empire, or changed the world, sat where you are now. And it's *because* they sat there that they were able to do it. ...and you'll love Ryan Bingham for this.
Up In the Air is a fantastic movie in a long time. Sometimes its a surprise to watch movies with themes you'd least expect.

George Clooney has the natural charisma to make you listen to any crap he would say. Yet one cant help feeling sorry for this guy.

I could relate myself partly to Natalie Keener , the girl with lot of stars in her eyes , yet who'd fall flat on her face when faced with difficult situations. Crying over heart breaks and still put up a cold face to fire someone , shows the irony and the conflicts within her mind always.

And for all of us who ever thought during the ambitious roller coaster rides of our careers that we'd be happy married to our careers , here's a thought - "If you think about it, your favorite memories, the most important moments in your life... were you alone? Life's better with company "

Great movie in a long time!
