Star Trek Into Darkness
And once I watched the movie, I found out I was right. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though there was a small part of me that wanted to see the epicness. The action and pacing was great. Kirk and Spock were excellently portrayed, as expected. But the movie was still somewhat of a mess. It…
Caffe Pascucci – Not worth the wait
All in all, it was not the best experience I have had in a cafe. Cafe Coffee Day, though probably not the same in quality and nowhere near as pretentious, feels more like a hangout place than this. Still, would be open to another chance.
The Mairaj Restaurant – A tale of woeful service
Some times you pay for food, at other times – service. Most of the time, you expect a decent combination of both. That is the expectation I had when I walked in The Mairaj Restaurant, in Tilaknagar area in Bangalore.
Donuts at Krispy Kreme
That was until I received an invite to a blogger’s meet at Krispy Kreme one evening. Honestly, I was looking forward more to the meetup than the donuts. I read the reviews and I knew that the donuts had to taste better than what you get at those small bakeries, but I was not that…
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Personally, I don’t see this movie as an epic adventure at all. It is just a small story that started it all, and for that, the movie is quite well made and entertaining.
Barbeque Nation
The starters, though the same menu, have undergone a massive improvement in taste. In fact, there are now options in the kind of marinate or sauce you want on the chicken starters. The Masaladar Tangdi and Mutton Sheek were also better than before.
Barfi!
Set in the beautiful landscapes of Darjeeling and busy, active streets of Kolkata, the story contrasts the lives of Barfi and Jhilmil against Shruti’s life. The imagery helps convey the depth of the characters themselves and lends a picturesque backdrop to the story.
Zindagi Milgayi Dobara
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…
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…
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.
