The Devil's Advocate

I like Keanu Reeves, so please don't kill me. ;) And This movie is one of the best movies done by him, they may be few but there are such movies.

This movie as the name suggests is about devils and demons but this is not a horror movie. I was disappointed since i thought it was going to be one. But it is a thriller movie which keeps you engrossed all the time and make you think about the end. And you are shocked as the movie reaches the climax.

I liked the story as well as how the movie has been directed. I would give this movie three and a half out of five. And suggest you all to go forward and watch this movie because this is not a scary movie just a regular thriller movie. ;)

Saat Khoon Maaf

This movie deals with too much of extreme opinions. Some say they liked it too much and some say that they didn't.

Saat khoon maaf is based on Susannah's seven husband by Ruskin Bond. The story is too good. Making you feel "how can this be possible?" , but stories are stories after all and you may never know what is possible in this world.
So, go ahead and watch this film. I enjoyed it a lot.

If you are a weak hearted person who cannot see too much of cruelty then this is not your kind of movie and i would suggest you not to watch it. You may say who makes such gruesome movies but then there is audience like us who like to watch such movies. I remember 'Zinda' had same criticism and it was not a hit movie but it was liked by all. The same goes for this movie.

Dhobhi Ghat By Aamir Khan

I have seen this movie a long time back. I wanted to share my views with everyone so i am writing the blog today.

When this movie was released everybody was soo excited since it was another Aamir movie. He has not dissappointed us in the past. He has done movies like "Three Idiots", "Sarfarosh" which makes him unbeatable but sadly dhobhi ghat did not come with such promises.

Dhobhi ghat is a movie about 4 people and how they are connected, how different things are important to them, how their life change during a course of time. But the director failed to communicate with the audience because the movie lacked in the story writing as well as acting. Only Aamir was able to convey his feelings without a single dialogue and noone else.

In short, movie had potential but it lacked in many areas and it had many loopholes which it was not able to explain and hence i will give it 2/5.

The Host by Stephenie Meyer

I have read lot of books and please don't think that this is my first one.. ;) :P I have seen the movies "the twilight saga" and was little bit skeptical about the book when i bought it because of its too sweet and multiple love story. You must be thinking, if i was skeptical, why i did i go for this book. Well, i knew that this book is going to be interesting and in front of my i had two and a half hours of journey in plane so i thought this will be a good time pass and hence i bought it.

But i was not able to read it in the plane because i fell asleep.hehe.. :P but since i had purchased this book i had to read it and hence started reading it. I wont reveal the story here but as you can make out from the name it is about aliens and had a love story almost like twilight. The book was pretty interesting and was a bit of a time pass. I had fun reading it and it was like some suspense novel which kept me engrossed. I like the way authors can think so out of the box. Many will be out there not liking this novel but i am amazed how can the author imagine so much and make such a wonderful and different story out of it. I am just another person who will read a book for entertainment and not for literature, so cant say about the language and grammar in which she wrote. I look at the content whether writing was able to connect to me or not. I was able to understand each and every line. So this book was good enough for me.

I am thinking of buying another book by Stephenie Meyer. :)
