Vacation time :)….
May 18, 2006 5:56 pmSunday im off to my week long vacation of Darjeeling . There will be no posts during that time but I promise a truck load of pictures when im back
I will be visiting Ganagtok, Darjeeling and a few tourist spots along the way. Im really excited about viewing the “Sunrise over Mt. Kanchenganga” and visiting a Monstary in the mountains.
Last year I had been to Delhi, Shimla, Kulu-Manali and Agra. Those few days were truly amazing and I just know this is going to be as good… Last time I had no digital cam to go nuts taking pics but this time im armed .
PS: I need tips on managing the data. I will not be carrying the laptop so am considering burning the pics onto cds (I think 512mb card will not be enough 
).

They don’t make movies like this anymore.
If my review had to be summed up in one line its that one. This movie is truly brilliant… every thing from an immaculately strong script to powerful performances by the actors.
This movie is about 12 members of a jury… A jury in the final stages of a trail and the only thing remaining for them to do is give their verdict. The murder trail has a 18 year old boy charged with his father’s murder in cold blood. Every single piece of evidence shown in the court indicates that the boy is guilty but one of the jurors is not convinced everything is as clear as it is shown.
The movie is shot almost completely inside a jury room and the roles are well split between the chars without once compremising what they stand for. Henry Fonda is impeccable in portraying the dissenting juror and the rest of the ensemble make this one of the best allround acting movies i hv ever watched.
Poseidon - Review

Wolfgang Petersen’s remake of The Poseidon Adventure is decent at best. The movie’s special effects and ‘we can die any second’ thrill keeps the audience in their seats but that does not make this movie a classic.
The movie starts as we are quickly pushed(trust me) into the lives of few of the main chars. The story then quickly gets to the point ie a ship upside down. Now we watch as a group of people try to escape from the bottom of the ship climbing upwards!!! You think that should be amazingly fun but fankly its not…
The only nice thing on screen was Emmy Rossum, I mean she is unbelieveably pretty on screen and made the movie worthwile. Josh Lucas produces a mature performance compared to Stealth and leaving that there is nothing worth taking back from this movie. For god sake this guy made Troy and I expected so much from this one.
My advice, save your money… you can use it on some other movie that is worth it.
