The PM's Lost It
Monday, May 28, 2007 | 6 Comments
I read recently in the newspapers that the Honourable Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh has appealed to the various MNCs in India to reduce salaries for their employees to bridge wealth in-equity in our country.

This comes as a shock as the PM, once, was the finance minister of the nation. With due respect, this is one of his most nonsensical statements. This one must have come as a result of extreme pressure from the left parties. Increasing wealth is one thing and this is totally another thing. How can one develop the nation while he is trying to push once class of the country backwards. He is forgetting that most of the income tax comes from the same set of people whom he feels should be paid less.

The amount of work that these guys with fat pay -checks do is nothing compared to what anybody in the PM's office is doing. So, one can never justify this.

Spiderman 3 - Movie Review
Tuesday, May 8, 2007 | 3 Comments
Hollywood makes so many movies every year that it is hard to keep track of them.

"The skies are painted with unnumbered sparks;
They are all fire, and every one doth shine;
But there’s but one in all doth" impress.

The Spiderman series have shown the world again and again that a superhero movie has more to it than action and cool visual effects. Director Sam Raimi scores full points. He makes a movie that beats zillion other movies and also matches upto the excellence and he brilliance of the other two movies in the trilogy. Also, there are rumours making rounds that Toby Maguire and Sam Raimi will not be involved in the next movies. Surely, they have given us something worth remembering.

Guys, only if you have seen this movie, continue reading. For the rest, I suggest you log off and book you tickets for the most fantabulous movie ever. I am not going to talk much about the storyline. It is just going to be my opinion about the movie.

The movie starts of on a good note. Spiderman is loved by everyone. Mary-Jane Watson loves Peter Parker. But then things take a bad turn. Peter has to deal with several problems. He has a major tiff with his best friend, Harry Osborn(James Franko) resulting in the latter getting hurt and losing his memory temparorily. Each scene from this point on is handled with utmost sensitivity. Harry forgets that he has to avenge his father's death. Franko starts looking cute again. Mary-Jane and Peter have several problems. Jealousy creeps into their relationship thanks to Gwen Stacy, Peter's lab partner. Peter then has a problem as a symbionte takes control of him.

Each and every frame of the movie has a touch of genius in it. Sam Raimi, who has given the screenplay, does an amazing job of directing this movie. He shows that even Superheroes are normal people with problems. He shows that even superheroes can cry.

Through the course of the film, I forgot I was over 16 years old and got quite disturbed watching certain scenes in the movie. Well, thats Spiderman for you. He can make you forget who you are. After all he taught all of us to hold on a second longer.

Some where in between, we start to hate some of the actions of the same Spiderman whom we cheered in the beginning. His vengeful attitude scares everyone. The way he attacks his best friend Harry is one of the second best scenes in the movie(I said one of the.. as the best is yet to come).

The reason I like Spiderman so much is that he is so real. He's no guy who's come from another planet nor is he the richest guy in the town with some cool gadgets to boast of. He has a family unlike Superman and Batman. You hit him, he bleeds. He is just a regular nerd. He becomes a super heo not due to his powers but due to his good actions(Although most of you people will have a different opinion on that). When Peter realizes that his black suit has done him more harm than good, we feel that "Ya, things like this happen to everyone. Why does only Spidey have to pay?" . Throughout the movie, the viewers cry when Peter does.

Soon, the symbionte leaves Peter and captures his work-place rival Eddie Brock played by Topher Grace. And also, there is the Sandman who is responsible for the death of Ben Parker. I actually felt sad for the man, since he has more than he can handle.

Spiderman loses everything. His girl has ditched him. He has become a monster thanks to the symbionte. His best friend Harry does not trust him. He has lost everything.

The last fifteen minutes leaves you in tears even though there are a few lighter moments. Spiderman has to fight both Sandman and Venom to save the love of his life, Mary Jane Watson. He cannot fo it alone and he knows that. The people of NY cheer him on. The numbers game beats Spidey. He gets trapped. Venom ties him up using his web and Sandman starts beating Spidey up. Then you see something flying into Sandman's ear. He puts his finger into his ear to find a goblin bomb. Wo!! This is one of the, if not the, best scenes. Harry is there and he saves his friend, Pete. Together they fight the bad guys and show them who is boss!!

Venom kills Harry which is really sad. Even after all this Pete tries to save Eddie Brock but fails. Another emotional scene is Peter forgiving Sandman. The movie ends leaving the audience asking for more. This is certainly the best movie in the trilogy. So leave a comment quickly and book your ticket for another show of the movie. Certainly, a many-times watch.

And if you think I am just an obsessed fan misleading the good people of the world, Spiderman has broken all previous box office records over the weekend.

And what did I learn from the movie,
"No Matter What is The battle raging withing, you always have a choice."

Some famous Spidey Quotes
Wednesday, May 2, 2007 | 5 Comments
If you Hate the amazing Spiderman, This blog is not the place you should be visiting. At least for the next 7 days. Today, I have a list of Spiderman quotes with me. These are some realy good ones taken from the movie.

"Not everyone is meant to make a difference. But for me, the choice to lead an ordinary life is no longer an option. " - Peter Parker, First Movie.

"Who am I? You sure you want to know? The story of my life is not for the faint of heart. If somebody said it was a happy little tale... if somebody told you I was just your average ordinary guy, not a care in the world... somebody lied" - Peter Parker, First Movie

"Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: "With great power comes great responsibility." This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I'm Spiderman."

" Here's the real truth. There are eight million people in this city. And those teeming masses exist for the sole purpose of lifting the few exceptional people onto their shoulders. You and me… We're exceptional. " - The Green Goblin to Spiderman.

"You cant live with revenge in your heart.It is like a poison.It can take u over before u know it and turn you into something ugly." Aunt May to Peter Parker.

"
Henry Jackson: Hi, Peter!
Peter Parker: Hey, Henry! You've grown tall.
May Parker: You'll never guess who he wants to be... Spider-Man!
Peter Parker: Why?
May Parker: He knows a hero when he sees one. Too few characters out there, flying around like that, saving old girls like me. And Lord knows, kids like Henry need a hero. Courageous, self-sacrificing people. Setting examples for all of us. Everybody loves a hero. People line up for them, cheer them, scream their names. And years later, they'll tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who taught them how to hold on a second longer. I believe there's a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams. " - Spiderman 2.
