I missed you Blog!!! But at least I still have Aamir???

Ok, so I know I have been missing for almost a month now, but this thing called life has really been taking up a lot of time...so sorry!

Even with all these things I have been watching films, so no worries...
Thankfully, my friend LOVES buying movies, so I've just been mooching of her collection.  Unfortunately, she seems to have become infatuated with Aamir Khan...so I've had to watch mostly his films, which of course they were fantastic, but still I just don't like Aamir outside of his 'reel' life.

So let me just say a little something about the films I've so far seen of his...

Ghajini

I remember not wanting to watch this film when it first came out, the whole action theme didn't catch my eye, so I just lived on being one of the few people who hadn't seen the film.  But thankfully, IFC was hosting this Wake Up To Bollywood theme every Sunday morning, for about a month I think, and I went to my friends house and watched it.

I loved this film, yes it was action packed but it just about everything i love about films...there was love, evil guys, songs, *sigh* I enjoyed every second of it.  Now I truly understand why it was such a big hit!

Rang De Basanti

*SPOILERS*

Another fantastic film, Aamir really has a knack for picking great films.  But One person that really stood out for me was hottie Kunal Kapoor!!! *melts*

Ok...back to the film...yes! This is gonna sound really ridiculous, but hearing that white lady talk in Hindi was just so weird, I swear I thought her voice was dubbed by someone else, but soon I got over it.  I don't really want to say to much because the the ending made me tear up a little.

Dil Chahta Hai

*SPOILERS*

What can I say I really enjoyed this film.  I loved the whole bromance {which I will say is a guilty pleasure of mine} between Aamir, Saif, and Akshaye.  There are two thing I need to point out, I loved the whole idea of a younger guy being in love with the older woman, but I really had wished they hadn't killed her off.  I wished the relationship would have been explored a lot more, because of the fact that the only type of craddle-robbing relationships you get is that of Older men with much younger women *cough* Shahrukh Khan *cough*.  Not that I have a problem with that but I really wish we could see more of it in more Hindi films.  Wake Up Sid did a really good job at it, but Konkona didn't have great chemistry with Ranbir.

And next point, I will say that I am one of those who ever saw Akshaye being a 'romantic' hero, some guys just don't fit the bill, for me at least.  But there was something about Akshaye that really blew me away, I loved him.

Taare Zameen Paar

If you know me well enough, then you know I have a certain dislike for children.  Therefore, i really try to avoid films that have children as the main aspect of a film, but after hearing so much about this film I gave it a shot.

This was one of my least liked Aamir films, and this is not just because of the kids but I just can't stand seeing an older man make himself acting like a clown, and at some parts the film got too overly sentimental.  I would just roll my eyes, one scene in particular is when Ishaan (Darsheel Safary) looks at Ram (Aamir Khan) painting and realizes that it's of himself, and he starts to cry, I was like "oh, please!"  But don't get me wrong it was a pretty good film.

14 Day's of Pyaar ... Valentine's Day Filmi Style (Day 9)

Although this wasn't the comeback we were expecting from Madhuri Dixit it did give us this memorable song.  Kunal Kapoor is just sexy!!! I have also started watching more Konkona Sen Sharma films, and boy! this girl can act.  She needs to make more films!!!

Day 9: Ishq Hua - Aaja Nachle

*Konkona Sen Sharma

*Kunal Kapoor

*Madhuri Dixit

*Ranvir Shorey
*Akshaye Khanna

KoKo shines in this song, my favorite part is @ 1:48

I couldn't leave this song out! So Aaja Nachle!

Life Is Different Here...A review of Page 3

Life is different here...

These are the best lines to describe this film. These lines are woven throughout the film and could pretty much sum up the whole theme. We have Madhavi Sharma, played by fabulous Konkona Sen Sharma, a journalist for the infamous Page 3 column of the Indian newspaper. Involved in the glitzy and glamorous world of the rich and the famous, she eventually discovers that this world, when examined closely, is just as disturbing as the 'real' world. She lives with her roommate Pearl Sequiera, played by Sandhya Mridul, and her later roommate Gayatri Sachdeva, played by Tara Sharma.

Most of the film tries show just how wicked and self absorbed these people are, by these people I mean the rich and famous socialites that are willing to do anything to be on the front page of the newspaper. Madhavi at first blind to this, discovers through various events in her life; which would include her roommate's attempted suicide, her boyfriends affair, her best friend's betrayal, her termination from her job, and the suicide of a socialite, whom she considered to be the most real one of all. I don't want to go into to much detail, for that you should watch the film.

What really opens her eyes to this glossy world, I think, was the funeral service being held for the popular socialite who committed suicide. She realizes that these people don't care about her at all, they just knew the press would be there and any kind of publicity is good publicity. Madhavi realizes that instead of mourning, people seem to be more preoccupied with their material world. In the end she is asked to cover a party for her Page 3 column...she stares at all the people she used to feel very comfortable with...and leaves but not before realizing that, “the party is over," for her.

This is a fantastic film, it takes you into the 'real' world of the rich and famous who gloss the covers of magazines.  It reminds me of Luck By Chance, but I think that in this film the expose into this world worked alot better than it did in LBC.
